Chapter 173 The Enemy of My Enemy Is My Friend
“I don’t want to become your enemy. The enemy of my enemy is my friend. Don’t you think so too, Miss Lewis?”
In Mikayla’s eyes, the female voice coming from the other side of the phone was akin to a voice coming from the deepest, darkest abyss. She felt as if Britney was dragging her down into a bottomless pit. If I don’t get out now, I’ll be in deeper trouble next time. Thus, she took a deep breath and solemnly said, “You’re only doing this to get revenge against Courtney and Alexander because you feel as if you lost everything that you were supposed to have. When it comes down to it, isn’t it just about money? How much money do you want to end all of this? I’ll give you as much as you want.”
A sneer came from the other side of the phone. “Why don’t you say that in front of Alexander too?”
“You—”
“You don’t happen to think of yourself as a kind person, do you, Miss Lewis?” Britney’s voice was very oppressive. “You wanted to regain your original position beside Alexander. I helped you, didn’t I?”
Mikayla felt a little taken aback when she thought back on how caring Alexander had been to her ever since she was hospitalized. He used to treat her very well before she got married. However, she took all of that for granted back then. Only after suffering various grievances in the outside world could she compare between her experiences and realize the difference. Even so, that love and protection he showed her after she saved his son were but a fraction of what she used to enjoy.
Therefore, she felt a trace of bitterness in her heart. “What else do you want from me?”
Upon hearing that question, Britney laughed coldly from the other side of the phone. It seemed like everything was going as she had expected. “Don’t worry; I don’t need you to do anything. Just continue with your original plan and try to find a way to bring Alexander back to your side.”
Mikayla did not respond. Hanging up the phone, she sank down on the hospital bed with a dazed expression. She couldn’t get Britney’s sinister voice out of her head—it lingered in her ears and filled the spaces in her head.
