Who's Crying Now, Ex-Husband?

Chapter 571

As long as no outsiders barge in, Felicity will be safe here.

Mila nodded, though she couldn't quite shake her worry. Cossio was too good at hiding-lurking in the shadows, no one knew where he might turn up or what he'd do if he realized Felicity was here.

Damn it.

She was so angry, she could have throttled Lysander right then and there.

What on earth was he playing at?

Mila drew a deep breath, steadied herself, and stepped over to where Felicity was fussing with Conrad. Gently, she took Felicity's hand and smiled, her voice soft and warm. "Sweetheart, the engagement party doesn't start for a while. There's a little video of me and my fiancé that's going to play later would you like to watch it with us before everyone else sees?"

Cara passed her laptop over.

Felicity's memory was a jumbled mess these days, her mind as unsteady as a child's, easily led and distracted. In no time at all, she forgot about Conrad, hurrying off to the corner with Cara, excited to see Mila's engagement video.

The atmosphere in the room turned icy.

Mila regarded Conrad with a level, cold stare. "Chairman Montgomery, what exactly are you doing here? Are you aware that taking her out like this could cause serious problems?"

He gave a careless glance at Forrest. "It looks pretty safe to me," he replied.

He turned back to Mila. "Relax. I'm not here to sabotage your engagement. Sweetheart wanted to see you-she insisted, so I brought her. After all, I used to be your elder. I suppose I still am."

Elder? Mila didn't budge.
