In fact, if the Moore family couldn’t win Anthony over, they would consider him a foe in the future. Since I was Anthony’s wife, I would have to get myself ready to go against Jared and the Moore family with him.
Considering the number of foes we had to be wary of, I couldn’t afford to offend the nasty and pretentious Felix anymore.
Stacey felt dejected and decided to push her luck for one last time. She said, “Ms. Stanhope, I’m conscious of your concerns, but what if I trade my future for my freedom? I’m sure you’re aware of my capabilities and educational background, aren’t you? As long as I get to leave Felix, I’ll infiltrate the Moore family on your behalf!”
She’s willing to infiltrate the Moore family on my behalf?
I peered at her in the eyes and confronted, “Are you trying to deceive me? Cameron and Zachary can easily get their hands on our relationship. What are you going to do if they find out you used to be my subordinate for two years?”
She chuckled because she found my words hilarious. “Do you really think the Moore family has time for such a trivial matter?”
“You can’t deny the fact you used to be affiliated with Featherstone Corporation, can you?” Stacey was a capable woman. Hence, it would be odd if she were to tell others she had been unemployed ever since her graduation.
She looked at me in return and asked, “As long as you get John to do you a favor, he will never say no, won’t he?”
I raised my brows in surprise as I was shocked by the amount of information she possessed regarding my closed ones.
Due to my skeptical look, she sat upright and asserted, “Ms. Stanhope, you don’t have to worry. I started gathering all sorts of information after Felix showed his true colors once you left J City. I had been keeping an eye on the things back in K City because I was pretty sure I was the only one who could be of aid to you.”
“Are you insisting I should offer my help?”
“I don’t have another choice! If you don’t help me, I’ll end up living a miserable life with him! No! I don’t think I can make it through another few months, let alone my entire life!”
I was clueless about the things that had occurred over the past six months. She used to live a blissful life with Felix, yet things took a drastic turn for the worst within six months.
“You have been acquainted with Felix for so many years. Have you only discovered his true colors after both of you are married?”
Stacey smirked as though she found herself pathetic and foolish when she heard of Felix. “You’re right. I used to think he was the right one after the years we spent together. However, I was wrong because he had been putting on a show to deceive me! I wasn’t the only one he had deceived. In fact, he even tricked his parents and his friends into believing he was a gentle and innocent man!”
Halfway through her speech, she started trembling and avoided my gaze. Perhaps she started recalling the horrifying memories she had with him again. “If I hadn’t witnessed the vicious things he had done behind others, I would never figure out he was such a cruel man! After we got married, he became another man. In the first few months, he would throw a tantrum and vent his anger on me, but eventually, he started abusing me. I once thought of acquiring the cops’ aid, but others would step up and vouch for him, stating he was a gentle and kind man. They blamed me for his vulgar acts and said I was the reason behind the change in his attitude! You saw how he behaved and got infuriated abruptly for no apparent reasons when we were in the restaurant, right? I had nothing to do with it, and I couldn’t figure out the reason behind it either!”
Hearing what she had said, I decided to stop poking my nose into her horrifying experiences and asked, “What sort of help do you need from me?”
I wasn’t in a position to judge, but I could definitely use another reliable ally instead of making myself another foe.
Perhaps Stacey didn’t expect I would give in to her request just yet; she stared at me wide-eyed and replied excitedly, “Felix is a perverted man deep down. He enjoys going after women who are hard to get, and that’s you! I need you to join me for a meal.”
“Have you been thinking about this all this while?”
She looked elsewhere and nodded because she felt guilty deep down. “You’re the only one who’s capable of taking Felix out once and for all amongst the ones I’m acquainted with.”
I cast a skeptical gaze in return and exclaimed, “I’m impressed because that’s actually a brilliant plan, Stacey! Once you’re ready, feel free to call me.”
She suggested and handed over a name card to me. “What about tonight? The address, contact number, and room number are listed on the card.”
I couldn’t help but scoff when I saw the name card. “What makes you think I’m going to give in to your request?”
“Haven’t you already agreed to it?” Stacey replied with a determined look.
“Great! I guess I’ll look forward to working with you!” I took over the name card and initiated a handshake.
She returned the favor and replied, “I won’t let you down!”
At 8 p.m., I reached the private dining room of a relatively miniature bar at a hidden alley.
Stacey had arrived by the time I entered the private dining room, but Felix was nowhere to be seen. Ten minutes later, the man finally showed up and joined us.
He was surprised by my presence and greeted me with a courteous smile the moment he saw me. “Stacey told me she has a friend that’s keen to have some wild and raunchy fun together. I didn’t expect it would be you, Mrs. Featherstone! To be honest, I’m surprised by your kink!”
I responded with a smirk, but I couldn’t get used to the odd set of outfits I had put on. It was a set of exposing outfits that I would rarely wear.
On top of that, I had gone to great lengths to doll myself up because I knew what it would take to charm a man like him.
“Mr. Ludwick! Have a seat!” I offered him to take a seat by my side and flashed him a bright smile.
Meanwhile, he sized me up over and over again as though I was some sort of exhibition item.
“Mrs. Featherstone, aren’t you afraid that Mr. Featherstone would find out that you’re here with us today? I mean, no ordinary man can accept the fact their spouse would, you know, have fun with another man,” he expressed his concerns, but his expression suggested he wasn’t worried the slightest.
The messed-up man had a vicious grin on his face because he was thrilled by the malicious thoughts in his mind. I recalled Stacey’s warning – Felix was corrupted to his very core.
With that, I tucked my hair behind my ears and denoted, “Well, all we have to do is to keep him in the dark, isn’t it?”
“Hahaha!” Felix laughed and announced, “I have always wondered the reason Anthony neglected you and spent most of his time with other women! It turns out you’re special!”
I was disgusted by the conversation we had, but I forced a smile and asserted, “We only get to live our life once, don’t we? Thus, shouldn’t we live our life to the fullest and enjoy ourselves to our heart’s content?”
Felix swirled his glass of wine and had his eyes glued to me since the moment he walked into the room.
He guffawed at my words because I was spot on. As revolting as it was, he enjoyed being around a woman with the same interest as him the most.
Then, Stacey took a seat beside me and whispered, “I’ll head out for a short while. Get in touch with me as soon as possible if you need me.”
I nodded and muttered under my breath, “You better make your way back soon.”
