Chapter 114: CAUGHT UP
"He said that I am a useless woman and that I am poor so he kicked me out so that he can marry Erika now that she is rich," she replied softly.
Mrs Evans felt pity for Felicia so she cooed her in her arms and petted her while whispering comforting words to her.
Felicia smirked, knowing her mother bought her story. Even though Erika was not the main reason that Adrain threw her out of the house, Felicia still believed that it was. She had a feeling that Adrain would go looking for Erika now that he had found out about her adulterous affairs. She blamed Erika for everything even though the latter had nothing to do with her anymore.
"Nonsense!" Mr Evans stood up from where he was sitting and walked towards the mother and daughter. "Adrain dare not do such a thing".
Felicia stared at her father with a tear-stricken face. For a moment there, she thought that her father had caught up with her lie. She was now thankful that they didn’t have a TV in the house because if they did, then they would have found out about everything.
Sniffed back her cries, Felicia said to her father,
"Dad, I am telling you, he did say that. Even before Uncle Adam went into a comatose state, he had decided to get both Adrain and Erika to remarry so that Adrain would use Erika’s riches to save the Harts corporations".
This shocked both the husband and wife. Adam had always been a greedy man but they never expected him to be so shameless. The same woman that he despised for being his daughter-in-law without a strong background was now the same woman that he wanted his son to remarry even after his son had married someone else. So shameless.
"But he can’t just leave you alone and go remarry his ex-wife", Mrs. Evans said. "You are still his wife".
Felicia shed some more tears before talking, "I know mum but Adrain doesn’t love me. He never loved me mum", she concluded.
"Nonsense", Mr. Evans interrupted. "I am going to call him now to come take you back. You are still his wife after all".
Mr Evans brought out his small phone from his pocket to dial Adrain’s number but Felicia quickly stopped him.
"No Dad, I think it’s better this way. I don’t want to force him to love me. When he loves me back, he will definitely come and pick me up later", she said.
If her dad calls Adrain then he would feel agitated and tell her father everything.
Mr Evans nodded and dropped his phone back inside his pocket. Felicia released a sigh of relief.
The trio stayed together in the living room until someone suddenly bashed the living room door like a mad person.
The trio turned to the door in unison to find a woman who seemed to be in her late forties red from rage, staring at them intently.
"Who among you here is Felicia?" The woman questioned in an angry, rude tone.
Ignoring the woman’s question, Mr Evans demanded, "Who are you and why did you barge into my house without permission?" The woman also ignored his question as she was very angry at the moment.
She had come to see the woman who dared to sleep with her husband.
Without replying to Mr Evans, she passed him and stared at the identical women in front of her. One seemed to be her age mate and the other looked younger, probably her daughter.
Facing Felicia, she questioned her angrily,
"Are you Felicia Evans?!"
Felicia flinched due to the woman’s yelling. She wished she could shrink on the couch or possibly turn invisible. She had never expected a day like this to come. She had been so careful but how did the wife of Mr Lee find her? She questioned herself.
"Girl, am asking you a question?" The woman glared at Felicia seeing she had refused to answer her.
Mrs Evans was confused. She stared at the woman with eyes of unfamiliarity with no clue as to why she seemed angry at Felicia. From the clothes the woman was wearing, Mrs Evans could tell that she was rich.
Thinking that her daughter was being bullied, her mother’s instincts instantly kicked in.
Standing up from the couch to match the woman’s height, Mr Evans questioned her with a glare.
"Who are you and why are you here to bully my daughter?"
Mrs Lee scoffed at the accusation.
"I am not here to bully your daughter at all but I am here to teach her a lesson", Mrs Lee corrected and charged at Felicia who attempted to sneak away.
Grabbing her hair tightly, she dragged Felicia who yelled in pain. Mr and Mr Evans were surprised at the sudden abuse.
"Leave me alone you witch", Felicia insulted as she tried escaping from the woman’s strong hands but it only made Mrs Lee angrier and she tightened her hands on Felicia’s hair.
"Leave me daughter alone, you crazy woman!" Mrs Evans ordered Mrs Lee with clenched fists. "What did she ever do to you?"
Mrs Lee was confused as to why she asked her that question.
"You don’t know?" She questioned Mrs Evans who furrowed her eyebrows this time around in confusion.
Felicia immediately panicked. She tried to get away from the woman but Mrs. Lee seemed to want to drag her brains out.
Mrs Lee was about to explain but the yell from many other women interrupted her. Mr. and Mrs. Evans stood, flabbergasted to see the number of middle-aged women who had barged inside their living room, having only a few mid-twenties and mid-thirties among them.
Felicia recognized all the women and the hair on her skin stood on all ends. Blood was drained from her face as she gulped down her saliva to calm her racing heart which seemed to want to jump out from her chest.
PAK!! The stinging pain of the hard slap seems to have drowned back the blood that had drained from Felicia’s fear-stricken face.
"You bitch!" The woman who had slapped Felicia cursed at her.
The others glared at her like they couldn’t wait to teach her lessons for sleeping with their husbands.
