The Wrong Woman
Chapter 542

Layla couldn't just stand by. She stepped up to defend Fenna. "Nate, Fenna has done nothing wrong—"

Nathan eyed her sharply and growled, "Layla, stay out of this." Layla was taken aback by his response, her voice trailed off nervously.

He walked out the front door and saw Cole waiting by the car.

"General Morrison, good morning," Cole greeted him politely.

Nathan looked around and asked softly, "Where's Mrs. Morrison?"

"Mrs. Morrison and Phoebe just drove off."

"Follow them," Nathan said. He got into the car immediately.

Cole was driving as he asked, "General Morrison, is something wrong?"

"She hacked into the Dreamshift Beauty Salon surveillance to investigate Fenna," Nathan replied urgently.

"What's there to investigate about Fenna?"

"That's not the point. The point is that she found something suspicious, so she wants to dig a little deeper." "General Morrison, are you concerned that Mrs Morrison could disrupt our plans?"

Nathan looked out of the window in silence. He could always come up with another plan if it had disrupted. He feared Mila might end up like Fenna the last time, abducted while digging deeper into this beauty salon.

An hour later, a car pulled into the underground parking lot of Dreamshift Beauty Salon. Phoebe turned off the engine and unbuckled her seat belt. She looked back at Mila and asked, "Mila, we're here. Shall we go in?"

Mila looked down at the tablet with a serious expression and replied thoughtfully, "No, we're not going in."

"We've come all this way, why not?"

Mila placed the tablet before Phoebe, who studied the company's registration information. Avery represented Dreamshift Beauty Salon legally, which was one of the properties owned by the Hoffises. "Avery?" Phoebe remembered when she and Mila had dunked Avery's head into the toilet bowl in the salon bathroom. She thought Avery would kill them for that.

Mila retrieved the tablet and said, "I've been watching the footage. Fenna seems fine. She's probably here on Nathan's orders to check things out." "Check out what?"

"I'm not sure what Nathan is investigating, but there seems to be something wrong with this salon. I'm more certain now that I've checked the registration information." "Mila, I'm not afraid of danger. I could pretend to be a customer and dig deeper," Phoebe suggested.

Yet, Mila hesitated. She considered it risky, especially since even Fenna had gotten into trouble. Besides, punishing Avery before made them more susceptible to trouble. "Let's head back," Mila said.

Phoebe reluctantly buckled her seatbelt before driving off. Moments later, she spotted several burly men with iron bars standing beside an SUV.

"Mila, we're trapped," Phoebe said as she gripped the steering wheel.

They'd been under surveillance from the moment they'd pulled into the underground parking lot. Those guys meant business.

Mila looked up to see the armed men approaching while Phoebe tried to reverse the car. Unexpectedly, another SUV blocked their tail. Dozens of tough-looking men came out from behind them. They were surrounded.

"Mila, what do we do?" Phoebe asked worriedly. She turned her head back and forth. "There're so many of them and they're armed. I can't take them all."

Mila checked her phone and said, "There's no signal."

Phoebe kept a wary eye on the approaching men. "What now? We've walked right into the lion's den."
