The Wrong Woman
Chapter 552

Mila grinned when she saw Lillian irritated.

Finally, Lillian revealed her true intentions. She just wanted to embarrass Mila before others and then falsely accused Mila of using dishonest tactics to drive Fenna away.

She schemed to create a scandal with the help of the politicians' children to put pressure on Donald and other politicians.

This would lead to public criticism of Nathan for mixing personal and professional matters. It would also stop Fenna from being unfairly transferred elsewhere.

The banquet was just a setup.

Meanwhile, the politicians' children began to speak among themselves.

"I heard General Morrison is honest and upright. Why did he obey his wife's commands? She probably schemed to get rid of his assistant!"

"Yeah, all she does is pick on her husband's female coworkers."

"Oh no! My sister works at the military base, too. I hope she won't be affected by all this."

"Who knows?"

Mila couldn't bear it any longer. She calmly took out her phone and called Phoebe. "Phoebe, bring me my briefcase."

Phoebe, waiting in the car, promptly obeyed the request.

Mila put her phone in her gown pocket and stood up to change the subject. "Since I don't know much, how about you guys be considerate and join me in something I'm familiar with?"

The man who had talked to her before became a little excited. He asked, "What are you familiar with?"

"How about we have a passage in different foreign languages, and we'll see who understands more of it?" Mila suggested.

The mood turned tense all of a sudden. Everyone present only spoke two languages, at most.

The man smiled awkwardly and said, "You sound confident. Do you know that many languages?"

"Just a few, around eight. Shall we begin? How about Fenna asks the questions?" Mila responded casually.

Silence followed. Everyone looked at each other, feeling embarrassed and too intimidated to continue.

The man grinned and said, "This isn't fun. L-Let's try something else."

Mila pointed to the piano on the stage and said, "I'll play the piano, and you guys can try to guess the music. Sound good?"

Nobody answered because they weren't used to listening to piano music.

The man kept his forced smile and said, "L-Let's try something more interesting."

"How about quizzes? Math, chemistry, astronomy, geography, history, politics-anything like that. These feel more worthwhile than playing murder mystery games or flip cup, wouldn't you agree?" Mila suggested.

There was a moment of silence. What had begun as a relaxed gathering now felt like being back in a classroom during a test. It seemed like anything related to knowledge made them uncomfortable. Lillian promptly stepped in. "We're talking about how you drove Fenna away. Don't try to change the subject."

Mila calmly watched Phoebe approach. Then, she stepped forward to take the briefcase from Phoebe.

After taking her laptop out from it, Mila walked over to Lillian and the others and casually asked, "Can any of you understand programming data?"

"What do you mean?" Lillian asked, sounding annoyed.

Mila stayed silent as she switched on the laptop and directed the screen toward Fenna. She emphasized each word as she spoke, "Considering the dirty tricks you've done, do I even need to make an effort to get rid of you?"

Everyone got excited when they heard Mila mentioning "dirty tricks". They gathered around Fenna to see what was on the laptop screen, but only saw lines of code that they couldn't understand.

"What's this?" Lillian asked.

Mila's demeanor grew stern as she responded, "This is the data from the day you were abducted. After you went to the hospital, you took Nathan's phone.

"You purposely disconnected his call and turned off his phone. He was on a mission, and you had no authority to interfere with his calls, regardless of who was calling."
