Mr. CEO's Substitute Bride-Chapter 926 - 922: The Risqué Photo Received on the Phone
After Melody Zachary was discharged from the hospital, she went on a vacation with Oliver Shaw. The end of summer and beginning of autumn is the best time to travel.
At this moment, every table in the Macau casino was packed.
Elizabeth White felt like she’d been carrying bad luck for the past few years.
Back then, the film Felix Shaw invested in was enough to make her famous, but someone revealed her dealings with Director Zhang to Zhang’s wife, resulting in her being slapped by that shrew in public. Since then, she lingered between second-tier and first-tier, gaining some fame but never able to truly join the top ranks.
Taking advantage of the past few days without any announcements, she went to Hong Kong to indulge in shopping, and decided to play in Macau for a couple of days before heading back.
Originally meant to relax, her luck was really bad, losing a lot yesterday, and today was the same.
Seeing that the chips in her hand were down to a few, Elizabeth bet them all, only to lose again when the cards were revealed. What started as casual play ended up with her losing a few million in just two days, part of which was borrowed from the casino.
People always say celebrities earn money easily, but expenses are high too. Over the years, she hadn’t saved much.
After losing her last chips, Elizabeth stood up and went to the chip exchange counter, spoke with someone inside, and was soon led into a room...
In the past few months, Felix Shaw had been living quite comfortably, with his father accompanying his mother, he didn’t have to worry.
After breakfast, he drove Mia Foster to the company, and then headed to work himself, his lips slightly curled as he looked at the road ahead.
The phone in front rang, showing an unfamiliar number. Hesitating for a moment, he plugged the earphones into his ears.
"Director Shaw, do you remember me?"
The woman’s voice pierced his eardrum, somewhat familiar, but Felix couldn’t recall who it was.
Frowning slightly, Felix asked tentatively, "You are...?"
"Hehe..." A soft laugh came over, Elizabeth White’s voice was tinged with mockery, "Director Shaw, you’ve really forgotten a lot of people, haven’t you, can’t even recognize my voice?"
Realizing it was an old fling, Felix replied impatiently, "Sorry, I’m in a hurry!" Just as he was about to remove the earphones, Elizabeth’s voice came through again, "I’m Elizabeth White, and I have intimate photos of your mother with a gigolo."
Felix thought he’d misheard, frowning and asking, "What did you say?"
"I said, I have photos of your mother in bed with a man," Elizabeth repeated word by word. Felix snorted coldly, yanked off the earphones, and tossed them aside, "Nonsense!"
The champagne-colored luxury car turned a corner, driving into the underground parking lot of the company building. Before reaching his exclusive parking spot, the phone flashed upfront, indicating an incoming message.
Parking the car and turning off the engine, Felix picked up the phone to take a look.
It was a picture, showing a man and a woman without clothes, the background seemed to be a hotel bed, the man pressed against the woman, the two tightly entwined...
The woman in the image was his mother, and the man was young, a face unknown to him from any films. Could it be... his mother had called for a gigolo in her loneliness?
Staring at the picture on the phone, Felix’s thoughts drifted, his brows furrowing as if pondering something, fingers holding the phone unconsciously clenching.
Meanwhile, in the hotel room, after sending out the video, Elizabeth clasped the phone with both hands, closing her eyes and praying continuously, hoping, hoping, otherwise her plan would fall through...
