"Why are you coming after Kaleb? What did he do to you?" In order to catch the woman's tongue, Brittany was no longer in a hurry to clarify her identity.
"Why should I tell you? You haven't told me who you are." The woman raised her eyebrows.
Brittany held her hands together and looked embarrassed. "You've already guessed it, haven't you?"
The woman thought she had guessed correctly and muttered to herself, "That old pervert." Then, she turned to Brittany and said, "Young lady, listen. Kaleb is not worth entrusting. I'm already a good example!"
The woman did not suspect Brittany's words because no woman would admit that she was a mistress. It was not a glorious thing after all.
Brittany thought that the woman was likely a weapon to deal with Kaleb, so she quickly opened the door and ushered her in. She tried to be close with her and asked, "When did you get together with Kaleb?"
"Five years ago." The woman actually came to find trouble with Kaleb. So as long as it was something related to him, she readily revealed everything to her.
"Five years ago? That has been long!" Brittany was surprised and asked, "Then did you know he's married?" "Yes, isn't this his home with his old wife? Young lady, are you unaware of that?"
The woman looked around the shabby house with her beautiful eyes before she cast a look of derision at Brittany. She was seemingly mocking her that she was acting like a fool.
Brittany also smiled. However, she still did not intend to reveal her true identity. It would be easier to get close to her by having the same identity, would she not?
Fortunately, the woman did not continue to go against her. After mocking her, she changed the subject. "By the way, where's that pheasant? Call her out. I want to talk to her."
Brittany, unable to wrap her head around the question, asked, "Pheasant?"
"Well, I'm referring to Kaleb's wife, Fiona. We've always called her by that." Brittany finally realised that she was giving her a nickname with a similar pronunciation.
"Oh, she's gone out. I don't know when she'll be back." Brittany said honestly.
The woman pointed at the telephone on the table with her chin and said to Brittany, "Then you call her and urge her to come back soon."
Brittany hesitated.
The woman smiled and said proudly, "It doesn't matter. It's not my first time here. She knows me."
"But, I don't have her phone number."
Brittany looked at her nervously, fearing that she would leave the next second. And she would not be able to ask for more useful information.
"Then I'll wait here for her to come back." The woman said as she glanced at Brittany. Smiling, she asked, "Why are you so nervous? I won't harm you."
Brittany slightly lowered her eyes to hide her true emotions. She was trying to figure out a way to please her. After a while, she said, "It's just that you look so beautiful that I'm losing my breath."
"You're such a sweet talker." The woman seemed to realise something as she said, "No wonder Kaleb could bring you home without worry. Having you, coupled with the pheasant at home, the atmosphere must be great and peaceful."
The woman's words made Brittany suddenly remember something, "Didn't you just say that it's not your first time here?"
The woman sneered. "Yes! This is only my first step. If he doesn't pay me enough, I will go to his office and expose his scandal. After so many years, I know the best of his true colours!" "But, if you want to make trouble at his office, you must have evidence. Otherwise, he can just say that you're making things up and drive you away."
The woman glanced at her and said, "Don't worry. I have a lot of evidences. I can even reveal a little bit of it to you. Apart from you and me, Kaleb has still two other mistresses outside."
Two mistresses outside and one in front of her, so he had a total of three mistresses! Brittany was totally shocked.
Kaleb had even told her that it was useless to be a director. But if it was not beneficial, how could he support his mistresses? With love? No way! All he wanted was their bodies, which he could only exchange them with money!
Seeing Brittany in disbelief, the woman could not help laughing. "Is it indeed out of your expectation? That the old man... is actually so energetic?"
Brittany shook her head and said, "No, I'm just wondering how did he get so much money?"
The woman replied directly. "He is the president of the company and has been working for almost 20 years. Of course he would have quite some money."
Brittany accounted it for Kaleb. "But considering the basic salary, year- end welfare, and dividends from the company, it's still unreasonable for an employee who has worked for 20 years to make so much money."
Kaleb had three mistresses. Could they be kept in the same place? They must be hidden in different residences!
He had to prepare a room for each mistress. And adding their daily expenses, how much should Kaleb earn to be able to support all of them?
The woman curled her lips and sounded wise, "That's simple. It is all from corruption."
