Crises in Love (Zora and Jaylan) novel Chapter 239

I knew what was happening in my mind that Catherine was starting to stir the pot with Olivia.

I didn't stop her. After all, what if Catherine's actions were like a ticking time bomb, ready to explode at any moment? It was certainly a potential threat to Irving.

As expected, Olivia seemed to be intrigued, but she refused to admit it. Instead, she just stared at Catherine, refusing to utter a word.

Words can betray you, and Olivia was smart enough to realize that.

The other ladies who had joined us were ready for the drama, with anticipation written all over their faces. Nothing draws attention like a scandal involving infidelity and a mistress.

I glanced around and saw Jerome still engrossed in a conversation with a group of men, looking very relaxed. Jesper was with Caleb the whole time, seeming to trust him a lot.

Meanwhile, Jessica was in a corner, talking to a man who appeared to be a businessman. She was holding a glass of red wine, looking quite focused. The man was hard to forget - he was in his thirties but had a head full of silver hair. However, it gave him a distinctive aura.

As for Hazel, wherever there was laughter, she was there. I was worried she might get too excited and have a breakdown. Her laughter was so loud that it was impossible to ignore.

I looked back to see Catherine still firing away, asking the ladies, "There are many reasons why men seek women. Some do it to carry on their lineage, some for a helping hand, and some for a teammate! Which one do you think you are?"

The ladies seemed to be deep in thought, trying to figure out where they fit in.

Olivia, at this point, seemed more relaxed. After all, all the ladies were getting involved, which took the spotlight off her.

I raised an eyebrow, which seemed to encourage Catherine. She continued to speak with confidence, persuading the ladies.

"Well, they sure had it coming, no two ways about it!"

Catherine then turned to Olivia, “You see, a mistress is nothing more than an appetizer for a man. He may seem bland when he's pursuing you, but after marriage? He becomes indifferent. Love? That's a load of bull!”

Olivia's face turned beet red. She was smart enough to realize that Catherine was indirectly criticizing her.

I never thought Catherine could be so persuasive, even if her words were twisted. But she did make a lot of sense. Even I was convinced!

Catherine continued, “Think about it. If he can discard his faithful wife, what makes you think he won't do the same to you when you age? Men never lose their desire, no matter how old they are. As long as they've got the strength to lift a bag of potatoes, they still have the appetite!”

The ladies agreed once more, sharing their disgust for unfaithful men and comparing the mistresses to their rightful wives, with glances towards Olivia.
