No Escape from Love novel Chapter 237

Felicia's expression instantly changed as she snapped her gaze toward Alex. "Oh dear, Mr. Hastings, why didn't you say so earlier?"

Seizing the opportunity, she immediately launched into a vicious tirade against Nicole and Serena. "You have no idea, but Nicole is nothing but trouble! She's a vixen who completely bewitched my son, and now, she's trying to coax Serena into changing her last name. Who knows what ulterior motives she has?"

Just then, Shirley came down the stairs. Hearing Felicia belittle Nicole and Serena, she couldn't help but fan the flames.

"Exactly! My mom is right. Nicole doesn't look like a decent woman at all. She's always dressing up so seductively. Who knows how many men she has lured?"

She paused for a moment, then said even more sharply, "God knows what kind of poison she's been feeding Serena, making her turn her back on her own grandmother?"

"Seriously, young people these days are getting more and more out of control!" Felicia sighed, shaking her head as if heartbroken. "No sense of propriety at all!"

Shirley eagerly chimed in, "That's right, Mom. Do you think Nicole is doing this on purpose?"

"I'd bet on it!" Felicia declared with certainty. "That mother and daughter are just trying to get their hands on my son's fortune!"

"Mom, you're absolutely right! Women like her should just…" Shirley made a throat-slitting gesture with a glint of malice in her eyes.

"Hmph! One day, I'll make sure they're both utterly ruined!" Felicia spat venomously. "I'll teach them a lesson so that no one will dare to mess with the Ashford family!"

Listening to this vile exchange, Alex's expression grew darker and darker.
