"Who is it?"
Phoenix was very surprised and even placed her hand on her waist.
This was her palace. It was filled with her people from inside to outside. Someone actually sneaked in,
and the most shocking thing was that she didn't notice it!
This was what Phoenix found terrifying.
She stared fixedly at a corner of the room. The voice came from the window. It could be seen that the
person was either under the window or behind it.
Phoenix was ready to attack at any time.
At this moment, Nicole slowly walked out from behind the curtain.
"It's me."
When Phoenix saw that it was Nicole, she had indescribable feelings.
Why was she here?
More exactly, when was she here?
If she had been here when Samuel came, wouldn't she have seen her sorry state just now?
At the thought of this, a trace of ruthlessness flashed through Phoenix's eyes.
She really didn't like this woman!
Nicole felt her anger, but she didn't care. Instead, she came to Phoenix, poured herself a glass of wine
in front of her, and sniffed it.
"Good wine. You actually kept such a good wine for yourself. You bad woman."
"Nicole, why are you here? Is this something a young lady should do?"
Phoenix's voice was ice-cold. Ordinary people would have been frightened by her aura, but it seemed
to be nothing to Nicole. She took a sip of wine and felt her entire body warm.
Country F was too cold. She did not want to be a stalker. However, Yanice was asleep. She had no
choice but to go back, and she saw Samuel walking towards Phoenix. She involuntarily followed him
and witnessed the entire scene.
Originally, Nicole did not intend to appear, but Phoenix's painful appearance made her somewhat
unbearable. Most importantly, when Phoenix and Helen said that they would cancel the plan and send
someone to protect her, Nicole knew that Phoenix was not that bad.
Now that Nicole saw Phoenix shooting daggers at her, she found herself like a bad person.
"Don't be nervous. Apart from being a young lady, I am also the owner of Night Elf Empire. Master
Phoenix should know about this."
"I always thought it was because of Mr. Green."
Phoenix did not conceal her disdain and displeasure.
Nicole didn't care. A woman who had coveted her husband for many years suddenly realized that she
should let go of her obsession. To Nicole, this was something worth celebrating.
As long as Phoenix wouldn't snatch her man away, she didn't want to have another enemy.
"I feel like you were looking down on me with that."
"I'm glad you know yourself well."
Phoenix could tell that Nicole was not here to fight with her, but she just couldn't vent her anger.
How could this woman obtain all of Samuel's love?
Thinking this through had nothing to do with Nicole, and it wasn't Nicole's turn to make fun of her.
"Nicole, get up and fight with me."
"Why? I'm Samuel's wife. Aren't you afraid that Samuel will punish you if you fight with me?"
Nicole said it on purpose, and it made Phoenix tremble with anger.
"I regret it. I don't have to wait until tomorrow to kill you. Even if Mr. Green hates me from now on, I
have to vent my anger."
After Phoenix finished speaking, she came towards Nicole.
Nicole knew that Phoenix was just unwilling in her heart. After dodging, she also wanted to know if her
skills had become rusty.
She hadn't practiced for long because of her health. Although Samuel had always been by her side,
Nicole knew that in Country F, it was better to rely on herself than to ask for help. Moreover, she did not
want to drag Samuel down. After Yanice left tomorrow, they would start to face danger.
Right now, Phoenix happened to be her whetstone.
Thinking of this, Nicole put down the glass and started fighting with Phoenix.
Phoenix never expected Nicole's skill to be so good. Most importantly, why did her skill look so similar
to Samuel's?
She suddenly understood something and felt even sadder.
Samuel just enlightened her because she saved his life, and she didn't expect that he would teach
Nicole everything.
Phoenix's jealous surged up again.
"Damn it, Mr. Green personally taught you martial arts."
"What? He's my husband, and he taught me more than that."
Nicole rarely enjoyed the fighting. Under normal circumstances, her body would not allow her to do so.
Today, she did it as she pleased.
Moreover, Samuel believed in her. She needed to know whether Phoenix was worth trusting.
Even though she had no intention of making enemies with her from the beginning.
Phoenix was provoked and she attacked even more violently.
"Nicole, are you showing off?"
"Wow, you can tell. I'm really sorry."
Nicole felt that she was in great need of a lesson right now, and Phoenix did not disappoint her. She
punched her fiercely on her shoulder with a left hook.
The pain activated Nicole's spirit of fighting.
It would be too simple to erase the unhappiness stemmed from being threatened by a love rival just
because of a few words from Phoenix.
"Phoenix, if you have any ability, show it. Let me see what you have to be proud of."
"If I win, will you give Mr. Green to me?"
"You wish. Samuel made himself so clear just now. Do you have a bad hearing?"
Nicole's words were tantamount to telling Phoenix that she had heard what happened just now.
Although it was just a guess, Phoenix felt a little embarrassed at this moment.
"Nicole, you're so annoying."
"Phoenix, you're not pleasing either."
The two women were wrestling with each other like crazy. At first, they had some impressive moves,
but then they started to fight like children, grabbing each other's hair and pinching each other's arms.
At this moment, Phoenix was not a princess, and Nicole was not a young lady. The two fought like
ordinary women.
After a long time, both of them were exhausted and lay on the floor.
Phoenix looked at Nicole's messy hair and felt a little more at ease.
Nicole was a little depressed. She actually didn't defeat Phoenix. This woman was quite capable.
"No wonder you dare to covet my husband. Looks like you have some abilities."
Nicole gasped and looked at Phoenix with a trace of admiration.
Seeing admiration in Nicole's eyes was something that Phoenix did not expect. She was stunned for a
moment before realizing that Nicole was not as weak as she thought. She was fierce enough, however,
her stamina...
She said somewhat disdainfully, "Mr. Green's teachings are in vain. Your body is too weak."
"There's nothing I can do."
Nicole shrugged indifferently and didn't say anything else.
Some things should just be kept between her and Samuel, but it didn't matter if she told them to others.
"Get up and drink with me."
Phoenix kicked Nicole.
Nicole said angrily, "Do you believe that I will tell Samuel that you bullied me?"
"Is that all you can do? Complain like a child as an adult?"
"This is better than doing nothing."
Nicole showed off.
The corner of Phoenix's mouth twitched as she felt that Nicole was simply pushing her luck.
"Will you drink or not?"
"Why not, since it is free?"
Nicole got up and sat down at the table.
Phoenix took out two goblets and poured them two glasses of wine. After that, she was somewhat
dissatisfied, but she gave up and said, "To you, Mrs. Green."
This address immediately made Nicole grin wildly, and Phoenix found it unpleasant.
"I'm warning you, don't go too far. Although I've accepted you, I didn't say that I would give up my
feelings for Mr. Green."
"Why are you such a woman?"
Nicole was depressed.
She felt that the wine in her hand no longer smelt good.
Seeing that Nicole was depressed, Phoenix felt much better.
"Don't think that fighting would make me feel good. I promised to protect you here, but I didn't say that I
would give up on Mr. Green."
"That depends on your ability. If you're not afraid of being overwhelmed by our PDA, you can just
wander around in front of us as you wish."
Nicole was at odds with Phoenix.
Phoenix was speechless.
"Does Mr. Green know you're such a rascal?"
"Of course he knows, but he likes it. So what?"
Nicole raised her head. Phoenix wanted to punch her again upon seeing her smug face.
"Shameless."
"Thank you for the compliment."
Nicole picked up her goblet and took a sip. The pain in her body was alleviated a lot.
Samuel rarely let her drink wine since she was in poor health. Now, in this cold country, drinking some
wine was really good.
Phoenix saw that when Nicole was carefully drinking the wine, she looked noble and elegant. Without
her personal prejudices, she found that Nicole was a good person.
Although she didn't agree with this idea, she had to say that she was no match for Nicole in some
aspects.
"Hey, what did you plan to do to me?"
Nicole was a little curious.
Although she already knew that Phoenix would not give up the chance to frame herself at the banquet,
she did not expect that she would cancel the plan.
Phoenix frowned slightly, not wanting to say anything about this. She seemed to be reminding herself
of how despicable Nicole was.
"Why should I tell you?"
"If you don't tell me, then I don't want to know. But can you tell me why you like my husband?"
Nicole intentionally brought up this topic.
The word "husband" depressed Phoenix a little.
"Can we just drink and not talk?"
"That will be so boring. Will that mean pure drinking?"
"I was about to have it. Do you think I should celebrate on my broken heart?"
Phoenix felt that she and Nicole were at odds. She could not get fond of her no matter how she tried.
But Nicole said naturally, "Have you ever been in love? At best, you had a secret love. Without my
husband's cooperation, that's not called love."
"Nicole!"
Phoenix stood up, but when she heard footsteps, she frowned slightly and subconsciously pushed
Nicole to the room behind her, closing the door.
