Master's Untamed Wife

Although Cloe often did think in a casual way and spoke too carelessly, however, one couldn't overlook her capabilities. After all, if she managed to promote from an assistant to the VP, she must have some ability to get that position. 

When Cloe first joined Raelle at work, she was indeed a little lost in life. She just had gone through a breakup and it left her exhausted. But she learned to grow when she watched someone like Raelle who was so young and yet held authority and power. 

Cloe often cursed Raelle for being harsh but she also admired her Chief a lot. And she never even realized when her admiration allowed her to actually absorb Raelle's aura. She could get really overbearing when Raelle wasn't around. But with her Chief around, Cloe was like a little lamb. She only bared her teeth when Raelle wasn't around her.

Currently, the situation demanded her to act overbearing. And she did it! 

And her powerful aura was really too much for both Sora and Amiah. 

Amiah's fists clenched in anger as she glared at Cloe, "Don't be so arrogant! You don't know who I am!"

Cloe's treacherous smile was still lingering on her face, "Do I look scared?" She stepped so close to Amiah that the latter felt suffocated with her overwhelming presence, "You might have a Princess Syndrome but I'm here on Queen's orders." She pretended to dust off the dirt from Amiah's shoulder as she added in a low voice, "Believe it or not, people do kneel before my Queen."

With Cloe's personality and way of doing things, it was obvious that she'd have gotten all the details regarding these women around her. Her information network was wide and adding on the power of Xiang Conglomerate behind her, it was way too easy to get any information that she needed.

The reason why she said Amiah had a Princess Syndrome was that she truly believed it. After she learned the details about her, she was certain that was the best way to describe Amiah's condition.

Cloe had turned to Sora as she said, "Tell your uncle, he'll be getting a surprise on Monday. And he should thank his daughter, Xu Hua for that."

Sora felt a chill run down her spine because of Cloe's tone. She could tell that was a blatant declaration of war. There was no other way to define it. She could already tell Cloe wasn't a simple character and that meant, her distant uncle was about to pay the price of his daughter's foolishness.

As Cloe turned to leave, Amiah said from behind, "I take your challenge." Cloe turned her head and her brow quirked up. "You can try all you want, I'll prove you wrong. Now, this movie is my stubbornness as well. I'll get it to screen. Let me see what you can do!"

Cloe laughed at her provocation, "Are you a teenager? You're really impulsive and also have an explosive temper. My Chief would have fired you long ago if you had worked for her." She tsked. "But working with my Chief also needs some talent that you don't have."

"You don't need to attack me personally! Just show me what you can do!"

Cloe smirked at her and put her sunglasses on before saying, "You both are welcome to make a call to your brothers for help. Let's see whether I win, or your stubbornness wins."

Cloe had already walked out the door and closed the door behind her when Amiah threw a cushion at the door. She was frustrated and angry because of Cloe's attitude towards her. She had never been treated like that even when she was just a rookie director. But Cloe dared to not only insult her but also threatened her. She couldn't take it lying down!

Sora ran out the door while Amiah picked up her phone to make a call.

"Miss Jones!" 

Hearing that voice, Cloe turned around to look at Sora who had come after her. 

"Is there anything I didn't make clear to you?"

Sora shook her head, "It's not that. I know you're angry because of the accident with Hyson. I'm truly sorry for that."

Cloe scoffed at that, "Your apology won't change anything though. According to what I heard, Hyson only joined this crew because of you, Miss Sora."

Sora had been mulling in guilt since last night. She bit her lip and asked, "Can you tell me where Hyson is? I mean, which hospital is it? I want to visit him." She looked at Cloe's eyes and hurriedly added, "You don't have to worry about anything. I won't talk to him about the situation here. I just really want to see if he is okay."

Cloe didn't make it difficult for this writer who actually had a rather simple character than most people. Sora was happy to learn about the hospital and repeatedly thanked Cloe. Then she turned around and called her brother, "Bro, tell Uncle Xu to take care of his daughter! And if he comes to you to ask for help on Monday, don't pay attention. I don't want such relatives anymore!" Before her brother could even ask what happened, she had already hung up the phone.

Sora was just that kind of a decisive person. She always knew where to draw the line. She already didn't like these relatives who only knew how to scheme, manipulate and take advantage. She definitely didn't want to allow Xu Hua to join the crew as Amiah's assistant but that cousin insisted on how much she admired Director Jade and wanted to get this rare chance to work with her. Because of how they manipulated her emotions, she had allowed her to join them but the result? Now, she was the one thrown in hell!

....

On the other side, Shui Xian was lazing around in the lounge when his phone rang. But since the phone was far and he didn't feel like getting up, he didn't plan to take the call.

Raelle came with some documents in her hand and her eyes fell on the phone ringing.

"Hubby, your phone is ringing."

"I know," replied Shui Xian. "But I don't want to get up. Who is calling?"

Raelle looked at the called id and replied, "Your sister is calling."

"Then let it ring. She will stop calling when she will get tired."

Raelle instead of following his words picked up his phone and passed it to him saying, "I think, you should take this call today."

Shui Xian looked up at Raelle and asked, "Why?"

"Just take it," answered Raelle and didn't explain herself. 

However, Shui Xian's heart already had a hunch. He took the call and asked, "What is it?"

"Ge, I need your help!"

Shui Xian looked at Raelle who was skimming through documents as she trotted towards the study and asked, "What did you do now?"

"What do you mean by what did I do?" came the response from the other side. "Why don't you ask what happened to me?"

"Okay. Then tell me, what happened to you?"

"Someone threatened me today and insulted me as well!"

"Oh!" was the only response of Shui Xian.

"Oh?" repeated his sister from the other side. "That's all you've got to say?"

"What else do you want me to say? Or should I ask, what do you want me to do for you?"

"I want you to help me deal with that person obviously! Will you let just anyone insult your sister? Last time, your wife insulted me, and now this. Are you really not gonna do something for me?"

Shui Xian rubbed his forehead as he asked, "Tell me the name of the person who insulted you."

His sister felt relieved when she heard that. She knew her brother couldn't be this indifferent towards her grievance. He'd make anyone pay for hurting her. He had always protected her, how could he not do it this time?

"Her name is Cloe Jones. That's all I know about her."

Shui Xian paused and looked towards the closed door of the study before closing his eyes. His hunch turned out to be right. No wonder Raelle insisted he takes the call.

He took a deep breath and answered, "I won't be able to help you then."

"What?!"

"I said I can't help you."

"Ge! I'm your sister!"

Shui Xian chuckled softly, "I really can't understand you, Xiao Sying. When you left home, you insisted on changing your name and removed everything that could link your name with Bà. That's why you're called Amiah Jade now. And as Amiah Jade, you have nothing to do with Shui Family. Walking out of our lives, you said you'll never ask for anything from our father."

She clenched her jaw as she replied, "I'm asking you for help. Not your father."

"It's funny that you think whatever I have is because of me. What I have today is all because of Bà. I am nothing without my father. He is the reason why I exist. But you're not ready for that discussion." He took a pause and went on, "Let me clear something for you, you asked for my help, I rejected you. First, because I don't want to help you this time. Second, even if I want to I won't be able to help you. You offended the wrong person this time."

"Ge!"

"This is why I used to warn you to be careful of your attitude. There are some people I can deal with as your brother but there are other people I can't go against as well."
