The CEO's Woman

Queen Ah-Joong's eyes lit up as she started thinking of a way to kill her husband. Since Li Jun was so adamant about helping Jiang Yue, then she did not have any other choice but to kill him. Even the mere fact that he was helping that woman's daughter was already enough for Queen Ah-Joong to know that Li Jun had never even thought of her and her two sons.

She originally thought that Li Jun, at least, had some love for Carlisle. However, when Jiang Yue came as Long Die, Li Jun's temperament changed into someone very hateful. He even dared to raise his voice on her.

"I guess we need to make you the King as soon as possible." She interrupted her son.

"So, you mean...?" .

"Yes… we need to kill him."

"But mother… that is not possible. If we do that, then the whole Kim Family will…"

"Not if we pin the murder on Jiang Yue," she said, her eyes full of determination. The Li Family's reign needed to come to an end. And this was the only thing that she could do after Jiang Yue used their plans against them.

"But if we act now... It will not make any sense." Carlisle said.

"We will act after he announces that Jiang Yue is his successor. If I am right, then he will do that during the next Cabinet meeting." Queen Ah-Joong was actually talking about the meeting between the two families, which would usually take place once the King wanted to announce something important; like who would be the heir to the throne.

M Country's politics was extremely secretive. That was because of the threat that the Western countries posed to them. Both Li and Kim families had decided long ago to not reveal the true way they were choosing the next person to succeed the throne to eliminate the possibility of betrayal between friends.

Everyone knew how the leaders were decided by fighting and other gruesome competitions. Even some people from the human rights groups had questioned that way of choosing the next person to sit on the throne.

But no one knew the truth: it was all simply orchestrated by both families to avoid leaking the information about who the real heir was.

Every time the King chose an heir to enthrone after him, he would call a meeting, which involved the Grand Elders of both families, the Queen, and the possible heir.

Then, the King would tell everyone the reason he had chosen that particular person to succeed him. After that, everyone would vote to agree or disagree with his decision.

So the question was why did the Li Family always win despite the fact that there always were an equal number of elders from both Li and Kim families?

It was because no one actually knew the Grand Elders' identities. No one had ever seen their faces. No one knew their names. They were like random people, living in different parts of the world. It was arranged that way, so whoever was leading the country would not be able to affect them.

That was also the reason most Elders were not biased, and influencing on their decisions was not that easy.

"Mother, if Father dies… they will only have another meeting. They will not just directly choose me..." Carlisle said after a minute of thinking.

"You are wrong…" She answered while texting someone on her phone. "They won't have another choice. After we frame Jiang Yue for stealing our military secrets, Li Jun will try his best and protect her. If worse comes to worst, he will announce that she is the heir without the Grand Elders' approval."

"Then, it will be the right time for us to strike. Send a direct signal to Mr. Wu… tell him to order his minions to attack the transportation of Dongsu City… then, the electricity. This will cause panic and chaos."

"I'm sure, Li Jun won't be prepared enough to counter this," she added. "Then, we will find a way to poison him and frame Jiang Yue for that."

"By that time, everybody will assume that Jiang Yue already had a motive to kill him. After all, everything will already be announced. At that moment, you will need to show to everyone how capable you are by ending the attack and leading the military to arrest Jiang Yue. You must lead the investigation and pin the guilt on her. Then, everyone will applaud your wisdom and quick thinking."

Carlisle looked at his mother, his eyes full of praises. His mother's wisdom was just the best. "I understand, Mother. I will arrange everything with Mr. Wu… I'm sure that after this, that Jiang Yue will only have one way out; to go to jail and will end up dying from execution."

Both mother and son laughed at Carlisle's words. Yes, the punishment for killing the King was indeed death.

What they did not know was that Jiang Yue was recording everything that they were talking. Jiang Yue was just having a little rest from giving out supplies when she received a notification from Bai'Li who was listening to everything from out of the country.

She narrowed her eyes at the message before using her ear pods to listen to the recording on her phone.
