The CEO's Woman

"You…" Simon was speechless at Jiang Yue's declaration. Destroy the Kim Family? Was she… Was she planning to… use the space weapon to annihilate the Kim Family's estate from M Country's map? Wouldn't that… that would make the people blame the Li Family!

"Oi! Stop it!" He shouted before trying to choke Wang Ruo. "I will kill your mother if you don't stop!"

"You have already killed my husband… do you think I will care if you kill someone who has dared to leave me and has lied to me?" She smiled at him. She hoped that Simon would be dumb enough to believe her.

Both Wang Ruo and Simon were taken aback by Jiang Yue's words. Was Fu Jin really that important to her? If he was, then… was it possible that she had gone crazy at that moment?

Losing Fu Jin, would not have made her lose her mind, right? Simon blinked his eyes at Jiang Yue, wanting to assess her next moves. After all, if she became, it would be determined by the look in her eyes.

"Oh… where are my manners? Let me show you what I am going to do." Jiang Yue said before the large TV screen in the bunker suddenly turned on. It showed what seemed to be a large map.. Simon instantly paled when he saw that it was the map of M Country.

"This, right here, is the Kim Family's estate. Do you see that?" Jiang Yue said while pointing at the place with the red dot. "The target had been set, even before I noticed Li Qiang's men inside this room," she said.

"Now... Now… Let me show you the proof that I can obliterate this country in a blink if I want to!" Jiang Yue said as a murderous aura slowly oozed out of her.

"Stop! Stop! I believe you! I believe you!"

"Too late... Mr… Doctor." She did not even glance at him, her eyes were focused on the monitor in front of them. "Your Li Family were too presumptuous to assume that you can control me! You dared to threaten me with my loved ones! You dared to try and attack my husband! You must have forgotten that I am a Li, and moreover, a Vercello." She slowly turned her head towards him. "I will not hesitate to kill anybody who dares to hurt the people I love."

Simon felt Jiang Yue's words echo inside his head as he watched the countdown turn to zero and the red dot became bigger and bigger on the monitor.

Then, the palace shook as the red dot vanished on the monitor.

Simon felt like a bucket of cold water was poured on his whole being. He watched in horror as Jiang Yue showed him the enlarged picture from the satellite. It was a picture of a wildly raging fire, rapidly destroying the mansion.

"Would you like to hear their screams as well?" He heard Jiang Yue's voice as he felt his body lose strength. The proof was already in front of him. Jiang Yue was indeed capable of destroying the Li Family.

The moment Simon lost his grip, Wang Ruo immediately ran towards the unconscious Li Qiang and felt his pulse. She then heaved a sigh of relief upon knowing that he was still alive.

"His breathing is so shallow. We need a doctor. We need to get out of this place." She said before turning to Jiang Yue, her eyes were begging.

"Mother." Jiang Yue met her eyes. "I am not a saint myself, but… this is your fault." She bluntly said. "You were a coward. You chose to abandon everyone who cared about you because of fear. Although I understand that you were also trying to protect me, that will not erase the fact that what you have done is reckless and irresponsible."

"I want you to promise me…" she said, her gaze never leaving her mother's eyes. "I want you to fix this thing with Li Qiang and father. Stop running away from your responsibilities!"

Wang Ruo was speechless at her daughter's words. However, it did not mean that she did not agree with her. Everything indeed happened because of her. She was a coward, irresponsible, a heartless b*tch!

"Mom… please stop this self-pity and self-blame." Jiang Yue interrupted her thoughts while eyeing the pale Simon. "Promise me, and I will let you out with Li Qiang."

"Yue'er, I…" Wang Ruo hesitated, though Jiang Yue wanted her to fix Li Qiang and Li Jun's problems, she did not mention about the death of the kids. Did that mean that Jiang Yue would not forgive her because of what she had done? Would she abandon her after she fixed the problem with Li Qiang? Would she hate her?

Jiang Yue stared at her mother's changing expression. "I already knew about the kids, even before I came to the palace." She blurted out as if she was able to read her mother's thoughts. In fact, Jiang Yue was able to guess what was her mother thinking because initially, it was the cause of that accident. "I know you did not mean it," she said, her gaze turning gentle. Her mother might have made some seriously questionable decisions but she was still her mother.

Wang Ruo's face seemed to brighten when she heard Jiang Yue's words. Then, she slowly nodded her head, embarrassment lacing her face. Who wouldn't feel embarrassed about that kind of things? She was the adult here, yet, her daughter was the one who was mature enough to think about everything properly.

Jiang Yue also nodded at her mother. "Now go. Leave this place. If I am right… then…" Jiang Yue hesitated… although she was not yet sure… "then, Fu Jin and his men will be waiting for you outside. Tell him I'm safe."

She then turned her attention towards Simon. Her gaze instantly turning cold. "I still have some things to settle with the Li Family."

Wang Ruo looked at her daughter before letting out a sigh of relief. Seeing Jiang Yue open the door of the bunker, she immediately tried to lessen the blood flow from Li Qiang's wound and help him out of the bunker.

"Now... Now… Mr. Simon." Jiang Yue started. "Let me start this by telling you something important."

"I am already my husband's Queen. I don't need to be the Queen of this country just to prove that I am indeed very capable." She smiled.

"Mr. Simon… you and the Li Family have misjudged me."

"I am not a damsel in need of her knight. I am a Queen. The type of a Queen who can declare war without the help of her King."

Jiang Yue's words seemed to wake up Simon from his stupor. He stared at Jiang Yue's smiling face as fear started climbing through his heart. This woman… This woman was an epitome of a true Queen. Too bad they were extremely blind to offend her. Now… with the weapon in Jiang Yue's hands, he and the Li Family could only watch as she would be wreaking havoc in the country that they love the most.
