The CEO's Woman

Peter only scoffed at his wife's words. He did not expect this side of Mia. He knows that she is vicious and narrow-minded, yet, this is the first time that he saw this side of her. A woman's worst trait is her insecurity and jealousy. He always knew that his wife was petty and easily gets jealous, but this is the first time that he was able to witness her flipping out because of a woman.

"Shut your mouth!" Nico chastised his granddaughter when he noticed the disgust in Peter's eyes. "You are always thinking about Jiang Yue stealing your husband! Why can't you think about the current issue that we are facing right now?"

"Grandfather!" she stared unbelievably as her grandfather. When was the last time that her grandfather scolded her? Never! He never raised his voice at her nor speaks at her this way! Surely, this is because of Jiang Yue's appearance.

Mia is already hell-bent on blaming Jiang Yue for everything. After all, everything started after she showed up in Emerald Country.

"Both of you shut your mouth," Peter said.. "We just lost Hundreds of Millions worth of shipments."

"What?" both Mia and her grandfather blurted at the same time.

"What do you mean by lost? Did someone rob us? Did someone steal it?" Nico asked. Nico had been around with the Pardi family for so long now, he naturally knew what Peter was talking about.

"It disappeared in the ocean. We lost track of the shipments and can't find the ships that transported them." Peter answered before switching his gaze from the old man to his wife. "You go home. I will go talk to my uncle."

"I want to go with you."

"What for?" Peter countered.

Mia's was caught off guard at her husband's question. What for? What does he mean by this? "Peter, I am your wife. I am a Pardi. I will go and see uncle and Natalie to give my support."This is the only reason that Mia could find right now. What for? Of course, she wanted to sow more discord between Antonio and Jiang Yue.

It would even be best if she could say something bad about Jiang Yue and make her suspicious about this matter in front of the Elders.

But what kind of person was her husband? The moment Mia asked to come with him, he already guessed her intentions. "You cannot go." He answered directly. He already had his eyes on Jiang Yue. He could not permit this woman to create more trouble for Jiang Yue and attract the protection of the Elders.

If Mia wanted to destroy Jiang Yue, then she should only use her own capabilities to do this. And not rely on the Vercello Family.

"But Peter…"

"No buts… If you want, go with your grandfather in his Villa, help him with the aftermath of the attack," he said, his voice contains finality.

...

After dropping off both Nico and Mia, Peter immediately went towards the Vercello Family's ancestral house to discuss the issue with his uncle.

Meanwhile, Jiang Yue was looking a little gloomy after Mr. Petrov left. He was expecting the latter to introduce himself as her father, but it did not happen. Though the atmosphere changed after he received the call, the latter did not really talk anything else other than business. She can't help but doubt her primary analysis of the man. Was he not her father after all?

"Are you okay?" Fu Jin asked.

"Yes. I was just a little disappointed. I guess, our plan failed… huh," she answered.

"Not necessarily. I still think he is your father, but he cannot say it right now."

"Why?" Jiang Yue thought out loud before falling into silence.

'Do not trust anyone.'

She can't help but recall those words over and over again. She also recalled her mother saying that someone betrayed her. Though Wang Ruo talked about her past to Jiang Yue, she never mentioned this betrayal part again. Was that also a lie?

Jiang Yue can't stop herself from over thinking about the current situation. What if Li Jun can't say it right now because someone did betray them before? What if it was someone close to Jiang Yue?

She shook her head at her current thoughts. This is crazy. She really should stop overthinking things.

"Young Miss," Bei Ye's voice woke her up from her stupor. "Bai'Li said that he had already checked the satellites. He confirmed that all evidence about what happened tonight had been deleted."

"Hmmm." Jiang Yue nodded. "How're our men?"

"We have no fatalities, but we have seven people who suffered some bullet wounds on various parts of their body. It was already taken cared of."

"Good. Make sure to prepare everyone. We are expecting some retaliation from both the Vercello's and the Ruiz Family." It was Fu Jin. Using force in establishing their status in Emerald Country was Jiang Yue's idea. The results might have been exemplary, but it also attracts endless trouble from the people that they offended. Especially the Ruiz Family who was almost left with nothing after the robbery.

"The Ruiz family will launch an attack as soon as possible. But the Vercello's won't. They will suspect me. But they cannot confirm it." Jiang Yue said before turning her head towards Bei Ye. "You can go now."

After making sure that Bei Ye already left, Fu Jin asked. "What are you planning to do?"

"The Vercello's will invite me soon." Jiang Yue said.

"And?"

"Well… the Vercello's had been spreading their evil claws for so long… They needed to be destroyed."

"I did not expect to see you being hell bent of justice one day." Fu Jin smiled.

"Justice? This is not about that. I don't want the Vercello's to continue suppressing my love life. I can't hide you as my consort forever, can I?"

"Your Highness is wise." Fu Jin said, before giving her wife a kiss. A playful and loving ambiance instantly envelops the whole room. "How about visiting my chambers tonight so I can serve your highness properly?"
