The Villain's Redemption

After the incident, Mo Li received a lot of phone calls from both his father and mother. Even the board of directors called him overnight. However, this wasn't enough. What made Bella more irritated is the fact that the media is starting to call her too. She actually had no option but to turn her phone off.

Mo Li's resignation was a bit shocking. After all, this is akin to a silent declaration that Mo Li and the Mo Family were the people who released the news to the media. The next day, the stocks Mo Li's company dropped. It was too sudden and fierce that the possibility of facing bankruptcy became possible.

Of course, this made the real villain ecstatic. Daniel Rogers was currently having breakfast with his beloved. He hummed a tune Sarah wasn't very familiar with.

"You seemed to be in a very good mood?"

"I am in a good mood today." Daniel was smiling. He never expected his plan to become this successful. He already expected Mo Li to become implicated, but he never thought that he would willingly abandon his company! Surely, he would also abandon the person who caused the scandal, right?

"I am going to buy some things today. I will use your card." Sarah smiled.

"Alright, just buy whatever you want. I already told you to use it all the time. Why don't you buy yourself some clothes and make-up too? I heard there are newly released limited-edition bags. It's made of crocodile skin. You should get yourself one. Add it to your collection. I can make some calls and— "

"It's fine." Sarah smiled before she finished her milk. "You know I don't like these things too much." Daniel always liked her to dress in expensive clothes and own limited edition bags. Since she doesn't like shopping, Daniel would always buy her these things on his own. The collection that he was talking about were just bags that he gifted her. All of them were expensive bags worth millions of money,

After her breakfast, Sarah along with her security went to the nearest mall. Unbeknownst to her, the moment she took a step outside of the mansion, Bella immediately called Gabriel for a meeting.

"You wanted me to support Gabriel?" Mo Li asked, surprised. "Why?"

"Let's make him deal with Daniel. It would be easier that way." Bella smiled. Using the male lead to deal with the villain is always the right way to do things. "Gabriel is already starting to build his reputation. He is an excellent lawyer. It would be easier for him to win."

"So? What are you planning to do now?" He asked. Bella stared at him for a few minutes.

"Make him reconcile with Sarah."

"How?"

"This matter is really simple. Their misunderstanding was truly big. Let's trap them inside an elevator or kidnapped them."

Mo Li fought the urge to laugh out loud. She is starting to show her real self! That manipulative, scheming, cunning, and evil self. "Alright," he smiled.

"You will help me?"

"If I won't help you, I am sure that you will kidnap them on your own."

Bella smiled. "Why does it seem like you can read my thoughts? But since you already said you will help me. Then I won't be polite. "I want you to kidnap me, my sister, and Gabriel."

"You wanted to — No. No can do. If I — " Mo Li didn't continue saying his thoughts before he smiled and nodded. "Are you going to be alright?" This woman should have some way to protect herself. In fact, he trusted her too much, he knew that she wasn't the type that would put herself in harm's way.

"Of course, just arrange everything. Make them slap me once, then make them leave the country."

"How could I let them hurt my wife?" Of course, he already knew the answer to this question. Hurting her would lessen the possibility of her being the suspect. A sigh escaped his lips. For the sake of her mission, she is willing to do everything. "I will take care of everything."

"I will call Sarah today. I will schedule a meeting."

"Then I will make it look like she was the target, and you were only included. Gabriel will be there walking when he saw you two being taken, so he tried to help. In the end, they will take him too."

Bella smiled at her husband. Who would have thought that this would help her out without even asking questions? 'Hey, system, be honest with me. This man… did you send this man here to help me out?' she asked Bee. As usual, she didn't receive any response. Bella continued smiling as they planned everything. Then she called Sarah and asked for a meeting.

Of course, her sister immediately agreed. At the same time, Mo Li also scheduled a meeting with Gabriel. With Mo Li's money and Bella's mind, the scheme was quickly arranged.

Slowly, days passed and the issue between Mo Li and his family slowly died down.

However, another good news suddenly arrived today. It was the notification that she completed another quest!

[Side Quest: Make Mo Family hate Liu Cheng'er. Reward: 50 Coins. Completed.]

On that same day, Mo Li's father visited them at their house. Bella just woke up. In the afternoon, she was scheduled to have a coffee with the female lead and this day would be the day that they will be kidnapped. She immediately took a bath and was surprised to know that Mo Li's father is having coffee with his father in the living room.

"Good morning," Bella smiled at Mo Li. "I have an appointment in the afternoon and there is something that I needed to attend tomorrow morning." To keep the cover-up, Bella has scheduled a lot of activities lately. She had been attending seminars, talking to her financial brokers about her investments, and even attended a fashion show.

"Ehem," Old Man Mo cleared his throat when he noticed Mo Li started ignoring him and talked to Bella. "You can't even greet your father-in-law? Is this how the Qin family raised their kids?"

"Yes," Bella answered without batting an eyelid. To be honest, the Qin Family raised Bella Qin like this. "I will leave first," she didn't give the old man the time to respond as she walked towards their room.

"Very good! Your wife is really something! She had been disrespecting the family since she became your wife! Mo Li! How could you marry a woman like this?"

"Did you want me to marry someone like Liu Cheng'er instead?" Mo Li asked, sarcasm apparent in his tone. When he saw her father's face darkened, he chuckled and added, "I heard Grandma and mother already cut ties with Liu Cheng'er. Did they finally realized that the woman is nothing but a wolf in sheep's clothing?"

"Don't blame your mother and grandmother. They were only blinded by that woman's acting."

Mo Li took a sip of his coffee. "I am not planning to run for mayor nor take the company back."

"You — " Old Man Mo's face turned red, he swallowed the anger building inside him. "You have to think about this. We already worked too hard to build your reputation. How could you give up just because of one scandal?" In his mind, he was already cursing Liu Cheng'er to death. Jealousy got the best of her and she tried to frame Bella so she could have Mo Li back! In the end, the Mo Family suffered because of her jealousy.

"I already decided. I am now working on selling my properties. Even without the company, I will still have a good life with my wife. We are planning to travel the world very soon."

"You — You really have no ambition!? Politics is— "

"Politics is dangerous." Mo Li said. He already has everything that he needed right now, there is no need to complicate his life anymore.

"I have a scheduled press conference later in the afternoon. I am sure you already heard that. I will put all the blame on Liu Cheng'er and announce that I am filing a case against her. If that— "

"I am not going to attend. I have an appointment."

His father gritted his teeth. "Mo Li! I didn't have anything to do with the leak! It was all Liu Cheng'er's fault! Her jealous heart got the best of her!"

"Stop putting all the blame on her, father. We all know that you and the governor are not exactly friends. You have been asking me to run for the mayor so you can run against him! Isn't that right?" Mo Li snorted. "I am done letting you rule my life." He uttered. The only reason why he let this man rule his life is that he needed to bring the Mo Family down.

"You — " The old man squinted his eyes. "I will give you some time to think about this. I already said I am putting all the blame on Liu Cheng'er. Our Mo Family is not involved in all this! I hope next time you will change your decision!" With this, the old man left the house. When he was already in the car, he instructed his driver to take him home before he dialed a number. "Hey, I want you to take care of someone. Yes… Her name is Bella… Bella Qin."
