The Villain's Wife

Chapter 565 Men!

Mainland China

After a few days of waiting, Chen Shi finally received the news that she wanted about her husband. And just as she expected, he was indeed seeing another woman- a younger, more beautiful one.

She clenched her fist, unable to hide the anger in her eyes. How could he be this dumb and let her catch him? Chen Shi was not upset that her husband had cheated on her! She was more upset that she caught him!

If Chen Shi can do it, she was sure that the paparazzi could do it too! Wouldn't this ruin the perfect marriage that they had been portraying in the media?

"Shall I go ahead and call him?" Chen Luan's voice brought her back from her stupor.

"No!" she gritted her teeth. "No… I don't want to talk to him." If Tony Zhang wanted to play like this, then she won't have any other choice but to pretend not to know anything. Since her husband is too stupid… then she could only make the public think that she is a victim. Someone who had been fooled by her own husband.

This will only give her more benefits during the divorce.

"We have a lot of things to do. Don't even mention that man again." She hissed and stump into her leather chair. To her, a man like this is not worth keeping. No�� is there really a man worth keeping?

Memories of her sad aunt resurfaced in her mind. That old man Lee was the reason why her aunt died. He just like every other man is heartless! She gritted her teeth and close her eyes. She tried to calm herself.

"For the second night in a row, our props had been ruin by random gangs." Chen Luan gave her a folder full of photos. "We tried to report this to the police. But it can't seem to identify the gang members from the CCTV. Maybe they were just having fun and…"

"Having fun? For two nights straight?" She sneered. "Double the security in the taping's location. If you were able to capture one of these… these nasty men don't report it to the police and keep him for interrogation." He uttered. 

"Understood."

"You also said something about one of our singer's image that was sent in the email?" Chen Shi was too busy being angry that she had wasted a lot of time away from her business.

"Hmmm… here is the image." Chen Luan handed her a large photo of one of the male idols working under their recording company. She narrowed her eyes at the photo. "Cocaine?"

"Seemed like it. We have a total of five photos like this. Different locations but all of them showed that he is trying to sniff something."

"Stupid!" Chen Shi threw the photo away. "STUPID! How could he let the media caught him!?" Her chest raised as she balled her hand into a fist. "Did the email said anything else? Money? Did they demand some money?"

"Unfortunately not. The email didn't have anything else. I also tried to ask our people to check the IP address, but it was routed to one of the computers in our office. I checked the CCTV and discovered that no one was there when the email was sent."

"A hacker?"

"Possibly. We don't know yet." Chen Luan said. His statement immediately made Chen Shi scowl.

"Go and asked that man if he offended someone lately. Maybe a politician. Did he decline someone's request? I want to know his schedule in the past few weeks." Things like this are normal in the entertainment world. "This is the reason why they should not offend the wrong person and should always know their place." She uttered.

"Did you receive any news from Ron?" All the problems lately had been causing her headache.

"He said… Jun Liang did not tell him Miss Demi's location."

"Then schedule a meeting with Jun Liang! That old man must have forgotten about our past." She narrowed her eyes before she started massaging her temple.

Men!

Men!

Men!

Men are the root cause of all her problems right now! And she hated it! She hated feeling this angry over someone insignificant. She hated how she could not just throw an object to someone else's head and risk showing her real personality to someone. She, Chen Shi, hated men!

Chen Shi gritted her teeth. If she wanted to scheme against Lily, she needed to make sure that Demi is safe beside her. She could not risk it. As a mother, she would never risk the safety of her only daughter. "Inform Ron that he can come to China as soon as he can. He needed to lie low." She added. 

"Understood." Chen Luan nodded.

......…

The Peak, Hong Kong

Unfortunately… Chen Shi's plans are already ruined before it even started.

"Really?" Lily's lips lifted into a smile as she held the phone closer to her ears. "So you… wanted to give Demi to me?" Jun Liang let out a sigh on the other line. 

"Do I have a choice?" he asked. "Lily… I have been betrayed by my own brother. They must have been laughing at me for raising a child that is not even my own."

"Then… no worries. I will ask my people to come and get her. Then… I will transfer her to a secure facility that will of course help her mental illness."

"Just… Just promise me you won't hurt her." Jun Liang's words contained a hint of sadness. For years, he treated Demi like a daughter. He loved her, showered her with presents. True, he was not there when she grew up and this had contributed to her current mental state. However, this does not mean that he would let someone hurt her.

The only reason why he would ask Lily to take care of Demi is that he had a feeling that Chen Shi will talk to him soon. He only wanted to put Demi in a safe place. Something that even he doesn't know. He wanted to keep her safe.

"Depends." Lily's answer instantly made him a little depressed. But he already expected this.

"I understand." He uttered, his voice low. Lily and Chen Shi are both monsters. However… between the two, he would rather trust a stranger like Lily than a treacherous woman like Chen Shi.
