Wang Xia collapsed on her knees when she was finally pulled in. She held her chest, tears pouring out like a waterfall.
"I…I won't forgive you for this! Do you know who my father is!?"
Alix was barely paying any attention to her outburst as she thoughtfully held her chin.
"Are you listening to-"
"THAT FUCKING PIECE OF SHIT!!!"
Wang Xia stumbled back with the sudden roar of her fury, her back crashing against the wall. Sweat trickled down seeing the dark and brooding expression on her face that was culminating into sothing evil and unforgiving.
He went through this shit only so that he could force into eting him?
"Is he nuts!?" She poured the weight of her anger onto the table.
What the hell…
Who will bring himself amidst a controversy of a criminal case just to et soone?
And here everybody is worried sick about his reputation but it turned out that he had planned everything in the first place?
Wang Xia paled when Alix burst into a sudden peal of a crazy laughter.
"Maniac…She is really a maniac…She was so angry at first and now she is suddenly laughing."
Alix's eyes narrowed as she suddenly shot it towards her, making her press her back against the wall.
"St-Stay away from !"
"You know what to do now, right?"
She swallowed a gulp.
"But let still spell it out for you. You will obediently go to the cops and tell them the truth that you just told . Don't even bother adding your horror house worthy near-death experience. Your confession has nothing to do with ."
"Why should I listen to you! You and Liu Jin…You two destroyed and my career by supporting my sister-in-law! You made a fool out of and humiliated . I was supposed to beco the star model but you snatched it away from !"
"Didn't you and Kang Yuze ruin my beautiful dresses I had designed for you? So why am I being blad for your stupidity?"
She froze.
"Whatever. Just do what you are supposed to do. Don't try to play any tricks because you will be lying in a funeral casket if you do that," she smiled casually.
She bent towards her, making her gasp. But she patted her shoulders instead of danger alarms ringing left and right.
"My, my, you look so pale. Order sothing good. The bill's on ," Alix chuckled.
She stepped out of the room, stretching her arms in a happy mood.
"Well it doesn't matter anymore if Jin opens his mouth or not because she will. But even if she didn't then…"
Alix sneered, listening to Wang Xia's confession that she had been recording since the beginning.
"Leaking this recording wouldn't hurt. Though I will have to delete my references. What a pain…" she muttered.
Passing by the hotel's reception, she watched the news on the high-mounted LED television on the wall. The matter of Jin's case was flashing on every news channel with its court hearing date coming very close. It still wasn't too late to be settled outside of court if either Wang Xia withdrew her case or Jin contested her accusation which would gear up his lawyers in action.
"Heh. You thought you would be able to threaten ," she snorted. "I am in a different league altogether, Liu Jin, unlike the regular bugs like Wang Xia. Happy freedom."
—
The next day.
Alix quickly stepped out of the bathroom and grabbed her phone to check the latest news. She scrolled through the social dia outlets but didn't co across the explosive breaking news of Wang Xia's confession anywhere, nor regarding Jin's release. Her brows furrowed into a deep frown.
She jeered.
I guess she would only understand-
"Sis!!!"
Alix's brow twitched.
"Why can my mornings never be peaceful?"
But she noticed a different expression on her sister's face this ti, filled with horror and dread. Her eyes were close to tears and her body trembled hard.
"Did you watch a horror movie last night?"
"Sis…" her voice choked, unable to form words. "T-This ti I really didn't do anything wrong…"
"What are you talking about?"
Mui ran to her side and she shakily held her hand, tears rimming her eyes. "Sis, you know how our company soared after the fashion show, right? We got so many n-new clients who were lining up to order our designs. O-one such custor was a well-known French model, Alicia Faucher."
"So? Does she have any complaints?"
"C-complaint? She is about to file a case against Ren Designs. A fashion fiesta was organized in Paris and she was supposed to ramp walk as the star model wearing one of our limited edition designs, but I d-don't know how…a fashion disaster happened right before her turn to walk. T-thankfully it happened before her show but her managent said that they are going to sue us!"
"Calm down. There must be so misunderstanding."
"S-sis you are not understanding! Our market valuation has fallen overnight! We have lost millions since this news spread on social dia. L-look!"
She tremblingly showed the stock statistics on her phone, which displayed a huge, glaring red dive as opposed to the green upward trend until yesterday. Suddenly, millions were wiped out from their company.
"I-Investors are asking for their money back be-because they are linking this to our fashion show of four months ago where I-..." She bit her lip hard, "r-ruined your dresses. Wang Xia's na is also coming who ha-had to switch her designer at the last mont because of this accident. They are linking these two incidents and blaming irresponsibility on Ren designs since it happened twice now…"
Alix quickly checked the incident and squinted her eyes.
Mui blurted out. "I-I didn't do anything wrong this ti, sis! I wasn't lax anywhere and I personally check the stock. Tr-trust ! B-but now we are suddenly into debt and we cannot return their money at this ti b-but they are not listening. And then we will be getting a court notice soon. Sis...What will we do now? I really don't know this happened..."
Alix banded her phone back and pushed her out of her room. "I need to get ready."
"Huh? For what?"
"To visit the bureau again."
