The Villain’s Wife 471 A Worthy Rival
"You — " Isaac tried to keep his rage in checked, but it was not working. He had never seen soone as irritating and arrogant as the woman in front of him. "How dare you!?"
"Are you saying that I am wrong?" The smile on Lily’s face did not disappear. Seeing Isaac’s ugly scowl only made her smile more brilliant.
"This is the reason why I would never approve of you as my grandson’s wife!"
Lily snorted in response. "What makes you think that you have a say in his life? Did you think... seeing him for the first ti would give you the right to dictate him? Fool." She sneered. Seeing Isaac’s face turned purple, Lily shifted her eyes at the silent attendant. "Bring in the entertainers. I’m sure everyone would love to enjoy so music as we continue talking about being virtuous and marriage." She would like to enjoy the show as much as possible and wait until the fish will take their bait.
"What a disrespectful woman. He is your husband’s grandfather. Can’t you at least respect him?" Adrian decided to speak his mind as Lily was really making his blood boil in anger. Adrian grew up in a place where won always follow the words of their n. This has been embedded in his brain since he was a child.
How could Adrian stand the presence of a woman like Lily?
He opened his mouth to say sothing, only to stop when he saw the entertainers co inside. Everyone eyed the n bringing various types of equipnt for their performance. Not long after, Zhou Jingren strode inside. He sat next to Lily.
"I have an ergency eting with my subordinates. I have to go back to my hotel." His face was stern.
"Is everything all right?" Lily asked.
"Yes. We ran into a small problem and I have to inform the executives about it. Don’t worry too much. I will co and get you later once the dinner is done." He eyed everyone and bid them his goodbye as well.
A cunning smile escaped Isaac’s lips as he t Thomas’ eyes. The smile left his face was quickly as it arrived. He turned back to his stern expression as he tried to show so concern towards Zhou Jingren. Unbeknownst to him and Thomas, Lily was observing their expression like an eagle observing her prey.
"Please enjoy the entertainnt. I am taking going to call soone." Lily uttered. His gaze lingered at the old man before she stood and walked towards the terrace of the restaurant. She then opened her phone and as expected, Zhou Jingren sent her a text about the fish biting the bait.
Lily pretended to call soone. She dialed Yang Mi’s number and asked her to help out Secretary Go with whatever problem that the Zhou Capital is currently facing. She also inford her to talk to Qin Yuanfeng and try to convince him to help them. After all, he is an expert on computers.
"You know, he hates won like you."
Lily turned to face the woman speaking to her. She quickly bid Yang Mi goodbye and smiled at Demi. She is already expecting the latter to follow her out. "And that is supposed to bother ?" she asked.
"He is the grandfather of your husband. Once he earns the respect of your husband, Zhou Jingren will surely make him a priority. We always value filial piety and I’m sure Zhou Jingren is like that too. I am sure you are already aware of that." Demi said. The ekness that she showed earlier was gonee. She t Lily’s eyes and gave her a mocking smile. "Showing your true colors will get you nowhere. Sotis you have to soften yourself and adjust. Blend in. You are too brilliant for them to like you."
Lily snorted. "Do I look like soone that would beg people to like , Miss Liang?"
"You have a point." Demi nodded. "But this is a world ruled by n. If you want sothing... you should learn how to stroke their egos." Seeing Lily stare at her, she added. "As you can see... I can have whatever I want because I am smart enough to blend in. His grandfather like and I will slowly work my way inside his mother’s heart."
"Since his grandfather likes you so much... why don’t you just marry the old man, instead? I an..." Lily covered her mouth as she laughed. "It would suit you. Staying at ho, taking care of an old and rich husband, suits you."
"I see..." Demi nodded. "I can see that you do not see as a threat." Seeing Lily mocked her like this is just too infuriating. Demi had the urge to slap her, but she would not go that low. "Beware Miss Lily... I am a very persistent person. He might not like now... but the world is round. I won’t just give up and let you win without a fight. Do not underestimate a woman like , Miss Lily. I am a worthy rival."
"Delusional," Luly uttered. "Did a donkey hit your head? A rival? Really?" She snorted. "I don’t even consider you as my equal. What makes you think that you qualify as my rival?"
"Rival ans having a competition." Slowly, Lily’s lips lifted into a smile as her eyes trailed down towards Demi’s dress, then back into her face. "There is no competition, here."
"How arrogant," Demi sneered before she looked behind Lily’s back. As if on cue, tears imdiately started falling in her eyes. "Miss Lily, you are ruthless. I did nothing to offend you! I only wanted to know you better."
Lily turned her head and smiled at the group of people coming towards them.
"How could you slap like that?" Demi clutched her cheeks as she started sobbing. "I don’t rember offending you. This is the first ti that we saw each other. I don’t understand your animosity toward ."
*CLAP*
*CLAP*
*CLAP*
"Amazing," Lily smiled. "What a praiseworthy acting."
"Lily!" Thomas raised his voice as he walked passed Lily and held the crying Demi in his arms. "What the hell is wrong with you, woman?" He glared at Lily, brows knitted into a frown.
