The Villain’s Wife 566 She is The Trophy.
The Peak
"Surely, Bei Tian is so efficient when it cos to these things." Lily bead as she ended the call with Bei Tian.
"Bei Tian is also having a tour in Europe. This is because of that Italian Mafia that Jack left after his death. Jichen told that those people are resisting Bei Tian simply because he is Asian. He said they are all about family and have suggested making Liam the leader... or you." Yang Mi uttered. Seeing Lily lift an eyebrow towards her, Yang Mi imdiately lowered her head and bit her lips.
"Go Jichen, huh." Lily gave her a aningful glance before chuckling. She had heard the sa words from Zhou Jingren. However, Lily does not really want to involve herself in the mafia or any other organization for that matter.
Technically, she was already involved because she was using Zhou Jingren’s resources, which is mostly from his people in the black market. However, she does not want to go as far as becoming the leader of a mafia. Especially now that she was already pregnant.
"Alright. Now that Demi is already with us then... Chen Shi can screw herself." She held the cup of tea closer to her face, inhaling its aroma. She then took a small sip as she wondered why she was not having any morning sickness. Lily always thought that getting pregnant ans going to the bathroom every morning to vomit.
Sure, she was really sleepy and tired, but other than that, Lily does not feel any discomfort in her body. Zhou Dae Un said that it might be because of the herbal tea that she drank before getting pregnant. So of those were said to ease morning sickness and would generally make won feel a little better.
However, Lily thinks that this is because she was having a son. A son only ant less drama, right? She giggled at her own thoughts.
"Chen Shi seed to be having problems lately. So paparazzi caught their props being ruined for a couple of days. Of course, they said it was nothing but drunk people having fun and they already reported to the authorities."
"Hmmm." Lily nodded. She then lazily leaned on the couch and started reading so files that Zhou Jingren sent her from her tablet. These were the files of the household in The Peak. "Did you already asked Jichen about the event that I told you about?" she asked while reading each household’s files.
"I did. He said... it will be done."
"Wonderful." Today, Lily decided not to go with Zhou Jingren and spend so ti reading so gossips about the — wait, this is not gossip. And there is nothing shaless in gathering so information about the enemy first.
Bullets are required in a war. Only a fool would go to war without anything that could easily defeat the enemy. In Lily’s case, this information is akin to missiles. It could ruin lives, hos, and even... an entire community of won. She bead as she continued to read.
"President... I just want to confirm. The volunteer work that you wanted to do involves cleaning and making food for children?" Yang Mi asked. "You an... those won will clean and cook for them?"
"Don’t forget washing clothes. That is important too."
"I — uh... did they really agree to do it?" Hesitation clouded Yang Mi’s gaze. "I an... they are really rich won known for the extravagant lifestyle. Why would they agree?"
"Because of sha," Lily answered without batting an eyelid. Her eyes were still glued to the tablet. "They are afraid of sha. They would rather join a battle that they cannot win that... ruin their reputation. Yang Mi... these people... are not like us. You and ... were trained by Lilian."
Yang Mi only nodded at Lily’s words.

Yu Household, The Peak
"So... you are going?" Yu Helong asked, a tinge of worry flashed in his eyes. "Ruo..." he sighed. "How could you fall into Lily’s trap?"
"Helong... I am fine." Jiang Ruo smiled at her husband. All she wanted was to get close to Lily. But, her approach seed wrong. But is this enough to make her lose all hope? No. In fact, this only challenged her to try even harder for her family. "Besides... Lily was right. This could easily boost the na of the community. This will benefit us all."
Another sigh escaped her husband’s lips. "Ruo... We are already old. I cannot just tell you what to do. But rember... Lily is used to raging wars against n. And she won... over and over. She won. Do not think that a simple sche would be enough to defeat her."
"I know." She bit her lips. Now that she thought about it. Lily is actually very different from most won in this neighborhood. Unlike most won who love to show off their dress and bags as trophies, Lily is different. She doesn’t need to show off her trophies. That’s because SHE is the trophy.
A woman like that should be very hard to handle.
"Did you have news about mother?" she changed the topic. Although they live in the sa mansion as Old Man Yu, the sick matriarch had been transferred to another house behind the mansion where the old man stayed most of the ti to take care of her.
"She won’t live for long."
"Then the will?"
"Still nothing." Yu Helong said. "They are getting impatient. I can see it in their eyes. Second brother is especially mad about this matter."
"Why would he be mad? He wasn’t even mad when your sister poisoned your mother. Is he mad that he might not be included in the will? Or he is mad that your mother is still alive?" Jiang Ruo sneered. Disgust apparent in her eyes.
"Both. That man can be dangerous. He had been eying the CEO position for so long now. He is only waiting for father to die before he will challenge my position. And the fact that the will is blank... is preventing him from hurting father."
