The Villain's Wife (WN) - Chapter 488: A Scheming Monster!

"A businessman." Lily stared at Demi. She smiled at her before looking at Demi's father. "Are you perhaps talking about my husband? Mr. Zhou? Zhou Jingren of the Zhou Capital?"

Instantaneously Jun Liang's face changed. He then recalled all the news about Zhou Jingren being married that he read in the past few months. This was the reason why he was so reluctant to make a deal about this with Old Man Lee. However, the old man assured him that his grandson is not married and was only using the news for his company.

The old man also told him that Zhou Jingren agreed to release this news and use it to his advantage. "What do you mean?" he asked, his gaze darted over his daughter. However, before Lily could answer, the door was opened revealing his son. The anxious face of his son immediately made him frown.

"Ah, Miss Lily, I am proud to introduce my son, Tim Liang. He is acting as my current Vice President." In response, Tim glanced at Lily and gave her a smile before he looked at Demi. "Why are you here?" he furrowed his brows.

"Tim? Is that how you talk to your sister?"

"Sister?" Tim sneered before she looked at Lily. "I would like to apologize for my sister's action." He bowed towards Lily. This made both his father and sister rose from their seat.

"Tim? What is happening?" Demi asked, confused. "Why are you apologizing?"

"Stop acting!" Tim hissed. He then removed some crumpled paper in his jacket pocket. He gave it to his father before he opened his phone and showed the complete video. "What were you thinking?" he asked his sister. "How could you act like that? Miss Lily did not even touch you!"

Demi immediately looked at the paper and just as she expected, it was the CCTV images of when she was talking to Lily. It showed the smug look on her face. On the next page, shows that she was crying and clutching her face. Her face immediately turned ugly.

"Who released this?" she asked, her hands trembled. The only person who knew about this was her uncle and Isaac Lee. According to their plan, they will only release these photos once she gets pregnant to make it look like Lily bullied a pregnant woman. Moreover, Isaac assured her that the CCTV was deleted and there was no way that Lily and Zhou Jingren would get it.

Isaac assured her that his connections and far wider than both Lily and Zhou Jingren combined as this was his country. "Where did you get this?"

"It is all over the news! Are you crazy?" Tim asked as he showed his phone. This time, it was the whole video of what happened. This was randomly posted in one of the social media from an anonymous source. It was clear that this did not come from the CCTV. It was as if… someone deliberately took the video of what happened.

Even their voices are somewhat clear! The clip was short, and it only showed Demi smiling a sinister smile to Lily before she took a step back and clutched her cheeks when she saw people walking their way.

"You — " her eyes immediately reddened as rage overtook her. "You did this didn't you!?" She walked towards Lily, fury apparent in her words. However, before she could even get close to the woman, her brother immediately stopped her.

"Why are you raging like it was Miss Lily's fault? You were the one who acted like you were bullied and you were mad that you got caught?" Tim raised his voice. "Stop struggling and apologize!"

"Let me go! Let go, Tim! You are hurting me!"

"Apologize now!"

"Enough!" Jun Liang walked in front of his daughter. His eyes glued at Lily's sinister smile. "I believe there is a reason why… something like this is happening?" He tried to keep his calm. How could Lily do something like this without a proper reason? Jun believed that Lily is reasonable enough to give him an explanation about this situation. "Please, Miss Lily. I don't think that you are that unreasonable to attack my innocent daughter like this."

In Jun's mind, his daughter is innocent as she does not really have any reason to attack Lily. Moreover, it was obvious that Demi does not have the capability to do this kind of scheme. In his eyes, his daughter might be naive but she is not a schemer.

"Innocent?" Lily smirked. "Your daughter wanted me to divorce my husband. So she could have him. Tell me… Mr. Liang, which part of that is innocent?"

"Stop saying nonsense! That video was manipulated, dad! That video is not real! She must have done this to ruin me!"

"Miss Lily…"

"And why would I ruin you?" Lily asked. "Do you think you are worth my time?"

"You — You are a scheming monster! How dare you!" Demi's voice was shrill. She glared at Lily as she balled her hands into a fist. "You — delete that video now! Delete it now!" Demi couldn't let Old Man Lee see that video or the latter would surely change his mind about her. Old Man Lee and even her uncle always thought that she was kind and gentle. Just like the perfect woman that they so wanted for Zhou Jingren.

How could she allow them to see her real nature?

"Why?" Lily asked confusion laced her gaze. "Why not let the people know that this is the real you?"

"Miss Lily… please, if you could leave us." Jun Liang said as he maintained his composure. "We need some time alone to talk about this."

"Mr. Liang… this just the icing to the cake. This is not even the real deal." Lily opened her handbag and showed everyone her phone. She immediately pressed the play button as the Old Man Lee's voice echoed inside.

"Stop that!" Demi yelled. She tried to move past her brother and father, but it was futile. The atmosphere instantly turned dark as Isaac continued to talk to Lily. The ominous silence from her father and brother made Demi shiver. She turned to look at Lily only to see her smiling at her as if she did not just do something this sinister.

Her red lips were curled upwards as her eyes crinkled. Shortly after, the silence turned suffocating as Demi's father and brother listened to Isaac threatened Lily.
