Chen Shi's squeal echoed inside the room. "Officer! Help me! Please… help us… Thomas just lost his consciousness. I — " Panic apparent in Chen Shi's face as the bells inside her minds went off. "Help! Please… help… I am wounded!" She pleaded.

She looked at them, misery clear in her eyes as she screamed for help, hoping it is enough to convince them that she was the victim here. However, the officers ignored her, instead, they let some medical personnel check both Jun Liang and Thomas Lee.

Her eyes instantly widened. What is happening?

"Excuse me, officer?" She was the one with a knife stuck in her arm. Why are they helping them instead of her?

Chen Shi was about to move when one officer approached her and asked her not to move as she was under arrest.

"Excuse me?"

"Miss Chen, you are under arrest for… " the rest of the officer's words came as a buzzing noise in Chen Shi��s ears. Her eyes were so wide, she could feel them almost popped out of its sockets. For a few seconds, Chen Shi stood frozen, face paled with blood in her arms.

The next event turned blurry inside her mind. It was as if Chen Shi's world completely shut down as she was taken to a hospital before being taken to prison. Was she dreaming? She asked herself over and over as she sat in the cold prison, alone and helpless, enduring the throbbing pain in her arm.

The news about Chen Shi's arrest became a hot topic in both Singapore and Hong Kong. After all, she was a celebrity with millions of fans who adores her. However, a lot of Chen Shi's fans did not believe these claims. Many immediately made some conspiracy theories about this being set up by her third husband as revenge.

Some even started a petition to let her go as she was a really kind person incapable of hurting a fly. However, this all stopped when someone claimed that Chen Shi is not actually nice but someone who uses people and manipulates them into doing what she wanted.

Soon after, her second husband revealed how Chen Shi blackmailed her and asked the media not to sympathize with a woman like her.

At first, many of her fans did not believe it. How could their goddess do this? Chen Shi is perfect. There is just no way that she will blackmail someone! However, Jun Liang's statement and some evidence showing Chen Shi's injuries in the past were self-inflicted was enough proof to turn the situation around.

After Jun Liang released his statement, a few other artists followed. Some of them felt that Chen Shi really manipulated them into doing something that they did not want to, while some claim that they saw Chen Shi throw a tantrum when a man accidentally touched her.

Of course, this became a hot topic in the media. The debate of male abuse soon trended in all social media platforms as people started pointing out how unfair society is to men. If women want equality then isn't it fair that men have the same laws protecting them from their abusive wives and partner too?

What happened to both Jun Liang and Chen Shi's second and third husband was proof of how far a woman can go when she is smart and determined enough. A scheming woman is as scary as an abusive man. And the sad reality is that they are still favored when it comes to the laws. For instance, if something like this happened to a woman, to the wife, the husband would surely receive the greatest punishment that the state could give.

It was a never-ending debate. However, the fact that Chen Shi will stay in prison for a long time is undeniable.

Of course, this issue does not affect Lily at all. She won the bet and now Qin Yuanfeng will work under her. This and the fact that Chen Shi is already in jail was enough to make Lily's day.

"How about you buy me some… Chicken wings?" Lily beamed towards his brother. "I want a bucket of spicy ones."

In response, Qin Yuanfeng pursed his lips and gave her a knowing look. He hated how Zhou Jingren already warned him about this request from Lily. Is it possible that Zhou Jingren and Lily knew each other so well, they could also predict each other's words? He snorted and rolled his eyes.

That is impossible.

"What's wrong?" Lily asked. "If you are too lazy to buy, we can always order of course you will have to pay."

"No." He answered shortly.

"What do you mean no? You don't want to pay for it? I won the bet, remember?"

"This is not part of the bet." Turning towards his computer, Qin Yuanfeng decided to ignore everything that Lily will say in the next hour. Zhou Jingren already warned him about this behavior. At first, Zhou Jingren told him to decline Lily and tell her about the health benefits of eating healthy while pregnant. However, Qin Yuanfeng felt that he does not dare to lecture Lily.

So he chose to ignore her instead.

…..

The Peak

"Congratulations." Zhou Jingren beamed at his wife. "You won the bet."

"That nothing new." A smug smile was on Lily's face. "Yuanfeng will start to accompany me tomorrow. Anyway… did you know that Samantha Chen is actually related to Chen Shi's relative from Yunnan? I mean… she claimed they were brothers and sisters, but it wasn't proven. She then took Samantha under her wing and trained her to become an actress."

Lily continued. "I think Chen Shi was really smart. Not smart enough, though." She shrugged. At the end of the day, I am glad that both Jun Liang and Thomas are safe and… Samantha just filed for divorce. I guess the only thing stopping her from leaving that Adrian is her father." She shook her head as she silently wished for Samantha to find her own happiness.
