BXBX NOVEL Chapter 610 Privacy
The Villain’s Wife 610 Privacy
"Don’t lie to me," her husband’s voice had a tinge of warning. "Do you think she will waste her time looking for evidence if you did not do something wrong? Do you see me as a fool?"
"Husband... you have to believe me this time. I didn’t really do anything wrong. Maybe we can ask father to.."
"Linyue... if you keep on lying to me. I won’t be able to help you. We both know how your father is very strict about this. If your brothers and sister will get ahold of this scandal, they will surely kick us while we are down. Then they will send our son out of the company. We can’t let that happen."
"But..."
Her words were interrupted when the maid approached her. "Is there something that you need?" she asked.
"Madam... Miss Lily is still outside. She did not leave earlier and she... she told me to ask you..."
"Let her in!" Madam Liu said. She waited for the maid to leave before speaking to her husband. "She is here."
"Then... handle this well. Linyue... remember to save our face. Treat her well." Her husband said. "And please... avoid any arguments or confrontations. I will talk to Mr. Zhou about the matter with her wife. I am sure he is not aware of her actions. Maybe I can... get us out of this situation by talking to him." Not long after, her husband ended the call.
With a sigh, Madam Liu held her phone closer to her chest. A line appeared between her brows. Was this Lily’s retaliation because she did not let her inside? Or is it because of telling Adalind about her other house? But... isn’t this too petty?
Madam Liu eyed the entrance that led towards the terrace of their mansion. A few seconds later, she saw Lily walking at the entrance, her red dress swaying, dancing at the breeze. Lily smiled at her.
"Madam Liu..." she uttered. "What you did was quite rude." Lily’s eyes landed towards the group of women not far away from them. "I don’t like it."
"Lily," Madam Liu felt an enormous lump in her throat. She forced a smile. "I was... it was a misunderstanding."
"Is that so?" Lily lifted an eyebrow before she snorted. "First you told Adalind and maybe showed her images of my house. Then, you refuse to let me inside when I even wasted some of my precious energy to prepare some gifts for you. Then you tell me it was a misunderstanding?" Lily’s sweet tone vanished.
"Lily... let’s not do that here." Madam Liu managed to say. She dreaded everything about Lily. Her cunning eyes, the way her lips curled into a mocking smile, her sharp words. Everything about Lily is making her uncomfortable.
"Do what?" Lily lifted an eyebrow. However, she did not wait for Madam Liu to say something. Instead, she sashayed her way into the group of women. "Ladies..." Lily uttered, gaining everyone’s attention.
"Lily... how did you get it?"
"Ask your mother." She shrugged and sat at the vacant seat. "She graciously let me in... after some..." Lily’s eyes darted towards Madam Liu’s pale face. "Threats." Seeing everyone’s reaction only made Lily laugh inwardly.
"Lily is only joking. She really loves to say such funny things." Madam Liu gave a wry laughter. "I let her in." She met her daughter’s eyes, hoping that the latter would not say something that might anger Lily. However, just who was Liu Chin?
"Why? I am not very comfortable with her coming into our house."
"And what are you comfortable with... Miss Liu?" Lily retorted. She then opened a pack of nuts that Zhou Jingren got for her and started throwing some in her mouth. "Cheating to get into the university?"
"You— "
"Liu Chin Enough!"
"Mother!"
"This is not the right time and place to discuss this matter." Madam Liu sat opposite to Lily. "Lily... please... this is a peaceful gathering let’s not ruin the day by spouting such nonsense." She tried to make her voice sound as confident as she could be.
"Well... I am specifically here to ruin your peaceful day. So..." Lily smiled. She then turned towards Adalind. "I always wonder how did you know about my house. So this is where you got them, huh."
"What are you talking about?"
"My privacy," Lily uttered. She then looked at Madam Liu, then to Liu Chin. "I always wonder why Miss Brooke knew that I have such a beautiful garden in that house. It was such a mystery. So... can you imagine my surprise when I was informed that the cleaning company that is maintaining the house is from the Liu Family?"
"That — Lily... we didn’t mean to do it. It’s just a house. Don’t you think you are overreacting?" Madam Liu asked.
"I agree. It’s only the garden. Do you really have to force your way in here and act like a disrespectful bitch?" Liu Chin was not able to stop herself. As expected, her mother’s eyes instantly widened when she heard Liu Chin’s words. However, Liu Chin does not have the time to think about her mother’s reaction anymore.
"It’s my privacy," Lily said. "If you don’t know what that means then... I will show you the meaning behind the word."
"Lily please..." Madam Liu tried to maintain her calm facade. It was obvious that Lily wanted to tell everyone about the things that she sent towards Madam Liu’s husband.
"Lily! You are stressing everyone out!" Madam He rose from her seat and walked behind Madam Liu. She then started rubbing Madam Liu’s back. As if trying to calm her down. "There was a reason why we didn’t agree to let you in earlier. I think... you should leave now." She eyed the two burly men standing a few feet away from Lily and the woman who was calmly holding her tablet.
"I think they are right," Adalind added. "You are making them uncomfortable. Lily... this is not the place to show how intimidating you are. This is just a small gathering, not some company meeting."
