The Villain's Wife

Chapter 611 Direct and Indirec

"True." Lily shrugged before she rose from her seat. "Since you don't want me to show it here… I will…" she looked at Madam Liu. "Send it to the press instead."

"Wait! Lily…"

"Hm?" Lily lifted an eyebrow.

"Please… sit down. Let's… Let's not blow this out of proportion." Madam Liu said. If Lily will reveal this scandal to the public, her husband's career and maybe even her daughter's education will be over! What will happen if Liu Chin's socialite friends know that she got into the famous university not because of her brains but because of illegal means?

"Mother, what does she mean? What is happening here?"

Lily looked at the mother and daughter duo, then her gaze landed into Madam He. Her lips curled into a mocking smirk. Lily is very adamant to keep these people out of her life simply because of her pregnancy. She knew that she cannot hide it forever, but she believes that this is not the right time to announce such news to the world.

As much as possible, Lily wanted to hide this from her neighbor. This is not only to secure herself and her child from the people scheming behind their backs. She deliberately decided to do this so she could spend her time with her husband as both of them witness their little bundle of joy growing inside her.

"Madam He… I remember that it was you who suggested that we have a tour in my closet? You dared to ask to see a woman's closet despite meeting them for the first time." Lily is petty, alright? This is something that she could deny. She is petty, and she loves to play people against each other. "Since you don't know what privacy is… I will…" Lily dialed a number on her phone.

"Yes… send it to Mr. Liu. Thanks, Yuanfeng. Wait… you should also send it to everyone in the Liu Family." She ended the call and watched as Madam He paled.

"What did you do?" Liu Chin asked. "What — " she immediately opened her phone. "What is this?"

"What is it?" Madam Liu asked. Confusion laced her eyes as she also opened her phone. Silence followed her question as she covered her mouth in horror. She stared at the photos on her phone then into Madam He. "This — Xun… you — "

Lily watched in amusement as Liu Chin and her mother stared at Madam He. A mixture of disgust, hostility, and distressed glinted in their eyes. She took back her seat and started eating her nuts as she waited for the drama to ensue.

Not long after she sat down, the sound of a resounding slap reached her ears.

"How dare you sleep with my son!" Madam Liu fumed. Her eyes wide as she glared at Madam He. "You harlot! You are a married woman! How dare you betray me!"

"You are sleeping with my brother?" Liu Chin held her phone in front of Madam He's face.

"That… is not true. They photoshopped those photos!"

"Photoshopped!? Do you think we are fools? I know your tattoo in your thighs! You showed it to me one time! Not even mother knows this! Do you think Lily would know that you have a tattoo in this part of your body?" Liu Chin raised her voice. "Is this why you always come in here when my brother is not working? Is this why you became my friend?" Madam He is still in her thirties. Despite her age, she still looked as if she was still in her twenties.

"Liu Chin… Madam Liu listen to me. Lily is just trying to ruin our friendship! Please… let's all calm down." Madam He stuttered as she clutched her face. She and Gannon had been sleeping around for a few months now. However, they make sure to keep it as a secret. This was mostly because of Gannon's parents that are not as liberated as everyone else.

They would never approve if Gannon would marry a divorced woman who is older than him by a few years. This was also the reason why Madam He decided not to divorce her husband yet.

"You disgust me!" Liu Chin said. "I always see you as an elder sister! It turns out you only got close to me and my family because you like my brother! You — You are a predator!"

"Liu Chin! How could you say that? Gannon is an adult male! We are in love!"

"In love!? My brother is sleeping with two or more other women in Hongkong and maybe even more abroad you fool!"

"That's not true! Gannon likes me!"

"Yeah… you can keep telling that to yourself!"

"You— "

"Enough!" Madam Liu interrupted. "Stop it!" She then turned towards Lily. "I am not sure why you are doing this but this could ruin families and friendships that we have built for years."

"Aside from the fact that I am petty, I am merely showing the meaning of the word privacy," Lily answered as she shrugged. In Lily's vocabulary, there are two types of attacks.

Direct and indirect. Both can be used independently but are more effective when combined.

These two are something that she uses in dealing with her enemies all the time. For instance, the entertainment that she is watching now is the result of her direct attack. While her aim is to cause chaos, Lily's indirect attack also comes in the form of letting Adalind know how capable she was.

From Yang Mi's reports, Lily already knew what type of woman Adalind is. And she knew the latter is trying to get close to her husband. And this… this scene in front of them should be enough to let her know that Lily is not someone that anyone could offend.

This show of capability was designed to intimidate a woman like Adalind. And Lily could only hope that it will work. If not, then… Adalind is not a very lucky woman.

Lily turned towards Adalind and as expected, Adalind's face was devoid of any expression as she stared at Lily's sinister smile.
