The Villain's Wife

Chapter 692 A Victim



Chapter 692 A Victim

Su Mingyu stared at the man sitting opposite to her. This was her first time, meeting the man famed for his achievements in the financial world. Pursing her lips, she turned her gaze towards the man serving them coffee and some refreshments. This was Mr. Zhou's secretary, Mr. Go , famed for being an expert in martial arts and for his loyalty towards his boss.

She had heard stories about these two. Working in a company with people that they saved, meant hearing stories about their excellent traits all the time. However, Su Mingyu knew that this was all fake. A kind CEO? Does someone like that even exist?

She was sure that Zhou Jingren was only using the orphanage, creating a show in helping all the troubled teenagers in starting their lives for fame. For the media's satisfaction. A sneer escaped her lips.

"Can we start now?" she asked her lawyer.

"Of course," Miss Jones, a US born— British lawyer who volunteered to take her case for free answered. "President Zhou, here are the compensations that we want." She said as she handed a folder to Zhou Jingren.

Seeing Zhou Jingren accept the file, Miss Jones continued, "My client was sexually assaulted and was a victim of sexism in your company. I don't know why you wanted to schedule a meeting with us. It was already made clear that we do not want to settle."

Her words instantly earned a raised eyebrow from Zhou Jingren. Eyeing the contents of the folder, he snorted. "You didn't come here to settle. Yet you dare show me a list of things that you want?"

"Compensations… I would call them compensation." Miss Jones uttered. "My client was traumatized. Her anxiety is off the charts as she couldn't help but fear for her life. We want proper compensation for this."

"Why not wait for the court to decide?" He countered.

"Surely, you already know that the court will always favor our case." Miss Jones said. "We have all the evidence that we need. Once we make the evidence public, the media will tear you and your company to shreds." She smirked. "Once that happens everything about you will also come to light."

"A blatant threat." Everyone turned their heads at the woman who walked inside without even knocking. 

"Excuse me? This is a private meeting. I— " Miss Jones didn't continue her words when she saw Lily's features. She stood from her seat, a smile instantly blossomed on her face. "Miss Facci."

"Miss Jones, " Lily nodded. Her eyes then shifted towards Su Mingyu. "Miss Su and I presume this is… "

"Miss Hernandez." The other woman sitting on the other side of Miss Su also stood from her seat.

"It's good to see you again?" Lily smiled before she sat next to Zhou Jingren. "Please ignore my entrance. I didn't realize that I took a lot of time in shooting my targets. I had a little more fun. I actually forgot the time."

Gulping at Lily's words, Miss Jones and Miss Hernandez eyed each other. Only a few lawyers in their industry were not aware who Lily was. Unfortunately for them, they were a part of the majority. "Miss Facci, forgive the disrespect but… may I know why you are here? This is a private meeting." Miss Jones

"Exactly." Lily smiled. "A private meeting with me. As the owner of this company, I have the right to attend this meeting."

As expected, Miss Jones and Miss Hernandez furrowed their brows.

"What is going on?" Su Mingyu asked. She was expecting to only see Zhou Jingren today. Why would his wife suddenly join them?

"Jichen… give them the current proof that I own the most shares of this company." Lily uttered, propping her chin into her palms. She then watched as Secretary Go gave them a folder that he had already prepared beforehand. This was the transfer of ownership that was just approved by the board of directors a few months back. It was a document that made Lily the highest shareholder of the security group.

"This— "

"I understand the lack of research. After all, some major shareholders do not really work in the company. Some just like to stay in the background as the CEO's manage the company." Lily was talking about older shareholders who prefer to just show themselves during board meetings, despite holding the largest amount of shares in the company.

One example of this is the Qin Industries. Despite Lily owning the most shares in Qin Chuan's company, she never showed herself in the company and would only send representatives to deal with Xuan Hui as he was running the company, acting as its CEO. "Of course… we all know that I am not like this." She smiled. 

"So… the demands." Lily continued.

"Compensation." Su Mingyu corrected her. "It's a compensation for the emotional damages that this case has caused me."

"Alright, Miss Su. We will handle this." Miss Jones smiled at Su Mingyu, hoping that she understood the current situation in front of them. "Miss Facci— "

"Mrs. Zhou." Lily interrupted her. "Call me Mrs. Zhou."

"Oh… I— My apologies." Miss Jones' eyes darted towards Zhou Jingren's languid state as she wondered if this is something that they plan ahead of time to surprise her and her team. "As I was saying, this is — "

"No." Lily interrupted her again. She shifted her gaze towards Su Mingyu. "It's a no. We won't give you any compensation. Your stress does not concern me. And I'm sure as hell, it does not concern anyone in this room."

Seeing Su Mingyu's face started to change its color, a sly smile slithered on Lily's face. "Filing a case against us, is your choice. Why would you want us to pay for something that you felt after your actions?" She snorted. "It's funny how you come in here and try to threaten us with something as small as this."

"I am a victim."

"Everyone is." Lily shrugged. "Miss Su, let me tell you this, there is no way that you will win this case against me." She met Miss Jones' and Miss Hernandez' eyes. "Both of them know that. I suggest you just give up."
