The Villain’s Wife 620 Beauty and Jealousy

Adalind stared at Zhou Jingren’s eyes. She felt her face turn hot as she swallowed her bitter tasting saliva. She had never met a man as blunt as the one standing before her.

"Mr. Zhou— "

"I have no interest in interacting with you Miss Brooke." He bluntly said before turning towards the exit. However, how could Adalind pass up this opportunity?

She already had her friend wait for an opportunity like this to secretly take some ambiguous images of them together! Originally, Adalind wanted to take some photos of Lily embarrassing her in front of everyone. However, since Lily left, she wanted a photo with Zhou Jingren instead.

"Mr. Zhou... wait..." she walked towards him before intentionally stumbling on her heels. Her eyes instantly widened, her mouth agape as she waited for him to catch her. But what happened was out of her expectations.

When Adalind realized that Zhou Jingren did not even turn to look at her, it was already too late. A loud thud echoed in the lobby as she hit the floor. Still, Zhou Jingren did not stop walking away from her.

He never once turned his head, nor halted his steps. He just continued walking as if he never heard her fall on the floor. The pain in Adalind’s foot woke her up from her stupor. She instantly paled when she saw her twisted foot. The pain that followed was excruciating.

"Ahhh!" She intentionally made her voice louder, hoping it would be enough to stop him from walking away, but it was futile. Zhou Jingren was already on his way towards the door, his back facing her. What a cruel man! She thought.

He was supposed to catch her, stop her from falling. Then he would carry her and check if she was alright. However, none of those things happened.

"Miss Brooke? Are you alright?" One staff member asked. Concern laced her face, however, not even she was able to hide the disgust in her eyes. She heard the conversation between the two. "Hey! Someone call for an ambulance! I think Miss Brooke’s feet are broken. It’s starting to swell." The staff called out before turning back to Adalind, "Miss Brooke, please stay calm. Let’s wait for the ambulance so we can take you to the nearest hospital."

People started to crowd around her. Many of them saw what happened and even heard the entire conversation. While they all showed concern to the beautiful foreigner on the outside. On the inside, many were not able to stop themselves from rolling their eyes.

The thing about beauty is... that it is always bound to attract jealousy from other women. As Lily said... women are poisonous creatures. They love and they destroy, equally.

Seeing a beautiful woman like Adalind being embarrassed by an equally appealing man only made most of the women who witnessed the situation smile inwardly. Wasn’t this enough to prove that beauty does not always guarantee that one will have the man of your dreams?

"Don’t touch me!" Adalind hissed as she slapped away the hand of the staff who touched her feet. "It hurts! Don’t touch me!"

...

When Lily saw Adalind fall, the first thing that she did was giggle. It was just too entertaining, ah. When she saw Zhou Jingren walk away like he had not even heard the woman fall to the floor, she giggled even more.

Seeing Adalind’s expression was really making her smile. "That was epic." She noted when Zhou Jingren got into the car. With the same smile on her face, she leaned towards him as she folded her arms on his neck. She pulled him for a light kiss.

"Hmmm." He nodded. To him it was always right to put people in their right place from the get-go. He would rather spend his time pampering his wife than scheme against someone that he could easily destroy without even lifting his hand. "I already asked someone to do the renovations for our house in Switzerland. And the nursery." He added, completely changing the atmosphere inside the car.

Lily lifted an eyebrow in response. "But... we don’t know the gender yet."

"It’s alright. The furniture is all peach for now. We can always paint it once we know the gender."

"Then... it’s all good." She nodded. "About the photo shoot."

"Don’t worry about it. They only want it so they can put it on their website and magazine. It’s not that big of a deal."

"This is your first award since you started Zhou Capital. Are you sure this is not a big deal?"

"Of course. I will ask Secretary Go to take care of it. Then we can have an interview in my office tomorrow."

Lily nodded in response. Some people in the business industry were peculiar creatures. After that the car turned silent as they rode towards Zhou Capital.

When Lily arrived at Zhou Jingren’s office, the first thing that she did was sleep. These days, Lily felt like her energy was too low and all she really wanted was to lie down and sleep. When she later awoke, it was already four in the afternoon.

Since Zhou Jingren was still working, Lily decided to check out some of her emails from the Facci Group. And one particular email caught her attention.

It was an email from the COO from one of the biggest oil companies in the world. The image of a blond man with piercing blue eyes caught her attention as it was attached to the email. For some reason, she felt that she already met this man somewhere. However, Lily was quick to shrug this feeling off.

She then read the email that specifically requested a meeting. However, the thing was, the man insisted on seeingLily and did not agree on seeing Mr. Rossi or even Cathy. Of course, Lily did not find this weird. After all, he was an executive of one of the top oil companies in the world. It was only normal for him to demand such a thing.

"President... please take a look at this." Yang Mi handed Lily the tablet. "This is Miss Su Ma’s social media account. She does not really post any personal images, just some choreographed images of books and her cat. Then just a while back, she posted this." Yang Mi’s face turned ugly as she eyed the image on the screen.
