The CEO's Woman-Chapter 442 An Eye for an Eye
Chapter 442 An Eye for an Eye
A sudden gushed of coldness made Mia shiver after she heard her grandfather's words. She shut her eyes and tightened her hands around her phone, trying to stop herself from breaking down. Her greatest fear came true!
Jiang Yue indeed created a trap for them. She lost thirty of her men and twenty from her grandfather's. She abruptly ended the call, not waiting for his grandfather to say anything else.
Sensing her mood, Peter wrapped his arms around Mia's waist. "What's wrong?"
Mia opened her eyes and look at the man beside her. "That damn woman killed my men."
Peter instantly feigned surprised and narrowed his eyes. He was already expecting this. Jiang Yue is surely cunning to lure both Mia and Nico into this trap.
However, what they did not know was that this was not the end of Jiang Yue's plan. She wanted to establish some authority in the Emerald Country. She needed to do something that will cause an uproar in the underworld. After all, low-key was never her style.
"How did you know this?" Peter asked, pretending to show concern over his wife's sullen state. He was already wondering about the possibility of Jiang Yue counter-attacking. Is that even possible? Will she have the guts to do this?
"Grandfather told me. He had lost contact of all the men that we sent on their two facilities." Mia answered, her voice low. However, this did not mask the anger in her tone. "I will kill that woman." She hissed then gritted her teeth as her eyes roamed around the people nearby, hoping to get a glimpse of Jiang Yue.
Meanwhile, Jiang Yue was smiling her way towards Fu Jin and Mr. Petrov. She was already expecting Mr. Petrov to tell her that he was her father.
Shen made her way towards the second floor of the venue, excitement was showing in her eyes. However, before she could go to the room which has Fu Jin and Mr. Petrov, she was intercepted by another bug... Nico Ruiz.
"Bitch." Nico hissed after grabbing her arms. His eyes were red as rigid cords of veins were showing in his temples. "Remember this… I will not stop until I kill you. You and your man will die by my hands."
"Mr. Ruiz… those were nothing but appetizers and you are already acting this way. "Jiang Yue smiled before tugging her own arm, prompting Nico to let go. "I can't imagine the things that you would do once you have a taste of the main course."
He squinted his eyes at Jiang Yue's words. Does this mean that she is planning to retaliate for what he did? "You are too full of yourself Miss Jiang. You think becoming my enemy is a good thing?"
"And trying to rob me was… good thing?" Jiang Yue countered."Mr. Ruiz… you should have known what kind of person I am. I won't touch you. As long as you stay away from me. But… you made the wrong choice."
"Then I will wait for the time when you finally have the guts to fight against me and my family." He scoffed. "For now remember to watch over your back."
"Two things." She said, leaning her head towards the old man in front of her. "First, you don't have to wait. It is happening as we speak. Second, it is you who should watch your back and not me. After tonight, you will be worthless. What do you think the Vercello's will do if that happens?"
Seeing a change in the old man's expression, Jiang Yue added. "That's right. They will leave you and your granddaughter in the pits of hell."When she saw Nico's face shifted into an ugly scowl Jiang Yue give him a smirk before leaving. Her goal for tonight is to find her father and have his support. Mia Pardi and Nico Ruiz' are just small matters compared to her true goal.
This was something that Fu Jin planned before. Making the whole Emerald Country know that there is a new player in town. Attracting everyone's eyes and attention. Making everyone think that they were nothing but arrogant youngsters who wanted to create a mark in Emerald Country.
Both of them know that this will not only attract jealousy but also enemies from various sectors. This will also attract her father's attention. This was the main reason why they invited every influential figure in this party.
Of course, the thing about Mia and Nico Ruiz is like a bonus. Since Mia was considered someone from the Pardi Family, Jiang Yue wanted to see how important she is in the Pardi's. Will they abandon her once, she will lose the Nico Ruiz as her backer?
Jiang Yue already had everything planned. Every counter attacks were already in place for everyone who would try to create trouble for them. In this night, she will rob the Ruiz' Family with their diamonds and other precious stones. Of course, she was not planning to touch them if they cancel their plans to rob the Moon Empire. A tooth for a tooth, an eye for an eye.
After a few steps, Jiang Yue arrived at the door towards the library in this mansion. She then knocked and opened the door with a smile.
"What took you so long?" Fu Jin asked the moment she took a step inside the room. Jiang Yue smiled at Fu Jin before looking at Mr. Petrov and his adopted son, Alex. They are sitting across Fu Jin.
"Had a little talk with Mr. Pardi." She answered before sitting next to Fu Jin. The air inside the room instantly tensed after she said those words.
"Are you talking about the old Pardi? Or the young one?" It was Alex, his eyes full of interest.
"The young one. I haven't had the chance to talk to the old one yet." She smiled.
Seeing Jiang Yue sit next to Fu Jin, Mr. Petrov continued, "As I was saying, twenty percent should be enough for this collaboration. However, my only concern is the possibility that you cannot supply all the stones alone. As I said before, our demands were pretty high."
Jiang Yue continued to listen to the conversation wondering when this man will tell her about his identity. However, time continued to pass and Mr. Petrov's gaze would not even meet her eyes. Jiang Yue immediately started to doubt everything. Was she wrong? Why would Mr. Petrov ignore her if he was her to tell her that she was his daughter?
"Excuse me. I have to take this call." Mr. Petrov got up from his seat and walked towards the window to answer the call. Jiang Yue was not able to hear the conversation but he was sure that the latter looked at her for a couple of seconds before ending the call.
Jiang Yue might be anxious inwardly but on the outside, she still maintained a stoic appearance. Sometimes, she would show interest while sometimes, she would answer them in a languid tone. She looked as if she was unaware and just a little bored. Though inwardly, she was waiting for her father to say something to her, Jiang Yue still made sure to compose herself.
Her face was not showing anything but a smile, even fooling her father who was sitting across her.
Jiang Yue was right, Mr. Petrov was indeed her father, Li Jun. However, the latter chose not to reveal himself right now. He chose to observe his daughter first. Seeing Jiang Yue act calm and collected in front of him, made him think that she was not aware of his real identity. For some reason, he felt a little sad inside. Was his daughter just good at acting? Or did she not really felt anything towards her own father? How could she be this oblivious?
However, the call that he received just now is something that instantly made him proud.
Nico Ruiz' gems and diamonds storage and processing facilities had been robbed. Leaving him nothing but smiley that was made using a red lipstick.
The second news that he received was that the Moon Empire's facility were all burned down the ground. It was a big explosion which killed a lot of people. However, according to a very credible source, those facilities were already vacated days ago. Li Jun can't help but took a second glance at his daughter who was sitting elegantly while listening to Alex.
Is it possible that she was the one who robbed Nico Ruiz? Just how courageous was his daughter to do something as bold as this in a place that she was not familiar with?
Why would she provoke someone who is close to the Vercello Family? Is she after the Vercello's too?
Li Jun originally thought that Jiang Yue was here because they took over the Kim Family's business. Now, it seems that this is not the case.
