The Villain's Wife

88

Alexandra smiled at everyone sitting before her. The police stood on the sidelines.. This made the reporters and some of the audience a bit nervous. Why did she invite the police at this time?

It was 8:58am and everyone was excited to hear Alexandra's announcement.

'What do you think will she announce?'

'This should be about her father taking over the company. I heard from a source that Mu Huang is already the new CEO.'

'This is an attempt to save their malls. People are now saying they will boycott Scarlet City because of Alexandra's ruthless behavior.'

'I think it's something different.'

Audience members began debating amongst themselves. What could be the reasons for this press conference, and why have the authorities on standby?

The sound of mic feedback echoed in the hall, a signal that Alexandra was about to start speaking.

"Good Morning," she said, her voice a little crisp. It was as if she was trying her best to hold back tears. This instantly raised a lot of eyebrows. Was she going to cry?

"My name is Alexandra Mu. I represent the Mu Group, and today I will..." Before she could complete her sentence, someone's gasp echoed through the hall.

"Alessandra posted a video online!" one of the reporters said. "Look, it is about the Mu family!"

Alexandra's beautiful eyes instantly widened. She tried to continue with what she was saying but most of the people in front of her were already looking at their phones. "Ehem..." she cleared her throat to try and gain their attention but it seemed that no one heard her. "Today I am here to..."

"Arrest her!" One person from the back shouted. "She is a despicable woman! Arrest her!"

Alexandra's face instantly paled when she heard those words, however, she tried her best to look calm on the outside.

"Her parents killed Alessandra's parents and she knew it! She bullied Alessandra because of it!"

"My Goodness! What a ruthless woman!" Everyone's judging glares turned towards Alexandra, making her cringe under their censuring looks. How could these people judge her like this?

"Stop this," Alexandra said as she turned her eyes to the authorities, trying to ask them to help her. However, it was too late. One person came out of nowhere and threw something at her.

'Pak'

'Pak'

Eggs? Tomatoes?

Where did this come from? Alexandra tried to duck but her movements were too slow. She was hit by an egg and then some other nasty things. She felt some form of cold liquid flowing from her head and realized that someone even threw an ice-cream cone at her!

What is this situation! Even the authorities were dumbfounded! They instantly tried to catch the people who were throwing things at Alexandra but the culprits were quick enough to evade the authorities.

"Murderer!" another person shouted before running in the opposite direction. The scene was absolute chaos! Alexandra was now being protected by her security detail who were helping her leave the premises, and then someone played Alessandra's video on the large screen.

'Once upon a time there was a family in Korea..." Those were the last words that Alexandra heard before her security detail took her out via the back door of the venue. She was curious about Alessandra's statement but her safety was more important right now.

"Give me your tablet," she hissed the moment she got into her car. She did not even bother cleaning herself up as she snatched her secretary's tablet. She instantly looked at the trending videos and furrowed her brows even more when she saw Alessandra's views climbing. Ten thousand people? In just a few seconds?
