The Villain's Wife

110

While Jennie and Lisa were busy having an emotionally charged conversation with each other, Yifei was busy having one with herself as she relentlessly paced back and forth in her hotel room. A quick glance at her watch showed her that it was almost ten in the evening... She had been in the hotel for almost twenty four hours yet she was still no closer to coming up with a solution to solve the problems at hand.

By now, Yifei had guessed that Jennie was the one responsible for all of this. It had to be Jennie. She was clearly the person who informed Hao about all of her misdeeds. Jennie wanted to pit them against each other and there was no better way to start than providing Hao with Chen's address so he could confirm his suspicions

Moreover, after analyzing all of the facts, she realized that Jennie had also framed her for the old man's demise. Yifei gritted her teeth as she recalled receiving cryptic messages telling her to pay a visit to her father's grave. At first she thought that it was Cheng's way of leaving her clues. She thought that it was his way of telling her that he was somewhere safe.

But no! It was all a part of an elaborate plan to trap her; to lure her out of the house to make it look like she ran away after killing the old man and buying as many shares in the Kim Group as she possibly could. Every scenario, every hurdle that she'd encountered so far was meticulously calculated. It was all part of a grand plan to make Hao think that she was the enemy and not Jennie.

Yifei's fingers curled into a fist before she picked her phone and tried calling Hao again. She was sure that if he returned home now, he would not give her a chance to explain herself. Yifei was sure that Hao would definitely hurt her or even have her killed!

When Yifei heard the phone continue to ring on his side she sighed in frustration. Yifei wanted Hao to know that all of this- everything that has happened - was all Jennie's fault and not hers.

"And... you really dared to call me. Very good!" Hao's cold voice suddenly boomed across the line.

"Hao...you have to listen to me," Yifei pleaded. "I was framed... I did not kill Father." There was no point in prolonging this situation anymore, so she came right to the point. All she wanted right now was to make it clear to Hao that she was innocent.

"Ohhh... Shut up! I know you did it! I know this was your revenge... everything was! I should have believed... or at least given the benefit of the doubt to Jennie and the things she said about you at that dinner!" he bellowed.

"Listen... this is all Jennie's fault. I did not kill Father and I have nothing to do with the stocks purchased in my name. I am..."

"Listen to yourself Yifei!" Hao hissed. "You sound like you are a truly innocent soul! B*tch! You have been controlling my family for more than twenty years and yet you still have the audacity to blame this on someone else?"

"Hao... this was not my fault! I was framed. I did not transfer those stocks to my name and I did not kill Father. Whatever information you have is all made up by Jennie to turn us against each other!" Yifei tried her best to reason with him. While she didn't really care about what would happen to the Kim Family personally, she did care about her image and the status of the Kim Group. Now that Hao already knows the truth, it would be really easy for him to ruin her or cause trouble for her.

"Do you really see me as a fool? Why don't you show your true colors to me? Huh! Show your pathetic self to me! You ingrate! My father clothed you and fed you! He helped you in every way possible and yet this is how you repay him?? You have him killed!"

"You were the one who poisoned him!" Yifei suddenly blurted out. The tone of her voice was extremely different from her usual meek way of speaking. "Why are you blaming me when you were the one who wanted him dead?"
