The Villain's Wife

"Oh! No." Jennie's knowing smile immediately made Ron nervous. "Why would I do that? I mean... If I sell the shares to the other company, I would lose the fifteen percent that I want." She wanted to roll her eyes and laughed at the older man's reaction. Why is this man too stupid? Did he manage to survive this long because he was dependent on Chen Shi's plans?

"On the contrary... I am actually here to convince everyone to buy my shares!" Jennie said. "Honestly, I don't have any interest in the medical field. My interests lie in profits... and profits alone."

"Miss Jennie, the price that you want is too extravagant. We know that you simply want to profit and take advantage of us. We cannot allow you to do this. We are all businessmen here. I think it is best if..."

"You misunderstood." Jennie interrupted him. She eyes Ron's face as she slowly showed a flash drive in her hand. She tilted her head towards the other shareholders. "These gentlemen will make you decide if you will buy my shares or not." She grabbed the laptop in front of Thomas and immediately opened the files on the flash drive.

A smile crept up on her face.

"What is this?" one shareholder asked. It was easier for him to see the content of the flash drive as he was sitting next to Jennie. "Isaac and Ron..."

"What is it?" Ron grabbed the laptop from Jennie. Slowly, his complexion paled. His hands trembled. His wide eyes were glued to the screen.

"It's called... blackmail material." Jennie chimed in. She then leaned back and watched as chaos ensued. Shouting immediately began as the other shareholders grabbed the laptop so they could see its contents. Murmurs, yelling, and some surprised gasps. Everyone started talking to each other as they started asking Ron questions.

"Twenty-two cases?" One shareholder said. "How did you find out about this matter?" he asked.

"She is blackmailing us!"

"If this goes out of this room. We are dead!"

"How could you do this, Ron? Just..."

The shareholders all showed horror in their faces. But who are they trying to fool? Jennie knew that these people were all foxes. They must have known about this matter long ago but ignored it. After all... this is bringing them millions of profits.

The thing about some businessmen is that their moral values are sometimes blurred. Just like Jennie. If she was one of these people, she too would also try to fight to keep this secret buried. Just like these people, Jennie would act surprised as she sneered inwardly at the person who is blackmailing them.

She roamed her eyes at the people around the table. Even Thomas who was sitting next to her was visibly shaken by what she just showed everyone. She met his eyes. If this man thought that this was the bomb she was about to drop then he was wrong - so wrong.

"Well, the thing is... I wouldn't actually know about this matter if Ron- "

"What are you saying?" Ron interrupted her. The mention of his name seemed to send shivers down his spine. He couldn't help but wonder what kind of scheme Jennie is planning. Was she targeting him? Why?

"Mr. Liang... your expression hurts me." Jennie feigned a sad smile. "After what you told me... I just thought..."

"What the hell are you talking about?" he rose from his seat as his hand trembled.

"Uncle Ron? What is she saying?" Thomas furrowed his brows. His confused gaze mirrored the eyes of everyone else in the room. "What is going on?"

"I don't have any idea what this woman is talking about!" Ron hissed. "What are you trying to say?"
