The Villain's Wife (Book 2)

"I- " Liu Chin furrowed her brows as she wondered if Lisa was only playing with her emotions. Was he making fun of her? "It should be Jennie." Certainty apparent in her voice. "She is shallow and petty. She wants to cause chaos simply because some women in the community wanted to see her closet. She is too illogical."

"I see." Lisa nodded. "You can leave now." He said.

"Then- What about Jennie?"

"What about her?"

"I- nevermind!" Liu Chin uttered. "I hope you will deal with her accordingly," She added before leaving his office. At least, she was able to accomplish her goal in coming here today. Liu Chin immediately called her brother's number. After a few rings, his groggy voice reached her ears.

"What?" he asked.

"You are drunk?"

"Not yet." He answered. "What is it?"

"Where are you now?"

"Why do you care?"

"Elder brother... are you in your flat? I am coming!" She ended the call without giving him the chance to decline. She gritted her teeth as she left LM Capital.

Seeing her brother like this was just heartbreaking. Liu Chin immediately drove towards Gannon's flat and used a key card that he gave her when he bought this place. A loud sigh escaped her lips. She would do everything to help her brother out.

...

The thick smell of alcohol assaulted Liu Chin's senses the moment she walked inside his flat. She furrowed her brows, her eyes scanning the mess in front of her. "Elder brother!" She gasped when she saw him, lying on the couch, shirtless. "Are you alright?"

"Why are you here?" His brows furrowed, irritation apparent in his tone. "Leave me alone Chin."

"Brother... listen... I did something to help you out. I went- "

"I don't care." He interrupted her.. "Leave me alone."

"Elder brother... you are still drunk. You said- " She said when she realized that his breath still smelled of alcohol. She eyed the empty bottle of alcohol lying near him and let out a long sigh. "If you keep this up, you will get sick. I understand that you are angry... but... please take care of yourself." Her voice turned gentle.

She let out another sigh before she added. "Come... Go sleep in your room while I clean this place up." She nudged her arm, "Brother... let's go... I will help you up."

"What are you doing?" Gannon hissed. "I told you to stay away from me."

"I was only trying to help you out! Why are you being so cruel?" Unable to stop herself, Liu Chin blurted. She could feel her face turned scarlet as tears pooled in her eyes. "I just want to help you out! Is that so wrong?"

"Shut it Liu Chin." Gannon said. He opened his eyes and glared at his younger sister. After a few seconds he pushed her hand off him. He rose from his seat and grabbed a half empty bottle. "Leave me alone." He walked towards his room.

"Brother..." Liu Chin followed him. She tried to grab the bottle of alcohol away from him, but it was futile. Her strength is not even half his. "Stop drinking... you need to rest. Why don't you sleep? I will make a soup for you to avoid- "

"Can you stop acting like you care? Stop pretending will you?" He hissed. "Stop this- whatever this is... grandfather said that I am no longer a part of the family! You should stay away from me."

Tears started streaming down her cheeks as she shook her head. "No. Please.... "

"Stop it. You are a coward! Mother, father and even you did not even try to help me out in front of grandfather! All of you- are cowards!"
