After the Manoabn Conglomerate made its statement, Xiaolan did not show any sign of coordinating with the media for a reply.
She kept her silence no matter how much the media knocked on her doors. However, she did not stay idle either.
Her daily activities revolved around hurting her own father until he passed out from the pain.
For Xiaolan this pain was not enough, compared to what she had felt before. Her confusion and anger had made her attempt to commit suicide not just once. Until he couldn't take it anymore, she wanted Honglie to feel this pain and even double the amount of it
Xiaolan felt that her father had deserved all this. NO... He deserved more than this for abusing his own wife, for being greedy, for using everyone to his own advantage.. He deserved more.
"Too weak." Xiaolan muttered when she noticed that her father had already passed out after two hours of excruciating torture. She turned to the person who was watching over her father. "Clean him up and give him food to eat. I don't want him to die... yet."
She then made her way to the patio and fetched her phone from her pocket.
"How was it?" she asked.
"Some of the investors doesn't want to support you. I don't think we have enough influence to call for a board meeting."
Xiaolan instantly frowned. " Is it because of the article that Jennie has released?"
"Yes. Everyone is saying that they want evidence proving that Lisa did it."
Xiaolan directly cut off the call without saying anything. It was Jennie again.
That woman seemed to have the hobby of disturbing her plans. First, she let Marco announce that she owned RubyJane Corp. Now was the timely response that the Manoban Conglomerate had released.
It felt like Jennie knew everything. As if she was just waiting for Xiaolan to make a mistake.
She couldn't help but wonder if Jennie knew about her true gender. If she did then what was she planning to do next?
Xiaolan gritted her teeth in annoyance before making another call. "I want to leave this country, unnoticed."
"Copy that. How about your mother?"
"She will not leave with me." Of course her mother was not leaving, after all, she had killed her own husband and had poisoned her son. Xiaolan was certain that Zhang Liyin would rot in prison.
"Got it. Date?"
"Make it available for whenever I want."
"Anything else?"
"Inform Li Qiang that I failed. We need a new plan."
"Got it."
Then, the call was cut.
Xiaolan shoved the phone into her pocket and lit a cigarette. She needed a way to convince the board of directors to make her brother the next Patriarch of the Manoabn Conglomerate.
All of her previous plans were failing because of Jennie's involvement. She couldn't help but wonder what would have happened if she eliminated her. However, she knew that Li Qiang would not allow Jennie to die that easily.
The thought of Li Qiang made Xiaolan's mood even sourer.
That man approached her two years ago and enticed her to destroy the Manoabn Family as a revenge for what they had done to her.
Although Xiaolan did not understand why Li Qiang wanted to cause problems to the Manoabn Family, she agreed to his terms. After all, she was already a lost person, having a little revenge was not bad.
She let Li Qiang use her anger and manipulate her, hoping that she would get her revenge one day.
And she did... She had already gotten her revenge towards her father and brother. Now it was time for her mother to suffer.
