The Vicious Wife

Naïve and stupid

Seeing that everyone was staring at her with rage apparent in their eyes, Roseanne straightened her back and also stared back at every single one of them. With the same beautiful smile plastered on her face, she confidently look into their eyes. Years ago, this family abandoned her at her lowest. Although, Roseanne was not really doing this on purpose...

Scratch that.

Of course, Roseanne was doing this on purpose. But she was not doing this because she still hated these people. She was just looking for a little fun ah. Seeing their faces dropped, their mouths agape from shock was actually making Roseanne really happy. This was just too fun for her, she could do this everyday.

For six years now, Roseanne had conditioned herself to mask all her emotions and adapt according to the situation. No matter what the situation was, she would still put on a smile on her face while she worked her brilliant mind to scheme and look for the best solution. No doubt, her maternal grandmother, Lily Anne had been a great influence on her, grooming her to who she was today. In this current situation, she saw an opportunity to earn more money.

Her maternal grandmother had always told her that the best way to win was to make your enemy underestimate you. And the best way to have them lower their guard was to act naïve and stupid. Although this might make them fumed in anger, it was all part of the plan. After all, when people are angry, it would affect their ability to think clearly.

In Europe, most businessmen who had dealings with Roseanne would know how good she was at making them see red. It wasn't the condescending way she would look at you, nor her catchy comebacks, rather, it was her smile. It made many wonder how a smile, something beautiful, could make people lose their cool. Perhaps if they got to see her smile themselves one day, they would understand.

"Since you cannot afford this amount, then there is no point in continuing this conversation," she added, waking everyone up from their stupor.

"Rosella Lilian, I know that you are somehow associated with someone influential from the business world in South Korea," Daniel said. When Guang informed him that Rosella is the same woman who wanted to sell the donut for an extravagant amount, he already assumed that Rosella must have somehow got lucky and latched onto someone of influence in South Korea.

Seeing her act like a dandy young mistress right now only proved his assumption.

"So?" Roseanne asked.

"The Kang family is widely known in the business circle. I'm sure you know that I could easily bankrupt the company that you are working in," Kang Daniel said confidently. Since this woman refused to be sensible, he had to resort to threats.

"What are you talking about?" Jihyo asked.

"Well... I guess this should not be a secret to everyone. Rosella here is associated with a business personality here in South Korea. Remember the woman who wanted to sell the donut for a hundred thousand dollars?" When Jihyo nodded, Daniel continued. "That woman was Rosella Lilian."

A flash of disbelief was seen on everyone's face. Since Jihyo was pregnant, everyone in the Li family had been pampering her like a child and giving her everything she wanted. But two days ago, Jihyo had made a ruckus about the woman who disrespected her and asked her father to find the identity of the woman. Everyone was angry on Jihyo's behalf. Who would have thought that it was actually Rosella Lilian?"

"So you are resorting to threats now." Roseanne smirked. "Well then... I will just have to wait for you to contact my company and ask them to fire me, Master Kang."

"For now, I will be taking my leave. I don't want to waste any more time here with you all. After all, I have to find someone to marry so that I could get that other half of Grandfather's properties." Roseanne got up from her seat and roamed her eyes at everyone. "It was nice seeing all of you. I hope not to see any of you ever again."

Then she gave them a smirk before walking out of the door, leaving the furious Li family behind.

Seeing that Roseanne had left, everyone seemed to have woken up from their daze and started eyeing each other, each waiting for the other to say something. Roseanne had left just like that! It was too quick and abrupt that no one was able to stop her in time!

This was a very surprising turn of events for everyone. Not only had Roseanne returned, she acted like she owned the place and made everyone feel uncomfortable in her presence. Having not seen Roseanne for many years, no one expected to see such a big change in her.

"I want you to dig up everything about a woman named Rosella Lilian. She should be from Europe. Yes... Okay. I understand." Daniel gritted his teeth before ending the call with his personal secretary. How dare Rosella Lilian challenged him?

....

The moment Roseanne took a step out of the mansion, she immediately put on her shades and sauntered towards her beetle.

"Let's go," she said, after buckling her seatbelt.

"Where to President Lilian?" Lia asked.

"I am feeling good today. Let's eat something nice," Roseanne said while checking her tablet. "Oh... one more thing. I want you to schedule a meeting with Mr. Park of the Park Capital. Tell him it's about the Li Enterprises."

Seeing Lia nod, Roseanne continued. "How about that invitation that I asked you before? Were you able to find out about President Park's recent event invitations?"

"Yes, President Park will be attending a fundraising event on the first week of July. It's a fundraising event for various orphanages in South Korea. According to my research, President Park seems to pay particular attention to fundraising events with orphanages as the beneficiary. I asked Mr. Jung for his help and was able to secure an invitation for the event," Lia explained.

"Good. Very Good..." Roseanne nodded. "I'm sure President Park is a very busy man. It might be difficult to schedule an appointment with him on such a short notice. Perhaps I should make use of this upcoming event to build some connections first," Roseanne thought out loud.

Grandmother Ye had only given her two percent of the shares in Li Enterprises because she knew that the company was suffering and did not seem to have the ability of recovering. However, Roseanne had other plans for the company.

Of course, for her to execute her plans, she would need to convince President Park to sell her his shares in Li Enterprises.

With this in mind, Roseanne closed her eyes and started to think about possible ways to deal with the infamous President Park of the Park Capital.
