The Vicious Wife

I said you are STUPID

Preparations for the opening ceremony of Anne Group's headquarters and Harmony Isle, happening on the same day, had been smooth. It was not as chaotic as she thought it would be. Even though she didn't want to admit it, she knew that one of the reasons for this was because of Park Jimin's help and influence.

July 20th, Wednesday.

Roseanne had arranged for Park Jimin and George to meet at one of the upscale tea houses in Seoul. However, George informed her that he would be slightly late when she arrived at the venue. When she entered the private tea room, she was surprised to see that someone else was waiting for her inside.

"Surprise?" Yang Lina smiled at Roseanne before drinking her tea. She was wearing a yellow cheongsam dress, looking elegant as she sat with her legs crossed. "Please take a seat," she added when Roseanne didn't answer her.

"Where is my friend?" Roseanne immediately asked, though George informed her that he would be late, she wanted to know if Yang Lina arranged this 'coincidence' in advance.

"He will be directed to the tea room next to ours once he arrives. No worries," the latter answered. Roseanne scoffed inwardly, getting a sense of the latter's intentions.

"I can't say that I expected you here," Roseanne responded before walking towards the table. She gave Yang Lina a smile before she took a seat opposite the latter. "Is there something you want to talk about?"

"I can feel the change in you," Yang Lina stated. "Not just in the way you talk but..." She eyed Roseanne from head to toe. "The way you carry yourself."

"Thank you. I can feel it too." Roseanne smiled, watching Yang Lina as she thought back to the last time she interacted with this woman. Seven years ago, after Daniel and Jihyo revealed to her that she had fallen into Tang Ling's schemes, Yang Lina was the first person that she had approached to talk about the injustice that she had suffered. However, after listening to her explanation, the latter still did not open the gates to let her into the Kang Estate to see Daniel.

On her second visit to the Kang Estate, she begged to talk to Daniel but it was Yang Lina who met her instead. With a haughty and impatient look on Yang Lina's face, she told her how unworthy she was to even stand outside the Kang Estate, ordering her to leave. No matter how hard she cried for the latter to listen to her explanation, the latter simply walked away and didn't spare her another glance. Still, she didn't lose hope and even tried to talk to the woman for the third time but she didn't even show herself.

"I will go straight to the point. Abandon your plans for revenge against my son. It will not be fruitful for either of us."

'How bold,' Roseanne thought, raising an eyebrow.

"Are you not going to say a thing?" Yang Lina asked when Lily did not answer her.

"Do I need to?" Roseanne smiled, a glint flashed in her eyes.

Yang Lina smiled back knowingly. This was an obvious declaration that Roseanne would not stop her plans. Though she didn't have any proof that Roseanne was plotting something behind her back, she wanted to send her a warning nonetheless.

She never intended to meet Roseanne at first, thinking that the latter might think she feared her. However, after receiving Roseanne's invitation for Harmony Isle's launch event and knowing that Anne Group was opening its headquarters in Seoul, she realized that she needed to have a talk with Roseanne. For Roseanne to move her headquarters here could only mean that she was planning to stay in Seoul for a long time. This was not good news.

"Roseanne Anne... You should know that I am from the famous Yang family in South Korea. My family's influence is vast. It will not be good for either of us to fight. I want you to consider this properly," Yang Lina continued. With the Yang family behind her, she had the confidence to defeat Roseanne but she also knew that it would be a long and tiring battle.
