The Vicious Wife

Elegance and Money

Without waiting for Roseanne to say anything, Lia started explaining how the truck seemed to be waiting for them and how the truck driver made sure not to hit the car in a way that would turn it over. It was as if... the driver calculated the impact as well as the right place to hit the car, making sure that they would only get bruises and some small wounds. Even Bambam, who was driving, only received a few bruises.

The only reason why Secretary Han received such wounds is because he noticed the approaching truck and removed his seat belt so he could protect Lia in his arms. Though a little heroic, Lia also told Roseanne how she found this action a little stupid. Why take your seatbelt off to try and protect someone other than yourself?

Of course, Lia had been around Roseanne for so long that she had developed some of Roseanne's selfish traits, but this didn't mean that Lia did not appreciate the man's efforts.

Because of this, Roseanne asked her to stay in the hospital for now so she could take care of Han Jisung. The man also grew up in an orphanage and had no one to take care of him. Lia reluctantly agreed to Roseanne's request, however, she also made sure that Roseanne would be taken care of and repeatedly asked Park Jimin not to let Roseanne go anywhere by herself.

"You have been through a lot. You should rest. The room has two beds in it. Bambam will also be around to buy everything that is needed here," Roseanne said while staring at the bandages on Lia's hands. Apparently, the latter was hit by some shattered glass during the accident. While this was a little wound compared to the shattered glass that went into Secretary Han's back, Roseanne still insisted on Lia to getting some rest.

"President, please leave now. I can take care of myself. The launch will start in less than an hour," Lia said. In response, Roseanne nodded and looked at Park Jimin. The duo then walked out of the room to find Bambam waiting for them.

Just like Lia, Bambam only had a bit of bruising and some bandages on his head. The doctor said that he could go home at any time.

"President, Madam." Bambam made a low bow before Park Jimin instructed him to stay for a while and get everything that Secretary Han and Lia needed. While this was happening, Roseanne also made some calls to George and told him about what happened.

"He said it will take him a day or two to find out about the driver," Roseanne said. They were already on their way to the hotel.

"I can do it in a day," Park Jimin said, earning a nod from Roseanne. George just took over the Tang Family's business and it was expected that he would have to deal with some hostility within the organization. After all, he is from the west and because of this his network right now is not as strong as Park Jimin's.

"Do you think that..."

"Yes, I do," Park Jimin interrupted her question. "And I am going to find out who had the audacity to attempt to hurt you."

"Yang Lina," Roseanne uttered. Her voice was low, but it was enough for Park Jimin to hear. "If I were Yang Lina, this would be my best course of action."

"I will investigate. If she really is the culprit then... I will deal with her," Park Jimin said his face as cold as his tone. Although Roseanne wanted to voice her objections and tell him about her original plan, she ended up nodding at his words. She understood how angry he had become... and to be honest, she also wanted to see his capabilities.

"The Yang Family won't be an easy opponent," Roseanne said. "Lia no longer cares about them so you can do whatever you want. However, those people have connections to the government. I'm afraid..."

"They can't do anything to me." His declaration earned a raised eyebrow from Roseanne. Seeing that he had no plans to elaborate, Roseanne chose not to ask either. Since Park Jimin said this then he must be confident that he can do something about them.

"Check out the folder in the back of the car. I am planning to give that to J Hope," he said. Roseanne immediately took the document and an expression of utter shock registered on her face. She continued to read the document and looked at Park Jimin.

"Why would you give this to J Hope? Wait! How did you know it?"

"So he would know the identity of his strongest competition," Park Jimin answered nonchalantly, "Your friend is such a coward. He needs a challenge. And that challenge won't be an easy one."

A flash of understanding could be seen in Roseanne's eyes. She then decided to changed the topic, "When will we arrive at the hotel?"

"Five minutes."

The convention hall of Hilltop Hotel and Resort can accommodate as many as a thousand people, and this is where Roseanne is holding the official launch of the new Head Office of the Anne Group as well as announcing the opening date of the revamped Harmony Isle.

"I'm going to go and talk to some people. You behave - and don't attract too much attention," Li Jung Wang whispered into Tang Ling's ears.

"Alright," Tang Ling nodded while eyeing the black carpet that was laid all over the venue. Seeing her nod, Li Jung Wang immediately led her and Li Yeonjun to their assigned tables before leaving with Yeonjun to talk to some of his friends.

Tang Ling's eyes roamed the whole venue as hate and anger started to sprout inside her. In front of Tang Ling was a venue that was only seen in Hollywood movies. From the black carpet to the crystals hanging from the ceiling, this place screamed nothing short of elegance and... money. She wondered how much Roseanne spent on all these decorations just to impress the guests.

Tang Ling gritted her teeth as she thought about Roseanne being richer and more prominent than her, then a smug smile slowly appeared on her face. 'Let's see how long that despicable Rosella Lilian can maintain all this,' she mused as she metally finessed her evil schemes.
