The Vicious Wife

Beauty hurts

Meanwhile, the one who was responsible for the chaos in the Yang Family was calmly reading a book as her husband massaged her foot.

"If it hurts this much then why don't you stop wearing six-inch high stilettos? It's not as if someone would call you out for wearing a shoe with two inch heels," Park Jimin said as he gently kneaded Roseanne's ankle.

"Makes us feel more confident, sexy, and beautiful," Roseanne answered nonchalantly.

"But they are tiring and your feet hurt at night."

"Beauty hurts, President Park," Roseanne rolled her eyes.

"Heels or not, you are already beautiful," he stated. The gentleness and concern in his voice instantly made Roseanne smile.

"No worries. Next time I feel tired while walking in my stilettos I'll ask you to carry me," Roseanne said.

"Alright,." he agreed, earning another smile from Roseanne.

"Hey... why don't you stop working and just follow me around? Then you can carry me when I am tired. I will double your salary as the CEO of your company."

In response, Park Jimin stroked his chin and stopped kneading her foot. He looked at her with a gentle smile on his face. "You've made me a very attractive offer there, Mrs. Park. I am seriously considering it right now."

"Of course you should consider..." Roseanne's words were interrupted when her phone rang. Park Jimin immediately got up to get it for her.

"Cathy?" Roseanne said the moment she answered the call. Then a sinister smile slowly bloomed on her face. "Alright. You can release it now."

At the hospital,

Yang Lina immediately opened her phone and looked at everyone before walking out of the room. The caller was Kang Daniel, and Yang Lina already knew the purpose of his call.

Yang Lina quickly assured her son that everything would be alright and that the video was fake. Photoshopping someone into a video these days was easy to do. Moreover, it is pretty normal for a politician like Kang Zeng to have enemies who would want to destroy his career. Yang Lina knew that with his team of advisers, Kang Zeng must have already come up with a solution to this video by now.

After Yang Lina ended the call she received further calls from her friends asking her about the situation, just as Daniel had done, but she quickly told them that it was nothing but a scheme to taint Kang Zeng's career. Of course, with Yang Lina's calm voice, all of her friends easily believed her.

...

"She hurt her brother?" Roseanne raised an eyebrow at Park Jimin. It was already eleven in the evening and she was preparing to sleep when they received a call from one of his people telling them that Yang Sen had been rushed to the hospital. Unfortunately his people were unaware if Yang Sen was still alive, but it had been firmly established that Yang Lina was the one who hurt him. "Well... that was easy," Roseanne concluded.

"Something else is going on here," Park Jimin said before lying down next to Roseanne. "I already asked my men to investigate further. Also, I've had someone contact Mr. Martin to schedule a quick Skype Call tomorrow."

"Alright," Roseanne said as she gazed at the ceiling. Park Jimin had a point. A normal brother would try and help his sister at a time like this. Roseanne was actually waiting for the Yang Family to aid Yang Lina before she would ask Park Jimin to start with his plans. But this.... Isn't this just too quick?

Did Yang Sen choose to abandon his sister over some video? That would be impossible. "Hey... what do you think will happen to Yang Lina once she loses the support of the Yang Family?" she wondered out loud.

"Why are you concerned about her now?" Park Jimin asked. "Are you regretting putting your grand plan into action?"

"Of course not. Plus, I am not the one doing it. It's you, ah."

"Well... you are the brain and I am the brawns. Aren't we just perfect for each other?" Park Jimin laughed before he hugged Roseanne.

"Too perfect," she said in a low voice.

"You know, when you came back I never expected you to cause storm after storm in this country. First, the Tangs, now the Yangs and tomorrow the Li. Tell me, my little wife, are you planning to purge every family who offended you?"

"So what if I am?" Roseanne countered. This was not her intention, alright? Purging was too far-fetched. She just wanted to give those people a little taste of what she'd experienced at their hands.

Aug 01, Monday

At eight in the morning big news shook the Li Industries. The second biggest shareholder, Park Capital, began selling their shares at a very low price, instantly making Li Jung Wang and Li Yeonjun panic. Today was supposed to be Li Jung Wang happy birthday, but instead he started his day livid with rage.

"This is all your fault!" Li Jung Wang hissed at Tang Ling the moment he entered their room. Tang Ling was still in bed in her pyjamas.

"What did I..."

"I already told you to call Roseanne and apologize! Beg her if you must! Now Park Jimin is targeting the Li Industries because of your dumb actions!" he yelled as he pointed a finger at his wife.

"I already tried to call her but she refused to talk to me," Tang Ling said. "What happened? How could Park Jimin target you?"

"You stupid woman! Go call your daughter. Ask her to convince Kang Daniel to buy all the shares before  other shareholders begin selling their stocks out of panic!"

"B-But..."

"No more buts! Call Jihyo now! Then get dressed immediately! We are going to see Roseanne right now!"

"Wang! I am ...."

"Shut up and follow my instructions Tang Ling or I swear you will end up on the street with your son!" he spat out before storming out of their room. He needed to talk to Roseanne and Park Jimin and he would do anything and everything to appease their anger right now.

"You are coming with me," he told Li Yeonjun, who also had a very dark look on his face.

"That woman is so vicious!" Li Yeonjun said.
