The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 227: Ominous Feeling

Ever since Hye Kyo and Jennie kicked out the Chen family from their household, it's been hell for their whole family. Not only did Jennie make sure to ruin Chen Li's future by sending her to a juvenile detention center, but she also made sure that Madam Chen wouldn't be able to find another job from another wealthy family.

The lavish lifestyle they used to enjoy had been taken away from them and just as Madam Chen thought they could leech on her cousin's fortune, Hye Kyo divorced Dong Wook and sued him for embezzlement. This effectively ruined all their hopes that they would be able to get back on their feet and sustain the lifestyle they were used to.

Three years after Chen Li was sent to the detention center, Madam Chen died from a heart attack after she was battered violently by her last employer. Meanwhile, Chen Ho dropped out from college and started to lead a dangerous life by joining a local mob in Qiying City.

It was already seven in the evening when Krystal reached the place where she knew she could find her second cousin. She had heard from the old aunty that was living next to Chen Ho's place that he was a frequent patron of this nightclub.

She hadn't seen nor talked to Chen Ho since her return and she wasn't sure if he would willingly help her, but she had no other choice but to try.

Taking one last glimpse at her reflection, Krystal made sure that her wig was in place. She even bothered to wear a pair of colored contact lenses to change the color of her eyes. She had a thick layer of makeup on her face and drew fake freckles over her nose and cheeks, just to make sure no one would be able to recognize her.

Her management had warned her specifically to avoid any confrontations or create a scene that could make the public hate her.

Hate her? Krystal scoffed inwardly. It wouldn't be that easy.

For her, men were easy to manipulate and take advantage of. She only needed to shed a few tears here and there, then act pitiful, and it was enough to evoke an overprotective streak in them. Women were a different matter, but it wasn't that hard to make fake assumptions and use them against each other.

She alighted her car and made her way to the entrance of the nightclub. She easily passed through the security and was met with a crowd and overly loud noise inside. The people were shoulder to shoulder, and they were swaying to the beat of the music.

Krystal looked around and grimaced. It would be hard for her to find Chen Ho in this place full of people. If he wasn't at the counter or the dancefloor, then he might be in one of the VIP booths she could never trespass. She pursed her lips and decided to observe first.

She ordered a drink and stared at the partying people. Krystal would have joined them if she didn't have any pressing matters on hand. She wasn't sure if Chen Ho would be able to help her in any way, but she also knew that her choices were limited at this moment.

"Well, well, well. I wouldn't have believed it if I didn't see you with my own eyes. What brought you to my turf, dear little cousin?" She heard a familiar voice.

Krystal turned her head and found Chen Ho next to the bartender, concocting his own drink from the vast selections of liquor behind him. He had a cocky smile on his face, and he looked expensive.

Based on his movements, she could tell that he knew what he was doing, as if he had already done this a hundred times.

"You own this place?" She blurted out in surprise, once his words sunk in her mind. Krystal hadn't expected that this little hooligan would be able to make a fortune on his own.

The man chuckled darkly and looked at her with mockery.

Krystal tried to rein her growing annoyance at her cousin. She reminded herself of the reason she came here.
