The CEO's Woman

Chapter 428 Cunning Tactics

"The Vercello family is lead by Antonio Pardi. He is your grandmother's husband." Wang Bolin started. "I'm not sure if your grandfather knows about this… but... your grandmother got married to that man after she gave birth to your uncle and mother."

Jiang Yue continued to listen intently to Wang Bolin's words as she inwardly contemplated and started creating plans against them.

"The Vercellos are powerful not only because of their money but because of their influence. They can bribe practically everyone around them. Kings and Presidents are nothing but slaves to them. They can cause chaos practically inside any country if they want to."

"Civil wars in some countries have been caused by the non-compliance of their leaders to the Vercellos request." Wang Bolin let out a deliberate mocking laugh before he continued. "Your mother never asked me about this, so I never told her certain things that our family know."

"The Vercello Family is not only running the pharmaceutical world but they also run almost all the banks in this world."

"You see? This is the reason they can easily make a country fall from its grace. They can alter the world market by attacking the country's economy. They can create a crisis and can change the economy of a country by simply increasing the cost of medications and the value of the currency."

"The cunning tactics of the Vercello Family are the reason they can practically run this world with their money alone."

"So… what did they told you when you choose to let go of what they asked you to do?" Jiang Yue asked. The fact that they let her mother do whatever she wanted was still bugging her. If her mother was the next heir, then why did they let her go after not getting married to Wang Bolin? "Tell me… is it because of the Organization which my mother has joined?" Jiang Yue continued.

A flash of surprise was seen in Wang Bolin's eyes before he gave Jiang Yue a smile. "They did not let her do what she wanted..."

"Don't you see it? They deliberately made a connection to the Li Family when they got to know that she was having a relationship with your father… by now… I assume that you already know who your father is, yes?"

Jiang Yue nodded.

"Good. Now… the Vercellos made a connection with the Li Family once. However, the connection was really subtle. They were only trying to check if the Li Family's power could threaten them. And when they realized that the Li Family did not worth their time, they moved on and schemed to make your mother leave your father."

"What do you mean?" She asked as she realized that her suspicions were indeed true. "They were the ones who ordered that explosion," she stated. "They did that to instill guilt to my mother. Is that what you are trying to say?"

"I am not certain about your last sentence. But I know that someone from the Vercello Family ordered that explosion. As who it was, I don't know."

"Moreover, this is not the first time that they have done something like that… the accident… when you were fifteen was also caused by the Vercellos. Then, the last time was the plan that involved the Li Family. They were… or at least someone was still targeting your mother." He continued explaining.

"How do you know all of this?" Jiang Yue asked.

"I may not be someone from the Ye Family anymore but I have worked closely with your mother before. I still have a little influence here and there," he answered.

Jiang Yue nodded at his answer. "That's all," she said as it came to her mind how this man in front of her was the one who had watched her grew up. He was a part of her childhood. Something that her real father could not have.

For some reason, Jiang Yue felt extreme loneliness in her heart. Because of her mother's actions her father was not able to watch her grow up. He was not able to spend time with her. He was alone, sitting on his throne, ruling a country, which people did not even know his real face. Wasn't that a little sad?

"One more thing..." Jiang Yue lifted her head and looked at Wang Bolin who was trying to silently walk out of the room.

"Yes… Young Miss?" This time, Wang Bolin's tone was exactly the same as it was before their conversation. It was respectful and polite.

"Can I call you…. Father?" Jiang Yue hesitated on her words. However, her eyes showed how resolute she was in her decision. Wang Bolin had been with her since she was a child, silently protecting her and her mother. He loved both of them just like his real family. For Jiang Yue, he deserved that title.

A surprised expression could be seen on Wang Bolin's face before it turned into a gentle smile.

"Of course… Yue. I have long considered you as my daughter." Then he opened the door and left the room.
