The Villain's Wife

The Villain's Wife Chapter 15: King of Shamelessness

After Lily left GC Jewels, she decided to stroll around Scarlet City and take note of the prominent brands that had a store in this mall.

Meanwhile, a certain master was trembling while looking at the photos in his hands. In the photos, Lily was seen in close proximity to Liam Arison, her hand rested on his shoulders and a beautiful smile could be seen on her face. If one were to look at the photo without knowing the context, it would be easy to arrive at the conclusion that Lily was looking lovingly at her beloved.

"You told me the engagement is already cancelled." Zhuo Jingren stated before crumpling a photo slowly in his hand. "Then why is she still smiling at him like this?"

Secretary Go stared at his boss. His eyes full of disbelief. How should he know why Miss Qin was smiling? There was no way that he could read her mind ah!

"Answer me!" he hissed, almost making Secretary Go jump.

"President… I… I heard that Mr. Arison had asked to talk to Miss Qin in private but she outrightly refused," he answered, hoping this information could somehow pacify his unreasonable boss. "Mr. Arison had already left for London after the meeting… Shall we target their remaining subsidiaries in Hong Kong?" Secretary Go broke into a sweat. He knew that he needed to tread lightly if he were to continue talking to him. At this moment, it felt as if his heart was stuck in his mouth, and he didn't know what else he could say to appease his enraged boss. Just as Secretary Go was mulling over what to say next, he felt that the temperature in the room suddenly turn a few degrees colder. He then eyed the room's thermostat and checked the temperature, there was no change in the temperature since he entered the room.

"Do you want him to come back here and bug Jinghua again?" Zhuo Jingren harrumphed. Why would he create an opportunity for Lily to see that person again?

"President… I was just…"

"Enough!" Zhuo Jingren interrupted him, his eyes once again landed on the crumpled photograph in front of him. "Has her secretary make the call yet?"

"Negative," Secretary Go answered. "However, they have started to look into the background of all the big shareholders of Qin Enterprises. Also… our men told us that someone from Europe is trying to dig up information about you. If my guess is right… then it should be Miss Qin and her people." Seeing Zhuo Jingren's face ease a little, Secretary Go let out a sigh of relief.

"Alright… That's good enough. I will give her one more day to call me and schedule an appointment." Zhuo Jingren's cheeky grin somehow surprised his secretary. He had been with Zhuo Jingren ever since he left the orphanage ten years ago. However, this was the first time that Secretary Go saw his boss smiling like this.

What a moody boss!

Secretary Go was certain that his boss is in love with Miss Qin. However, he really wanted to knock some sense into his boss. How could he give Miss Qin a deadline to contact him? Was she even aware that he was waiting for her call? This… The president was really being unreasonable ah.

Secretary Go could only sigh at his boss's behavior. Perhaps love could really make one silly, even someone as smart as President Zhuo was not immune to the effects of love. That's right, Lily Qin was the first woman that caught his president's interest. Secretary Go could never forget how their enemies had maliciously released a rumor that President Zhuo was bent. This rumor had caused a ruckus in the business world. After all, this country was not as open as the other countries in the west.

In fact, this rumor was still circulating till this day. Since President Zhuo did not spare any efforts to refute the rumor or speak up to clear his name, many of their enemies had been using this rumor to discredit him in the business world.

"I want you to start preparing the documents to transfer my shares in Qin Enterprises to Lily. Do this as soon as possible." Zhuo Jingren's words woke his secretary up from his stupor.

"Eh?" Secretary Go stared at President Zhuo. Transfer of shares?

"These shares will just be one of my betrothal gifts to her… plus when I bought them, I already had the intention to gift them to her when she returns. She could play around with them and do whatever she wants with the shares for all I care." President Zhuo's shameless words made his secretary embarrassed. What betrothal gifts? You haven't even had your first meeting, yet!

Such shamelessness! Secretary Go knew that the president had bought the shares to undermine the Qin family and make them suffer. How could he say that he had bought them for Miss Qin to play with? Ah… President ah. This was the first time that Secretary Go discovered that his president was not only a genius in the business world but also the king of shamelessness.

"It will be done." Secretary Go could only nod at President Zhuo's command. Though President Zhuo was a little shameless, Secretary Go still worshipped him like a god. This was not known to the public but… President Zhuo and Secretary Go grew up in the same orphanage. However, unlike Secretary Go who left only when he turned eighteen, the president left when he turned sixteen. Then, he came back two years later to hire his friend as his secretary.

Another two years later, Zhuo Jingren bought the said orphanage and established a security agency with the mission of employing the kids when they had grown up. Many years later, this security agency was now the top security agency employing thousands of orphans from the same orphanage.

Everyone from the orphanage knew this and was looking to Zhuo Jingren like he was a god. Of course, this was only because they did not know that there was a peculiar side to President Zhuo when it came to Lily Qin.
