The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife 517 She is Framing Me!

"Oh! No." Lily’s knowing smile immediately made Ron nervous. "Why would I do that? I mean... If I sell the shares to the other company, I would lose the fifteen percent that I want." She wanted to roll her eyes and laughed at the older man’s reaction. Why is this man too stupid? Did he manage to survive this long because he was dependent on Chen Shi’s plans?

"On the contrary... I am actually here to convince everyone to buy my shares!" Lily said. "Honestly, I don’t have any interest in the medical field. My interests lie in profits... and profits alone."

"Miss Lily, the price that you want is too extravagant. We know that you simply want to profit and take advantage of us. We cannot allow you to do this. We are all businessmen here. I think it is best if..."

"You misunderstood." Lily interrupted him. She eyes Ron’s face as she slowly showed a flash drive in her hand. She tilted her head towards the other shareholders. "These gentlemen will make you decide if you will buy my shares or not." She grabbed the laptop in front of Thomas and immediately opened the files on the flash drive.

A smile crept up on her face.

"What is this?" one shareholder asked. It was easier for him to see the content of the flash drive as he was sitting next to Lily. "Isaac and Ron..."

"What is it?" Ron grabbed the laptop from Lily. Slowly, his complexion paled. His hands trembled. His wide eyes were glued to the screen.

"It’s called... blackmail material." Lily chimed in. She then leaned back and watched as chaos ensued. Shouting immediately began as the other shareholders grabbed the laptop so they could see its contents. Murmurs, yelling, and some surprised gasps. Everyone started talking to each other as they started asking Ron questions.

"Twenty-two cases?" One shareholder said. "How did you find out about this matter?" he asked.

"She is blackmailing us!"

"If this goes out of this room. We are dead!"

"How could you do this, Ron? Just..."

The shareholders all showed horror in their faces. But who are they trying to fool? Lily knew that these people were all foxes. They must have known about this matter long ago but ignored it. After all... this is bringing them millions of profits.

The thing about some businessmen is that their moral values are sometimes blurred. Just like Lily. If she was one of these people, she too would also try to fight to keep this secret buried. Just like these people, Lily would act surprised as she sneered inwardly at the person who is blackmailing them.

She roamed her eyes at the people around the table. Even Thomas who was sitting next to her was visibly shaken by what she just showed everyone. She met his eyes. If this man thought that this was the bomb she was about to drop then he was wrong — so wrong.

"Well, the thing is... I wouldn’t actually know about this matter if Ron— "

"What are you saying?" Ron interrupted her. The mention of his name seemed to send shivers down his spine. He couldn’t help but wonder what kind of scheme Lily is planning. Was she targeting him? Why?

"Mr. Liang... your expression hurts me." Lily feigned a sad smile. "After what you told me... I just thought..."

"What the hell are you talking about?" he rose from his seat as his hand trembled.

"Uncle Ron? What is she saying?" Thomas furrowed his brows. His confused gaze mirrored the eyes of everyone else in the room. "What is going on?"

"I don’t have any idea what this woman is talking about!" Ron hissed. "What are you trying to say?"

"Well, Mr. Liang is actually interrupting me all the time. How could I say what I want to say?" she pouted before she chuckled. Her gaze turned serious. "Did you think you can just blackmail me without any consequences?"

"What are you talking about!?" The sudden realization hit Ron. Lily is trying to frame him! She wanted to tell everyone that he was the one who caused this! He felt rage surged inside his blood.

"Mr. Liang? You caused this?" Almost immediately, the shareholders started asking questions.

"What did you do, Ron!?"

Of course, everyone would think that Lily was only retaliating. After all... she was someone whose status is higher than every one of them. Why would she waste her time playing around if someone did not offend her?

"Lily! Stop lying! Why are you dragging my name into this?"

Lily only responded with a smile as she tapped her phone. Everyone lowered their voices as a recording played.

"Those are images of you bullying Demi on the balcony. The other’s are the articles that I am planning to release once you won’t help me kick Thomas out of the company. I will let the world know that he r*ped her."

Ron’s voice echoed inside the room. It was followed by Lily’s voice. Back and forth, the two argued and talked about framing Zhou Jingren if she won’t help Ron get rid of every Lee in the Lee Group.

"That is not true!" Ron yelled. He reached out to grab Lily’s phone. However, she was quick enough to put it in her bag. "Stop lying! You b*tch! That is not true!" Ron’s face turned red in rage. He gritted his teeth as he watched the faces of everyone surrounding him.

This was not true! The one on the audio was not him! "I didn’t do it!" he uttered. "I didn’t talk to this woman! She is lying!" He pointed a finger at Lily. "She is framing me!"

"Please... Ron... let’s stop the pretense. Why else would Demi just disappear in the face of the Earth if you did not hide her? Just to keep her away from me?" Lily added some oil to the fire. She eyed the frozen Thomas and smirked. "Mr. Lee... Do you have any opinions about this matter?"

The smile hung on Lily’s lips as she thought about the recording. Lily recorded this conversation when Isaac Lee talked to her about the divorce a few weeks back. She only changed a few things and had her brother adjusted the voice and Bam! She already had something that would make Ron leave the company on his own accord.

Isn’t she lucky to have a brother like Qin Yuanfeng?
