Chapter 31 - Disgrace(3)

"Are you saying that you did not give her the letter, also, you didn't tell her about Mr Lu's misfortune?" Chunlan stared at her.

Ke Mingze shook her head. "No, I didn't. Huizhong, why are you treating my friend this way?" She glared at Mr Tang.

"Your friend has been cheating on me! She took some money nine months ago from my bank account and sent it to her lover! Today, I must divorce her!" He roared, slapping Haifeng across the cheek.

Ke Mingze felt that today was really Chinese New Year for her. Her expression turned from joy to horror in the snap of a finger. "Haifeng!"

"Mother!" The sisters gasped.

Haifeng laid on the floor, sobbing and groaning weakly. "I didn't steal from you. I didn't cheat on you....."

Ke Mingze rushed to her friend when she saw her faint. Huizhong sneered mockingly and left the room, his friend on his heels. Ke Mingze shouted at the sisters "Bring a medical kit! Call the police!"

Seeing the sisters leave the room, she looked around the room to make sure she was alone. She laughed to her heart's content "Haifeng! I knew you never thought that this day will come. The day of your downfall!"

She walked to a chair, gazing down at the body sprawled on the floor like a queen looking down on her subjects. "You may be beautiful but you are such a fool. You thought that you had it all but now, I have taken everything away from you!" She bent down on one knee with a vicious smile. "I will have your title, your children, your wealth and most of all....your husband."

She quickly fixed her expression when she heard the door open. The sisters rushed to their mother, attending to her trying to wake her up. Few minutes later, Haifeng's eyes fluttered. The police sirens could be heard approaching.

She stood up, leaving the girls with her mother. Huizhong entered the room, being accompanied by guards.

Ke Mingze put up a fierce expression. "Huizhong! Don't you dare touch her. I am warning you, the police is com-"

Huizhong snapped. "The police are indeed here but its not me who is going to jail."

She looked shocked. "Don't tell me you called the police to arrest your wife?!"

She could already see the end of Haifeng's reign and the beginning of her own era as the officers seized her friend....

"Mingze, wait!" Haifeng called out to her friend who was already walking out on her.

Ke Mingze turned with a sorrowful face, her heart rejoicing at the scene. "What is it, Haifeng? Don't worry, I won't leave you alone. I will-"

PAH!

Her head was whipped to the side as three ruthless slaps landed on her cheek. Her head buzzed as she lost her strength, falling on the cold floor.

The room went silent.

But was replaced almost immediately with laughter and cheers as the sisters and the servants nearby clapped for Haifeng.

"Mother, that was beautiful!" Chunying cheered.

"Impeccable!" Chunhua said.

"Three slaps is not enough, Mistress! How dare she try to make a fool out of the Tang family?" A servant bravely shouted.

Huizhong said with a solemn expression. "Officers, arrest her."

Ke Mingze struggled to free herself."What is happening? Why are you arresting me? You have no right!"

Chunlan smiled.. "This is the Tang family. So what if we just want to arrest you without reason? Who will defy us?"
