Chapter 94 - Dripping With Florals

While they were thinking various things about Sera, she was busy talking to Mr. Liu about the shares.

"So, you are still planning to leave the management behind to Mr. Quinn?"

"Yes." Honestly, she doesn't have the talent to manage a company. "I will remain in the background."

"Mr. Quinn would assign one of his people to do it."

"Hm…" Sera nodded. Speaking of people…. She turned towards the man who sat next to Mr. Liu. He was her new secretary. Chris told her that Ramik just arrived from abroad and immediately want to start working for her. Ramik was indeed more good-looking in person than in the photo. He was tall, tan, and ripped. He had deep-seated blue eyes and thin, attractive lips. Any woman would stare at someone like that.

"Madam… please stop staring."

'Huh?' Sera rested her chin on her palm as she smiled. And yes, he was shy too. She could see the man blushing. Cleodel Ramik should be near thirty. And he was still shy from her gaze. "Sorry… I have a habit of staring and please call me Sera or Miss Zhang." She responded, still smiling. She really does stare a lot. "Anyway, let's get back to our topic. I am going to sell my shares to Mr. Quinn and he would take care of everything else. I don't think I have a say about the rest of the business. He can do whatever he wants."

"Hmm. I understand." Mr. Liu nodded before sighing. "So the cases…"

"Yes, please file it. In public. Right now… In a few hours… someone will release the video online. It would spark a lot of rumors. Prepare your people. They would have to answer a lot of questions."

"Questions?"

"Well… I am not going to answer any questions from now on. I will refer them to my lawyer."

"You — " Lawyer Liu couldn't believe his ears. "Are you trying to kill me?"

"It's not like you don't have a lot of assistants in your firm. Just tell them I don't know who released the video and we are also investigating this matter. Of course, we will file the case tomorrow morning. Let's expect a lot of hate on this one."

"Hate?"

"Yes, Zhang Ying is a TV personality. She had a lot of fangs. She would surely cry and apologize on TV use her charisma to win the crowd. Moreover, my past will be revealed and people would start hating me for scheming against her in the past. Zhang Ying would not hesitate to reveal the past to defend herself."

"You — How are you still calm about this?" Lawyer Liu felt like Sera just dropped a major bomb on him. How was she still so calm?

"Mr. Liu… I never cared about my reputation. I have nothing to lose." And this is something that most people don't realize.

Mr. Liu sigh when he heard Sera's words. For some reason, a tinge of pity swirled in his eyes. Sera is smart and beautiful. Yet, her view of the world is too dark.

Even her new secretary, Mr. Ramik, couldn't help but pity this young madam. The two men sitting in front of her in the elegant cafe couldn't help but wonder what kind of things did she endure in the past to have such opinions in life. Silently, they promised to help her.

Seeing their reaction, Sera could only sigh inwardly. It was a misunderstanding!

Why does it feel like these two men pity her? She was the one scheming behind everyone's back! She doesn't deserve any sympathy, alright!

An awkward smile appeared on her face before she lowered her gaze and hid the confused look in her eyes. Evoking someone's pity wasn't really her plan, but she guessed… this would work too?

"Ah, Madam… Mr. Quinn arranged dinner for the two of you."

"Dinner?" People are still following her around. Edward's people, Zhang Ying's men, and even Mrs. Fu's spies. How could Chris arrange a dinner for her? "Where?"

"That… is just inside the house. But he hired the best chef and interior— "

"I understand." She didn't want to hear the rest of this man's words. She was sure that it would make her cringe! "Alright… then we should end the meeting now. Mr. Liu… you will accompany me tomorrow. The will reading is at one in the afternoon. Ramik and Dalgo will escort you to the house. We will go to the Zhang estate together."

"I understand." Mr. Liu nodded before he massaged his temple. "I will leave first. There is a lot of things to be done here."

"Alright."

Sera also left the cafe after a few minutes.

When she arrived at the mansion, Ramik excused himself and told her that his room was located at the back of the house. This was something that Mr. Quinn arranged for him. Even Dalgo left and made up some excuse. Sera shrugged and bid them goodbye.

Then she walked inside the house.

And just as she guessed, the interior of the house is now different. The moment her feet reached the hallway that would lead her to the living room, soft music wafted towards her. It was violin and while she isn't a big fan of music, she quite liked its calm sound.

"You're here?" Chris approached her. He was wearing a black suit and a lazy smile on his face. "Do you like it?"

She managed a curt nod. In fact, the place in front of her really looked different from the previous living room. Right now, it looked like a palace. Candlelights can be seen everywhere, a red carpet was placed from the hallway to the table that is in the middle of the room. Next to the carpets were Arch's that were decorated with flowers. The area was dripping with florals; it looked like it was some wedding from a magazine.

She expected dinner and some music, but damn… she never expected this extravagant display!
