The Villain's Wife 524 To Trust One Person

"Lily fainted and was rushed to the hospital," Chen s.h.i.+'s right-hand man, Chen Luan snickered as he delivered the news. "I was not able to find out the reason behind this… but my guess is it had something to do with the news at that time."

"Really?" A cruel smirked escaped Chen s.h.i.+'s lips. "How weak." She mocked. "Is this her first time having this kind of issue?"

"My guess is yes. She never had an issue with actresses in Europe. She attends events but does not really interact with them."

"That's because she looks down on them." Chen s.h.i.+ smiled. "Call Qiao Qiao. Tell her she did an outstanding job. The contract is ready for her."

"Are you really going to sign her with the company?" He furrowed her brows. "She is a bit stupid and too ambitious. While her talents are mediocre at best. She is not really that beautiful compared to other artists in her generation. Even that Cindy Hao is more beautiful than her."

"Luan… she is a p.a.w.n." Chen s.h.i.+ smiled. "p.a.w.ns exists to protect the king."

"But p.a.w.ns are basically useless."

"She is powerless." She nodded at his words. "But p.a.w.ns can be very useful. They always end up dying in the end but… they are extremely good as decoys and sacrifices."

Shen Luan nodded and beamed at her. "Elder cousin is really smart. I will remember your teachings." He laughed. "So the contract…"

"Put Cindy Hao's name in that contract. Qiao Qiao needed a little push. One of these days, I want you to accidentally show that contract to her. Make her realize that we are also eying Cindy Hao. Her jealousy will then consume her."

"Anger and jealousy is an excellent motivation, right?" Chen Luan nodded in approval at his cousin's brilliant mind. "Alright… I will update you if I have something new."

Meanwhile, Cindy Hao and her sister are also experiencing some problems.

"Look at what you did! Qiao Qiao actually got two of my endors.e.m.e.nts!" Cindy blurted. She stumped on her bed and pouted at her sister. "Those were really important to me!"

"Are they as important as your career?" Manager Hao countered. "Would you rather have someone like Miss Lily and President Zhou as an enemy?"

"The script said that I don't have to mention her name! Just use some vague words about the matter and the media will fill in the details for me!" Cindy's face turned ugly. "Look at what you did? With or without that press conference, her name was still out there and I can't even go to my taping because of the media outside! Plus, I also lost the endors.e.m.e.nt that could have helped me for the awards!" Her face reddened as she glared at her sister.

"You did this because you prefer Qiao Qiao over me, right!?" she added as she rose from her seat. "If you really like her over me then why did you come back here in China?"

"Cindy… will you stop this? Can you be logical for a while?" Manager Hao walked towards her sister. "Let's not involve ourselves in this matter. CEO Yu is only looking for someone that will act as Lily's target while he works on boosting Qiao Qiao's name. This is all a game for him. Cindy, in this world full of schemes you should always use your brain and think about the long-term effects of things."

"What do you mean?" Cindy asked.

"Didn't you notice? Qiao Qiao was acting really kind to you. She asked to have your makeup team, and you easily agreed even if the company told you that those people are for you only. You even agreed to lend some of your high-end clothes and pieces of jewelry that was gifted by prominent people! Do you think they will be happy if they saw her wear those clothes and jewelry?"

Cindy stared at her sister, confused.

"Cindy… she is digging a grave for you!" This resulted from Manager Hao's a.n.a.lysis after her conversation with Lily. "At first, I was not sure. But, Lily's words woke me up from all these… schemes that are about to happen. This press conference and endors.e.m.e.nt is the final straw that made me realize that Qiao Qiao is planning something behind our backs. She is involved in all this." She pulled her sister toward the couch.

"Didn't she asked you if you could give those endors.e.m.e.nts a while back? This was before both of you were nominated. You immediately said yes. Why is that? Because you never thought that her name will be included in this year's nomination."

Cindy silently nodded at her sister's words.

"Why is that?" Manager Hao asked. "Because you underestimated her. Am I right? She is good. But you still underestimated her. This is because you are so naive. She acted weak in front of you. She praised you and boosted your ego, letting you think that you are above her."

"That — " Cindy turned speechless as her sister's words. Every word that Manager Hao said was actually true! She had underestimated Qiao Qiao because she looks so weak and simple. She always acknowledged that Cindy is more talented than her. Qiao Qiao actually praised her in everything that she does. She also never failed to send her flowers every time she signed a new contract or endors.e.m.e.nts.

"See? All this time, she had been manipulating you and me. She must have been laughing at us behind our backs. To her… we are p.a.w.ns- stupid people that she can easily manipulate."

"Sister…" Cindy widened her eyes when she realized how stupid she had been. "What are we going to do now? Those issues won't stop if I don't say something about it. I can't just let them…" Cindy did not continue her words when she saw her sister shook her head.

"We don't need to do anything." Manager Hao uttered.

"But… We can't trust CEO Yu or anyone about this matter! This will only earn Lily and her husband's ire."

"We don't have to trust anyone else. We only need to trust one person… and that is Lily."
