The Villain's Wife Chapter 570 An Accomplished Woman

The Villain's Wife 570 An Accomplished Woman

"I understand." Old Man Yu answered, his gaze straight towards the young man who is not even half his age yet. "However… my family's matter…"

"Provoking her was their mistake. You already know this. Let them suffer or we will intervene." The young man said unamused. The friendly vibe that he used to have vanished. "She is an accomplished woman. She will handle this with… grace." He added. He was specifically here to warn the old man not to break their rules.

True, standing in the room with a woman like Lily can sometimes put pressure on them. After all, it is indeed very tempting to tell her everything that she needed to know and watch her eyes widened in amazement. However, they needed to follow the rules. Lily is not mature enough for the role. She still needed a couple of years to mature and become strong enough just like her late grandmother.

"She is… just like Lilian." Old Man Yu nodded. "When… I first saw her��� it was as if I was talking to Lilian. It is amazing how she could teach Lily to think just like her."

"This is good. Lilian was an excellent woman." Just like every human being, Lilian made mistakes in the past too. Her biggest one was probably ruining her relations.h.i.+p with her daughter just to try and marry her to someone that is not a.s.sociated with the organization. As a mother, it is only reasonable for Lilian to try marrying her own daughter off to someone that is not after her power and position.

The brotherhood actually understood her actions. Her daughter might be smart, but… she was unlike her. Bec was naive, and it would be very easy to target her just to get to her mother. If her daughter takes over her seat, there is no way that she will last long. Lilian was only trying to avoid this. So… she made an arrangement to have Bec marry a man from a very good family.

Who would have thought that she would run away? However, instead of using the organization to search for her own daughter, Lilian didn't abuse the power that she holds and only used her own methods to find her. This was something that made them respect the woman even more.

No one can be perfect, and Lilian was just like that. She had her own weaknesses, but her mind is not one of those.

"The Mafia…" Old Man Yu did not continue his words. "Lilian does not like to involve herself in matters like this. Are you planning to…"

"We already did." He answered. "Lily needed to grow her power and the only that it will happen is for her to have a concrete backing in Europe and a steady one in Asia." Both men knew that this matter is not about net worth anymore. This is not about money and properties. This is about information and influence. Those are the two things that people would die for. And those are the two things that Lily needed to have.

"Alright." Old Man Yu stood from his seat. "I believe I don't have to walk you out, right?" he asked. "I have to prepare myself for Lily's visit."

"Hah! You are a.s.suming that Lily would visit you? What about her husband? I heard that he gets pretty protective and…" he held a finger in his temple. "A bit crazy." He gave a mocking laugh. "If I am him… I would burn your children to the ground before coming in here to talk to you." He shrugged. "But… I am crazy so." He then chuckled and left the old man standing alone in his secret room.

...…

After that fire, Lily and Zhou Jingren went back to Sky City and tightened their security. Two men have now been a.s.signed to follow Lily all the time and when Daohu recovers, he will soon follow her too. The security of their mansion had been tripled as Zhou Jingren added some intimidating locking mechanisms to the house that includes fingerprint and iris scan that records everyone who will go inside and outside of the mansion.

Meanwhile, Bei Tian's face was grim as he looked at Lily and Zhou Jingren. His arms are crossed, lips thinned. "I have to make a compromise. Or they will not submit to us.��

"So… they wanted me to lead them? We all know I can't do that." Lily's face was equally dark. She was already on her way to talk to Old Man Yu and lay her trap when Bei Tian arrived, telling her that she is now the leader of a mafia organization. This instantly turned her already bad day into worse.

"I am managing them. But… they will introduce you as their leader." Bei Tian glanced at Zhou Jingren. "It's either that or they attack the Tang Empire which already belonged to us."

"I believe this is a good thing." Zhou Jingren said. "This will only make people in the black market fear you and be wary. We can always take advantage of this matter."

Lily turned silent. She already has a lot of things to deal with. "I don't want to get involve in the black market."

"You don't have to get involve." Bei Tian said. "I also agree with Zhou Jingren… I believe… this will give you a solid footing in Europe. Which is always an outstanding thing for business."

Lily frowned before she rose from her seat. "Do what you want. I have my own matters to attend to." She turned her back at them and walked out of Zhou Jingren's room.

The only thing that could satiate her anger and irritation right now is knowing who set that fire into their mansion. She gritted her teeth. This Yu Family is only adding to the things that she has to think about.

She needed to know what the old man really wanted and finish this family as soon as possible.
