The Villain's Wife

The Villain’s Wife 673 A Minor Sacrifice

A snort escaped Jun Liang’s lips. He immediately turned his face away, hiding the disgust in his eyes. If this was a few months back, he would have easily agreed to this kind of exchange. However, Lily already had evidence against this woman’s cruel schemes. The evidence she was talking about was useless against him now.

"And If I don’t agree?" He challenged her. "Are you going to reveal that to the public?"

Chen Shi immediately frowned at his words. This Jun Liang differed greatly from the previous man that she knew and the one she used to blackmail all the time. Was it because of Lily? She thought. "Are you... Are you not afraid to lose everything that you have now?" She asked.

"Yani Chen... I am already old. Do you think I care?" he sneered. "I already equipped my son with the right knowledge in handling the family business. I am confident that he will take over after I resign."

"You —" she gulped. Narrowing her eyes on him, a realization hit Chen Shi. This confidence was not because of Lily or Zhou Jingren. It was because their son had become capable of handling the business. "So... you only agreed in the past because you are afraid that no one would be able to take care of our children once you go to prison." She concluded.

"Every normal parent would do that. Of course.... you are unaware of this. After all... you are not a parent." To Jun Liang, whatever he went through was only a minor sacrifice for his children. As he continued to give whatever Chen Shi wanted, Jun Liang also made sure that he was teaching his son everything about the family business.

He made his son as independent as possible in case Chen Shi really ruined him.

"I see..." Chen Shi nodded. She then took a sip of her tea before she continued, "So... you are no longer afraid that I will ruin you." Jun Liang’s lips thinned as he stared at her. "But... what about Ben?" She smiled.

Ben Liang.... The illegitimate son of Jun Liang before he met Yani Chen. The person who was only working as the manager of a prestigious shopping mall in Singapore instead of Liang Pharmaceuticals. While many people knew that Timothy and Demi Liang were Jun Liang’s children, only a few knew about Ben’s existence.

Many thought that Ben was actually Jun Liang’s half brother. What the people did not know was that Ben was an illegitimate son of Jun Liang and his father’s maid. This was a secret that the Liang Family tried to hide to avoid embarrassing the heir of the Liang Family at that time, which was Jun Liang.

This was also one of the reasons why Ron Liang felt everything was unfair. Why would they still make Jun Liang inherit the family business when he could always replace him? After all, Ron was just as capable as his brother. He did not have any scandal that could ruin their family’s name.

He felt that Jun Liang’s birthright was not enough to justify this decision. Jun Liang made a mistake by impregnating someone who did not belong in their social circle. He was supposed to be punished! Why would their parents help him hide this fact?

"You want to reveal Ben’s true identity?" Jun Liang asked. To be honest, he was already expecting this move from a person like Chen Shi. "You want to tell everyone that he is the son of a maid?" He snorted. "You think it will matter?"

"Of course it will." Chen Shi lifted her chin, confidence apparent in her eyes. "What do you think will happen if... I tell the media that you killed Ben Liang’s mother!?"

"That is not true!"

"So? Do you believe that the media cares about the truth? My dear.... They care about drama, conspiracies and entertainment." Chen Shi smiled. "Since Ben Liang is your firstborn, people will surely demand that you give him the right to manage Liang Pharma. It is his birthright. Just because he is the son of a maid, does not mean that he is unqualified."

Jun Liang’s lips thinned as he narrowed his eyes at this nasty woman. "So... you would prefer your son... to lose his current status rather than not get what you want? This — This is truly an eye-opener for me. Tell me Chen Shi, why do you favor Demi more than Timothy?" he asked. "They are both your children. They came from your womb. Why would you sacrifice the other just for a small location?"

Chen Shi turned silent at his questions. Why? It was because... just like her, Demi was a woman. It was as simple as that. She despised men.... all of them. But she chose to maintain her silence as she gritted her teeth in irritation. ’It seems that this Jun Liang would not really tell her the location of her daughter,’ she thought.

"Tell me..." Chen Shi made a deliberate pause as she stared at Jun Liang’s face. "Is... my daughter really with you?"

As expected, surprise flashed in Jun Liang’s eyes. How could Chen Shi know about this? "Of course she is. Why would you even think that? She is safe and is currently being treated."

"I received reports that she ran away from the facility." Chen Shi decided to do everything to make him say something. After all, Jun Liang was already dead in her eyes. There was no harm in telling him about the information that Qi Xia gave her. "My people seem to think someone kidnapped Demi. There were traces of her in Europe then... she was gone. She disappeared from the face of the earth." She gulped. "Tell me the truth Jun... as her mother, I deserve to know the truth. Is my daughter still with you?" she asked as fear flashed in her eyes. "Is she... is she still alive?"
