Chloe’s drink advertisement was showing on the television. The smiling Chloe held a can of yogurt drink and read the lines, “Guilt-free zero sugar, healthy and delicious.”
Yuna recalled Chloe’s debauchery and coquettishness when she was with Shaun and could not help but felt nauseous.
Frank noticed her expression and took a glance at the television. He recognized the female celebrity on television.
He had investigated Yuna’s past and knew that she was her stepsister. He also knew that her stepsister often cheated on her with her ex-boyfriend, Shaun.
“This is my stepsister, together with my boyfriend; they betrayed me,” Yuna said without any emotion as she recalled her past. All that was left was despair and hatred.
“Yes, I know,” Frank replied and continued observing Yuna’s expression.
On the other hand, Yuna looked at the innocent and cute Chloe on the television and laughed self-deprecatingly. “The whole world knows, and I’m the only one who’s been in the dark.”
Frank noticed that Yuna did not have the slightest hint of nostalgia for her nine-year-old boyfriend except hatred. He did not say anything else, and he quietly memorized the name Chloe Jiang.
This woman seemed to be an artiste under Cassin Entertainment, his rival company?
Thinking of this, Frank felt a little wasted. If Chloe Jiang were under his Linxia Entertainment, he would have plenty of ways to let Yuna take revenge.
After a while, Frank asked, “You came out of the house crying this morning because of her?”
If that was the case, then he had to teach this woman a good lesson.
“No, she’s not worthy.” Yuna shook her head. Was she crying over the scumbags? It was not her style.
She thought about her deceased mother, how her father forgot about her mother. He even hit her because of her stepmother, who was always targeting her.
Thinking of this, she explained, “It’s my father.”
Frank thought about her family’s situation and was a little puzzled. “Didn’t your father marry into the Xiao Family? At that time, your parents were very loving, so they should have…”
What he did not say was, ‘He should have doted on you, his daughter, very much, right? After all, the Xiao family was one of the wealthiest families in the Imperial City back then.’
However, Howie Jiang, the son-in-law who married into the Xiao family, quickly married Nancy Liu after Yuna’s mother, Roslyn Xiao, died. He cut ties with the Xiao family when something happened, causing the Xiao family to decline.
Now, he was the man who allowed his stepwife to bully his deceased wife’s daughter. He silently allowed Nancy and Chloe to use Yuna to get resources for Chloe, and Chloe even slept with her boyfriend.
Regarding what had happened in the past, Yuna replied, “It’s just the story of a heartbreaker. I was too stupid previously. Now, I only want to live for myself.”
Yuna recalled her own experience. She had met two heartbreakers, and the two heartbreakers had cheated on her. She was so unlucky.
Think about what she had seen at the Civil Affairs Bureau yesterday; Yuna wanted to ask if Luna Bai, the celebrity, had accused him of ‘Cheating’ had a valid reason?
However, remembering Frank’s expression at that time, Yuna felt she should keep her mouth shut. After all, they were just a couple on the surface, and she could not be bothered.
After lunch, Frank was ready to return to work. He glanced at Yuna, who had been staring at him expectantly, and suddenly blurted out, “Are you coming to the office with me?”
“Eh? Sure!” Yuna had been admiring the Chairman’s ascetic beauty in a suit when she was invited by him suddenly. As there was indeed nothing for her to do here, she immediately agreed.
Hence, Yuna got into the Chairman’s business car and followed him to the Linxia Tower, in the heart of the Imperial City.
Linxia Tower was an L-shaped building with a large square on the ground floor. The unique design of the building made many tourists visiting the Imperial City come to ‘clock in.’ There were some internet celebrities recording videos and taking photos in the square from time to time.
Seeing so many people gathered on the ground floor of Linxia Tower, Yuna panicked for a moment. She was very conflicted about whether she should appear in front of everyone together with Frank. Just as Yuna was in a dilemma, Frank gave her a meaningful glance.
Following that, the driver drove the car into the underground car park, which she had misunderstood.
Yuna could only awkwardly scratch her head. “Ha, your company is quite big.”
When they reached the underground car park, Frank got out of the car first and reached out to fetch Yuna. Then, he discovered that Yuna was wearing a black mask, only revealing a pair of eyes.
“What are you doing?” Frank frowned. Did this woman find it embarrassing to walk side by side with him?
Yuna lifted the mask again and untied her hair. She replied, “Mr. Yo, we are secretly married. I don’t want to cause you any trouble.”
