The General Who Hates Me

Then she was reminded of something and paused upon realizing that she had mistaken Bernard, Xander"s cousin from his mother"s side, who was also his look-alike, for her cousin brother. 

Keira walked inside and was amazed at the similarities of their facial features.

Although she had heard a lot about Bernard and seen him on the reality television show, "House of Zeus", but this was the first time that she had actually seen him in person. 

"Wow, they look very serious today," she mumbled as she was looking at Bernard who appeared to be having a serious discussion with the Producer and the News Director as they entered the meeting room.

"I heard it"s about the upcoming banquet for the new sensational actress Arya Tan," commented one of their editors.

She was startled when she heard her name called by Director Holmes who then instructed her to go inside the meeting room, where she was immediately introduced to their CEO, Mr. Bernard Cooper. 

"Keira will handle the live reporting of the banquet." added Director Holmes. Director Holmes, Producer Amy and her a.s.sistant were the only ones who knew about Keira"s ident.i.ty.

Bernard smiled at her and said, "I look so familiar, right?" 

Keira nodded and smiled as she extended her hand for a handshake. At first glance, Bernard and Xander could truly be mistaken as twins. But if you looked closely, there"s still a lot of dissimilarities between them. Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click www.webnovel.com for visiting.

"Well Xander asked me to take good care of you, or else the whole army would blast me up." added Bernard in jest. Keira laughed and said, "Well, he was just being dramatic. It"s nothing like that and I can take good care of myself..."

Bernard"s face had then turned serious as he continued to discuss the whole plan with everyone. Keira listened attentively and was astounded when she learned about the real plan that was disguised behind Bernard"s grand arrangements for the banquet that would be held in the name of Arya Tan.

"I want to make sure that every single detail of this party is covered and the news will be relayed live throughout all of our networks." Bernard then looked at Keira and said, "Keira, as the field reporter, I expect you to focus closely on this. If necessary, we would not mind getting help from your family, or even the military." 

Keira understood what he meant very well. She didn"t need any further explanation to understand the whole situation. She could already put all the pieces of the puzzle together and understood immediately that it was all connected with Zach"s mission. Knowing this, there was no way that she would not give her absolute best to make sure that the plan would succeed.

...….

"How long do you plan to keep me locked in here? I can sue you for this!" Chin asked furiously. She had fallen into Jeru"s hands and was held captive inside one of his properties.

"Did you say you would sue me?" Jeru chuckled as he looked at her in disdain. 

"Sure, let"s have it your way. You"ll sue me for confining you here, and I"ll sue you for drugging me and having me a.s.saulted under the influence of a s.e.xual stimulant. Let"s see who"ll be the first one to rot in jail." Jeru answered with a gloomy face as he gritted his teeth. 

He had abducted Chin because he did not have the patience to wait for the long amount of time in which a legal proceeding under the law would have taken. 

She had meant him harm, so a payback was absolutely necessary. And instead of going through the proper law procedures, he would rather be the judge in his own courtroom, and decide on which fitting sentence to pa.s.s himself. 

With a hint of cruelty on his stern face, he sat himself in front of Chin and said, "I will keep you here until I find out everything that I want to know... Or maybe I should have Thea accompany you here as well, since she was also involved in this malicious scheme that you had planned against me and Keira?"

"NO! Don"t you dare touch Thea. She is innocent. She knew nothing about the plan!" Chin shouted as she trembled with anger. She had been too late when she saw Thea"s text messages about cancelling the plan. She had also missed Thea"s calls that night.

But even if Thea had told her to stop the plan, she would have still gone through with it anyway. And she was willing to take full responsibility for it.

Jeru"s brow arched as he asked, "Are you that loyal? You would take all the blame for your friend? Do you really think I will let you two off that easily?"

Chin"s face paled. Thea had trusted her so much and she would not let Thea be dragged into this mess that she had caused.

"Thea has already suffered enough. And she has endured it for years! She did not know anything about this at all. All she knew was that you and Keira would be given some strong sleeping pills, so we could put you together in some ambiguous pose and show it to Zach. It was not her idea to drug you or Keira with the aphrodisiac. She had even been reluctant to go forward with the initial plan. It was me who planned all of this and ultimately dragged Thea into the pit. In the end she was the one who got hurt, wasn"t she? Wasn"t that enough for you? So leave her be and pour your wrath only at me. I know I"d done wrong, so punish me as you like!" Chin exclaimed.

Jeru gestured one of his men to hand him the report that he had gathered on Chin and Thea.

"I really admire your confidence… I mean do you even have an idea who I am and who Keira is?" said Jeru nonchalantly as he ran his eyes on the tablet where Chin and Thea"s information was reported.

"So you are an important member of a big underworld organization. Hmm, this is interesting," Jeru murmured with a smug as he continued to read. Chin was confounded as she muttered, "Just who the h.e.l.l are you?"

She tried to have Jeru and Keira investigated, only to have found that it had not yielded the results she had hoped for. Their profile information contained very limited details, as though any information on them was heavily protected. Especially Keira"s. The only information she had on Jeru was that of him being the CEO of the Liu Group. She heard Jeru clicking his tongue.

Jeru kept his past involvement with the Military private, so no one could gain full access about him. The same with how the Field Marshal kept any details about Keira restricted.

"Me? Let"s just say that you messed up big time with the wrong people, Miss Chin," Jeru scorned as he began his interrogation.
