When Zhou Eldress woke up in a cold sweat that night, she felt like she was burning and very thirsty. Her head was aching and she very incredibly angry. She couldn"t remember her dream, but it made her angry and had something to do with that b.a.s.t.a.r.d. She suddenly recalled the expressions that Zhou Elder held for him earlier when he was here. By his actions, Zhou Elder was reconsidering and just going to let Zhou Ming inherit everything despite his problematic girlfriend.
It made her furious. All that effort of dragging the dumb brother to manipulate and for what? Only to be cast aside when Zhou Elder is dead? She tried to calm herself but her rage wouldn"t cease at all. She stood up and called someone she hated but needed to keep alive.
"It"s me. Can"t you do what you did a long time ago? I"ll pay you ten times the usual amount."
The other voice on the line was aged and actually scoffed, which caused her anger to fume even harder. "No thanks. With our current situation, I already get enough money. You can"t trick me to do that again, especially when there"s a high chance of death. Don"t contact me or else I"ll have to release one of the things to the public as a warning—"

She was afraid of what Zhou Ming would do, especially knowing that he hated her and wanted revenge for Han Mi.

Her wrinkled hands were shaking as she gripped something to prevent her from fainting. She s.h.i.+vered as the fear consumed her and her thoughts. She hadn"t been like this ever since she decided to plan the murder of Han Mi long ago when she was young.

She had worked too hard to be pushed down like this!
Her wave of fear was replaced with a familiar emotion—hate; however, it wasn"t just directed at Zhou Ming. No, it was directed at that useless girl beside him especially.
She had an urge to kill her, so Zhou Ming would feel the pain that she endured because of him. The pain of the idea of losing everything.
An evil smile spread on her lips and her usual snake-like eyes were tranquil, almost like her previous emotions were just an illusion. Ling Xiu was done relying on other people—it was time for her to take things into her own hands.
Xiao Yunhua"s plan had worked, but a little too well. The old woman had taken the bait, but to an extreme level...
