The Peak

  "These are the goals for the next quarter as well as last quarters reports." Yang Mi handed Lily a stack of papers. "I sent a copy of the presentation to your email and printed it out as well."

  "Alright." Lily nodded. "Did Qin Yuanfeng and Cathy arrived safely?"

  "Yes. They are already in London."

  "Good." She nodded and took the file from Yang Mi. She then eyed Zhou Jingren’s vacant seat in their home office and pouted. Today, Lily decided to spend her morning checking out the reports from Facci Group. Because of this, she didn’t accompany Zhou Jingren to his office.

  She missed him.

  It wasn’t even two hours, and she…… missed him. It seems that this pregnancy made her even more clingy than her previous self. "Our profits are up by twelve percent." She uttered. "Good." At least, her disappearance at the beginning of the year was not able to affect the company that much.

  "Hmmm. The projects in China and Singapore are also going well. Mr. Rossi wanted to ask if you would attend the opening of the mall."

  "No. Mr. Beau and Mr. Rossi can take care of that." As much as Lily wanted to attend this event she is afraid that her body won’t make it.

  "I understand." Yang Mi nodded as she scribbled on her tablet.

  "Do you have an update about that Su Ma and Qin Chuan?" Lily asked. "How about that Chen Shi?"

  "Oh…… Mr. Qin Chuan is taking Miss Su everywhere. I believe that they are currently in Bali enjoying a vacation. As for Miss Chen…… she is currently busy with the damages that President Zhou made in her projects."

  "And the company?" Lily asked. "If he is incapable of running the company, then…… I would intervene. Money is still more important than anything else." She added. How could Qin Chuan act like a teenager? Leaving the company to travel the world with a woman that he met a few months ago?

  "The VP is handling the finances well. I already sent you an email on everything that Qin Yuanfeng found about the company. These includes their profits and goals."

  "Good." She nodded. She understood the guilt that Qin Chuan must have felt when he lost Bec Facci. However, what he is doing now is just…… unjustifiable.

  "Also…… about the card that you mention?" Yang Mi added. "Fernando was able to trace it." Every VIP card that was given by GC Jewels is very exclusive. Because of this, the card has a special code that will detect that date and time that it was given to a customer. Some of the cards even contain the information and image of its owner.

  "Since that card was only an orange level, they did not have the information that you ask. However…… Mr. Kim was able to trace the date and time that it was given."

  Lily snorted. She shifted her gaze at Yang Mi. "Let me guess…… it was given June last year?" she gave a mocking smile. Seeing this, Yang Mi swallowed her nonexistent saliva before she nodded.

  Yang Mi then shivered inwardly. She is already very familiar with this type of smile from Lily. This is something that still made Yang Mi tremble, even to this day. Who wouldn’t? The malice swirling in Lily’s eyes every time she does this is just…… frightening.

  "Mr. Kim…… Fernando asked if you wanted the video when the card was given to the customer."

  "No need," Lily uttered. "I already know who it is." She then shifted her gaze towards the stack of paper in her hands. "I am not in the mood to read right now." She rose from her seat and walked out of the study with Yang Mi in tow.

  Lily could not stop herself from smiling as she thought of the people behind this scheme. For some reason, she instantly thought about Chen Shi and her new allies. It was as if Lily’s instinct is telling her that there should be a connection somewhere. However, she was not in a hurry to discover the truth behind this Su Ma.

  Lily wanted them to enjoy the show. Let them think that they are winning, that their plans are succeeding. Then…… she will destroy them. This time…… Lily is going to destroy them and make them wish that they were not born in this lifetime.

  Harsh? Maybe…… However, these people are threatening her peace.

  "Why are you following us around?" Lily halted her steps as she turned towards the maid that was walking behind them.

  "Madam…… you said earlier that you don’t want anyone to disturb you so I…… I didn’t inform you that someone is here to see you."

  "Who?" She lifted an eyebrow.

  "Madam He. She said she wanted to have a private conversation. She said it was important."

  "But you didn’t inform me because…… I told you not to disturb me?" she asked. In response, the maid nodded slowly.

  "Excellent work. Keep it up." Lily nodded. "Where is she?"

  "On the terrace. I already prepared some refreshments and inform her that you are doing something important. Still, she insisted to wait."

  "Alright." Lily smiled. As expected, the people that Zhou Jingren hired are all smart. She gave the maid a last look before she walked towards the terrace. The maid is smart enough to know that Lily does not have any friendly relationship with the people in this neighborhood.

  "You are here?" Lily instantly asked when she saw Madam He standing near the baluster as still as a statue. Despite having over five chairs on the terrace, the woman stood while watching the view of Hong Kong.

  "Lily,’ Madam He said almost eagerly. She walked towards Lily with an awkward smile on her face. "I am here to talk to you about yesterday."

  "Are you here to beg?" Lily lifted an eyebrow.

  "I — I am……" Madam He stuttered. As expected, Lily’s direct words surprised her. Was Lily already expecting her to come here?……
