Chapter 480 The Means Justify The Ends

BEWARE: THIS CHAPTER WILL MAKE YOU ANGRY.

"Today, someone hurt Adrian's arms." Isaac Lee's lips were set in a grim line. He narrowed his eyes at Lily. "Was it you?"

Surprise flashed in Lily's eyes. She remembered Zhou Jingren not talking about her arm again since he saw it yesterday. Was it possible that… Lily tried to shook away the thoughts in her head. She knew that her husband is very capable and she really would not blame him for doing something like this.

"Was it you?" the old man asked, again. "Did you hurt my grandson?"

"Why would I hurt him?" Lily asked. A lazy smile hung on her lips. "If I would want to hurt someone that would be you and not Adrian."

"How bold!"

"Is that really a surprise?" Lily sneered. She was not a very violent person, and she would always prefer using her brain over guns. However, she would not hesitate to kill someone just to defend what was hers.

Memories of Jack's bloodied face immediately resurfaced in her mind. Her breath hitched. Before Jack, Lily never even thought of using her own hands to kill someone. It was wrong. She knew killing someone is wrong. And maybe she is crazy to accept that she did not feel remorse because of what she did.

True, she can still see Jack's face from time to time. Or tremble every time she is in the basement of below the ground. However, she never once regretted killing him. In fact, she found the action liberating. It was as if she had become free from something that had been weighing on her for a long time now.

Was she becoming a monster? Lily laughed inwardly. She was already a monster long before she had killed someone. The only difference now is that… this time, she would not hesitate to do it again.

"If I would know that you have some involvement in this matter, I would— "

"Please." Lily interrupted him. "Both of us knew who is really capable of doing that and we all know it's not me."

"Zhou Jingren would never hurt Adrian just because he laid his hands on you."

"You want to bet?" She scoffed. "Why don't you slap me right now? You know… just to see if your head would still be attached in your body tomorrow."

*BAM*

The old man slammed his fist into the table. "You think I wouldn't dare do that?"

"Then… what's stopping you?" She lifted an eyebrow.

The old man was stump for words. He already knew that the one responsible for Adrian's condition is Zhou Jingren. It wasn't really a secret as Adrian was ambushed in a very public place just this morning. However, he wanted to use this accident to intimidate Lily and make her guilty. Who would have thought that she would act like a total b*tch and say such mean things to him?

He narrowed his eyes at the woman as he recalled the recorder that was hidden under the table. He wanted to record this conversation and send it to Zhou Jingren. How could Zhou Jingren tolerate such nasty behavior?

"I know about Jack Arison." The old man continued.

"And?"

"Why did you kill him?"

"He earned my ire." She answered as she met his sharp gaze. Lily could not deny that the old man is intimidating to some people. His wizened face and sharp eyes could easily frighten someone with a weak resolve. "That is enough reason for me to kill anyone." She crossed her arms across her chest. "Did you call me here because you wanted to talk about this?"

"Your husband slept with Demi last night and I want him to take responsibility." Old Man Lee said without batting an eyelid. "I wanted to have that lunch with you because of this." Initially, Old Man Lee scheduled lunch with Lily. However, the woman declined and chose to spend her time shopping with Zhou Jingren instead.

"He is married." Lily rested her elbows on the table as she leaned towards the man. "Would you like him to marry Demi too?" She smirked.

Lily's nonchalant words immediately made the old man frowned. "Aren't you angry? Your husband just slept with another woman before going home to sleep next to you."

"Oh… you have no idea how angry I am." She grinned, sarcasm laced her tone.

"Then divorce him!" Old Man Lee demanded as he asked one of his men to give Lily the photo's and articles that he prepared just for this matter. "Those are images of you bullying Demi on the balcony. The other's are the articles that I am planning to release once you won't divorce him. I will let the world know that he r*ped her."

Lily's face immediately turned serious at the old man's words. She stared at the articles and some photos that showed Demi's bruised body. Lily knew that the old man would do everything to have the ends of his goals. However, she didn't know that he would go as far as letting the world think that Zhou Jingren is a r*pist. What kind of grandfather would do this? What kind of monster would do this to his only grandson to corner him?

Moreover, what kind of woman was Demi? What kind of woman would endure such torture just to have the man that she wanted? Lily lifted her head to look at the old man. The slight smirk on her face was gone. It was replaced by something that the old man did not recognize.

"You do know that releasing this news would have a devastating effect on Demi as well, right?�� Lily asked. She wanted to make sure that the woman already knew what she had signed up for before Lily decides to ruin her.

"Of course we know that!" A sinister smile beamed at the old man's face. "The means justify the ends, Lily. We don't care about the means. We only care about the ends."
