Chapter 612 Challenge

"Madam Liu… truly knows how to joke." Lily added. She shifted her gaze towards the three women a few feet away from her. "I didn't ruin your friendship, you did. Think about it."

"You vile creature!" Liu Chin was about to walk towards Lily when one of Lily's bodyguards stood next to her. Towering over everyone, the tall bodyguard stared down at Liu Chin, his face stern. However, it was not enough to scare her. "Get out of my way! This woman is…"

"My… My…" Lily didn't remove her gaze from Madam Liu. "Your daughter is pretty stupid, no?"

"Liu Chin… stop it! Don't involve her in our family matter." Madam Liu walked towards her daughter. She held Liu Chin's arms. "Let's go. Let's talk inside."

"But— "

"They are leaving." Madam Liu said. She then looked at Adalind and Lily. "Please… this is a family matter."

Lily shrugged in response. She smiled at Madam He and Madam Liu. "You know… I can always give those to Mr. He…. You know, to help you out with your relationship with Gannon." The changes in Madam He's face was instantaneous.

"You can't do that." Madam He uttered. If her husband will know that she is sleeping with a younger man. He will surely leave her. While Madam he does not care about assets and money, she cares about her name! What would everyone say if they know that her husband was the one who filed the divorce?

What will they say if they discovered that she cheated on him? Horror flashed in her eyes as she thought of being ostracized by her friends and family.

"Let's go inside and talk about this." Madam Liu said. "Miss Lily, Miss Adalind, we will not see you out." She then glared at Madam He. "Follow us!"

Lily nodded in response. She looked at the trio's disappearing back before looking at Adalind.

"Evil," Adalind said. "I like it."

"I can send the proof to Mr. He and everyone in this 'community', but that's too easy," Lily said.

"You seemed to enjoy ruining someone's family."

"Coming from you? That sounds… less dramatic." Lily retorted. She grinned and threw another nut in her mouth.

"Those things… I don't think they are any of your business." Adalind suspected that Lily already know something about her. "Does it make you happy? Seeing the aftermath of the chaos that you caused?"

"You should ask yourself the same thing."

Adalind pursed her lips. Lily's words were enough proof that she indeed have information about her. But isn't this a marvelous thing? Adalind beamed.

This will make it more challenging, right?

"I can see that you are taking this as a challenge, instead." Lily laughed inwardly. This was not a surprise. A woman like Adalind is not someone that one could easily intimidate. However, her methods are less brutal than her husband's. She cannot wait to see what Zhou Jingren will do to this woman.

"We humans love the exhilaration of victory. A minor challenge and maybe some setbacks are going to make it worth it."

Lily lifted an eyebrow before she burst out laughing. Her shoulders shook, tears welled up in her eyes. "Worth it?" she uttered, mockery laced her tone. "You think… you will win?"

Adalind frowned, amused at the ridicule in Lily's eyes. How could Lily be this confident? "We are fickle creatures," Adalind said. "You can't really trust someone's promise." Adalind assumed that Lily's confidence came from the promises that Zhou Jingren made. But how could Lily be this naive?

Men are always like that. They spout nonsense promises then forgot about it the next day. They would then apologize and do it all over again. It is a never-ending process of heartache and expectations. Does Lily even know this? Adalind wondered.

It was obvious that Lily is smart and… scheming. However, she seemed to underestimate the fact that her husband is still a man. And just like every man, he will always fall for someone that will make him special.

"Hm." Lily nodded. "True. That is true." Lily then rose from her seat. This conversation was enough for her to conclude that this Adalind is not giving up anytime soon. "But… isn't this nice?" she met Adalind's eyes. "If you can get him then… he is yours." She knew that he will never betray her.

Not after all the things that they went through.

However, if and only if… Zhou Jingren will leave her for someone younger, slimmer, and more beautiful, then this only means one thing. He is not someone that deserves Lily's heart. A person who betrays her for some superficial things is not even worth a second of her time.

"You mean that, right?"

"Of course." Lily nodded. "Of course… if you fail to do so. Then just think that you are really unlucky." The last person that tried to get into Zhou Jingren's pants already left this world. However… she would never tell Adalind about this. Lily could not wait to have Adalind face the consequence of her own actions.

Lily's lips curled into a smile before she started walking away. Since Adalind wanted a challenge, then she will let her feel what real challenge is. "Call Zhou Jingren… tell him I am coming." She uttered towards Yang Mi. In response, Yang Mi nodded as she shivered inwardly.

The smile on Lily's face was beautiful — too beautiful, she found it frightening.

Yang Mi lowered her head. She heard Lily's conversation with Adalind and to be honest, she too could not wait to watch that woman suffer. Her thoughts then started to analyze what Lily did earlier. Lily was clearly baiting Adalind.

Lily knew that there is no way that Adalind will win this game. So she graciously challenged her. Lily was encouraging Adalind to move towards the mountains, where fighting is obviously more difficult. She was baiting her.

Then she would cut the chance of retreat as she ruthlessly ambushed the enemy. Isn't this too cruel?

Of course, Yang Mi would never blame Lily for doing such a thing. She was only teaching someone a lesson. It was not her fault that the lesson she was about to teach involves… dying. Right?

After all… this was Adalind's choice.
