The CEO's Woman

Chapter 453 Acting Tough is Useless

"One wrong move from you and your family will die," Antonio answered, his lips were hooked into a smile as he watched his beloved nephew walk towards them. Pater must have already dealt with Mia, he thought. "Anyway, after Peter divorced Mia he and Quan Lei will undergo some test to see who is really fit to be your husband."

"I am already married." Jiang Yue said.

"Then you are about to become a widow, soon. That is not a problem." It was Quan Lei. He already expected Jiang Yue to declare that she was already married. In fact, he already had this suspension before. Of course, at that time, he did not care about this.

Fu Jin will die soon and that would make Jiang Yue available once again. Quan Lei was not someone who would care about trivial things like this. As long as Jiang Yue would become his wife then he would not any complains at all. The only thing that he had a problem of is the fact that Peter also wanted to become Jiang Yue’s husband.

With these in mind, he narrowed his eyes at Peter.

"I never thought that you would abandon your wife and do this to me. I was to become Jiang Yue’s husband. It was already decided years ago. I don’t think you should involve yourself in our matter." He said. A flicker of irritation flashed into his eyes as he forced himself to swallow his frustrations. When it comes to talent, he is confident that he was equal with Peter Pardi. But when it comes to family background. Peter would defeat him in a blink of an eye.

"You are thinking too much," Peter smiled his eyes were already on Jiang Yue. Friendship was nothing in front of power and influence. In this world that they were in, there is no such thing as friendships. Only power and more power. "I took an interest in Jiang Yue after I saw her. I find her interesting and lovely. What’s wrong with pursuing her? Moreover, I believe, I am the best candidate to stand next to her."

"What did you say?" Quan Lei asked, his tone low and grave. He won’t deny the fact that he really felt the threat that Peter brings. However, this does not mean that he would give up and not fight what was rightfully his. After all, in Quan Lei’s mind, Jiang Yue was already his from the start. He watched her grow and become stronger back when they were working together. He felt that they had already shared something memorable.

His only regret back then was not working hard enough to get closer to Jiang Yue. He always thought that he could do this once they leave the headquarters. Who would have thought that Wang Bolin would be closely guarding Jiang Yue? Always preventing him from even standing next to her.

With this in mind, he gave Wang Bolin a glare.

"Enough you two." It was the first elder. "There will be a proper way to know who will become Jiang Yue’s husband."

Mr. Quan was about to rebut the Elder’s words when they heard Jiang Yue chuckle. Everyone turned their attention towards the latter, confusion apparent in their faces. Why would Jiang Yue laugh?

"Fool." Jiang Yue said, eyes full of ridicule. "First you invited me here thinking to trap me. Second, you talk about my personal matter as if you owned me. Thinking that you already succeeded and already counting the eggs before they hatch."

"Tell me... are you stupid? Or truly stupid?" Jiang Yue then laughed. She was originally thinking that these people will not hurt Fu Jin because of what she heard last night. But she was wrong. She was so wrong.

In fact, Jiang Yue was really nervous right now. She was just putting on an act of being brave in front of these people. Knowing that they have actually dared to attack Fu Jin is making Jiang Yue worry. However, worrying too much won’t give her anything. Because of this, she is doing her best to compose herself.

"Stop acting tough." Antonio sneered. "I just got the news that the mansion was already on fire. If my guess is right, then that man of yours is already dead. Buried in that mansion." After seeing the smile on Jiang Yue’s face disappeared, Antonio continued. "We are kind enough to give you choices. Don’t blame us to killing him. He was nothing but a weakness. He does not deserve you."

Jiang Yue did not answer Antonio. She only lowered her head. She would not show any weakness now. This is the second time that someone called Fu Jin her weakness and she was really getting tired of it. "You know Antonio, the last person who called my husband weak... was now buried six feet under the ground."

"Preposterous!" The first elder scolded. "Are you threatening..." his words were interrupted when Antonio raised his hand, a signal for him to stop talking.

"I told you acting tough is useless now that you are in our turf. Now... I highly suggest..."

"Useless?" Jiang Yue smirked. "How about I tell you the things that I found out last night?"

Without waiting for them to answer, Jiang Yue continued. "I only found out that this mansion had three beautiful places that people frequent. First is the ranch which is located one point five kilometers away from here. Second is the beautiful lake which is next to the landing area. It had a little villa which by the way is the highlight of the entire estate... and... the third is this mansion."

"A place that was made more than a hundred years ago. Something that resembled a castle with its elegant carvings and stone walls. I was totally... bewildered."

"What are you trying to say? We are not here to talk about views and beautiful environment!" Mr. Quan hissed. This talk is for Jiang Yue’s marriage. For short, this is about Quan Lei. Not some house appreciation meeting!

"Oh trust me, Mr. Quan... I am not here to talk about beauty. In fact... Let me start talking about how I shall destroy these places!"
