COLD CEO AND ARROGANT WIFE, VOLUME 4 - Season 7 Episode 71

Raelle had never been a liar. She might be able to hide things but rarely did it because she wasn’t all that good at hiding things as well. Last night, she only asked Cloe to not contact anyone else because she knew it’ll get out of control if she was unconscious.

Only she had the ability to control her Yanyan. Or Hyson did but even Hyson wasn’t around at that time.

Raelle nodded at Shui Xian saying, “You call Bà and tell him to come to the hospital. Let him come first and we’ll talk to him together.”

“And what about Yanyan?” asked Hyson. “And Opa?”

Raelle went silent for a moment before saying, “I’ll tell them. Myself.”

Of course, she had to tell them herself. If she let anyone else deliver this news, it won’t end well for even the messenger. So, it was better for her to do it herself.

Shui Xian nodded and went out to look for a charger. While Hyson was left inside with Raelle. He looked at Raelle and asked seriously, “What exactly happened?”

“Nothing. A clown must have lost her patience,” said Raelle. “Even a rabbit bites when it is cornered.”

Hyson frowned in confusion, not knowing what she meant by that. In the end, Raelle had to explain everything to him. Hyson’s face darkened the more he heard the details.

“Are you certain it’s her behind this?” asked Hyson.

“I can’t think of another person desperate enough to resort to something like this,” answered Raelle.

Hyson also nodded, he also thought so. His fists were clenched right now. He so wished to strangle that woman! How dare she touched her best friend?

Raelle patted his hand, “You calm down first. Go and call your manager. Also, don’t forget to apologize to her for being so irresponsible.”

Hyson pouted at that, “How am I irresponsible? I was worried about you.”

“And now you can see that I am fine,” said Raelle.

“Are you really?” asked Hyson. He wasn’t that easy to coax. He understood Raelle. Even if she seemed fine right now, there was no way she wasn’t feeling the loss of her child. She had always been the person who cared the most about the people she called hers. And that child even if she knew nothing about it was still a part of her.

He didn’t think it was as simple as it appeared to be.

How could it be possible that Raelle didn’t care about the child that was growing inside of her? Even if she appeared detached from emotions, she actually wasn’t to the point of being heartless.

Raelle looked into his eyes and said, “I am.”

Although Hyson knew she didn’t lie, he wasn’t able to convince his heart that she was fine. It didn’t seem like that to him. But she spoke with certainty which meant that perhaps, she couldn’t even tell herself right now that she wasn’t actually okay.

However, he didn’t argue with her on this and went out to give his manager a call just like Raelle told him to do so.

After he left, Shui Xian brought her phone back and gave it to her. “I’m going to call Bà. You can call Grandpa and Yanyan as well.”

Raelle nodded her head.

As he left, the first person Raelle called was actually Anna.

“Missy?”

“It’s me,” replied Raelle. “Did you find the culprit?”

“Yes,” said Anna and reiterated everything they found out and that happened after Raelle’s accident.

Raelle wasn’t even surprised to hear who the culprit was. She had been right all along. There was only one brainless clown on the banquet who will turn to such desperate means since she couldn’t do anything else.

“Missy, how do you want to deal with her?” asked Anna.

“I’ll send her where criminals belong,” answered Raelle.

Anna sighed inwardly. She already knew it’d be like this. Their Missy wouldn’t challenge the law. Even if she wanted to get back at someone, she’ll do it in a legal way. After all, she believed they lived in a society ruled by law and order.

Anna didn’t know how to tell her Missy that the world had its way to manipulate law and order! The law only favored the ones with power and money!

However, even if she had such thoughts, she won’t go against Raelle’s words.

“Then should I send her to the precinct?” asked Anna.

“How can you do that without entertaining our guest?”

Anna’s eyes widened and then a smirk appeared on her face as she understood the underlying meaning behind Raelle’s words. Indeed, they’ll let the law decide Ruan Meilin’s punishment. But who said they won’t ‘entertain’ her while she was in their hands?

“I have faith in you, Anna,” said Raelle. “Entertain our guest well. After all, your Missy has a reputation to keep. Won’t people be calling me a bad person if I didn’t even entertain my guests well?”

“Understood, Missy,” said Anna. “I have a lot of ways to entertain her. And I assure you, she’ll be very satisfied with our services.”

“I’m counting on you for that,” replied Raelle and wanted to hang up the call. But suddenly, she recalled something and added, “Also, help me investigate something. Find out what happened to Amiah Jade and what part that Ruan Meilin played in that.”

“Got it!”

“I’m hanging up now, get to work.” With that, she hung up the call.

Even if she was a good citizen who abided by the law that didn’t mean she was a fool. She knew Ruan Meilin won’t suffer much for the attempted murder charge. But she made her lose her child. Did she look like she’ll just forget about that loss?

It was a life, damnit!

No matter how small! It was still a life. The life of her child. The child that had her and Xian’s blood. She definitely wasn’t willing to let this matter rest so easily. Even if she didn’t know what anger was, that didn’t mean she didn’t know how to return the favor. Good or bad. She always returned what she got from people. Because she didn’t like owing anything to anyone.
