IN LOVE WITH A SOLDIER - Season 9 Episode 57

“Which hotel is this? Who is the woman in these pictures? What is her relationship to Lawrence?” Rebecca bombarded Sally with questions. And she was demanding for answers. The most important thing for her was to know Lawrence’s relationship with this woman.

“Are you surprised? You never expected that a self-disciplined Lawrence would go to a hotel with a woman, right?” Sally asked in mockery. “Although this woman seems to know nothing about fashion, she is still good looking. She may even look more beautiful than you if both of you will not put on any makeup,” Sally said deliberately to arouse Rebecca’s jealousy and anger. This was the only way that she could get what she wanted.

“What’s going on between the two of them? Tell me everything,” Rebecca demanded. She was slowly losing control of her emotions. “You have already seen the photos. Now tell me, what are you going to do?” Sally asked calmly.

She wanted to know Rebecca’s real thoughts. She knew that Rebecca had already given in to her feelings.

“I will make sure that this woman stays away from Lawrence,” Rebecca replied in clenched teeth. “I thought all the while that Lawrence had a thing for Ivy. It turns out, he’s just using Ivy as a distraction. The woman in these pictures is the one that he really likes.”

Since Sally was satisfied with Rebecca’s reply, she decided to tell her more about Aria Liu.

“This woman in the pictures is Aria Liu. Lawrence met her when he was on a blind date with Mary Han. I don’t know what Aria did to Lawrence but he left Mary Han and went to the hotel room with her. They entered the room in the evening and left the next morning. I’m sure you can already imagine what could happen between them for that whole night,” Sally recounted as if she was telling a fairy tale.

“Where does this woman live?” Rebecca immediately asked. She couldn’t wait to deal with this Aria Liu.

“She is renting a small room. I guess you will not have any trouble going in there. After all, you also lived in poverty when you were little,” Sally replied tauntingly.

“Tell me the address,” Rebecca said. There was a hint of displeasure in her voice. She thought Sally was talking nonsense. She was only asking where that woman lived and yet she even mentioned her childhood.

“Why should I tell you?” Sally countered with a raised eyebrow. “You are a pop star. I don’t think it will be hard for you to trace her location. Am I right?”

Rebecca paid no heed to Sally’s words. Her mind was already busy planning of ways how to take care of Aria. She would never spare anyone who would try to steal things from her.

As she noticed Rebecca’s brooding face, Sally continued, “I heard that Aria’s mother got ill and she is currently in XS Hospital. Thanks to her daughter, that old woman was able to get the best medication and treatment the hospital could offer. As far as I know, someone is paying for her mother’s medical expenses.”

She then stared intently at Rebecca, observing her discreetly.

“I thought she was a kind and innocent girl. It turns out she is even worse than me. She is only dating Lawrence because of his money,” Rebecca sniffed scornfully as she came back to her senses. ‘I know what kind of person Aria is. The moment I find out where she lives, I will definitely teach her a lesson, ‘ she pondered.

“Don’t you think that this woman is just another you?” Sally asked with a sneer. Since Rebecca didn’t reply, she continued, “However, Lawrence dumped you when he found out that you lied to him. But now, he sticks with Aria especially when he found out that her mother is sick. Do you think Lawrence considered you as more important than Aria?” Sally’s words completely enraged Rebecca. Her hands began shaking and her resentment towards Aria went sky-high.

With a snort, she said enviously, “Lawrence and I used to be friends.

We’ve already known each other for years. But this woman just met him couple of days ago. She is a nobody. I will never give her a chance to be with Lawrence.”

Sally sensed that the hatred in Rebecca’s heart had already sky-rocketed. She thought it was time to ask, “Do you need my help?”

Rebecca obviously doubted Sally’s intentions. So, with a skeptical expression, she asked, “What can you do for me?”

“If you can follow my advice, then I will be of some help to you,” Sally answered.

“In Lawrence’s eyes, you are obviously less important than Aria. If you do something to Aria and Lawrence finds out, what do you think he will do to you?”

Rebecca remained silent so Sally went on, “His deep-seated aversion to you will definitely worsen. Why don’t you think of other ways to avenge Aria?”

“You’re smarter than Aria. I’m sure you can think of a better plan to handle her,” Sally added to boost her confidence.

Sally’s remarks made Rebecca contemplate a lot. Sally had a point. She knew Lawrence very well. Once he learned that she did something to Aria, he would surely blame her and worst, would not let her go. She had already learned a lesson from the recent termination of her contract with the JC Group. So she should think of a better plan. She needed a scheme that could not give Lawrence an idea to implicate her.

“Do you have any better ideas?” Rebecca turned to Sally and asked immediately. She had no other choice but to turn to Sally for help.

Rebecca wasn’t aware that it was actually what Sally was expecting to hear. She deliberately triggered Rebecca’s feeling towards Lawrence so she would collaborate with her. So she immediately offered a suggestion, “Lawrence is currently not in the city.

That means, no one can protect Aria. If she gets into trouble, he may not be able to come to her rescue in time. It’s a good chance for you. You are a celebrity and you have lots of fans. If you use the pressure of the public opinion to attack her, her reputation will easily be destroyed.”

As she heard Sally’s suggestion, Rebecca’s mood lit up all of a sudden.
