Chapter 519 Still a Mother

Beijing- Zhang Recordings

"Miss Chen… here are the new recordings of the G Empire girl group." Chen Shi nodded at her assistant as she looked at the new composition of pop songs on her hand.

"What do you think about them?" Chen Shi's soft voice could always leave anyone in awe. Even her secretary who had worked with her for years could still feel herself blush at the sweetness in the latter's tone. Her words could immediately make anyone feel as if they were valued as if they were significant.

"I think the group's dancing is fantastic. However, their singing is just normal. I don't think they will stand out without a lot of auto-tunes." Seeing Chen Shi nodded at her, the assistant smiled.

"How about their… attitude? You were there when they were waiting for the recording, right? Did you see something?" Chen Shi had always been particular with manners. In China, she is always known because of her good temper and for avoiding some people whose attitude is questionable. This was on top of her singing career.

"Ah… One girl is really quiet. The others are pretty loud and childish. But one is really arrogant and even scolded the attendant for bringing her a really hot drink. She said it could damage her vocals. If I wasn't there… I am sure that she poured the drink into the poor man's face." she sighed.

"Alright. Keep observing them…" Chen Shi raised her eyes from the paper that she is reading and gave her assistant a gentle smile. "And please… remember their names."

"I understand, Miss Chen." The assistant bowed in embarrassment. While Miss Chen is known for being a singer, she is also a very good business person and overall a very smart woman. Miss Chen could easily remember the names of the people under her and would even greet them with their names from time to time.

No wonder Miss Chen is greatly admired by her juniors in the industry.

The loud vibration of Chen Shi's phone brought the assistant out of her stupor.

"You can leave now," Chen Shi uttered. After seeing the assistant left her office, the kind and gentle smile on Chen Shi's face immediately disappeared. "Do you have news for me?" Her brows drew together.

They had already agreed that Ron would never call him during the day. This is only except for two things. One is when there is an emergency about their plans, and two is if it is about Demi.

The thought of her only daughter only made her frowned deeper. "Did something happened?" she asked and rose from her leather chair.

"It was Lily." Ron's grim voice reached her ears. He then started telling Chen Shi about what happened in Lee Group's office.

"So she framed you," the contempt in her voice was apparent. "Do you think she knew something about us? Do you think she told Thomas about it?"

"I don't think so. I think… the reason why she got rid of me is that she is threatened that I could influence Thomas and Adrian's decision. Aside from that, I couldn't think of any reason why I would earn her ire. The two of us never really talked for a long time without Isaac or Thomas around. So… I don't understand why she would suddenly target me."

"You said that she did not… say something to Adrian? Why is that possible? I thought… she and her husband have a terrible relationship against that man?"

"I'm sorry Yani… I don't know." A loud sighed echoed on the other line. "I want to investigate but… I don't want Thomas to think that I am trying to hide any evidence against a crime that I did not commit. Lily… that hateful woman had actually hinted that I am involved in Isaac's death. And we both know how that Thomas respected his father despite his imperfections. I fear that— "

"There is no need to investigate this matter. I tried called Jun earlier and inquired about Demi's location. He refused to tell me." As cold and evil as she is, Yani is still a mother. She adored Demi as much as she adored her life. Until now, Yani is regretting letting her own daughter grew up with her father instead of beside her.

"Maybe you could ask him about Demi." Her voice wavered. "I am scheduled to see Jun next week and I want to discuss Demi's care and welfare. I want to get our daughter and let her stay with me."

"I will try to talk to my brother about this matter. Until now, he is still refusing to answer my call. What about Lily? Do you have something planned for her?" He asked. "Yani… I am telling you. That woman is pretty dangerous. You should take care. Don't let her know anything about us and Demi. I don't want our daughter to suffer anymore."

"Well… for one. Demi's resolve is not as strong as mine. She is weak, mentally, and emotionally. This is where I have miscalculated. I have never included someone like Lily in my equation. Now�� the chance of Demi becoming the Madam of the Lee Group is pretty low. Ron… " she made a dramatic paused. "I can only blame myself and my wrong judgment in this matter."

"Yani! What are you talking about? Our daughter deserves that best, and it wasn't our fault to want the best for her. Will you listen to yourself? This is not your fault. You are only thinking about our daughter's future. As a parent, this is only normal for us."

"I don't even know where my daughter is, Ron." Yani's voice quivered. "What kind of mother am I? I — I already sacrifice my daughter's body just to teach her about schemes and now… I failed her."

"I failed our only daughter and someone else needs to pay for this." She added.

"Do you have a plan against Lily?"

"I do," Yani's gaze turned dark as she looked at the view from her floor to ceiling window. "I do have a plan to destroy that woman. And I won't stop… not even if she begs me to."
