After five years on the run, she returns with two cute babies

Chapter 1178: A Shady Deal

It must be said that even when a beautiful woman is angry, she is still so charming; every frown and every pout left Wilson speechless.

However, when Joanna's piercing gaze swept over him, Wilson snapped out of his reverie and dared not let his imagination run wild. He quickly flattered her, saying, "That's for sure. How could such a vulgar woman like Lin Yuqing stay by the young master's side? Our young master must not have figured it out to be so infatuated with that woman!"

Joanna glanced lazily at Wilson and said, "Since you're not satisfied with the current outcome, I can try to help you. But..."

Wilson said, rubbing his fingers together.

Joanna sneered at Wilson with disgust, "You really have quite the appetite. I've already given you a large sum of money and gotten rid of your thorn in the side at the company. How dare you still ask me for money?"

"That's because I can still bring you value!" Wilson said with a fawning smile. "Besides, I'm taking a lot of risks to do these things for you, so it's only right that you give me some compensation."

Joanna, too lazy to argue with such a hypocrite, turned her head, frowned, and asked, "I'm paying you, and what about you? How much useful information can you bring me?"

Leaning slightly forward, Wilson said mysteriously, "I heard that our young master is very interested in Bob's press conference and has decided to attend with his wife!"

This news surprised Joanna, who raised an eyebrow and said, "Xiao Mingyang is quite bold. Isn't he afraid that those people here will embarrass him on the spot? Hmph, everyone says that Xiao Mingyang loves Lin Yuqing so much, but I think he's just putting on an act!"

Joanna didn't have much contact with Xiao Mingyang, which is why she said such things. But Wilson saw with his own eyes every day at the company how Xiao Mingyang treated Lin Yuqing. If that wasn't true affection, then he really didn't know what kind of feelings could be considered genuine.

But he didn't want to expose this, because he didn't care about Joanna's life or death. He just wanted her to continue being obsessed, so that he could have a continuous stream of huge wealth!

With a fawning smile, Wilson nodded repeatedly and said, "I think so too. How can Lin Yuqing's looks and family background compare to Miss Joanna? Our young master must be bewitched by her to be unable to distinguish right from wrong. But one day he will know who is the one who truly deserves his love!"

Wilson spoke against his will while observing Joanna's reaction. When he saw that the time was right, he said, "If you need more information like this, I will provide it to you continuously, as long as you can afford the price!"

Joanna seemed to be in a good mood, gathering her long hair with one hand as she asked, "So, how many do you want this time?"

"Miss Joanna is so generous! Actually, I'm not a greedy person. This time, just give me one or two million!"

With a disdainful sneer, Joanna casually wrote a check and tossed it to Wilson, instructing, "If you have any news, call me immediately. But remember, the information you give me must be true and valid, otherwise, I'll make you suffer a terrible fate!"

"Yes, yes, don't worry, I would have done it even if you hadn't said anything!"

Joanna got up, too lazy to sit with such a greedy guy any longer, put on her sunglasses, and walked out of the bar.

Holding the check, Wilson was beaming. He called over the bartender and ordered a bottle of 82 whiskey.

"You've got a good alcohol tolerance!"

Wilson, his face flushed from drinking, saw a ramrod straight figure sitting in front of him.

Letting out a burp, Wilson, his eyes red, swayed and demanded, "Who...who allowed you to sit here!"

Hearing this, the man looked at him with amusement, then took out a pistol from his pocket, pointed it at Wilson, and said casually, "But no one said I wasn't allowed to sit here, right?"

Wilson was about to shout something when he felt a sharp pain in his neck, and he collapsed onto the table, unconscious.

Zhang Kaifeng glared disdainfully at Wilson, then peeked out his handsome face from under his hat. He gave a cold snort and muttered under his breath, "You think you're worthy of competing with Yuqing!"

After saying that, Xiao Mingyang reached under the table and took out a button-like object, greeted the bartender twice, and then left the bar.

……

Before long, the day arrived for Bob's press conference. Numerous media outlets arrived at the venue early, all hoping to secure a good spot.

At 9:10, amidst much anticipation, Bob, wearing a baseball cap and surrounded by bodyguards, appeared at the venue.

As soon as Bob was seen, cameras and video recorders were pointed at him, and the scene became noisy. The person in charge of the event took the opportunity to restore order, appease the media, and give a brief opening speech.

In a quiet corner of the venue, Joanna watched the scene unfold with smug satisfaction, eagerly anticipating the show to come.

In just half an hour, Lin Yuqing's reputation will be ruined. Let's see how she'll have the face to stay in England then! This is what happens when you dare to fight with Joanna: utter disgrace and nothing left!!

A sinister glint flashed in Joanna's eyes, and the corners of her mouth slowly curled up.

After a brief commotion, the room quieted down again, and everyone watched Bob nervously, waiting for him to begin.

After a moment of silence, Bob slowly raised his head. The flashing lights made him a little dizzy. He closed his eyes briefly before clearing his throat and saying, "Before we begin, I'd like to play you a recording."

Upon hearing this, everyone held their breath, quietly waiting for Bob to reveal his secret.

"Bob, as long as you listen to me and say that Lin Yuqing seduced you, you can clear yourself of suspicion!"

"Isn't this a lie?"

"Who cares about the truth? Everyone's only concerned with their own interests. You think you're being incredibly righteous by taking the blame for Lin Yuqing, but did she ever consider your feelings?"

"But... my relationship with the young mistress is completely innocent. How will she face people after doing this!"

"Hmph, you're so morally superior, taking all the blame upon yourself. But have you considered the consequences? From now on, there's no place for you here. All your previous efforts have been in vain. You'll carry a stain that you can never erase for the rest of your life! Lin Yuqing was framed, but she's still a wealthy heiress, living a life of luxury. But what about you? Bob, even if you don't think about yourself, you should think about your family. Can you bear to see them despised because of you? Here's five million US dollars. As long as you do exactly as I say, this money is yours!"
