9 His Sister-In-Law

'Sigh. Look at this CEO. He tricked me so that I would appear at his company. On the record, it's the first time I came here.'

'Why didn't he use his tricky behavior to search for his wife and get the divorce he has been trying to get?'

Well, yes, that's him! Suddenly, he will call her out when he feels like doing an act in front of his friends, family, and now, his employees. But Vince once said he hates chasing a woman. He relies on his lawyers to pursue Eva but he still has no progress.

Shaking her head, Hailey heaved another inward sigh, then mumbled. 'Forgot his flash drive and left it at home? Why the heck didn't he bring his laptop, where he saved his precious confidential data and his important presentation?'

'It seemed he wanted me to appear in the company to be seen by his employees, which I was not prepared for. At least I want to wear a short, sexy dress to have a grand entrance. I didn't wear any makeup either. I'm upset!' She pouted in secret.

Hailey keeps mumbling in silence. She heaved in disbelief. She gathered her thoughts in one place and focused on her act. She keeps her sweet smile plastered on her face upon meeting Vince in the middle of the lobby.

Today, his company has several guests waiting for their appointment time to see certain personnel for business-related visits.

As of the moment, in front of them is the CEO, who is barely giving them a chance to meet in person to talk about a business proposal or business consultation. But today, he came down and met a girl whose assistant could do that.

Could it be that this girl is the rumored mistress? What a lucky Monday for them to meet her today!

Meanwhile, ignoring the curious people lounging in his company lobby, Vince warmly meets Hailey in the middle.

"Hi! Thanks for bringing it over!" said Vince. His voice is loud enough to be heard in the entire lobby.

What's more interesting in this scene is that Vince shamelessly shows his affection for his mistress. He leans over to plant a kiss on her cheek. For the female employee who witnessed this, their heart sank, and they fretted that someone had already won over their dream man. They once attempted to seduce the CEO and catch his attention, but he doesn't care about women but work. But what is happening now? He doesn't mind having a PDA!

Hailey didn't anticipate that this act would cause a heart attack threat. Suddenly, Vince kisses her on the cheek! That required 70 percent of her superpower not to slap him because her heart not only skipped one beat but countless beats!

Ugh. Why is he not sharing any of his plans? Her reaction would be awkward and poor if she weren't good at acting.

When she returned to her senses, Hailey stretched her hand and handed the flash drive to Vince. Now that she had delivered her task, she wanted to leave the place sooner.

"Here's your flash drive."

Vince takes it. He thanked her one more time. "It's quite a relief. I'm sorry for troubling you like this when you have a class soon."

'I'm glad you know! Can't you find another perfect time for your drama, CEO Shen? Ugh.' Hailey mumbled in her head.

Gracefully shaking her head, she responded to Vince, "Don't sweat it. It's the least I could do. Anyway, I have one hour before my class starts, and I can catch up as long as I won't get trapped in the traffic for an hour."

"Yeah, that was bad. The university is in the opposite direction from the penthouse toward my company."

"Yeah. So I better leave now," Hailey whispered.

Before Vince could say something, a woman's thundering voice echoed in the entire lobby.

"You!" The woman who had just arrived couldn't believe what she was witnessing right now. After looking at Hailey with sharp glares, she turned to Vince and accused him, "How dare you display your affair, and it should be in your company?! You really can't wait for my sister to divorce you?"

Darkening his facial expression, Vince remains calm in responding to the woman. "And where is your sister? She was supposed to sign the divorce papers a year ago. During that time, I haven't met Hailey yet. So don't drag her into this, Zenaida."

Pressing her lips from anger, Zenaida throws another glare at Hailey, who doesn't back down to wrestle her gaze at her. It was what Zenaida hated about Vince's mistress because the woman was arrogant. She is too proud because she had Vince's backing, and he showered her with everything.

Breathing in, Zenaida replied to Vince. "I'm trying to ask her friends if they know her whereabouts. But it doesn't mean she will divorce you! For what? So you can marry this woman? My sister will never allow you!" Zenaida looked sternly at Hailey, scanning her from her head down to her brown vegan high heels shoe.

But of course, Hailey only contoured a smirk in the corner of her mouth that pissed Zenaida.

In Hailey's head, she was clapping in amusement. 'Bravo. A round of applause, please!'

Here's Zenaida Lan, Vince's sister-in-law. She is one of the first people to immediately discover that Vince has a mistress. But the more she and Hailey cross paths, the more Hailey can see the jealousy in Zenaida's eyes. She is a woman, so she knew.

'Like, I didn't notice that you also like Vince, even though he is your sister's husband. Hah! Won't Eva divorce Vince? You just spoke on your behalf!'

Hailey sheepishly smiles at Zenaida while having this thought. She knows the woman gets annoyed at her because she is never afraid of her insults.

'You wish for your sister to divorce Vince, so you got your chance.' Hailey wishes to say this to Zenaida. But not today, and she won't embarrass Vince in front of his employees. It will be a women's war without Vince's presence.

Looking at Vince's mistress, she is badly annoyed. She doesn't like the way Hailey stares at her mockingly. She is Vince's sister-in-law! But this mistress is something! She was cursing Hailey for how thick her face was in her mind.

"Zenaida, if you plan to create a scene here, you better go home. Don't wait for me to drag you out."

Zenaida came back to her senses once she heard Vince's icy voice. In a flash, her chest filled with rage. Why does she have to be the one for Vince to scold? How dare he embarrass her this way! He must have forgotten that his wife is her sister! They are family!

She wants to raise her protest, but Vince shoots a warning glare at her face. Zenaida swallowed the lump in her throat. She swears. 'Just wait, bitch! I will show you your true color! People will know who you are! I'm sure you are a social climber! I will show the world that you are a gold digger!' 

Zenaida couldn't accept that Vince was intimate with another woman. She couldn't accept that Vince gave importance to someone, not his wife. He has changed a lot lately. She noticed that, since they were teenagers, she already had her eyes on Vincent. But her stupid family arranged for her sister to marry Vince instead of her! She is older than Eva, but she is just the daughter of a mistress. Her position in the Lan family is always below Eva's, and she hates it! She wished for her sister to disappear forever and never show up again!

While Zenaida fell into thought, Vince escorted Hailey toward her car. Jealousy crept toward her heart, watching him so gently with the other woman.

When does Vince spare a glance at her without sternness or disdain? Why did the other woman so easily catch his attention? Does she also win Vince's heart?

She was so happy when her sister Eva didn't care to live with Vince after their wedding. But her stupid sister stayed in the US and abandoned her husband. All these years that Vince and Eva have been married, she has remained by Vince's side. She did her best to please the Shen family and cover up Eva's stupidity. If not for Shen's financial backup, Lan Enterprise would be bankrupt and live on the street. 

But Vince never sees her effort to get close to him. She clearly understood that she could only stand beside him because Eva was married to him, and Hilda Shen recognized Eva as her daughter-in-law. As the sister, she received good treatment.

However, just because of another woman, Vince is now threatening her! She won't let this go! She'll one day destroy that mistress!
