The Villain's Wife 609 OffendedTheir conversation was interrupted when one of the Liu Family's maid walked towards Madam Liu. She bowed. "Madam, Miss Lily is here. She is…"

"Don't let her in." Liu Chin interrupted the maid. "I don't want to see that woman again, mother. Don't let her in." She turned towards her mother. "Lily was the one tho orchestrated that argument last time. She is manipulative and does not have any respect for us."

"Chin Chin… we should probably…"

"Did she say anything else?" Madam Liu asked the maid, interrupting Madam He's sentence.

"She… umm…. " The maid hesitated. "She said she came bearing gifts and if you won't let her in… she will call the Master."

"She will call my husband?" Madam Liu raised an eyebrow. "What arrogance." She snorted. "Did she think my husband will side with her?" She turned towards the maid. "Don't let her in."

"Understood." The maid started walking away from them.

"Who does she think she is?" Madam He blurted out. "Such arrogance will be her downfall soon."

"She must have known that I was the one who told Miss Brooke about the house."

"So what if we told her about that house? It's not a big deal." Liu Chin sneered. "We should probably tell Aunt Ruo about this or…" Liu Chin didn't continue her words when she heard her mother's phone rung.

"Please excuse me." Seeing that it was her husband, Madam Liu instantly rose from her seat. She walked a few steps away from the group of women before answering the call.

"WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?" her husband's loud voice boomed against her ears. Madam Liu flinched.

"What are you— "

"Why did you breach the confidence of one of our clients?"

"What are you talking about?" Madam Liu asked, confuse. However, she still kept her tone calm and gentle. After all, she was still standing next to her friends."And how dare you scream…"

"Check out your phone. I sent you some images… Lily Zhou's secretary just sent it to my secretary a couple of minutes ago!" her husband hissed. In response, Madam Liu frowned as she checked her phone.

Her husband never raised his voice or talked to her like this before. She instantly wondered what could make him do such a thing now. She opened an email and slowly, her eyes widened. She trembled, almost dropping the phone to the ground.

"Did you see it?" She heard her husband yelled on the other line. "DID YOU SEE IT?" he asked. Madam Liu eyed her friends as she walked even a few more feet away from them. She could not have them witnessed an argument like this.

"That is … that is the proof that you paid for Liu Chin's education! Do you know how Lily got ahold of this? What do you think will happen if your father or my father will hear about this? Ha? What have you done? Why did you provoke her?" her husband continued.

Madam Liu held the phone tighter, trying her best to stop herself from shaking. She could already feel her face losing its color from the possibility of their family knowing about the matter.

"This will be a huge scandal in my circle! Do you know how many people like the initiative of our company to give out scholarships to the unfortunate students? Do you know how many praises I received from my father because of this initiative? My family is in the Academe! What do you think will happen to the directorial position at the university?"

"You know how much I wanted that position to impress father! How could you — " Her husband continued to barrage her with words that she never heard him utter in the past.

"Husband…"

"What?" he hissed. "Are you going to say that you did it for our children?"

"I — husband… I don't understand why she would do this. This is …"

"Liu Linyue!" her husband interrupted her. Hearing him called out her name like this sent some throbbing pain in her chest. She could not even remember the last time that she heard him call her name like this. "Lily sending me this proof does not matter anymore! What I want to know is… why would you do this to Liu Chin when… I and my whole family owns a university! We are from the world of academics! We are proud, educated people who are known in the Academic industry! How could you — " Her husband let out a sharp breath.

"Husband… Do you…"

"How could you do this?" Her husband continued. "Your father is a very prideful man. What do you think will happen if Lily sends this information to him? This… Liu Linyue this is such a slap in your father's face. Do you think he will let our son and daughter work with him after this?"

"What about Liu Chin's friends? Her social circle that she worked so hard to build all over the years? Did you even think about this matter before doing this behind my back?" he hissed.

"Husband… please let me explain…"

"Explain? Lin Linyue… do you think I am so dumb? What are you going to explain? You faked our daughter's records to get her into the university that you liked. I told you to let her decide what she wanted! I told you not to meddle in her affairs! Now… what are you going to explain to me?"

"Husband… Liu Chin is just a child. How could you have her decide on her future? I only… I thought about having her take business management so she can work in my father's company. She is not particularly good at academics so I thought… I thought… there is no way that she will work in your school. Having my father take her under his wing would secure her future." She explained.

"As a parent, securing their future is our job. Do you really want her to waste her life doing travel videos and eating in prestigious restaurants?"

She heard her husband let out another sigh on the other line. "What you did was still wrong." Her husband uttered.

"I know… but… I did it for our daughter's future and I see nothing wrong with that."

"Liu Linyue… you did it for your pride. Not for Lin Chin."

"That is not…"

"Stop lying to me." Her husband interrupted. "I know that you don't want us to lose some face. I also know that you are only thinking about our prestige, but this… this might ruin everything that you worked so hard to build. This could ruin us."

"Then…" Madam Liu swallowed her non-existent saliva. "What do you want me to do?" she asked. Lily's smiling face then resurfaced in her mind.

"I don't know!" She could hear her husband paced. A habit that he always does while thinking. "How did you offend her? I thought... I thought you have such an excellent relationship with everyone out there?"

"I- I don't know." She lied.

"Her secretary said that you betrayed a client. Liu Linyue... I don't understand this statement. Why would she say that?"

"I don't know. I honestly don't know how I offended her."
