The Heiress

Chapter 121

***

"Wow!" Chaeyoung exclaimed while looking at herself in the mirror. She never expected that the dress Lisa had given her would be this beautiful. It was a midnight black strapless gown that twirled down into shocks of midnight blue. It was decorated with Swarovski crystals that sparkled like stars, peeping into the indigo horizon. The dress was complemented with a choker necklace, made of glittering black diamonds.

To complete the overall look, Chaeyoung's hair was gathered in a messy French twist and embellished with small diamonds. To say that she looked like a queen was an understatement.

In her gown, Chaeyoung could easily pass as the goddess of the skies.

"You look beautiful." She heard Lisa whisper, as she hugged her waist. Chaeyoung was too engrossed in looking at her own appearance that she failed to notice that her wife was already standing behind her.

Chaeyoung smiled at Lisa before she turned to face her. She looped her arms around Lisa's neck, her gaze never leaving her deep, black eyes. "Happy birthday." She then gave Lisa a black box. "Open it."

The latter instantly opened the box and gave her a smile. "Thank you," Lisa said before she lifted the custom-made watch.

"Check out the engravings at the back" Chaeyoung said while smiling. Then, she watched as Lisa turned the watch around.

"To My Everything and Beyond. Love C." Lisa's eyes sparkled, as she gave Chaeyoung a gentle smile: something that not anyone but only Chaeyoung could see. It was broad, unrestrained. It was as if Chaeyoung just painted a ray of sunshine all over Lisa's face. "Thank you."

In response, Chaeyoung only smiled at her wife before giving her a peck on the cheek.

"Have you received mother and father's greetings?" She asked.

"I did."

"Have you told them about the current situation?"

"Of course not." Lisa smiled. "Though it was obvious that they were worried, knowing that we are literally on the Vercellos turf."

"I also received Grandfather Wang and Uncle Wang's greetings. Even Taehyung has called and asked when he can visit the island." Lisa added. Although no one else from their family knew the extent of their plan, they knew that both Chaeyoung and Lisa were in the country where it was rumored the Vercello Family was living.

In fact, they actually showed great objection about their actions of taking over the Zhou Family's Empire, especially, Old Man Wang and Jackson. Since they both knew about the danger that the Vercello Family could bring onto both Chaeyoung and Lisa.

When Lisa's parents got to know about their plan of taking over Zhou Empire, her mother instantly panicked and suggested to visit the island as soon as possible. They wanted to protect both Chaeyoung and Lisa and for them, the best way to do that was to go to the island and bring their armies with them.

Of course, both Lisa and Chaeyoung immediately declined their generous offer. It was simply because they didn't want to involve their families in the trouble that they were brewing. The duo wanted to make sure that their families stayed safe in Korea.

Although both of them already knew that their families were initially involved in the current matter, both Lisa and Chaeyoung still chose to keep their involvement as less as possible.

"Hmmm, it's better if they stay in Korea while Taehyung, father, and mother stay in Japan to manage our businesses." Chaeyoung said. "Don't worry too much, I am already on the final stages of making the second drone. I am about to finish the new software that I added. I will send it to Japan once it is done. Then, I will ask both of our grandfather's and uncle to move to Japn."
