The Heiress

Chapter 126

***

Antonio instantly furrowed his brows. "Destroy? Stop bluffing. Without your computer, you are pretty much useless."

"I agree." Chaeyoung nodded, her tone is languid and relaxed. Just now, Chaeyoung can't explain the sudden burst of calmness that seemed to shroud her. Embracing every part of her worried heart. Replacing it with obvious excitement. Chaeyoung wondered if this was something that she inherited from her father or mother or maybe both. The thrill of being in a dangerous situation.

Speaking of her father, Chaeyoung looked at her watch. To force her father to act, Chaeyoung used the same strategy that the Lee Family used to corner Claire. This was a gamble. A gamble that Chaeyoung was not willing to lose. However, she really wanted to end this as soon as possible. Especially now that she discovered something special just this morning.

Chaeyoung unconsciously took a deep breath before she propped her head into her palm and smiled at Antonio. "You just told me that Lisa was dead." She stated. "And threatened to kill my family if I would not become your puppet."

Antonio narrowed his eyes at Chaeyoung. The smile plastered on her face is somehow making him uneasy inside. This should not be the case! Antonio chastised himself. He is the senior with tens of years of experience. Why would he felt some fear from Chaeyoung? She is but a woman, a young one at that. No matter how smart she is, Antonio's experience is something that she could not compare with.

"Tell me, Antonio… what do you think I would do now?" Chaeyoung said. "Since you already planned everything… what do you think would I do at this point?"

"Do you think I should give in? Or…" she made a deliberate pause before giving an eerie grin. "Kill you and everyone here including myself."

"Bluff!" The first elder instantly yelled. "You think we would let you go without agreeing to our terms? Is either that or you, your grandmother, uncle, and cousin will die!"

"Bluff?" she said, her gaze never leaving Antonio, instantly making the latter uncomfortable. "I don't bluff. I don't make threats as well… Let me give you a demonstration." Then she shifted in her seat and covered her ears using her hands before she looked at Wang Bolin. "Cover your ears."

The latter instantly did what Chaeyoung instructed and....

"BOOOMMM!"

A loud explosion was heard, surprising everyone. It was obvious that the explosion was located near the mansion as everyone witnessed the windows of the mansion shatter in front of their eyes. The furniture's started to jump up and down as chunks of the ceiling were are coming down. The vibrations continued for a while before it came to a full stop.

Silence…

Everything happened quickly that everyone's brains seemed to have stopped working. Their faces blank and white, unable to make sense of what was happening. That is until a sudden laugh woke them up from their stupor.

It was Chaeyoung. And she was crazily laughing at them… the calmness that she felt a while ago was gone. Now it was totally replaced by a mirthless excitement. It was something that Chaeyoung never felt before... or maybe once. Something that had been awakened inside her just minutes ago. Then her laughter turned into strangled cries. An otherworldly sound that would be scary to some.

Chaeyoung felt liberated. Her heart beat fast as she closed her eyes. This feeling was something that she could never forget. This was the feeling that she had the night after she had killed Wendy Choi, her first kill. This was the same excitement that made her feel so light and... relieved.

Chaeyoung then opened her eyes and watched as the people on the table was now standing. They were looking at her as if she was a monster, a beast, someone capable of making the sun and the moon cowered before her.
