Secret Marriage:The Wolf And The Sheep Chapter 147
Advertisement
Chairwoman Lu leaned back in the chair in her home office as she received the news of yet another failure. She rubbed her fingers over her forehead cursing the turn of events that had made her helpless like this. She had taken so many preemptive measures to make sure that Xie Eun fell into her trap but nothing seemed to work. She even had to resort to dealing with dirty goons since the Yoo's failed to kill her. And she did not like the attitude of the young brat. She had saved his life so that they would be indebted to her not so that he could sneer at her. She would have to talk to Elder Yoo and she would have to talk to her brother...She had kept the favors, these two owed her very carefully and she did not want to use both the chances on a small ant like Xie Eun. She did not understand how that General Xie had snagged such a powerful man like Wolf.
Yu Seok...Ever since she read the name,she was even more worried. She felt it was a terrible coincidence that the person named Wolf was called Yu Seok and carried the same name as the dead child of the Yoo family. If she had not made sure that her father died when saving Yoo Seok,she would have worried that this person was the same as lost child of the Yoo's..But Yu .Seok seemed to be a brat from the village and he had risen here with the help of the General..And the man was trained really well in avoiding traps and foiling attacks.
Lady Lu walked to the small bar on the side and poured herself a glass of whiskey. She had come this far,played so many games and tricks,not so that she could lose in the end. She had even planned the murder of her own father to gain her brother's favor.She did not understand why the little brat Xie Eun could not die! She had killed the girl's mother successfully and even her husband had not suspected anything until the last moment. Even her father had believed that she was on his side.And even that Xie Eun had been so trusting of her.. But General Xie had put this hurdle in her path to success! She's had enough of these little games of hide and seek. The girl would have to die!And so would that person named Yu Seok. She hated the name anyway..

Sipping the whiskey in her hand,she swirled it a bit,the light reflecting off it,making her aura seem mysterious and even more dangerous..Picking up her phone,she decided to use this last chance before she would choose to contact her brother..
But before she could make the call,her phone rang with a private number. She frowned att his sudden call,because this man usually contacted her only once a year to ask her updates about the Yoo's and she had already told him everything she knew.
She answered the phone and the other person barked into the phone,"What is going on with the Yoo's?They have started investigating the past? Someone is trying dig out files?Why?"
This caused the lady to frown as she heard this. The person on the phone was her brother's right hand man and the person she used to spy on her brother. If he was calling her to ask this then that meant her brother was involved now.
Before she could answer,a cold voice came onto the phone,"Little sister.Many years ago,we had a deal.I have kept my end of the bargain for so long but why do I feel that your end is left a little messy? That time I listened to you and let that Yoo Shiro go,because you wanted leverage with the Yoo's. I would have preferred that both the brats burn in hell but you advised agains it and let one go..and now that one is interfering in our business. And you have also challenged the CEO of Alpha Companies? Are you crazy? Do you know his people are also trying to dig your information and almost finished off my men in the process? Do you know who Wolf is? I may be one of the most powerful men in the underworld but there is something greater than me. And that is money?Do you think that everyone is scared of CEO Wolf just because he cleaned a few people?No you fool!Killing and murder is common! He is scary because he controls all the money in this part of the country! And you are out to challenge him!Let me warn you if something bad occurs because of you,I will renege on my promise!"

Having heard her brother ranting at her,Lady Lu also lost her patience and snapped,"How dare you threaten me?Have you forgotten how you reached the position you are in now?And money? I am the one who controls all your money! I have helped make all the fraud companies so that you can launder your money!And why do you think I am doing this? Once the company is in Xie Eun's hands and if she looks deeply enough she will find the discrepancies and then I will be the one going down!"
She thought that she had won the argument when her brother's voice sounded," You may have helped initially,but do not think that I am not aware that you had your own selfish reasons. And you have received your share of dirty money over the years so do not pretend that you have done anyone a favor. But let me tell you,if my interests are harmed because of you, I will make sure that you are buried six feet under the ground before you can say sorry!"
Snap!And the phone was disconnected...
