"We will choose our child. Probably take a few days off till our child is healthy," One of the reporters answered.

"I would have done the same but I don't have a child," Yu Mei nodded, "I do have a company which has been like that of my own child to me. So, that's what I did. I had my issues at that moment but I had not abandoned my work. I could have managed to make it through it but you all wanted headlines and that got my employees and company in a mess. Because of you, the clients demanded the President of Rosette to step out of the shadows and show her face even though nothing so ridiculous have happened since the day I had established the company," She paused, "Oh well, you can sue me if you did not get proper headlines back then as I stopped your ruthlessness by placing an impostor in my place. Let's see who wins the case."

The reporters were stunned by her outburst. Usually, people keep up a facade in front of the media members to not tarnish their reputations but this woman was one of a kind.

"What? You have never been called out by anyone for your immorality?" She laughed in disdain, "Mentally prepare yourself for this every time you approach me or Rosette from now on," Taking a brief pause, she glanced at the two reporters who had berated her with terms like 'bitchy and unethical', "Expect my lawyer at your doorsteps by tonight for running your mouths with insufficient claims to prove your point."

With that, she threw the mic aside and flipped her hair before walking off the stage.

Troublesome people. Since they wanted to be humiliated so desperately, she did not mind helping them out with that.

The Directors and Vice President followed the woman as they walked out of the conference room leaving the reporters in a chaotic state of mind.

"Get me every detailed production check report from the last month till this day," Yu Mei looked at the directors as they walked out of the hotel.

"Yes," They bowed slightly and left.

She was relieved that there were no unnecessary questions from their side as Director Xiang has explained the situation to them. Moreover, they had barely seen her once or twice in the past so she was sure they won't have any doubts regarding her identity.

The Vice President bowed slightly before he looked at her, "President, you have changed a bit," He said, looking at her face.

Yu Mei paused for a moment, "I had some skin infection a few weeks ago." She did not elaborate further because this was expected.

Unlike the Directors, she had a little more interactions with the Vice-President.

The old man nodded and bowed again before he turned around and left.

She let out a soft sigh and walked towards the parking lot. Luckily her features were almost the same as her old self and she has only become a bit fairer.

The moment she stepped inside the underground parking lot, the lights went off.

"What the-umm...." Her mouth was sealed with tape as she felt someone lifting her up.

Her hands moved in a swift motion striking the person's neck.

'Bam'

The person fell to the ground as he groaned when she landed on top of him.

She pushed herself to her feet and stomped on the person digging her heels on his body causing him to groan in pain.

Just as she raised a hand to remove the tape from her mouth, someone restrained her hands from the back.

She moved one of her legs in an attempt to kick the person but in the next second, a cold metal was pressed against her forehead.

She froze.

'Mia...' She called for the woman again and again in her mind but there was no response.

Is that a network issue? Yu Mei pursed her lips, 'Mia, are you there? What the heck are you doing? Can you hear me?'

"I can hear you," Came Mia's voice beside her ear and although Yu Mei could not see anything, she was sure that the fox was sitting on her shoulder, swishing her tail.

'Then help me out of this,' she spoke in her mind. Nobody could hear Mia's voice but hers will not go unheard as she had no special powers or abilities.

"I am going through something serious. Can't help you," Came the vixen's charming voice.

'Going through what?'

"Hormonal Imbalance," The vixen sighed. Even that sigh was seductive.

But that was not where Yu Mei had her focus on. Hormonal Imbalance? Was she in heat? Did she need a man?

Yu Mei was clueless about this whole situation, especially with a gun placed on her head, she did not know what to do.

"Who paid you to act as the CEO of Rosette?"

The moment she heard the voice, her brain went dead for a split second. This was not what she expected when she stepped inside this underground parking lot.

"Speak," The man who was restraining her hands spoke coldly.

Her eyes teared up. She opened her mouth to say something but she could barely say something as there was tape on her lips. She could only stand there frozen as her tears rolled down her cheeks.

Probably, only then did someone realize that she had a tape on her mouth.

The lights in the parking lot came back within an instant causing her to close her eyes instinctively.

The person who was restraining her hands set them free as she felt a hand on her face.

She opened her eyes and pushed away the hand before removing the tape off her mouth hurriedly.

The sudden pain made her suck in a cold breath.

She glanced at the man standing in front of her begrudgingly.

'Bam.'

The gun in the person's hand landed on the floor the moment his gaze settled on her face.

"Jian Yu," Without a moment's delay, she pounced on him and buried her face in his chest.

Her sobs growing softer.

Han Jian Yu froze.
