The Female Lead Is A Lesbian - Volume 1 Chapter 23 Let's Go

What was in the package was incredibly beautiful jewelry. This including a large green jade bracelet that was almost transparent, it seemed to be imperial jade. A medium sized ring with an oval shaped, dark purple amethyst in it. A necklace with a large purple sapphire in the middle with smaller colorless sapphires decorating the rest of the necklace. A heart shaped opal gemstone with a pure milk white color with bright green and red flecks mixed in. Then there were actual gemstones not made into jewelry, such as a palm sized rectangular shaped emerald, a medium sized square shape rose quartz, and a medium sized square shaped smoky quartz.

Zoey was amazed at what she saw, she could feel the essence pulsing out from the gemstones, she even started to drool slightly at the beautiful sight. She lightly traced her fingers across the jewelery and was breathless at the smooth and cool texture of them all. She was about to absorb the energy from them but, she quickly shook her head. She had never absorbed the essence of a gemstone before and didn’t know exactly what would happen if she did. She decided to do it privately to make sure she didn’t draw any attention to herself and to observe how drastic a change she had to her body. She put the items into her storage and started to walk down the alley again, made it back to the sidewalk and began walking the way she was before. While she walked, she started asking Sky, “Oh, my little Sky can you tell me a few things. One, how far are we from the nearest junk yard or scrap yard. Two, how many views are there of the video we just posted. Finally, three, can you tell me the approximate amount of the gemstones I have stored.”

[*Hmph*]

Zoey was shocked at Sky’s sudden pouting and tried to figure out what was wrong. She gasped slightly when she remembered how she babied and cuddled Cody. She smiled and said tauntingly, “OH, you were jealous of Cody.”

[I thought he was your little honeybun]

Zoey snickered a reply, “*heheh* He is but, you’re MY little one, my creation, my child isn’t that enough?”

[Mmm-hmm, yeah it is]

Zoey loved seeing Sky’s face turn a bright red and squealed silently. She took a deep breath and kept herself composed again. She then said, “Now can you answer my questions, pretty, pretty, PLEASE.”

[Ah, yes. The nearest junk yard is approximately 4 miles from where you’re standing. The video you’ve posted anonymously has 400,000 views. The most you can probably get for all of the jewelry and gemstones is 225,000 USD the rose quartz and smoky quartz will probably be more valuable if made into jewelry though.]

Zoey chuckled, once she heard the amount of money, she knew Sky only calculated the amount she could get online. She started to wonder how much she could get by using her ‘negotiation’ tactics on an unsuspecting jewelry store. Her chuckle became even more malicious after hearing the amount of views on the video and continued to say, “Okay, hears the deal, I want you to send the video to any news stations you can and to people of power that Rose has around her finger and worship her. Also tell me the address of that junkyard”

[Understood]

Zoey stopped in her tracks and took deep breath out as she cracked her neck by moving it side to side. She hopped up and down a little, ignoring the people staring, and started running towards the address.

(In the black car)

Cody and Isaac sat next to each other. Isaac just couldn’t get his mind off of Zoey and was deep in thought on how to make her, his wife while he leaned onto his hand and stared out the window. Cody, who still held the ice pack on his arm, noticed this and bluntly said, “Don’t even think about it.”

Isaac looked at Cody with a cold expression but, this time with an eyebrow raised. “What do mean by that?” Isaac asked.

“*HMPH* You know what I mean. You’re thinking of pursuing of my pretty, big sister and making her your wife. But, that’s not gonna work at all and don’t even try to deny it you know what I can do.” Cody said haughtily with a smirk and a sharp gaze.

Isaac knew what Cody was talking about and knew it would useless and quite stupid to lie. This is because, for some reason, Cody can tell whenever someone is lying or telling the truth and could sometimes know what people are thinking, his dad especially. Isaac and his company have benefited from this several times.

From interviewing marriage candidates, to sitting with employees who are suspected spies, and meetings with new companies to see their true intentions. Cody was always there to see their true intentions and see through them. This stopped Isaac from marrying gold diggers, firing traitors, and choosing not to cooperate with shady C.E.Os whose companies were either scams, a waste of time, and/or did illegal activities.

Though there were a few downsides as not being able to lie to him. As almost every parent tells their children some kind of lie in their life. Isaac looked over to Cody and asked, “Why is that not gonna work at all?”

Cody sneered a reply, “Well for starters she’s my pretty, big sister and I’m not gonna give her too you. Also, after what you just pulled, she’s not your biggest fan and will only contact you to contact me. Then, there’s the fact she’s young and still in college. Oh, and the fact she’s already married.”

Isaacs’s eyes widened and he sat up and blurted out, “What you mean she’s married?”

Cody rolled his eyes and continued, “I remember reading something in the news about the playboy son of the Rongs getting married and Zoey’s picture popped up in the article.”

Isaac sat back in the seat and rubbed his chin, “She’s married to the Rongs son, is that why she didn’t ask for money. She is probably a gold digger.”

Suddenly he felt a punch to his arm, it wasn’t so hard that he felt pain, but he could still recognize it as a punch. He looked over to Cody whose face was red, jaw clenched, and eyes filled with fire. His face was screaming with rage and he kept a clenched fist. Isaac looked at Cody in confusion and asked, “What was tha-“. Before he could finish Cody interrupted him, “Don’t ask me what that was for!”, Cody was mad but, restrained himself from shouting, “You thought badly about my pretty sister, probably thinking she was a gold digger! I’m not gonna let anyone talk or even think badly about her if I can help it! Did you even wonder why she was wearing those clothes! Did you ever hear of any gold digger who would go out in public in such an outfit! And even though she didn’t wear a ring she didn’t have any evidence that she ever wore one for long periods of time. Also, she still goes to college despite being married to a rich guy and there have been several upon several rumors, stories, and pictures of Alex going to restaurants and other romantic places with other women when he’s supposed to be ‘married’. But, for some reason I’ve never seen or heard of a picture nor a story of him going out with Zoey, not even a peep or the smallest rumor. Now that there doesn’t make sense because the Rong family reputation was pretty much saved by Alex getting married and proving he ‘changed his ways’. So, you’d assume that he’d treat Zoey well and go out with her in the public to prove this and to keep Zoey happy, so she doesn’t do anything uncalled for. But, for some ‘strange reason’ he doesn’t do this at all in fact he did the opposite. On top of that her phone is very, very, old and I took the liberty of scrolling through her contacts and the numbers only seemed to be her friends, family, and Alex. Another thing you should consider is the fact the Changs and Rongs suddenly started to cooperate and a few days, not months or even weeks, later Zoey and Alex announced their marriage. So, taking all this what conclusion can you come too?”

During his outburst Cody slowly calmed down and his voice returned to normal. Isaac looked at him, not shocked about his outburst, but what he just learned about Zoey. His only main focuses were his company, Cody, his safety, Cody’s safety, and his family. So, he rarely paid attention to rumors, news, or other families unless they seemed to have any ill intentions or posed the slightest threat. He was back in deep thought, on why this was, well he was until Cody blurted out,”*EH EH* You took too long to answer so I’ll answer for you. Honestly you have million-dollar company but, you can’t recognize a gold digger, white lotus, or figure this out if the answer hit you in the crotch, *SIGH* sometimes you disappoint and embarrass beyond belief father.”

Isaac’s lip twitched in annoyance at his son’s sassiness but, let Cody continue speaking as he had no answer himself. While the driver gripped the steering wheel tight too hold in his laughter, “From what I can tell it seems Donny Chang basically sold his least favored daughter to the Rongs as a wife so they can save their family from shame by marrying her to their playboy son. Also judging by her appearance and fighting skills she was never taught etiquette and is not provided money by any of her family, so she learned to defend herself. She was brought up well so she must have a good mom or guardian. Also, once again considering the fact that she’s young and a most likely determined college student, was probably threatened to go through with the marriage by her father. So pretty big sister is basically stuck in no win, no win situation either suffer in a terrible marriage or don’t and suffer by the hand of her rich father with a lot of influence and pull.” Cody had finished quite quickly.

Isaac clenched his hands tightly in anger, the fact that Zoey was going through such a hell threw him into a rage. He wondered how he could help Zoey with her situation when, once AGAIN, Cody interrupted his train of thought, “Don’t even think about that either.” Isaac stared at Cody again when he continued, “What should you not think about, you want to ask? Great question, you shouldn’t be thinking about helping, big sister. Why, you like her, and I like her and she’s in a terrible situation, right? Another great question, because if we get involved it’s not likely we’ll make the situation better, probably the opposite. Then, there’s the fact that big sister is strong willed and independent, so she probably won’t want any help and is already planning revenge as we speak but, she’s not that proud that she won’t ask for help when she needs it. Then again, she probably won’t, oh well, only time will tell. So, all in all, unless she asks for help don’t pry or get involved, got it?”

Isaac clenched his jaw and slightly pursed his lip with his hands still clenched in frustration. But he sighed out his nose knowing Cody was right. Just by talking and looking at Zoey for a few minutes he could tell she was a very proud, intelligent person and everything Cody said about her is likely to be true. He sighed in his mind as he unclenched his jaw, hands, and lips, “*SIGH* Such a difficult woman.”

(In front of the gate of junk yard)

Zoey stood at the gate, “*Achoo* Somebody must be talking shit about me,” she muttered under her breath. She shook her head to get back on task and began stretching her body.

After five minutes she felt limber enough to try to hop over the fence but, before she did said in her head, “Sky, honey make sure any phones or security cameras, or well anything can record me.”

[Understood]

Zoey then took a deep breath and hopped onto the chain link fence. Zoey flared her nostrils at the smell of the dirty, old, rusty metal but, she kept climbing. Luckily there seemed to be no security precautions beside the fence, like barbed wire or dogs. So, Zoey climbed over quite easily landed, on her feet with a *thud* and kicking some dust as well from the ground. Zoey looked around and pulled her hood on her head and dusted herself off before walking further into the junk yard.

After about twenty minutes Zoey had gathered an old washing machine, two old fridges, two old dishwashers and two old dryers. She put them all side to side in a clearing in the yard with two massive pile of junk surrounding her sides and only a clear path before and ahead of her.

Zoey then took out a small switch blade out her storage and make a small cut on her finger and put it back, so now her finger had a small bleeding cut not as deep as it was supposed be based on the pressure she applied. She then proceeded to take out the smoky quartz out of her storage and looking closer at it she could see some kind of mist surrounding it. “That must be the essence,” she thought. She took a deep breath and absorbed the essence and energy. At first, she felt a warmness in her palm, then it felt like a warm river going up through her arm, travelling to her chest, then her legs, then her other arm, finally to her head.

Zoey felt relaxed and blissful when suddenly the river flowing through her body went from warm to boiling. “*AGH*,” Zoey cried out, she couldn’t speak or move her body was numb, yet she felt herself being cooked alive. Her heart beat faster and faster while her forehead greased itself in sweat and more sweat beads rolled down her neck while also rolling down her forehead into her eyes stinging them. Finally, when she felt like her heart was going to explode, it was like all the heat just shot out of her body. Zoey bent down and placed her hands on her knees while breathing heavily, “*HUFF HUFF HUFF HOO HUFF*.” While during all of this she kept the smoky quartz tightly gripped in her hand.

Her sweat dripped onto the ground as she held her bent over stance. Finally, she took deep breath and stood up straight as she put the quartz back into her storage. She then took a look at the finger she cut and saw that it had completely healed. She took her knife out again and cut her finger again with the exact same pressure. This time it didn’t bleed though the skin slightly broke and it turned a bit red. Zoey was shocked that the gem would have such a great effect.

She then looked up at the appliances she had laid out and decided to go for one of the fridges. She placed herself in front of the brown and back fridge that used be a pure white. She made her hand into a fist and pulled her arm back and punched the fridge with all of her might.

The fridge slid back a foot or two before falling onto its back. Zoey stood with her mouth open but, snapped out her trance to walk towards the fallen fridge. The fridge had a huge dent in the middle in the shape of Zoey’s fist. The dent was about three inches deep and about four inches wide.

Zoey’s mouth became that of fish before curling into a huge as she shouted, “*ha hahaha* HOT DAMN! WHOO!” Zoey felt feeling of triumph and joy. Though originally in her past life her punch would cause SO much more damage. But, right now she could knock out a guy like that bald thug with two punches max while before she absorbed the gemstones essence her punch would barely cause a bruise, not even a chance to break a nose, let alone knock someone out.

So, to Zoey this was a huge milestone. She stepped away from the fridge and all the appliances and took the rose quartz out and exclaimed, “Ok, let’s do this! LET’S GO!”
