Unexpected Second Chance at Love - Chapter 946 The latest news

Chapter 946  The latest news

Reaching her room, Ji Chu Hua takes out her phone and dials a number before bringing her phone up to her ear. It didn’t take long for the line to connect. However, she spoke first and did not give the person she called a chance to answer. The original appearance of this chapter can be found at Nôv3l–Biin.

“I know you have seen today’s news. Find out who leaked those photos and silence them. I’ll compensate you 100,000 yuan if you finish the job quickly.”

Without waiting for a response, she hung up and tossed her phone on the bed.

Her eyes, which were usually sweet and docile in front of others, were dark and menacing. If the person who brought this anger upon her were standing in front of her, they would have been stabbed to death just by her gaze.

Staring at her phone, her right hand holds her left elbow and nibbles on her fingernails. Her quickly changes from full of rage to unease.

She couldn’t help but think about something she remembered the night before.

‘You took what isn’t yours, and now you must pay. ‘

She might have left the room in a hurry, but she could still hear the words from the ghost’s mouth. It was as if the paranormal incident she had encountered had followed her home. However, she couldn’t get one thing off her mind. Why did the ghost say that?

“I took something that isn’t mine…?”

She mutters the word with eyes searching her room as she racks her brain over the question. Unable to find anything out of place, she felt all the hair on her body stand on end. However, it wasn’t out of fear but in frustration.

She scoffs a laugh at how ridiculous she is behaving and runs her hand through her hair. “Only an idiot would be acting like this.”

She inhales a deep breath and throws all her thoughts out the window. She walked to her bed and reached for her phone, but before the tips of her fingers could touch it, her entire body froze in place.

Her eyes shook as they grew wide, and she slowly shook her head in denial.

“No… That’s impossible…”

She abruptly turns her head, her eyes locked with the shut double door to her walk-in closet.

With her head still shaking in denial, she strides to the door without looking away. Once she was in front of it, she wasted no time and opened the door.

The sensor lights installed inside automatically switch on, and all the colors on her face are drained of life.

Staring back at her was a beautiful Adriatic mist, Rhonda Taffeta dress.

The dress, still wrapped in its plastic cover, hung in the center of the walk-in closet, outshining all her designer products.

As she strode towards the dress, a sinister light flashed across her murderous eyes.

She grabs the dress without any attention or admiration and throws it onto the floor with all her strength. “Han Yue Ling! Han Yue Ling!!!”

She screams the name of the woman she loathes and stomps on the dress, not caring that the dress does not belong to her.

Feeling like the anger she released has not subsided, she storms to a dresser in the room and retrieves a pair of scissors. ‘Sszzz’

The sound of fabric tearing resonated throughout her walk-in closet.

Her expression twisted sinisterly, and she cut a part of the dress, then another and another, ruining the beautiful dress designed with time and patience by the designer.

“Why are you everywhere?!!! Ahh!!!!”

Unaware of the catastrophe that surfaced in Imperial, Yue Ling arrived at De L’amour. She enters the building and sees a few of her employees gathered around Sophia’s desk.

“My God. I can’t believe how shameless they are to run out in public like that. How do you think they plan to cover this up?”

“I wish I had been there to witness it firsthand. It would have been funnier.”

“This is the greatest news. Now, everyone will know the true color of their skin. Dark, dirty, and disgusting, just like their heart and soul.”

“Don’t forget how crazy they are, too.”

Laughter broke out among the colleagues like they were having tea at a restaurant instead of at work. As they continued their discussion, Sophia noticed Yue Ling and her eyes lit up.

“Good morning, CEO Han.”

At the mention of Yue Ling, everyone in the crowd jumped in surprise. Each person turns to look at their boss and swallow a hard gulp.

Despite working under her for many years, they can never tell when she is having a good or bad day. Also, they were laughing early in the morning when they should have been preparing for De L’amour’s new apparel launch.

Yue Ling felt the atmosphere shift, and she was perplexed. She looked at her employees with a straight expression, but deep down, she was holding in the urge to laugh.

She felt like a predator standing in front of her prey.

Unaware of the others’ fearful expressions, Sophia skips over to her boss with a tablet in hand. She unlocks the screen and hands it over.

“CEO Han, have you seen the latest news?”

As the others watched the young receptionist near their boss, each person held their breath and thought the same.

‘Had she gone mad?’

Yue Ling ignored the rest of her employees gathered at the receptionist’s desk and kept her eyes on Sophia. Looking at the tablet handed to her, she takes it and lowers her head.

She raised one eyebrow upon reading the title, and the corners of her lip slowly curled. “Interesting.”

The sudden smile on her face was angelic and captivating but combined with the glint of light in her bluish-green eyes, made her employee shiver. To outsiders, they might be mesmerized by her beautiful appearance at this moment, but to them, they knew that expression all too well.

It was the smile she made when something really caught her attention, or someone was going to stop breathing the same air as her.

Between the two, they will never know.

Skimming through the tablet, Yue Ling hands it back to Sophia and smiles.

“Thank you for showing this to me. You can go back to work.”

She looks away from the young lady and turns her attention to the others.

“The rest of you return to your stations. There is still work to do.”

Without waiting to see their reaction, she makes her way towards the elevator.
