The Villain's Wife Chapter 498 Who is that?

The Villain's Wife 498 Who is that?"Miss Lily! What can you say about the rumors going on about Zhou Jingren and Goddess Cindy?" One balding reporter asked. Excitement shone in his face. Who would have thought that Lily would actually show herself today?

This — This is totally unexpected, ah.
In response, Lily lifted an eyebrow. She raised her shades up, revealing her eyes that seemed to become golden because of the lighting. She looked at the camera that was pointed on her and smiled. "Cindy... Who is that?"
An awkward silence blanketed the reporters. They stilled, unable to react to her words.
"If that's all… then… excuse me." Lily gave everyone a respectful smile before she walked out of the crowd and walked towards Zhou Jingren that was also walking her way. Seeing this, the reporters seemed to have woken up from their stupor and run towards Lily.
However, this time, Zhou Jingren's security already blocked them from approaching the couple. They can only watch as the woman in white hugged and kissed the man wearing a black suit. One in white, one in black… the two went inside the building hand and in hand and smiling towards each other as if… the reporters are not taking their every picture.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Cindy's loud screech echoed inside her flat. The loud crashing sound followed it.
"Miss Cindy! Miss Cindy! Are you alright?" her assistant Emily Tan walked towards her. She looked at Cindy, anxiousness covered her face.
"Do I look alright to you!?" Cindy hissed. "Turn that off! Turn it off!" She screamed as she pointed at the TV that was showing Lily and Zhou Jingren walking hand in hand towards the building.
"Miss Cindy — I…" Emily immediately panicked as she looked at the broken remote nearby. She ran towards the TV and unplugged it instead. She immediately sent a text to Cindy's manager and sister, Manager Hao, and Qiao Qiao. She knew that it will difficult to handle Cindy once she starts throwing a tantrum. She needed all the help that she could get.
"How dare she!?" Cindy said before letting out another shrill scream. "She doesn't know me? Who doesn't know me? Who doesn't know me!?" She yanked Emily's phone out of her hand and throw it towards the wall. "Answer me!?"
"I — Miss —" Emily reddened, tears pooled in her eyes. She wondered why would Cindy act like this. It was as if an award was taken from her hands. "I don't think anyone would dare say that." She mustered the courage to speak.
"See? I knew that woman is lying!" Cindy walked away from her and opened her phone. She then checked the people's comments from Weibo about the latest news that showed Lily asking the reporters about her.
[Ah! So they are together! Does this mean that Goddess Cindy was the mistress? Heart. Heart. I still love you, my goddess! Pick me instead.]
[Oi! Goddess Cindy is not a mistress! Would you dare say that in front of me!?]
[Did you guys miss her question? She doesn't know who Goddess Cindy is. Is this even true?]
[That woman is obviously lying!? Did you see the smirk on her face? Reminds me of a dangerous fox.]
[Scary. Scary. Here is the link about Lily Facci-Qin.]
"What is happening here?" Manager Hao's voice interrupted her stupor. "Why ruin the poor remote?" Manager Hao walked inside Cindy's room. "I would assume you already saw the news?"
"Of course, I would see it!" Cindy hissed at her older sister. "Just who is that woman? Why would she say that she doesn't know me?" She slumped down on the couch, pouting. "Does anyone in China doesn't know me?"
"Cindy… that woman is a foreigner. Understandably, she doesn't know you."
"Are you saying that I am not that famous?"
"Not to someone who runs an empire." Manager Hao sighed. "I was not expecting that this would blow up like this. I already talked to our CEO, and she specifically told me not to say anything. Whoever is behind this just gave you an opportunity to become more famous."
"So… I will just let them do this? My fans like CEO Zhou for me. Do you want me to issue a broad statement about the matter?"
"No. Let's not involve ourselves on this one."
"But why?" Cindy frowned. "Is it because I am not Qiao Qiao? Do you want her to win that award instead of your own sister?"
Manager Hao immediately knitted her brows. Memories of Lily walking with Zhou Jingren on that party resurfaced in her mind. She could clearly remember everything that happened during the launch of Harmony Isle. It was the time when she was with Qiao Qiao and both of them were stupid to believe that Zhou Jingren treated them special.
Memories of Lily's smile as she spoke on the stage were embedded in Manager Hao's memories. She would never forget that woman. "You misunderstood." She uttered. "As my little sister. I care about you. That Zhou Jingren and Lily were dangerous. Trust me… you wouldn't want to involve yourself in this matter."
"But why?" Cindy glared at her sister. "They are using my name! And that woman just insulted me! Can't I just… say something? Anything that will clear my name or insinuate that we are indeed in a relationship? I think this will be good for the upcoming awards."
Disbelief instantly flashed in Manager Hao's eyes. "No. I think… someone is using you. I think someone planned all this, and they wanted you to say something. If you do that… I am sure that they will do something else. Let's just avoid infuriating Lily and Zhou Jingren for now."
"But— "
"Cindy… we all know what's true. The man barely even looked at you that night! He did not even speak a single word to you! Just — just don't embarrass yourself, alright?"
Cindy frowned as she rolled her eyes. Just what can she expect from her sister?
"Do you understand me?"
"Alright." She nodded as she started reading posts on Weibo again. Not long after, Cindy a gleam of unfathomable expression flashed in her eyes as she shared one photo of Zhou Jingren and Lily.
She then added a broken heart caption to the photo.
