The CEO's Woman Chapter 384 Last One to Laugh

Chapter 384 Last One to Laugh

Seeing his mother's slump back, Carlisle couldn't stop but only feel resentment in his heart. His gaze landed on Jiang Yue. It was all that woman's fault. Now that the King told everyone that he was not his son… it would be very difficult to poison him further.
In the end, the throne would end up being given to Jiang Yue. Anyway, she would not have any motive to hurt her father.
"Father, I…" He said, his head lowered.
"It's not your fault. She has deceived us all." Gideon said. "I just have been too merciful..." he roamed his eyes over the Ministers, before pausing his gaze at the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance. "Many people have forgotten that I am from the Li Family. Some bugs have even dared to betray me."
Both the Prime Minister and the Minister of Finance silently gritted their teeth. Gideon's gaze was way too obvious. Obviously, he knew about what they had done! He knew about their betrayal!
"I will not be lenient anymore. Everyone who has betrayed me will suffer the consequences of their actions." Gideon stated before eyeing Jiang Yue. He wondered if she was impressed with his performance. Would she agree to become the Queen after this?
"Miss Jiang, I apologize for this inconvenience. We have already wasted a lot of your time." He said while looking at Jiang Yue. He then looked at the Prime Minister, as well the Prince, and the Minister of Finance who was still standing. "What are you still standing for? Do you want to make a presentation as well?"
Gideon's overall attitude had surprised a lot of people in the room. Why did it seem like the man was totally different from the previous King that they knew?
"Miss Jiang, please continue your presentation. I am very interested in this program of yours."
...
Meanwhile, Queen Ah-Joong or already just Kim Ah-Joong was walking spiritless toward the prison, which was just below the meeting room where Gideon and his Ministers were having their meeting with Jiang Yue. All that had happened was too surprising for her.
She never thought that the Li family would coordinate with Jiang Yue and let her do all the planning. Did they really decide to make her a Queen? But that would break all the customs and traditions that this country had.
Jiang Yue would become the first woman to rule their country and be the Queen ever. That would be…
'No,' she thought inwardly. She would never let that happen. Some people would think that she was done for. But they would be ultimately wrong!
She would never let that woman's daughter experience happiness.
The throne had been with the Li Family for too long. It had to stop!
Then, she remembered all their planning and Mr. Wu. That's right! Mr. Wu and Operation Hermes were still there.
Kim Ah-Joong fetched her phone and dialed a number while smirking inwardly. Good thing that she remembered about that before she arrived at the prison, where the guards would take away her personal belongings, including her phone.
At that point, Kim Ah-Joong could only hope that her son would be smart enough to properly handle the situation and gain the approval of the Ministers, as well as the people of their country.
After a minute, she felt her phone vibrate as her lips curled up into a devious smile. In a while, the city and the country would be enveloped in chaos. While she would be sitting inside the prison, watching the show.
Since that Jiang Yue was so prideful, she would be very happy to watch how that woman would be trying to solve all the mess that she had created.
Mr. Wu told them that Jiang Yue would not be able to solve it all by herself. And to her knowledge, that woman did not bring any of her employees with her.
Let's see how that Jiang Yue and the Li family would end up crying today.
"What are you smiling at?" She heard one of the guards when he saw her smiling.
"In the end, I am still the last one to laugh..." she answered before falling into another puddle of laughter.
