The Villain's Redemption Chapter 242 Maze of Schemes

Chapter 242 Maze of Schemes

Bella stared at him before she smiled. "Yeah. I just… I was really upset when he used Su Xieren to try and make me leave the country."
"He thought you still liked him?"
She nodded in response. How could these people become so full of themselves? Her father still thought that she was doing this for attention? Why does it seem that he was underestimating her too much?
"So… he thought that you would choose a cheater over me?" Mo Li chuckled. The old man seemed to look down on his daughter too much? Mo Li sigh inwardly. "I was your first love and he knew that." He mumbled. "First love never dies, you know."
This statement made her laugh." What are you talking about?" she asked.
"Don't you agree with me?"
Her lips thinned before she smiled. "I have a surprise for you."
Mo Li squinted his eyes, a mischievous grin appeared on his face. "What is it?"
"I sent it to your email. You can use your phone to check."
"Do you want me to choose lingerie for you?"
"Excuse me?" she gasped in horror. "Why would you even think that?"
"Because… we just got married?" he lifted an eyebrow as he opened his email. "Oh, hmmm…. This…."
"Why do you look so disappointed? I would act as your political analyst. This is my job. I just finished it in a few hours so… hmmmmm." Bella widened her eyes when Mo Li suddenly planted his lips towards hers. The kiss wasn't soft nor gentle, in fact, she found it rough, demanding, and somehow it felt nostalgic.
Was it because she missed Mo Li from all those years ago?
No, this is a different kind of emotion.
Before she could process all her thoughts, the soft ringing of Mo Li's phone interrupted them.
"Hm?" Mo Li pulled away and answered his phone. Of course, his gaze was still glued at Bella. "Is that so?" he spoke. "Alright… hmmm. Yes. I will call you back in a few minutes. Alright. I will see you tomorrow." He ended the call and reached out to wipe something on the side of her lips. "You should wear a matte lipstick next time." He casually said.
"…" Really? That's the only thing that he would tell her?
"Your father wanted to make sure that his reputation is clean. He already contacted all the top media reporters to attend a press conference tomorrow."
Almost immediately, her dazed expression changed into a cold one. "And?"
"Well… I thought you would want to do something about it. I can help you. Just tell me what to do."
Bella frowned. Clearly, Mo Li was very capable of doing something about it. And yet, he chose to ask her what he would like him to do. "Why?"
"What do you mean why?"
"I mean… why asked me?"
"Because he was your father? Moreover, if I do what I want without your consent, it wouldn't be satisfying for you."
Bella didn't know if she should laugh at his words or just calmly nod and pretend that this didn't touch her. He was actually right. If he does something about it, she would just keep quiet and wouldn't feel any satisfaction from it. However, after hearing him ask her what she wanted to do, Bella felt like laughing so hard.
"You seemed to know a lot of things about me." She wasn't sure if this was because he was too observant in the past or… he had been stalking her in the past few months.
Mo Li only chuckled. "So?"
Bella looked at him for a few seconds before she started to speak. "I want to release bits and pieces of what happened in the past. I can send you some of the proof of the cheating. Let's inform the internet that the Mayor kicked me out of the family because I wanted to divorce a cheating husband." They were only stating a fact. The only difference is they won't say it directly. Instead, they would make the public solve the puzzle on their own.
It was like a maze— a big maze of scheme.
"Then we release the fact that I had been bullied… by Amy Sy. I want to leak the video and make it look like it was the Mayor who wanted Amy to bully me. Make everyone think that he was letting them do that because he doesn't care about me. After all, he already removed me from the Qin Family." Bella smiled, she couldn't help it. She was enjoying this too much.
There is just something about scheming that made her… feel so free. It made her feel like she found something she lost for a very long time. Of course, she knew that this was partly because of Lily's intelligence and Bella's background in politics.
"Finally, I want to make it look like I was forced to change my surname. I wanted to leak the fact that I am no longer in the Qin Family's ancestral book. I am no longer a Qin, and the reason why I changed it was because they won't allow me to come back to this city as a Qin."
"Hmm." Mo Li nodded. "Then…. This storm will start. Tonight." Wouldn't it be nice to surprise the mayor once he woke up tomorrow?
Seeing Mo Li call his secretary, Bella looked outside of the car. The street of Lu City had always been lively and bright. She continued smiling as she thought of the benefits of her scheme to Mo Li's career. She was already planning to use this as her advantage to make everyone think that Mo Li is someone who doesn't care about marital status.
He married a divorced woman because he truly loved her and not because he wanted to have a strong ally in the upcoming election. She wanted to paint Mo Li as someone warm who would always value people and emotions more than he would value power. He is the exact opposite of the current Mayor Qin.
