Chapter 262 - Manipulating
Bella stared at Daniel's back as the latter left the cafe. Then she fell into deep contemplation. It seems that from now on, Daniel would start to target her simply because she existed. A sigh escaped her lips. Now that Daniel openly threatened her all she could do is protect herself and fight back.
However, she really needed to find a way to clear up the misunderstandings between the male lead and the female lead. Bella stroked her chin as she thought of a way to make the male lead meet the female lead. In the end, she shook her head and let out a burst of low laughter. She never once expected that she would become a cupid one day.
Bella shrugged before she decided to leave this cafe and talk to Mo Li about her plans. Right now, her confidence in her assumptions is stronger, therefore, she could now analyze everything and use the weird way that her brain works to predict her enemy's movements. Just like now, Bella already knew that Daniel might see someone from the Mo Family soon. After all, the man already told her that he would ruin Mo Li's career.
However, this is not enough to make Bella worry. First and foremost, Mo Li doesn't want this. He doesn't want to involve himself in politics. However, he had to agree to his father's request so he could marry Bella. Meaning, if Daniel would ruin his name, that would only help them lose this election.
Now that Bella thought about it, she found it funny that Daniel thought this would scare them. She couldn't help but wonder if Mo Li won this election from the time frame that Daniel came from.
In fact, Bella's previous analysis was actually right. After Daniel left the cafe, he immediately went to have some tea with none other than… Liu Cheng'er. The current VP of Mo Li's company and the woman who considered herself Bella's rival. When he arrived, Daniel didn't hesitate to tell the woman what he wanted to do with Mo Li and his company.
"Once he realized that Bella Qin is useless. He would surely go to you and ask for your help."
"So, you wanted me to sabotage the company? Mr. Rogers, we have high-end clients that— " Liu Cheng'er pursed her lips and didn't finish her words. She looked at Daniel Rogers confident smile as she thought about the effects of sabotaging Mo Li's financial company. It would be devastating. Clearly, this move would create a scandal, ruining Mo Li's name. If that happens, Mo Li might ask for the help of his family.
"If you think that he would ask for the help of his family then I suggest that you think again. Mr. Mo is clearly a very prideful man. He and his father have different values. I really don't think that he would ask for the Mo Family's help first. I am very confident that he would ask for your help. If he won't then you can, of course, offer your help and show him your real value. Again, he needed to realize that his wife is pretty useless if you wanted him to see you as a woman." Daniel was not unfamiliar with Mo Li. While the man stayed lowkey in his previous life, he knew that he was smart and very cunning. In the future, Mo Li would soon become a very well known businessman that would receive countless awards for his conglomerate.
Daniel thought about what happened in his previous life. He couldn't remember anything that would involve Mo Li. The man had no political ambitions and didn't involve himself with the Mo Family. He never actually remembered anything memorable about this man. In the past life, the people who helped ruined him were just Gabriel and Bella.
This was the reason why he tried to make Amy Sy poison Bella while she was still on the island to avoid her seeing Sarah. However, that plan didn't work as Bella Qin survived and even married Mo Li. This is something that never happened in his past life. Bella never had the support of Mo Li in that lifetime. Daniel immediately concluded that the changes were because of his reincarnation. His arrival in this world caused a lot of changes in the original plotline.
Daniel tried his best to instigate chaos by convincing Bella's ex-husband that Bella still loved him and was only making him jealous by marrying Mo Li. However, this didn't work too. Moreover, despite Daniel's efforts for Sarah and Bella not to meet, the two still met and were able to talk privately. This prompted him to use his ultimate trump card— his knowledge about the future.
Daniel was someone who knows everything about the future. This knowledge is not limited to the Qin Family and Sarah. He was a businessman after all, and he was pretty familiar with some economic problems that would happen in the next few weeks. He could use this problem and create some difficulties in Mo Li's company. This would make it seem like the company's problem is just because of the economy when he was already using an underhanded method to sabotage the multi million dollar company.
Bella could only blame herself for Mo Li's destruction. After all, she refused to stop listening to his warnings.
"But— " Liu Cheng'er couldn't help but frown. In fact, the reason why she became the Vice President of the company was because of Mo Li's father and maternal grandfather. They wanted to create an opportunity for her and Mo Li to work together and hopefully fell for each other. However, this doesn't mean that Mo Li actually gave her any power inside the company.
Liu Cheng'er was a medical doctor and she was very good with her job. But, Mo Li didn't actually give her any serious responsibilities. In fact, she doesn't even attend any board meetings and other important meetings about the company. Of course, she had to try to convince Mo Li to at least, let her sit inside the board room with the other executives but Mo Li was quick to remind her that her qualifications do not allow her to. She was just someone who got inside because of her connections, she wasn't someone who worked hard and followed all the right procedure to be promoted.
This, of course, hurt Liu Cheng'er a lot. But what can she do? Mo Li was actually right. The reason why she was here was that… Mo Li's father threatened him. While Liu Cheng'er knew that Mo Li doesn't like her, she still persevered. Liu Cheng'er was always someone who believes that relationship and marriage needed hard work and she thought that by not giving up and showing she was actually someone with principle, Mo Li would soon get used to her presence.
But… Liu Cheng'er bit her lower lip when she recalled knowing that Mo Li is already married. The man didn't even tell her that he would marry someone else! Her expression worse when she thought of that scheming Bella's obnoxious smile. She truly hated that woman!
"Mr. Rogers… I — I think I don't understand why you are targeting Bella through Mo Li? I mean, I saw how much Mo Li worked for his company and witnessed him spent countless sleepless nights in his office. I honestly don't want to do something that would possibly cause trouble for him." She was simply not that desperate! She loved Mo Li and she would give up anything for that guy. She simply couldn't do something that would make him suffer. In fact, seeing him suffer would hurt her too!
Daniel snorted. As expected of a woman in love. They would always listen to their emotion first and ignore the profits that would come after all this chaos. "Well, let me be honest with you Dr. Liu. I think Bella is only using Mo Li for her own benefits."
"You— "
"Let's be honest here, Dr. Liu. We both know that a woman like her is not someone pleasant in the eyes of the Lu City. Without Mo Li, she would be useless, without any family or anyone by her side. I think she is the one making Mo Li want to run for office so she could use him for her revenge against her family who abandoned her."
"Mr. Rogers this…."
"This is really simple. If one would think about it, Mo Li never had the interest to run for office. I am sure that you were aware of that. However, he suddenly decided to agree to his father's term just so he could marry Bella." Daniel took a sip of his tea and met Liu Cheng'er's complicated eyes. "I think, Mr. Mo might have really liked Bella, but the latter gave him a condition. The only way she would agree to marry him is if he would run for a mayor against the Qin Family."
"You mean..."
"Yes, Dr. Liu. I think Bella is manipulating Mo Li. So, I need your help to save him from that woman."
