The CEO's Wife Is A Demon God's Daughter

Chapter 559 Too Much Kindness Is Dangerous

~ University of Imperial Knight ~

Bianca was currently sitting on the bench while waiting for Zhen-Zhen's class to finish. She was not looking good as she read the paper in her hands.

Two days after her last encounter with Clifford Sy, Bianca received a notice of complaints about physical assault and harassment.

Clifford, with the help of his attorney, filed a Complaint-affidavit in the City Prosecutor's office for physical assault and harassment against Bianca.

They presented a video and a medical report as evidence that Bianca had beaten Clifford without any valid reason.

Bianca was being problematic as she read the subpoena requiring her to submit a counter-affidavit. She didn't imagine that Clifford Sy would do this.

"Argh! What statement should I give them? I was just trying to stop him from meeting my big boss' wife since that was my job. He didn't listen so I had to stop him by force."

Bianca lazily rested her elbows on the top of the table and cupped her chin in her palms.

"Grrr, this Clifford Sy is one annoying Bee!" Bianca lamented to herself, imagining lots of ways how to torture and kill him in her mind.

Bianca was too shy to inform Tristan about this. He just gave her a bonus salary yesterday because of what she had done to Clifford.

She didn't want to bother her boss for this trivial thing, or rather for her personal problem.

Bianca was still thinking about where to get her own attorney when Zhen-Zhen approached her. She just finished her morning class today. She was now free.

From a distance, Zhen-Zhen could see the troubled expression of Bianca. Her mind was occupied by something that she didn't even notice that Zhen-Zhen was already standing beside her.

Zhen-Zhen saw the notice of complaints at the table. She picked it up and read it. Now, she understood why Bianca looked very problematic.

Clifford Sy filed a complaint against her lady bodyguard. Zhen-Zhen sat down beside Bianca, feeling sorry for her.

She felt like it was partly her fault that Bianca was experiencing this kind of problem. She learned that Tristan gave Bianca an order not to let Clifford Sy get near her.

She saw the viral video when Bianca restrained Clifford easily. He became a laughingstock because he got beaten up by a woman. Clifford was not able to do something against a lady bodyguard.

"Hey, don't be sad. I think I can help you talk to Clifford so that he will no longer pursue the incident."

Bianca snapped back when she heard Zhen-Zhen's voice.

"Miss Lillie…" She called her out while putting on a pitiful face.

Zhen-Zhen just gave her a reassuring smile.

"But I can't let you do that. Boss Tristan will get jealous once you come to Clifford Sy just for my sake," Bianca said, opposing Zhen-Zhen's suggestion.

"But I want to help you. I know Clifford will forgive you. We will just apologize to him. Tristan and Clifford, sigh, I hope the two of them will reconcile already."

Bianca looked at Zhen-Zhen helplessly. "Lillie, why are you treating Clifford as a friend? Are you not worried that your husband will get jealous because of that? Furthermore, since Clifford Sy and your husband have history, don't you think Clifford has an ulterior motive of getting close to you?"

Zhen-Zhen fell silent for a moment. She considered that possibility before but she wanted to give Clifford a benefit of the doubt.

"Hmm, I think Clifford is a good guy. He is just blinded by his hatred that he refuses to forgive Tristan. Besides, I felt sorry for him. He got broken because of his fiancee's betrayal. It became a scar. I hope to heal that scar in his heart."

Bianca scratched her face. "Hehe, if Boss Tristan is here, I bet he will certainly get jealous since you care about another guy." Bianca teased her.

Zhen-Zhen just giggled when she heard that.

"Tristan has no reason to be jealous because he is the only man I love. Clifford is just a friend. My heart is only beating for Tristan."

"Besides, you will be there with me as I talk to Clifford," Zhen-Zhen added.

Bianca watched Zhen-Zhen in amusement.

"Why are you so good to others? Do you know that too much kindness can get you in trouble? What if others will take advantage of you?"

Bianca noticed the unique attitude of Zhen-Zhen. Yes, it was good but sometimes it could also be a disadvantage for her.

Zhen-Zhen paused again after hearing the honest remarks of Bianca. She also heard that before from her inner demon.

'Is it really bad to be so kind to others?' Zhen-Zhen asked herself.

'Or maybe I am just doing this because I am carrying the sin of my father, knowing that he had killed countless lives… lots of innocent people in the past. I want to atone for that by being kind to others.'

'I want to give others a second chance since my father didn't get to have that second chance to show that he was already a changed man. My mother was killed in front of him. And he vanished after protecting me. I lost my family at a very young age.'

Zhen-Zhen glanced back at Bianca, who was still waiting for her response.

"Bianca… "

"Yes, Lillie?"

"As long as they will not touch my bottom line, I can still be considerate of others. But you are right, my kindness also has some limitations. Maybe you cannot see it for now, but I also have dark sides," Zhen-Zhen told her meaningfully.

Bianca was taken aback when she heard that. 'Dark sides? Is she kidding me? Haha, Lillie, I don't think you have dark sides. You are like an angel to me.'

"As much as possible, I don't want to use it against someone… "

'I will use it if ever it concerns the safety of my loved ones and my family.' Zhen-Zhen added to her thoughts.

"Alright, Lillie. Just remain the sweetest and kindest girl I know. But how I wish I can see your dark sides too. I am so curious what Lillie Davis can do once she gets mad and angry," Bianca said with her dreamy eyes.

Lillie let out a soft giggle once again.

"Come on. Let's visit the Sy Corp and talk to Clifford. I am already free today. I will inform Tristan about this."

Since Zhen-Zhen insisted, Bianca had no choice but to agree with her.

~ At Sy Corp ~

Clifford was in the middle of a very important meeting when Dexter informed him about Zhen-Zhen's sudden visit.

"Boss, I received a call from the staff at the front desk that Lillie Davis is here to see you. She is currently in the lobby. What should I tell the staff? She has no appointment with you today." Dexter told Clifford in a low voice since there was an ongoing presentation.

Clifford was surprised when he learned that Lillie came to visit him. His face brightened up almost instantly when Dexter mentioned her name.

"Tell the staff to guide her in my office, asap," Clifford commanded his assistant.

After saying that, he stood up right away, catching the attention of other people inside the meeting room.

The presenter also stopped when he saw their CEO standing up. Everyone looked at him in confusion.

"Go ahead, just continue the meeting. I have to go. There is something more important that I have to do."

Everyone: "..."

They were stupefied when they heard Clifford's last remarks. Everyone gave him a questioning look.

What is more important than this multi-billion deal?

However, Clifford had no plan to explain further to them as he walked out of the conference room in a hurry.

They couldn't believe that Clifford left them just like that. The Vice CEO and the Chief Operation Officer apologized to their investors and decided to resume the meeting without their CEO.

They reassured them that they would relay everything to Clifford after the meeting.

Meanwhile, Zhen-Zhen and Bianca just arrived inside Clifford's office when Clifford and Dexter entered the room.

The smile on Clifford's face suddenly disappeared upon seeing the lady who was standing beside Zhen-Zhen.

'Damn! What is she doing here? I don't want to see her.'

As if Dexter had read his mind, he whispered to Clifford. "She's Lillie's bodyguard so it's natural that she will accompany Lillie wherever she goes."

Clifford just shot Dexter a cold sharp glare. Yeah, he already knew that. He was just annoyed seeing the woman again. He just remembered again the humiliation he got because of her.

Clifford tried his best to conceal his displeasure toward Zhen-Zhen's lady bodyguard. He just decided to focus his attention on Zhen-Zhen.

"Lillie, what brings you here? Ahem, you should have told me beforehand that you were coming so that I could prepare something for you. Come, sit down."

Clifford guided her to the vacant sofa. When Zhen-Zhen and Bianca settled down, Zhen-Zhen directly informed Clifford of the reason why they came today.

"Did I disturb you for coming here unannounced?" Zhen-Zhen asked him, feeling apologetic.

"No, I'm not busy," Clifford lied.

Bianca arched her eyebrows. The staff in the lobby informed them that Clifford was having a meeting.

'Liar!' Bianca thought to herself.

"Hmm, Cliff, the reason we came here is to apologize. Can you please forget about what happened and forgive Bianca for what she had done to you?"

Clifford frowned when he heard Zhen-Zhen. He glanced at Bianca with his cold sharp gaze.

"Lillie, why are you the one apologizing? She's the one who is at fault here. She should be the one apologizing to me."

"Oh, Mr. Sy! I will apologize but can you promise that you will not file a complaint against me anymore?" Bianca immediately spoke up, shamelessly asking Clifford to stop his complaint.

"I heard you are a good friend of my Lady Boss. Can you forgive me, Mr. Sy for my Lady Boss?" Bianca further added, using Zhen-Zhen as a backup.

Clifford: "..."

Dexter: "..."
