The Empress's Transmigration into a Magnate's Wife

Chapter 48

What's more, he didn't feel that Rong Dai had any capabilities worth his sister taking the risk of breaking the law to target her. However, as soon as he opened his mouth, he was met with Huo Shao Ting's extremely cold gaze.

Zhang, the assistant, immediately understood. He placed a recorder on the table which contained the "confession" of that top lawyer.

Wen Shi Lan's face froze as her heart started pounding rapidly. Looking at Huo Shao Ting's gloomy face, she hurried to explain, "Shao... Brother Huo, listen to my explanation. I must have been framed. This recording definitely isn't mine. I have no reason to hurt Rong Dai!"

How stupid is this lawyer?! He actually dared to say things like this outside! Isn't this deliberately trying to get her killed?!

Huo Shao Ting looked at her coldly and said in an indifferent voice, "No reason? Liking me counts, right?"

Wen Shi Lan was rendered speechless as her delicate cheeks flushed red.

"I... I do like you, but... but..."

"But what? Do I need to play the recording from that day too? Or are you going to say that day's recording was fake too?"

Meeting his icy cold eyes, Wen Shi Lan thought of that day's recording and felt a chill in her heart, along with some indignance.

"But how could that be connected to this matter? I do like you, but I have no reason to do something like this! Brother Huo, is this really how you see me?"

She immediately acted aggrieved again, squeezing her eyes as two lines of clear tears rolled down her cheeks.

Huo Shao Ting frowned in displeasure, "Send it for appraisal."

Zhang nodded and was about to reach for the recorder when Wen Shi Lan quickly grabbed it first. She then threw it to the ground as if extremely angry and stomped on it forcefully!

Zhang was dumbfounded. After she calmed down, he looked at Wen Shi Lan calmly and said, "Miss Wen, if your foot doesn't hurt, I have a whole box more."

As he spoke, he took out another identical recorder from his coat. The recording was completely the same!

Wen Shi Lan's body stiffened as her face turned green from anger!

At this time, Wen Runlin also realized that this matter was likely related to his sister after all. He was very clear on the extent of obsession his sister had for Huo Shao Ting.

He pulled Wen Shi Lan aside, "Shi Lan, tell me, did you really do this or not?"

"Brother! How can you not believe me either? She's just a worthless woman who can't compare to me in any way. Why would I break the law because of her? Have I lost my mind?!"

Wen Runlin looked into her eyes as she spoke sincerely. The doubts that had just arisen in his heart were stifled again.

"Of course I believe you. You know Brother Huo's temper. If you did it, hurry up and admit it. He won't get angry then. If he finds out himself after investigating, the consequences will be different."

Wen Shi Lan felt uneasy as her palms became clammy with sweat.

She only hoped that the cheap woman Zuo Ran could act quickly and get rid of that cheap woman Rong Dai.

That way, even if Brother Huo found out later that she was involved, he would be angry at her and she could find a way to coax him back.

As long as Rong Dai that cheap woman disappeared from Jingcheng forever!

She certainly wouldn't let go of such a good opportunity from that unexpected encounter that day!

Since Rong Dai liked that woman Zuo Ran so much, she shouldn't compete with her for Huo Shao Ting anymore. Weren't they going to fly off together?

Then she would fulfill their wish!

If Rong Dai hadn't gone looking for death herself, she wouldn't have gotten such a huge handle on her.

"Shao Ting, there's news online already. It's trending and made top headlines."

Lu Hong walked in from outside, holding up his phone for Huo Shao Ting to take a look.

The exposed content was shocking. Even the titles were sensational and startling!

"Huo Family CEO cheats"

"Huo Shao Ting's wife is a lesbian"

"Huo Shao Ting's wife's new drama"

These kinds of trending headlines dominated the entire Weibo!

At first, some thought it was just hype. But when anonymous posts leaked piles of condemning photographic evidence, the entire Weibo exploded! It even crashed at one point!

Because of Huo Shao Ting's immense influence in Jingcheng, his previous secret low-profile marriage had already aroused immense curiosity externally.

Now this news coming out was like a bolt from the blue!

Meanwhile, Rong Dai who had been kidnapped by Zuo Ran still didn't know that her biggest fear had become reality. She was forced by Zuo Ran to wear a wedding dress with her hands and feet tied to a chair.

Zuo Ran herself had changed into a suit and decorated the room beautifully with abundant flowers and their thick fragrance permeating the air, candles, and a cake.

Seeing it made Rong Dai's scalp tingle, but her rationality forced her to remain calm.

"Little Dai, don't worry. We will definitely be together forever. Huo Shao Ting doesn't have the ability to separate us."

Zuo Ran suddenly grinned at her and pushed Rong Dai's chair closer to the dining table.

Only then did Rong Dai see that the dining table was set with many things used for the deceased! She instantly felt her hair stand on end!

Did this madwoman plan to drag her down in a suicide pact?!

"What exactly are you trying to do?" She looked up at Zuo Ran, her voice trembling slightly.

Zuo Ran smiled and glanced at her as she took out her phone to start recording them.

"I said we would be together forever. Of course our souls have to be together forever too. Only if we die together and sign the contract can we truly be together eternally."

Seeing the sinister smile on Zuo Ran's face, Rong Dai felt like her head would explode!

Zuo Ran smiled gently as she sat opposite her and reached out to caress Rong Dai's cheek. The obsession in her eyes made Rong Dai's insides churn as she was forced to look at the phone recording them.

"Little Dai, it'll hurt just a bit. Don't be afraid. I'll be very gentle. I'll be coming down to accompany you soon too."

Zuo Ran spoke gently, as if coaxing a child.

Rong Dai's heart pounded rapidly. This madwoman clearly wanted to kill her!

She took a couple deep breaths silently to suppress the terror rising within her.

"I'm not afraid, but I'm very hungry now. I want to eat something first."

She had to buy time for herself and find a way to free her hands and feet.

"I'll feed you." Zuo Ran attended to her very gently. Rong Dai swallowed the disgust and ate mouthful by mouthful, frequently asking for water too.

"I'm done eating." Rong Dai had eaten quite a bit. Although disgusted, she needed to preserve her strength.

This woman was a madwoman. She was penniless and completely unfamiliar with this place.

Without absolute certainty, she couldn't act rashly.

"I want to take a bath. Do you want to join? If we're going to be together forever, there are some things I feel I should give you now or I'll regret it."

Rong Dai forced herself to say it, already feeling nauseated and wanting to slap herself.

To think that she, a empress, would be coerced to this extent! Just thinking about it made her feel aggrieved!

Zuo Ran's eyes lit up as she looked at Rong Dai in pleasant surprise, unable to resist reaching out to caress her cheek obsessively. "Are you really willing?"

Two red clouds appeared on Rong Dai's cheeks as she nodded earnestly.
