Living With A Narcissistic Brother In-law

Alice turned with a smirk, ''of course. Niania is such a capable person, she only needs to say the word and I will come running to her. That is the beauty of friendship which sadly you won't ever have''

''Friendship?'' Lin Yan chuckled and clapped her hands. ''She just dragged your name on the mud and you still think of her as a friend? I didn't think our Alice was such a naïve little girl''

''Why do you refer to me as 'our' Alice? Why am I yours?'' Alice asked and some of the policemen chuckled at her sarcasm.

Lin Yan chuckled as she looked at her. Alice pointed at Lin Yan and her assistant and said to the detective.

''Yes. Officer Ken, since the accuser and the witness are here, I would like to show you something. It will help clear my assistant's name. That is if you will allow me?''

''Yes, sure'' the detective agreed and Alice took out her phone.

''What tricks are you trying to play, Alice? What more do you need?'' Lin Yan asked aggressively.

''Officer, I saw with my own eyes. She stole the jewelleries. Is still in her possession?'' Lin Yan's assistant spoke and Niania retorted back.

''That is not true''

''I am a fair a just man. let me see the evidence you have'' Detective Ken became suspicious as she analysed the situation.

''Here, it is a copy of the CCTV of Lin Yan's dressing room in Empire Agency'' Alice said and handed over the phone to the detective.

''How did you get that?'' Lin Yan asked as she tried to snatch the phone but the detective took it fast away from Alice.

''I have my sources. I told you, Lin Yan. Never underestimate me. Officer, here you go''

Detective Ken plugged it unto his computer and pulled the video out before handing it back to Alice. He played it and the other officers came around to watch.

In the video, Charlotte could be seen stuffing Lin Yan's jewelleries into her bag while looking at the door suspiciously. She sneaked out and Niania entered the room after a few minutes. Niania could also be seen putting a dress on the sofa and going out afterwards. Everyone turned and looked at Charlotte and she stuttered.

''This is not right. I've been framed. You have to believe me, sister Lin Yan''

Lin Yan angrily slapped Charlotte. 'Shut up. I hate thieves the most in my life. How dare you steal from me and still deny it? Officer, you can do whatever you want with her. She is no longer my assistant''

''You should apologise to Niania and also compensate her for the emotional trauma she went through'' Alice stopped Lin Yan as the latter turned to leave.

''What?''

''I mean, my assistant had to endure such injustice, is only normal that she is compensated for the damages. Her image was ruined after all. Don't you all agree, honourable police officers?'' Alice smirked as she cocked her brows at Lin Yan.

''Don't think you've won yet, Alice. My lawyer will contact you to discuss the compensation'' Lin Yan said and walked out of the station.

''Officer, can we go now? I mean my assistant and I?'' Alice asked and the detective ordered for Niania to be released.

''Sure, my apologies to you and your assistant''

''No worries'' Alice said and turned to the office who was looking at her. ''Can I help you?''

''Miss Alice, I am a fan. Can I have your autograph?'' the officer from before who called her cute asked.

''I don't mind taking a picture with everyone'' Alice said and the police officers rushed forward. Alice was patient with them and took a group picture with them before taking a single picture with each one of them. her actions won the hearts of the police officers and soon as she left, they posted it on SNS and all social media. Later on, her name and actions became a trending issue on all social media networks.

Niania stared at the pig feet dish in front of her and asked, ''Alice, why did you buy me pig foot dish?'' they were at an expensive restaurant in town.

''I should have brought tofu for you to eat but, I was in a rush. Eat this pig foot dish to ward away bad luck. You just got out of prison''

''I'm sorry for troubling you''

''Aye, if you don't trouble me, who will dare do that to? Tell me, what were you doing in Lin Yan's dressing room? I thought you were still at the countryside with your parents? When did you come back?'' Alice sipped her cup of coffee as she asked.

''I came last night after getting a call from the CEO. He asked me to go over to the company for a contract for you to sign. But, when I got there, Lin Yan asked me to send her dress to her room and you know the rest''

''So, after stealing my contracts and giving them to Lin Yan, he even made you forfeit your holiday just because of that stupid contract?'' Alice shook her head.

Niania drunk the soup before asking, ''are you going to sign that contract?''

''Hmm. I would be a fool to do that. Mikael already asked me to join his agency and I agreed. Why would I want to work with Luis after what he did to me? if I sign that contract, he will steal all my future works and give them to Lin Yan''

''What about me? what if he refused to let me go with you? I mean, my working contract is with the company and not you''

''Why? Are you afraid I will let you go? Don't worry, I will never leave you behind. You're so gullible, I'm afraid you will only get bullied without me. Eat the soup. We are going to the company afterwards''

'Okay'

TODAY'S STORYLINE COMPANY.

''Alright, take care of yourself. I will pass by after work today'' Xia ended her call with Natalie and walked out of the building to her car and Mimi suddenly appeared by her and blocked her

''That was scary. Mimi, to what do I owe this unusual visit?'' Xia looked at Mimi.

''Where is Natalie? Where is she hiding? I've searched everywhere but she is hiding somewhere. I know you know where she is. Tell me!'' since the day they met at Janice, she hadn't seen her again and now Eunice, her godmother was in trouble because of Natalie.

''And you also do know that I won't tell you, right? Mimi, what do you want to do this time? You and your mother are not satisfied with how far you have ruined Natalie's life?

''This is my family problem. Stay out of it'' Mimi said.

''Family. I didn't know that existed. Tell me, are you really a part of the family or did you sneak into it?'' Xia asked and laughed.

''You wrote that story about the reporter and me. Aren't you afraid I will make things difficult for you in this industry?''

''Tell that to someone your threats actually work on. Mimi, you disgust me. Your ability to act innocent and pretend is so convincing but do you really think you can do it for long? What would Solace do when she finally finds out that you are a snake? Whoa, I would give up my inheritance to actually see that day and her reactions''

''Hey, shut up'' Mimi screamed.

''Yes. Don't forget I am a reporter. I can scoop so much dirt out of you and your family. I am keeping calm because I don't want to cause Natalie any worries. You had better stayed away from me. I am not so patient; you see?'' Xia pushed her away and entered into her car and drove away.

Mimi stamped her feet on the ground angrily and murmured, ''that bitch!!! I will kill her one day''

Empire Entertainment.

Meeting Room.

Alice looked at the contract in front of her and turned to Luis and Lin Yan. ''You want me to sign this contract and extend my stay here? Why?''

''Alice, I was too harsh on you before. Actually, I was in a bad mood then, but, I'm sorry for what I said'' Luis said as he flashed a fake smile even though he was boiling deep within him. He had found out about the loopholes in the contract the night before today. He realised Mikael Sun had deceived them and made them to sign a contract that was only valid if Alice were to move agencies.

''Is okay. You're allowed to have a bad day, but, you shouldn't have taken it out on me since I wasn't the one who made you have a bad mood''

Lin Yan pointed at the documents and said. ''Stop beating around the bush and sign the damn papers'' she wasn't actually concerned about the loopholes in the contract. She just wanted an opportunity to stand next to Mikael Sun. Luis was just a means to an end for her so whatever loses he inquired did not really matter to her. but to make Luis believe she was on his side, she had to pretend to be angry with him. She knew there was no way Alice was going to sign a contract that was disadvantageous to her.
