The Villain's Wife

"Funny," Lily said as they arrived outside of the area where the private jet was located. It had taken Lily and Zhou Jingren another thirty minutes to arrive at this place after they decided to attack the palace. By now, the news of the explosion was already on TV and social media. With the power of social media, everyone got ahold of some fake news that Lily had intentionally spread to make the public start asking questions. 

Soon after TV networks immediately made reports that indicated it was a terrorist attack. They even confirmed that this had wounded the Grand Duke and not the rumored stabbing. This made a lot of people confused. What was going on? According to the previous news, the Duke was stabbed but they decided not to reveal the culprit yet. They needed the new Grand Duke to reveal the identity of this person who had stabbed the Duke.

But how could Leandro attend to such a thing when he was busy hunting Lily? In the end, Mikaela was forced to say that it was a confidential matter for now. Then the explosion happened. Suddenly, Mikaela changed her tone and immediately had a press conference saying it was a terrorist attack. The person who attacked the palace was also the one who wounded the Grand Duke and caused the explosion. Still, she said that they were not sure of the identity of the person.

This made Lily raise an eyebrow. The military of Luxembourg was already aware that it was Zhou Jingren, yet they refused to tell the public about it. For a few seconds, she frowned and watched as a helicopter just left the area. If her guess was right, then the occupant of that helicopter was Leandro. Why would he suddenly leave the area? Then a few other cars also started leaving. 

Of course, it was Leandro's people.

Slowly, a realization hit her. Eliza must have used the video that Qin Yuanfeng sent her. She immediately shook her head. Eliza was really looking for trouble. She must have argued with Mikaela and ended up showing her the video. Now that Mikaela knew about it, she immediately told Leandro to be careful as Lily and Zhou Jingren already knew the truth. However, this would also mean that from now on, they won't be able to contact Eliza as people would always watch her.

However, this would also mean that her marriage to Harringfort would happen soon as this would act as some sort of damage control to keep the peace between the two countries. "What a sly woman." Lily smiled. She knew that Eliza deliberately did it because she was going to live in Belgium after her marriage. Once she was already in Belgium, Mikaela and Leandro would find it difficult to touch her.

"They are escorting Eliza and Levi out of their palace." Qin Yuanfeng suddenly said. When he heard about the news, he immediately knew that it had something to do with their cousin. So, he accessed all the cameras in their palace and saw that they are about to leave with some military personnel.

"Are they planning to imprison her?"

Lily shook her head. "Is everything ready?" She asked.

"Yes." Zhou Jingren met her eyes before he smiled. "Let's go."

......….

Meanwhile, Leandro narrowed his eyes as he watched the black sedan that was parked just outside of the private landing place where Bei Tian was located. An evil smile immediately slithered on his face. Everyone thought that Leandro boarded the helicopter that left earlier. However, he was smart enough to leave the place by car. 

And when he saw the black sedan earlier. He immediately knew that it was Lily and Zhou Jingren. "They really dared to damage an old palace?" He muttered. How dare the two disrespect their country?

"Your highness…. Everything is prepared. We are just waiting for your order."

"Hmmm. The launcher is ready?"

His subordinate nodded in response. Seeing this, Leandro eyed the parked car as he wondered if they noticed his presence yet. Obviously, anyone would immediately assume that he flew back to Luxembourg to see his sister. However, he was here to finish Zhou Jingren off.

No matter what happened he would do what he needed to do to become the next Grand Duke. "Wait for a moment." He said as an idea came into his mind. He immediately dialed a number on his phone. Almost immediately Lily's voice echoed on the other line.

"Mrs. Zhou." He didn't hide the amusement in his voice.

"Would you like me to start calling you Grand Duke now?" As expected, Lily didn't beat around the bush.

"There is no need for formalities." Leandro smiled. "I just want to ask you… for your last words." He laughed.

"You have gone crazy," Lily answered almost immediately.

"Oh… no. Mrs Zhou… everything is according to our plan. You see? In the end… the educated and meticulous person like me won this time. You should really learn from that in the future." Mikaela must have told him about the video but this doesn't mean Leandro would back down against Zhou Jingren and Lily. Not when his maternal grandfather and his friend were clearly backing him.

With their power alone, he was sure that he could achieve anything as long as he listened to his grandfather's words. The smile on his face grew when he noticed that Lily didn't answer him. "Speechless? Anyway… your opinion does not matter. You are dead anyway." He said. "Goodbye… Mrs. Zhou." He smiled. Despite his grandfather's warning not to kill Lily, Leandro felt that he did not have a choice this time. Not killing Lily was akin to shooting himself on the foot. He could not simply allow her to survive after having the video that Eliza showed Mikaela. 

"Kill them." He said in a low voice and waited as the first grenade launcher fired towards Lily's car.

*BOOM!*

It was followed by another. 

Then another.

Soon after, Leandro's laughter followed the loud explosion that echoed that night.
