Derek was standing beside Jade, looking fierce and handsome, warding off all stares that were directed at his wife especially from the opposite sex. He was glaring at the middle age, pot bellied, short and stubby, totally an annoying guy. He introduced himself as Mr Qi Kai Zhen, an owner of a small boutique hotel, he first congratulated Jade and Chris on the success of the event, he then brought over some champagne to toast for future success and hopefully further collaboration. Jade declined the drink but the annoying guy kept insisting, Derek could not hold back and took the drink and gulp it down on behalf of Jade to get the annoying guy away. He did not know that Madam Lu had seduced this guy for this exact purpose. She even serviced him a few times and promised him future sex pleasures to get his cooperation.
After 10 mins, Derek felt dizzy and flushed and appeared restless. Jade who was nearby, was puzzled by the sudden change in Derek. "Are you alright? Did you get tipsy just from that drink earlier?" Jade asked.
"En, I feel weird, I can hold my alcohol usually but I'm not sure why my body is reacting this way. Maybe I have been lacking sleep?" Derek answered.
Before Jade could reply or do something, she was called to attend an altercation between a guest and a waitress. "I'll go up to the suite first to rest, you settle things here and I'll meet you later." Derek said because he felt he could no longer stand up straight but he still willed himself to uphold his posture and acted as if everything was fine.
Jade nodded and quickly made way to the center of the ballroom where a crowd was already forming between the two involved.
"I demand an apology! Your staff here is incompetent and had purposely ruin my dress! Who is going to pay for this thousands of dollar dress? This is a limited edition....." grumbled a young socialite.
April and Chris recognized the lady immediately because this is no other than Rachel Tee, their distant cousin from the maternal side. April's heart suddenly felt heavy, she could feel something bad is about to happen. Could mother arranged all of these? What was her purpose?
Jade was relieved to see that Chris was taking charge of the situation, before she could go nearer to him and help with the situation, April tugged at her hand, Jade was surprised by the sharp and decisive tug. It even had an urgency to it, Jade could not help but looked at April curiously.
"Something is not right, that lady there is related to Mother, I have a feeling she is purposely creating trouble but I am not sure for what. Has anything out of the ordinary happened other than this?" April spoke in a low voice.
Jade frowned at the question and she suddenly remember that Derek had been behaving unusual because of the champagne. Damn, suddenly her heart felt heavy and chaotic. Blood drained from her face and caused her to be pale. April sensing the changes in Jade's mood, quickly pat Jade on the shoulder to bring her attention back to her.
"Something happened?" April asked again.
"Your brother in law did not feel well after he drank a glass of champagne, he went up to the suite to rest. I'll let you two handle the situation here then. If your instincts is right, this is to distract me from being with Derek and Derek is the target. Thanks for the heads up" Jade explained and quickly walk away, she need to get to Derek. She doesn't care what the plot is, bottom line is he is not to be hurt. If he is, then Madam Lu better be well prepared for the wrath. She being nice doesn't equal to her not knowing when to strike back if beaten.
Madam Lu smirked when she saw the commotion and noticed Jade hurrying away from the scene. Hahaha. You are going to witness a scene that would break your heart and you're going to be the joke of the town. Tomorrow news is going to be about, "Derek Lee cheated with secretary after being married for only 2 months, Jade Lu must be lousy in bed that she can't keep her husband satisfied." Madam Lu smiled even wider with the thoughts. It is all worth it, her efforts, even sleeping with the disgusting man that looks like a pig was worth it. She shuddered at the memories of her servicing Mr Qi.
Madam Lu is unsure how she could hate the child that came out of her womb so much. She tried to strangle that child to death since she was an infant but every time she got her fingers around the soft and fragile neck, those damn eyes will be wide open as if challenging her to do it. That eyes would stare at her so intently like she knew her own mother was. about to murder her. Because of those damn eyes that she could not carry out the deed. I should have steeled my heart that time, so that I don't have to deal with her today.
Jade was fretting in the elevator on the way up to her suite. Her left eye kept twitching multiple times, it was so irritating that she felt like she wanted to dig her left eye out. She calm her nerves down and kept chanting he is going to be fine, Derek is going to be alright, nothing is going to happen. The journey up to her suite felt like ages, it was on the 88th floor. Jade was doing breathing exercises as she focused on the number displaying the floors she had passed.
She was in disbelief when she arrived the 88th floor because it was supposed to be quiet floor with no access to outsiders but somehow it was filled with reporters. The door to her suite was open and she could hear some ongoing lewd acts with loud moaning voices. She felt nauseous and wanted to puke. Oh no, please do not let it be Derek. Dear god, I pray that the man inside is not Derek. The reporters were having the time of their lives, clicking away the shutters of their camera.
