39 The diamond bracelet and a pack of contraceptives pills
It was Sunday morning and Yeri woke up early for a jog, she had to condition her body for an exhausting shopping day with her mother.
After that, she joined her parents for breakfast and got ready to leave with her mother.
"Butler Dong is the car ready? Mom should be done changing soon." Yeri descended the stairs looking bright and bubbly.
Butler Dong was about to respond when Venice followed Yeri down the stairs and grabbed her in a corner with an agitated expression.
"You're still here?" Yeri harshly shook Venice's hand.
Venice bit her lower lip, seemingly perplexed, her gaze wander around as she anxiously open her mouth.
"This...someone found it in your room."
Yeri indifferently looked down at the open purse Venice is holding, inside is the diamond bracelet Shin gifted her and a pack of contraceptive pills.
"Someone? why do you have my bracelet? obviously, you'll find it in my room, where do you think it should be?"
Yeri calmly took the bracelet and put it on her wrist, there was no hint of surprise and hesitation from her.
She's certain that the bracelet was on her bedside table but a contraceptive pill pack?
After that night with Shin Keir, she recalled buying and taking a couple of contraceptive pills then somehow stashed the rest of the pack in her bag.
Is this the same pack? How did it end up in Venice?
"Yeri this isn't like you! what have you been up to lately? we both know you can't afford that bracelet! and why do you have these...pills."
Venice muttered in low voice, full of concern but it was enough for the servants cleaning the living area to hear bits and pieces of it.
"I don't know what you are talking about." Yeri remained unfazed.
She was about to go past Venice when the latter deliberately lose her balance and the content of the purse fell off.
"Ahh!" Venice immediately covered her mouth but her gaze fixated on the contraceptive pack.
The four servants present including Butler Dong and Nanny Pham naturally followed Venice's eyesight.
Anyone with experience could easily tell what it was, a conflicting and aghast expressions appeared on their faces.
The Young Lady of the house just recently turned 18 while Venice Zhi is just a year older.
It's not like they live in a conservative society however reputation in the upper class especially in women is a highly regarded weapon.
Even the tiniest blot in your reputation will follow you for the rest of your life.
"I'm sorry Yeri! I was just worried that Auntie or Uncle will find out so I thought of asking you now. I- I didn't mean to...also that diamond bracelet..." Venice cried out, looking frightened but didn't pick up the pack.
"But everyone here can be trusted! I'm sure no one will tell, right? right?!" Venice glances at each person, seemingly convincing them not to tell a soul.
"What is going on here?" Madam Zhi looked puzzled seeing their aghast faces.
"A misunderstanding! it's just a misunderstanding Madam..." Nanny Pham nervously answered and walk to pick up the contraceptive pack.
Venice's eyes curled up in satisfaction, she already confirmed that the bracelet wasn't given by Yeri's parents, even if it's from a friend, that kind of expensive bracelet wouldn't be given without a motive.
A maid who held displeasure against Yeri told Venice that she saw Yeri went inside her brother's room where Shin Keir was still changing and the Secretary is seemingly in cahoots with her.
Venice was seething in indignation, so she was right, that b*tch is also trying to seduce Shin Keir!
Moreover, that Secretary acted to be interested in her but turned out he's been paid! It would be impossible for a Secretary of the most powerful man in the business world to get easily bribed, unless...
Venice clicked her tongue internally, 'You are really good Yeri Zhi! using that slutty face of yours to good use but who asked you to be stupid and leave evidence behind?'
She had asked the same maid to find anything that they could use to incriminate Yeri but who would have thought they found beyond what they expected!
"Princess, what is going on?" Madam Zhi asked Yeri as the other dared not explain what's happening.
Yeri sighed, nonchalantly checking her nails. "Venice is accusing me of sleeping around saying she found a contraceptive pack in my room and a diamond bracelet, but Mommy this bracelet is a gift to me."
"What?! Venice, you really don't know when to stop! what lies are you spouting now?!" Madam Zhi exclaimed, her glare swung between the bracelet on Yeri's wrist and Venice.
However, a sense of dread rose inside her, she do not recognize that bracelet but as an elite, she can tell its value might be around eight hundred to a million dollars!
With the Zhi Corporation's situation, her husband won't spend that much money on a bracelet.
Venice sobbed and spoke in a docile tone. "Auntie, it's fine if you don't like me but we both know that diamond bracelet is at least worth a million dollars! I didn't mean to assume but a maid who cleaned Yeri's room found a contraceptive pack, she was so afraid and don't dare to tell you or Yeri."
The servants who were ignorant of the bracelet's value and were confused about the connection between the two things earlier now have an even more conflicting expression.
"And where is this thing you're talking about and who is this maid?!" Madam Zhi hollered.
"Nanny Pham pocketed it." Venice immediately answered and appeared humble to Yeri. "Yeri, we may not be close but that doesn't mean I don't care about you. I thought you might get in trouble someday and ruin the family reputation."
'B*tch! Today, I'll drag your reputation down the mud!' Venice felt smug inwardly, she doubt Shin Keir would fall into a beauty trap but she can't take any chances!
Yeri Zhi must be dealt with now!
"I-I am that m-maid..." A petite young woman suddenly walked out of the kitchen, pale and trembling.
She trusts that a cunning lady like Venice Zhi can pull this off and teach Yeri Zhi a lesson!
She always hated her arrogance and conceited attitude just because she's a little pretty and was born in a wealthy family.
Yeri smiled alluringly, the flame in her eyes is undeniable.
Alas, the stage is set and the rat has shown herself!
After that, she joined her parents for breakfast and got ready to leave with her mother.
"Butler Dong is the car ready? Mom should be done changing soon." Yeri descended the stairs looking bright and bubbly.
