64 Calin's madness
"Shut up! why are you picking a fight you can't win?!" Calin shouted, her chest heaved up and down.
"Hmm..." Yeri lightly patted her swollen cheek as she check on her reflection in the mirror.
"A fight I can't win? Miss Nation's goddess, If what I had said is nonsense then you wouldn't have asked Tiffany to stay outside, is there something she's not supposed to hear?"
It was easy for Yeri to read the woman in front of her and inciting her is as easy as stealing candy from a kid, she must have lived her entire life full of rainbows and butterflies that all she can do is spout threats.
If Yeri is to compare Calin to Venice, the latter is at least worth a little of her time.
"If you have nothing to say let's not waste our time here and like it or not you're boring, I suggest you just hire someone to deal with me next time."
"Bitch! How dare you look down on me! Did you think I'm not capable of killing you!"
Calin Ricci was so mad that she lost all her reasons and pounce on Yeri like a starving tiger with no heed of her reputation.
"My, my~ is this the true colour of the Nation's goddess? How vicious and scandalous!" Yeri was quick to defend and caught her hands. "You probably never met someone who won't tremble in fear upon hearing your threats."
"You arrogant and nameless bitch! There had never been any woman involved with Shin Keir for years! I don't believe that he likes you!"
Calin's eyes were filled with malice refusing to admit the insecurity and uneasiness brooding within her.
After all, with money, anyone can be beautiful!
Yeri decided to use her hypnotism not expecting Calin to resort to a catfight.
Although she's interested in knowing Shin Keir and Calin's relationship it's not her main priority plus her hands are hurting from Calin's nails digging through her skin.
"As expected, you don't know anything...pathetic," Yeri muttered after asking Calin some questions.
Somehow she already had a feeling that Calin is completely ignorant of Ricci's involvement with her brother's case.
Yeri initially thought of altering Calin's memory but leaving things as is after being slapped doesn't sit well on her.
Might as well use her title as 'Shin Keir's woman' to aggravate Calin Ricci and use this conflict for Sergei Ricci to seek her out.
"Miss Nation's goddess I'll look forward to meeting that arrogant brother of yours once again so do your best in acting and ask for his help, alright?"
Calin remained still with a blank look on her face then Yeri gave her another nasty slap before leaving the restroom.
Earlier, Tiffany Rhian wore a bitter face as she paced back and forth not understanding why she had to stay outside.
A slap is not enough to return the humiliation and terror she had suffered from that bitch, Yeri Zhi!
No, she intends to take her revenge a hundred folds!
However, at that moment, Nina Geun unexpectedly came by.
Tiffany is well aware nothing good comes with arguing from someone of the same family hierarchy but unfortunately, with Nina's personality, it was impossible to act indifferent.
"Ahhh! Nina Geun what did I even do to you?! Stay away from me, you crazy gangster!" Tiffany screamed as she tried to walk away from Nina.
"I simply asked what you're doing here yet why did you run away? aren't you very very suspicious?" Nina stated with a menacing expression and raised her fist. "Start talking or I'll shove this in your mouth!"
Meanwhile, Yeri just exited the restroom and saw them quarrelling not far away, she was about to call them out when she noticed someone familiar coming from the opposite side of the hallway.
Secretary Yun approached her with hurried steps looking somehow distraught.
"Hello, Miss Zhi! congratulations on the successful game stream with your team." Secretary Yun sounded hesitant. "I know this may sound sudden but the Boss wanted to see you."
"Huh? What is he doing here?!" Yeri frowned feeling a mixture of annoyance and surprise.
What is that shameless burglar up to? are CEOs nowadays supposed to have a lot of free time?!
"I apologise if I can't go into details but I will tell you on our way."
Yeri wanted to decline worried that someone might see them together but Calin Ricci suddenly crossed her mind.
Isn't this a perfect opportunity to create trouble?
How will Shin Keir appease her if she pretends to be mad or jealous? getting another piece of jewellery or a check isn't a bad price!
"Alright, I have something to confirm with him as well!" Yeri appeared angry but her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
'Will it really be alright? This crazy idea of involving the young lady came from Young Master Felan but if by any chance it won't work and she gets hurt then I'm good as dead!'
Secretary Yun was oblivious of Yeri's expression, distracted by his own worries.

An hour ago-
"Find Yeri and take her here." Shin Keir told Secretary Yun as they went back to the VIP room they stayed in earlier.
What should he gift her for this event? Since she like the game maybe a company share of black lithium will do?
"You're not angry with bunny, right?" Tristan asked with a smug face.
"It's just a game, no need to make a big deal out of it."
"Says someone who hacked the server and repeatedly floored the players..." Tristan arched an eyebrow surely it won't end just like that.
He's already feeling sorry towards bunny's game husbands especially Saeki Jie.
Shin Keir displeasingly stared at Tristan but an image at the widescreen monitor caught his eyes, taking him by surprise.
"What is that?"
Tristan followed Shin Keir's gaze and his expression turned nostalgic.
"What a coincidence that bunny got your treasured avatar as her character update, don't you remember? When we just started this company, you held so much importance with that imperatrix succubus avatar that I was convinced you would someday marry it instead of a human being..."
Shin Keir tried to listen but strangely Tristan's voice gradually grew distant and shortly his head felt heavy and extremely painful.
Familiar yet unknown voices echoed and gnawing his consciousness, unexpectedly, his heart felt steady...
• "Your Majesty is indeed peculiar, shall I infer that you stabbing me is your way of showing affection?"
"I am simply overjoyed since I found you, my love...a mere stab in exchange for my despair won't kill you." •
On the other hand, Secretary Yun was just about to leave the room when he notice that Shin Keir is clutching his head, seemingly disturbed.
"Boss are you okay?" Secretary Yun got close but he felt shrouded with an ominous aura.
However, Tristan could sense no malice coming from Shin Keir.
In fact, he's been trying to provoke Shin Keir earlier to get him to this state for a reason but right now, it's different from those times whenever he goes out of control from anger.
"Hmm...doesn't matter," Tristan mumbled and nonchalantly smiled at Secretary Yun. "Go find bunny!"
Secretary Yun's eyes widened from horror, is he joking?!
"Hmm..." Yeri lightly patted her swollen cheek as she check on her reflection in the mirror.
"A fight I can't win? Miss Nation's goddess, If what I had said is nonsense then you wouldn't have asked Tiffany to stay outside, is there something she's not supposed to hear?"
