"I want her reputation ruined to the extent that the Tang family has to get rid of her. Understand?"

A woman in a wine-red robe was talking on the phone, exhaling smoke with her fluttering full red lips. Her curvy figure was silhouetted by the dark light and the white smoke.

She was the one who chatted excitedly with Lionel in the office during the day. In G City, their relationship was known to all. Everyone knew she was Lionel's girlfriend, Ivy.

Ivy hung up the phone, and the cigarette was still burning between her tapering fingers. She stared into the distance fixedly, and her full red lips curled in an evil grin.

The man walking out of the bathroom only wore a towel covering the lower part of his body. Lionel shook the drops of water that clung to his hair. The air was thick with cigarette smoke which made him frown.

Ivy gave a snort and avoided Lionel's kiss.
