Chapter 196 An Exorbitant Price
Viola tugged at Jennifer and signaled her to stop talking. The less trouble the better.
Jennifer was too angry to listen to Viola. With a cold face, she put her arm around Viola's shoulder and said, "Do you know what kind of relationship she has with Maynard?"
A bad premonition arose in Viola's heart. When she was about to say something to stop them, another voice interrupted her. "What's the relationship?"
She looked towards the direction of the voice and saw it was Mr. Mei.
"She is the wife of the CEO of the Chu Group. Even if she wears cheap clothes in a hundred years, she is still the wife of the president!" Said Jennifer seriously.
The expression of people at present suddenly changed. They looked at Viola carefully.
Viola noticed that Mr. Mei was different from others. He seemed to consider her value.
Viola's heart sank.
"Mrs. Chu, I'd like to have a talk with you," Mr. Mei turned to her, looking shrewd but turbid.
"Of course you can."
She looked at the people in the ward and the meaning was self-evident.
"Everyone, please go out." A sharp light flashed across Mr. Mei's eyes.
The two policemen and Jennifer went out of the room with kindness. Under the impatient eyes of Mr. Mei, the stroppy Mrs. Mei and her brother left reluctantly.
After a while, the door was closed. There were only Viola and Mr. Mei left in the ward.
"Since you have such a relationship with Mr. Chu..." Mr. Mei paused and immediately said, "If you want to live a good life, tell your husband to give ten percent of the development project to our company."
It suddenly dawned on Viola, and she forced a smile to anger. She warned word by word, "The person who hurt you with a knife is Vivi, and it has nothing to do with me."
'Ten percent? That's an exorbitant price!'
"I know, but there is one thing I know. It's bad luck for you to appear in that hotel room." The fat on Mr. Mei's face shook with laughter. "Now I say it was you, so it was you."
He rubbed his hands together and hummed smugly.
He had wanted to join in that project and blackmail Maynard and get an amount of money from him. It seemed that Viola had a higher position in his heart, as long as he insisted that it was her
Viola frowned, feeling her heart was on fire. "I've never seen someone as shameless as you. You have shattered my cognition!"
Out of her mind, she strode forward, grabbed his hospital gown and shook it hard as if she was trying to shake out the absurd thoughts in his mind.
"Help!" Mr. Mei was so arrogant that he ignored her. He screamed at the door, "I'm going to be killed!"
When he was finished, the door was kicked open. A policeman ran in and pulled them apart.
After she realized what she had done, Viola had an unprecedented urge to beat herself to death.
"Police, in fact, she was the one who stabbed me with a knife. I thought it was better to solve the problem than to have a good chat with her, but she not only refused, but also strangled me!" Mr. Mei looked extremely frightened, as if she had done something cruel to him.
Viola felt she was overwhelmed again.
She was about to break free from the policeman who had stopped her. She couldn't put up with him anymore. She flared up. "I've never seen someone more brazen than you!" Mrs. Mei and her strapping brother glared at her, as if she had done something terrible.
"Sir, I strongly doubt that she had been poisoned by her husband Maynard," Mr. Mei patted his chest and continued, "Please call her husband here. I want to get an explanation for myself." A strong feeling of dizziness came over Viola and almost fainted. Luckily, she was held up by Jennifer in time so that she didn't fall down.
"Calm down. I have something urgent to deal with." When Jennifer saw the message she received from the phone, she got displeased at once. She patted Viola on the shoulder and left.
On hearing this, Viola calmed herself down. She was not as excited as before. "What kind of grudge do you have with you? Why are you trying to frame me like this?"
"Ouch!" "Sir, I don't feel well. Please tell me what to do. I trust you," Mr. Mei answered
Viola chuckled. The mockery in her words was evident.
"Miss Qi, you have to go to the police station with us." The two policemen looked at each other. Their intentions were self-evident.
Viola knew that she had to take the blame again. Perhaps it would be her life time.
"Hold on. Pay my husband's hospitalization fee, nursing fee and mental damage compensation before you leave." Mrs. Mei caught her arm and said confidently.
A slight smile appeared on Viola's face, but it was a little complicated. "I have no money."
So, when Mrs. Mei was angrily cursing, Viola was taken out of the hospital by the police.
At this moment, the big screen on all the high-rise buildings abruptly changed from all kinds of advertising advertisements to the video with the same voice-
"Since you have such a relationship with Mr. Chu..." The shot shifted to Mr. Mei. "If you want to live a dignified life, tell your husband to offer ten percent of the development project to our company."
Then, the camera shifted to the face of the woman with mosaics, and her voice was extremely angry, "The person who hurt you with a knife was Vivi, and it has nothing to do with me."
"I know, but there is one thing I know. It's bad luck for you to appear in that hotel room." The camera was turned again, and Mr. Mei laughed so happily that the fat on his face was shaking. "Now I say it was you, and it was you who made it."
People in hurry all stopped and looked at the video that was played in all directions.
Standing rooted to the spot, Viola was extremely clear on the TV that she was talking to Mr. Mei.
Viola thought she was dreaming, so she rubbed her eyes three times before she could barely believe that the surprise came so suddenly.
On the screen, the face of Mr. Mei was so hideous that people could clearly see it. It was not even covered with mosaic. Obviously, it was set at his rhythm.
On the contrary, she was pixelated. There was no preventing her from suspecting that someone she knew had helped her.
Viola smiled at the policeman. She pointed at the screen and asked, "Are you going to catch me or not?"
Before the two policemen opened their mouths, their cellphones rang at the same time. The content they received was: Someone sent them a large amount of evidence of illegal fund raising by Mr. Mei's company, asking them to go back for a full investigation.
After apologizing to Viola, they left in a police car.
A kind of luck arose in Viola's heart because of inexplicable good luck. She waved her hand and hailed a taxi, rushing back to the villa. When she saw Jennifer sitting on the sofa, she threw herself into her arms and gave her a big hug.
"What's wrong?" Jennifer was not comfortable in her embrace.
Viola let go of her soon, she looked at her with her watery eyes and said: "Thank you for helping me solve the problem of Mr. Mei. I didn't expect you to be so capable."
"Mr. Mei?" "What happened after I left?" Jennifer was surprised.
Viola was confused.
