CHAPTER 260: SHE IS NOT SOMEONE TO BE MESSED WITH

"Why did you call me here?" Jenny looked at the table full of food as she spoke.

Right at that moment, the door to the private room opened as a masked person entered.

Delicate hands removed the black mask and Esther’s face finally came into Jenny’s view.

"I called you here to see how you have been enjoying yourself all this time," Esther smiled coldly.

Jenny frowned, "What do you mean by that?"

"Back then, trapping Ella in that scandal was both our plans. You wanted her out of the entertainment industry, and I wanted her to experience a good fall..."

"Similarly, this time, bringing that photographer to rape her... was both our plan too. I had no contact with that man. If not for you, I would not have been able to invite him over..."

Esther paused as she took a seat, "But now, I am down and out. Mo Jun left me, my family company is in shambles, I am being scorned everywhere by everyone, I lost my role to those bitches..."

Esther clenched the side of the table, "While you are sitting in front of me, completely untouched by the chaos."

"Untouched?" Jenny laughed softly, "I was suspended for a month from the university. It has been some time since my suspension is over. I should report back to the university yet I am hiding... You know why?"

Esther looked at her.

Jenny’s hand shook as she pulled out her phone.

And soon, a recording played in the empty room.

Ella’s voice was loud and clear, ’Professor, let’s be frank. I know you are Dean Mo’s mistress, not his daughter. So, if I had to reveal it to the world, wouldn’t I...’

Then, one could hear Jenny’s voice,’The reason you did not reveal it all at once is just so you could threaten me more with it! But remember Ella, I will ruin you if you dream of doing that.’

"Oh? How so?"

’You just said that I am Dean Mo’s mistress. Then let me tell you one thing, you don’t know what he is capable of! If you mess with me, you cannot imagine the consequences you will suffer...’ Jenny spoke again.

Ella sighed, ’Haven’t you given me a demo of it years ago already? You pulled me down from the peak of my career with a well-crafted scandal just to keep me quiet... Now, I am already afraid of you...’

Silence returned to the room as Jenny locked her phone and threw it inside her bag.

After a moment, Jenny said, "I received this as a mail from an unknown ID days after your parents’ anniversary, just one day before my suspension was about to be lifted. And I knew what it meant."

Jenny looked at Esther, "Ella did not want me back in the university or else this would not be sent to me privately the next time. She is not someone to be messed with."

Esther’s lips thinned, "How could you be so careless?"

Jenny laughed softly.

"It happened during the time there were rumors about my relationship with Dean Mo in the university. I doubted it was Ella so I dragged her to my office and confronted her..."

Jenny closed her eyes, "I never expected her to record it."

Esther sighed softly, "Blame yourself for being foolish..."

"Of course, I was foolish," Jenny looked up, "Or else, I would have known that the person who spread those rumors was you."

Esther froze, "Nonsense!"

"Esther, you provoked me against Ella, time and time again and I told you I wanted nothing to do with her. When you realized you couldn’t convince me to act against her, you attacked me, and then you made me think it was her who was out to harm my reputation."

Esther’s face blanched slightly.

Jenny got up from her chair, "Ella is already difficult to deal with..."

She turned to glance at Esther, "And during your parents’ anniversary, I was there. I saw that man who carried her out and if the rumors are anything to go by, he is not a person I can mess with. So, from now on, I am not crossing paths with Ella again."

Esther lowered her head slightly.

Just as Jenny reached the door, Esther lifted her gaze, "I have heard Dean Mo has been very sick lately."

Jenny’s hand halted by the door, "You are no longer Mo Jun’s fiancee, so you have no business meddling in the Mo family’s affairs."

"Jenny, I am the last person who will buy your pretense. Others might not know but I am aware that you came to Mo family with ulterior motives."

Jenny stiffened as she turned around, "You... What do you know?"

Esther sighed, "Does it matter? I don’t care about what I know or if I have some similar materials like Ella’s recording against you. Rather, I care about how we can make a great deal because of this."

Jenny stumbled back as she looked at Esther in disbelief, "You have always been scheming against me. You are... so evil..."

"I will take that as a compliment," Esther stood up, "Don’t worry. I am not being mean to you. If you don’t want to go against Ella, so be it. I won’t force you. I, alone, am enough to deal with my dear sister."

"W-What do you want then?"

"First, I want Mo Jun back. Second, I want the role of the female lead in ’The Rising Rose’."

"You... You know Mo Jun hates me because I am his father’s mistress. Others might not know but you know the reason why he left you in a heartbeat..."

Jenny inhaled a breath, "He would have tolerated it if you killed someone because he loved you that much. But you cheated on him, just like his father cheated on his mother."

"There is no way he will..."

"I am leaving that responsibility to you. Suppress him so bad that he cries tears of blood and then..."

Esther pulled out a handkerchief from her purse, looking at the embroidered Violet flowers in the corner, "I will wipe those for him."

Jenny gritted her teeth, "You... What about the roles? How do you expect me to get you the role of the female lead? From what I know, Ruby Ambrose has been chosen for that role..."
