Gideon instantly chuckled mockingly at Jiang Yue's words. "Oh, please spare me… A lot of people will be thankful to me if I kill her right on the spot. They might even throw a party if I show them her dead body."
"Who are those people?" She asked, her stance vigilant, ready to fight.
"You know, seeing you protect this criminal really hurts me…" Gideon shook his head. "Come here and sit beside me. I don't want Simon to accidentally hurt even a single hair of yours."
"Criminal?" Jiang Yue glared at Gideon when she noticed her mother shaking. "You and the Li Family are the real criminals! Tell me! Why do you want to kill my mother?!"
"Well... let's just say she is a loose end. She should have died a long time ago. Because of her…" Gideon hesitated. "Li Jun left the family! Because of this woman, he left the people who truly loved him!"
"Now... once again... Come here! Stand by my side! You are from the Li Family! You are born to rule this country!" Gideon exclaimed.
Jiang Yue scoffed at his words. "So stupid! Do you really think that I will abandon my mother for this coun..."
"STOP CALLING HER 'MOTHER'!" Gideon's extreme reaction instantly made Jiang Yue froze.
"She doesn't deserve to be called 'mother'! Not after what she has done!"
"What do you mean? What has she done?" She asked curiously. "She ran away to protect me from you and the Li family! No matter what, she is my mother!"
"Is that was she has told you?" Gideon let out a low laugh. "And you believed her? I have always thought that you were a smart person… tsk… tsk…" Gideon shook his head displeased.
"Come on, Wang Ruo… stop hiding behind your daughter's back and tell your daughter why you actually left!"
"Go on… tell her how you have killed those children in cold blood! Tell her how you did not even flinch when you press that…"
"Stop…" Wang Ruo lowered her head as she shouted that word.
"What? Can't you face the truth? Huh? You are nothing but a coward woman! You have killed those kids, Wang Ruo! Face it…"
"I SAID STOP!" Wang Ruo pushed Jiang Yue away from her as she took a step closer to Gideon. "Stop it! If you want to, then kill me! Kill me right now."
"Mother what are you doing?" Jiang Yue instantly held her mother's arm, holding her back from taking another step towards Gideon.
"Huh… so you don't want your child to know that you are nothing but a criminal? Are you embarrassed now, Wang Ruo?"
"I am not a criminal!"
"Is that so?" Gideon snickered. "Foolish woman! You have manipulated Li Jun into killing those people! You are a liar and a criminal! Why are you unwilling to let your daughter know about your sins before you die?" Gideon provoked. This woman was a loose end. She was Li Jun's weakness. She was his heaven and hell. She must be killed. There was no other way.
The whole family knew that this woman was Li Jun's weakness. Because of that, the whole Li Family had planned a very well-thought trap to capture and kill her.
Even if that meant using Jiang Yue.
The Li family had planned everything, from confusing Jiang Yue to giving her half-truths. They wanted her to be present in M Country. They also took advantage of Li Qiang's anger towards Li Jun and asked him to come to M Country to spend some time with the Li Family. They knew that this would provoke Li Qiang into siding with the Kim Family.
"I said I am not a criminal! I did not know that I… I would not have… I…. I did not know that there were children out there! It was an order! I had to follow their orders!" Wang Ruo shouted while trying to suppress all the emotions that were going to burst out at any moment. Then, she looked at Jiang Yue, her eyes full of tears. "I didn't mean to kill them... I swear... I have evidence... I can prove my innocence... I…"
"Innocence?" Gideon ridiculed her. "Wang Ruo... stop lying... You and Li Qiang are the only people left from your team. Li Qiang is dying while you... Well, you will follow him after a while too. The people who you have offended back then have ordered us to kill both of you. Do you really think that you can still show that evidence to the world after this?"
"Foolish woman..."
