Mo Shan was still sobbing and pleading for forgiveness.
After a while, two security guards came in.
Mo Shan saw them and immediately went to hide behind Huo Yunting, but she was held firmly in place by him instead.
Huo Yunting signalled for the guards to get her out of his office.
“Brother Yunting! Brother Yunting…
“Let me go! Let me go now!”
Mo Shan was dragged all the way to the exit. Everyone in the office was shocked to see her like this.
Rumours began to spread. The staff thought that Mo Shan had offended their president, but it turned out to be something much, much worse.
In just a week’s time, the Mo empire’s share price took a nosedive.
Mo Shan’s father, Mo Yuan, was suspected of bribery and taken into custody. The family’s assets were confiscated and they had to also deal with the massive amount of compensation for breach of contract with other companies.
Huo Yunting had hired people to gather evidence of Mo Yuan’s bribery.
It was good material to threaten Mo Shan in case she tried anything mischievous, but this time she had crossed the line.
She asked for this.
…
In a quiet and peaceful apartment, a man and woman dined together in relative harmony.
Lu Zhaoyang had been busy with the Golden Territory project and finally found a break in her schedule. She heard of the Mo empire’s collapse online but had not had time to discuss it with Huo Yunting until that day.
She looked up at the man sitting opposite her, who was elegantly enjoying his meal. “The Mo empire is gone, then Mo Shan…”
Huo Yunting interrupted her. “I don’t care about her. She is no-one to me.”
“Why did you make a move against the Mo family so abruptly?” She recalled the recent events that befell them. “Is it the Golden Territory project? Was Mo Shan behind it?”
“Someone’s getting smarter.” Huo Yunting said slowly as he put a piece of ribs into her bowl. “I remember all the things she did to you before this. She must learn that her actions are not without consequence.”
“Where she is now?”
“Who knows? Forget about her and enjoy your meal.” Huo Yunting said firmly. “She doesn’t deserve any sympathy.”
Lu Zhaoyang was certainly not feeling sorry for the woman, but she did feel that the punishment was very harsh for Mo Shan. Whyever did she not stop before it was too late?
At that moment, the woman in question had already starved for an entire week.
She used what was left of her money to lease a room for the long term in a hostel. It was a terrible place with only one bed, a table, and a washroom.
Pampered most of her life, her current hellish lifestyle was a severe blow and she nearly went crazy because of it.
In the face of massive debt and need for food and shelter, she had to find herself a job.
However, even though she graduated from a prestigious national university, she failed to secure even an internship after three days of searching!
Soon, Mo Shan realized that the only reason she was rejected everywhere was Huo Yunting!
To think that he would be so cruel to her…
Night descended upon the bustling city. Nightlife establishments began their operations to entertain the city people.
Mo Shan wore a particularly revealing dress as she waitered on the customers on the dance floor.
She never imagined that she would fall so far from grace. She had no choice but to work in this industry in order to settle her debts.
Huo Yunting will pay for being so merciless!
