Allia Ming is almost dead drunk when her phone rings.
She ignored it at first but because the caller is very persistent, she had to take a look at the caller.
Seeing it's one of her friends whose husband unfortunately fell from grace, she right away threw her phone.
In her drunken state, she started to throw things on the wall including her expensive perfumes.
Surely by tomorrow, the materialistic side of her would want to bite her elbow tomorrow if she is to wake up with the mess and stupidity she created.
Unless she could still think about her expensive perfume when she would be overwhelmed by the fact that her own son was removed from his position in Ming Corporation the instant her sober consciousness returns.
On the other side of the Lim mansion, Laureen Lim was calling Allia Ming to ask for help. After all, if not because she blindly spread the information about the rumored Rawlf Sy's woman and children, then her family wouldn't have fallen into this dire predicament.
Laureen Lim is even more frustrated because her husband, Gener Lim hasn't come back home for the past few days since his removal issue was brought up.
He didn't even come home when his removal was finalized! She had been calling the old man's phone but it couldn't reach him. She was pacing back and forth when her eldest son arrived.
Seeing him, she walked to him in a rush to ask for help with contacting his father. But what confused Laureen Lim was an obvious, cheap, paparazzi paper her son pushed towards her with an ugly face.
"What happened?" "Take a look at it ma."
When Laureen Lim pened the newspaper, her eyes instantly caught the picture not because it's the headliner but because the face of the man embracing a rather young woman is no other than her own husband, Gener Lim!
No more detailed explanation is needed because the picture speaks for itself!
Laureen Lim's whole body trembled with rage by this obvious betrayal as she slumped down on the floor, crying but at the same time, laughing.
She's in a total mess as she keeps on screaming the word "Bastard!", while her eldest son is trying to pacify her.
Gener Lim's promiscuous life was exposed in the whole City I, putting the green hat on the woman who once was caught saying that, "if the husband took a mistress, it would be the wife who was lacking."
The incident with both the Zhou and Lim family was another unfortunate yet accepted nature in the high society of City I.
Even if not everyday, from time to time, there would be news of a family who had fallen from grace because it unfortunately and stupidly made an enemy of another stronger family.
It's a dog eat dog society. The strongest trampling on the weak. That's why almost every family would teach their youngsters to always be careful who they deal with and who they bully because it might be another young master or young miss of another much stronger family.
Unfortunately for the Lim and Zhou family, it is their family's madam who made such a grave mistake.
This incident also made Veronica fall in thought. Because what partaken to the two families also reminds her of what happened to her own family, five years ago.
She turned to Zero, "And report to me the instant you have even the smallest lead." "Yes Lady."
