How scary!

Sera never saw anyone that could easily abandon someone like that!

"I never thought that you would confess in front of everyone, Miss Zhang." Sera didn\'t hide the mockery in her voice. "Are you going to tell us who— "

\'THUD\'

Zhang Ying knelled in front of her.

Huh? Why was this woman kneeling? Sera took a step back as she sneered inwardly. "Miss Zhang should be careful. What if Miss Zhang\'s lover would once again say that I push Miss Zhang down?"

"Sera… my mother… my mother didn\'t mean it."

As expected, she used her mother as a shield.

"She has mental health issues. She is already in a mental intuition! I beg you… please spare my mother from your anger!"

\'What?\'

\'It was Zhang Xin?\'

\'Zhang Xin killed Mr. Zhang?\'

\'The gentle Zhang Xin?\'

\'What do you mean by gentle? Did you see what she did to Miss Sera in her house?\'

\'What? I didn\'t see that…\'

\'Aigo… let me send you the video.\'

\'Zhang Xin is indeed brutal and scheming.\'

\'I still can\'t believe that she would murder someone!\'

"Please Sera…" Zhang Ying was trembling, tears were rolling down her cheeks like a waterfall. She looked like a drenched kitten! "Please… mother had a lot of mental issues. So I— "

"So you bought her a villa in the mental institution," Sera smirked. How could she let this opportunity go? Her guard was taking a video and Zhang Ying was happily scheming in front of her! Wouldn\'t it be nice to share this with the public?

Zhang Ying... ah... Zhang Ying...

Did she realize how foolish and rash she had been?

Sera was certain that Edward would soon take care of the reporters around her. However, Edward didn\'t know that Sera had cameras too! Just the thought of it made her smile.

"What are you talking about? I didn\'t… I didn\'t buy any villas! I just wanted to make my mother comfortable."

"Miss Zhang… it\'s useless. I have proof of what you did. What mental illness are you talking about? How come no one knows this mental illness before she schemed against me in Pane City? Before she killed the only person who cared for me?"

"Sister… I don\'t understand. How could you say that? We grow up together. You should already know what kind of woman mother was. You saw how terrible she had been. She is— "

"Zhang Ying… that won\'t work, my dear," Sera said. "Since you publicly outed your mother… then I can only file a case against your family. Murder and tampering of evidence."

Zhang Ying widened her eyes. File a case? What? She was expecting to get everyone\'s sympathy and hoped it would pressure Sera. What is happening? "Sister… please you can file a case against me. I will pay for the crimes that my mother did. I will do it. Just please… leave mother alone." Of course, Zhang Ying decided to be more dramatic.

What is more pitiful than a woman who was raised by an abusive mother with mental illness? A woman who only wanted to save the same mother? A woman who was kneeling and crying?

Zhang Ying was confident that her acting would soon touch the hearts of everyone.

"If your mother is indeed ill, then she needed to spend some time in a mental institution for dangerous people like her. Not in a villa." Sera\'s voice thundered inside Zhang Ying. What? How did Sera know about the Villa? She kept it a secret from Edward and even took care of the people who brought her mother to the mental institution. There are no cameras or anything that Sera could hack in that place! So… what is going on?

"Yingying… what is she saying?" It was Edward. He was also crouching next to her, trying to make her stand up. On the other side, Nick was also trying to help his daughter. Right now, it really looked like Sera was bullying Zhang Ying.

"I — I don\'t know Edward. I don\'t know what she is talking about. All I wanted was to take care of my mother. If Sera wanted to sue someone, then… she could just sue me! I am willing to go to prison just to protect my mother!" Zhang Ying sobbed.

"Miss Zhang… did someone told you before that your sobbing is a bit irritating? It\'s too high-pitched. It\'s ruining my eardrums."

"How dare you insult Yingying when she is already kneeling in front of you?" Edward yelled. "Zhang Ying was such a kind-hearted girl and you are treating her like she did something wrong! She grew up being abused by Zhang Xin. She was forced to attend parties and socialize because of her mother! And now that her mother did something, she is still trying to protect her! Yingying is a gentle and kind woman! How could you treat Yingying like this?"

\'What?\' Sera looked at Edward as if he was spouting some nonsense. This man is really stupid.

"Mr. Fu, did I tell her to kneel?" she asked.

"You— "

"Did I tell her to apologize?"

"Shut up!"

"Edward… please let us stop antagonizing Sister. It\'s all my fault."

Sera crossed her arms across her chest. She was waiting for Zhang Yin to faint. Of course, this acting is not going to be completed without some exaggerated fainting, right? She never expected this woman to act like she was a victim. Sera slowly clenched the pin that she put on the right side of her dress as she put her arm on the side.

She was holding a pin.

And she was planning to poke it on Zhang Ying\'s feet if she tried to fake fainting.

Sera couldn\'t help but wonder how long is she going to pretend to faint if she would feel a little pain.

Heh, it was a mischievous thought.

"Sera! Are you just going to stand there and not accept your sister\'s apology?" Nick Zhang asked, anger apparent in his face.

"Huh? What do you mean? Why would I accept something that is not for me?"

"What?"

Sera smiled. "Why do I need to accept her apology? Did her mother kill me? Obviously, she needed to apologize to grandfather and not me!" Because of Zhang Ying\'s words, the Zhang Company\'s stocks would surely go down. So, it was already a win for Sera. No matter what happens after this, Sera is already the victor of this confrontation.

Right now, Zhang Ying was only thinking of saving herself. She wasn\'t thinking of her father or the Zhang Family. The fact that Sera knew about the Villa must have surprised her.

Sera thought it was suspicious. Was it possible that this Zhang Ying already got the approval of that Councilwoman Fu? Oh well… that is no longer a part of Sera\'s business.

"What do you mean by that?"

"Isn\'t it clear, Mr. Fu?" Sera asked. "Why is your woman apologizing to me and not to my grandfather? I don\'t see any reason why she would kneel in front of me. Perhaps she wanted everyone\'s sympathy?" What\'s so good about someone\'s sympathy? Sera couldn\'t understand this. As someone who grew up without experiencing any sort of sympathy from everyone, she couldn\'t understand why this should matter. "But… would that change the fact that she is a daughter of a murderer?"

"Sera, you are going overboard! Look at Yingying she is already too pale and weak!"

"Did I say something wrong?" Sera sneered. "Miss Zhang… you are the daughter of a murderer who helped your mother escaped and even tampered with the evidence by cremating your own grandfather without the knowledge of your father."

Sera was chuckling as she looked at them.

Her words just put the father and daughter into a very tough position. First, if Zhang Ying would say that her father knew, then it means that Nick Zhang knew who murdered his own father. How could he be that heartless? Because of this, Nick Zhang would hesitate to say that he knew about the cremation and Zhang Xin\'s case. However, not saying anything would only make Zhang Ying the supervillain who knew that her mother is the murderer of her grandfather and chose to hide it from the authorities and her father!

Sera waited for the father and daughter to answer her words.

This is making her so excited!

"I— no matter what my wife and daughter did, they are still my family!"

Sera almost burst out laughing when she heard Nick\'s voice. That\'s it. He wouldn\'t save his daughter and wife. He would feign ignorance. She then watched as Zhang Ying\'s face lost all its color, she looked like some white paper. Then there it was…

Zhang Ying held her head before she started to sway.

"Yingying?" Edward clutched his fiance\'s body as Zhang Ying lost consciousness.
