Chapter 455: Chapter 455

"If you don’t do it, I’ll expose all the shady business between you and the company!"

Lin Jiji’s face twisted into a snarl. "After what happened today, I’m already finished. A man with nothing to lose isn’t afraid of those who have everything to lose.

If you won’t even grant me this one last request, then I’ll make sure none of you get off easy before I’m destroyed. Especially you.

Sure, you’re Sister Rose, the untouchable titan of the industry. But the real you isn’t nearly as pristine as you seem.

You don’t have many weaknesses, not much that can be used against you. But I happen to hold every last piece of leverage there is. If I expose it all, I can absolutely destroy the public image you’ve spent years building. Your status in this industry will plummet!"

Hearing this, Sister Rose’s resolve began to waver.

She really wasn’t as pristine as she appeared.

And very few people knew that hidden side of her.

But Lin Jiji was definitely one of them.

In the past, even if Lin Jiji had known, he wouldn’t have dared to say a word.

But things were different now.

A cornered animal will lash out, to say nothing of a desperate man like Lin Jiji!

If he really exposed those things, Sister Rose’s reputation would take a massive hit!

But helping Lin Jiji meant personally torpedoing the deal she had just made with Chenyang.

She wasn’t afraid of retaliation from Chenyang, nor was she afraid of titans like Zhang Hongtu and Lin Yongkun.

But she didn’t want to be the kind of person who goes back on her word.

For a moment, Sister Rose was trapped in a state of deep conflict and indecision.

Seeing this, a smile touched Lin Jiji’s vicious features. "Helping me won’t hurt you. He’s just one man, Chenyang. With your resources, crushing him would be as easy as squashing an ant.

Besides, I’m not asking you to kill him, just to help me ruin him. I’ve already gathered the necessary witnesses and evidence. You just need to find a way to make it all official, and this will be over quickly."

Sister Rose looked up at him, a self-deprecating smile on her lips. "I really raised a good dog these past two years. He was always so obedient, but now that he’s desperate, he’s turning around to bite his master."

Lin Jiji said coldly, "That’s right, I’m your dog. But even dogs bite their masters. And if I go for your throat, you’ll feel the pain."

Sister Rose took a deep breath, her gaze turning to Chenyang, her expression complex.

But before she could speak, Chenyang smiled knowingly, as if he had read her mind. "What’s the matter? He got to you?"

Sister Rose nodded. "I’m sorry. It seems our partnership is off."

"So you don’t have complete control over Lin Jiji after all."

"Apparently not."

Chenyang scoffed. "Letting a piece of trash like Lin Jiji get the upper hand... I guess you’re not as formidable as everyone says."

Sister Rose pressed her lips together. "Even the best of us stumble sometimes."

"Hahaha, such a lame excuse. That doesn’t sound like the Sister Rose who was going toe-to-toe with me just a moment ago."

"If mocking me helps you get over your anger about me breaking my promise, then feel free to keep going."

Chenyang shook his head. "Oh, I’m definitely going to mock you. But... I’m not going to give you the chance to break your promise!"

Hearing this, Sister Rose’s brow furrowed. "What do you mean by that? Are you saying you can handle Lin Jiji’s threat for me?"

Chenyang smiled. "I can’t. But someone else can."

"Who?"

"Me!"

As the word "Me!" was spoken, a graceful figure familiar to everyone suddenly stepped forward.

Lin Jiji and Sister Rose looked up, their expressions changing in an instant. "Liu Yue?!"

"It’s me."

Liu Yue nodded, glancing first at Lin Jiji and then turning to Sister Rose. "The leverage Lin Jiji thinks he has on you? It’s all in my hands.

If I hand it over, he can threaten you. If I don’t, he has absolutely no power over you whatsoever."

Hearing this, Sister Rose froze for a second. Then, as if a thought had just struck her, she broke into a wide, happy smile.

Lin Jiji’s face, however, contorted with rage. "Liu Yue, are you betraying me too?!"
