The CEO's Woman

Chapter 425 Next Matriarch

Chapter 425 Next Matriarch

In a castle-like house, a woman with blond waist-long hair and bloody red fingernails smiled at her reflection in the full body height mirror in front of her.

"Perfect," she mused before taking another twirl.

"Young Madam," an attendant bowed down respectfully to the woman. "Master is waiting for you in his study room."

The woman did not answer the attendant as she walked out of her room and headed to her husband’s study room. She immediately opened the door without even knocking and was about to greet the man when the strong smell of vodka assaulted her senses.

"What’s wrong?" She asked, covering her nose. This man already knew that she couldn’t stand the smell of alcohol, yet, he still kept on drinking every time he encountered a problem. "I have already told you not to drink alcohol. You never listen to me at all." She frowned before taking a vacant seat across her husband.

"They were not able to subdue Jiang Yue." The man said in a grave tone.

"So?" She asked. "Why worry about her? She is not qualified to be my opponent."

"She has the matriarchs blood. She is the most qualified person to become the next Matriarch!"

The woman instantly scoffed before looking at her nails. "Did she marry the man that she was supposed to marry?"

"No. That is because she is not aware of that arrangement. If she was... then she might marry him and become the next Matriarch." The man refuted. "If that happens, then my uncle’s plan will be useless. He might even kill me... us."

"Hmp! I am the most qualified person to become the next Matriarch. Even if that woman gets married to the man that she is supposed to marry, she still is not qualified to become my rival."

"Mia... you are being overconfident. I already told you that she is very talented. We have received an email from the Li Family... telling us that she has detained them and has full control over their space weapons." The man downed another glass of vodka. "If that is true, then she can eliminate us in a blink if she wants too... anytime..."

"Space weapons?" Mia asked. "How come we didn’t know anything about their existence?"

"Well, they kept it as a secret... they can’t even gain the control back from that woman at this moment," he answered. "Now, you should believe me when I say that she is very capable of killing us."

"That Li Family is extremely stupid." Mia’s face darkened, as she thought about the Li Family. "Send some people to end them."

"I already have." The man stated. "You really should stay here and not go out. Stop socializing with your friends and focus on running the family business. We have encountered a lot of problems lately."

"Aside from that woman?"

"Yes... another Organization is trying to rob us and snatch our resources. They have obtained our suppliers for diamonds. The worst part is that we don’t even know who the leader of that organization is."

"Can it be Jiang Yue?" Mia asked.

"Of course, not. She should not be capable of doing that... yet."

The couple turned silent, as they started thinking about the things that had been happening lately.

"What about the Matriarch?" Mia asked.

"You know how hateful that woman is. She refuses to order anyone to attack this new Organization. Even my uncle can’t persuade her."

Mia frowned at her husband’s words. It was well-known that Natalie Vercello was the Matriarch of the Vercello Family, however, not many people knew that her husband-Antonio Pardi was the one who actually ran the family. No one but Mia and her husband knew that her uncle Antonio was threatening Natalie with hurting her family if she didn’t comply with whatever he wanted.

However, that was only applicable to money and other important things in the Vercello Family. When it came to managing the Organization, Natalie was actually doing a brilliant job about it. It was something that her uncle Antonio, never involved himself in. After all, he couldn’t be too obvious about his threats to his wife.

"Then, you should tell uncle about this," she answered her husband after a few seconds of silence.

"You know that uncle does not involve himself with the Organization’s business. As long as he controls the money and power, then he is fine with it. He would not care about Natalie’s actions as long as she is not doing anything to contact her family and is not harming the reputation of the Vercello Family."

Mia scoffed at her husband’s words. "If uncle loves money that much, then why is he still keeping that woman alive when he can easily kill her? He loves her. That’s a fact! And that love is making him stupid."

"Close your mouth! You should not say things like this! Walls have ears! Be careful next time..." The man berated, his tone full of warning. If Antonio got ahold of their conversation he would not even hesitate to kill them both.
