"Jade, my brother had been trying to arrange a meeting with us, I don't think it is anything good, we should just ignore it. What do you think?" Father Lee asked Jade's opinion.
"I would ignore it as well but what are the chances, he is going to force his way through?" she asked.
"Very high. Then we agree but it must be according to our terms." Father Lee replied.
"We get him to meet us at my gallery? I think it is the safest option. What does father think?" Jade said.
After some deep pondering, Father Lee nodded his head. He knew about the bomb shelter and the underground escape route the gallery has. Worse comes to worst he would sacrifice himself to keep her safe, he had promised his son he will keep her and his unborn grandchild alive. He had failed to protect the only woman who held his heart in her palm, he won't fail his son this time. Plus, this matter is between him and his lunatic brother. Their relationship was never close because since young he was already trained to be the heir while his brother led a more carefree life and because of his busy schedule, they did not interact much.
Lee Han Ping always felt like their parents gave too much attention to Lee Han Ting and he resented that. He hated that he was always second, he did not asked to be born second. He did not know that the training Lee Han Ting went through were harsh and tough. Lee Han Ting longed for the carefree life Lee Han Ping led but he had long accepted his fate and was trained to be obedient since young. Therefore, he did as he was told and never once he complained. If only they knew each others thought, maybe life would be simpler.
Lee Han Ping was happy when he received the reply from Lee Han Ting. He didn't care the venue, it does not matter, all he needed is for them to be in the same room, he doesn't even need any of Al Paci men to follow. He is confident with his plans and there is no way anything will go wrong. The date is set a week from now, just nice as the bomb would be ready. It is the exact tooth bomb that nearly killed Derek. Undetectable and easily to detonate. He just wants to end the life of the man who had everything he could not. The annoying daughter in law is just the icing on the cake.
Derek's ground team managed to carry out their plans. They expertly manoeuvre around the tight security and planted in some high powered device once trigger will caused a huge power surge and cause the whole city to be blackout.
Kwi Shan has successfully gathered evidence of Heather's crime against men and her sexual preferences. In Russia, especially in a large mafia organisation, homosexuality is a no no and is disapproved by all. LGBT group had been target of hate crimes since decades but nothing were done to protect this group. Jade wanted Heather to feel the exact humiliation Heather had intended for April. Since Heather also has the ambition to cause Adam and April to fall off their pedestal, she will return the very same. Jade had nothing against homosexuality and supports anyone who wanted a gender change as long as it brings them happiness. It is just that this is her only weapon against Heather. Since Heather was being hateful, she only wanted to return the favor back. One should be given a taste of their own medicine.
Jade even consulted her life guru that specialises in social etiquette on how she should approach this subject with Kwi Shan as she is afraid Kwi Shan might feel slighted and hurt and might have a misunderstanding towards her views on the LGBT community. Kwi Shan was surprised that Jade who was always straightforward and direct approach this matter in a roundabout manner. Kwi Shan had long known Jade's stand and never once Jade made Sarah or her feel embarrassed. In fact, it was during Jade's reign that she made a law that the company is against bullying and protected the rights of the LGBT community. Hence, she understood perfectly Jade's intention well, that this is not against the LGBT community but more of a personal vendetta.
It is a taboo in this society regarding sexual orientation and sexuality. Jade had always believed that nobody asked to be born that way. Somehow the programming of certain individual had gotten a mixed up but it was already too late to make correction before the birth. Like how she herself was a defect. That was how she viewed herself before Mama Lu and Derek. Thanks to the two people that brought her so much happiness and love, she no longer think herself as a defect but as someone born with a gift.
Another short chapter. I have touched sensitive issues but I hope none will comment negatively as author has the right to express her thoughts. Author does not wish to cause a debate about religion and society conformity. Author hopes to maintain the peace. Thank you and sorry if I have caused anyone to feel uncomfortable or hurt anyone's feeling.
