Later that night, Rose Young arrived home at her condo unit after Jenny Tseng’s driver dropped her off from the bar. The two friends were drunk but not completely wasted. They were able to hold back, as both still had work the next morning.
She was about to sleep when her phone started ringing. At first, she ignored it but it rang again. It kept on ringing.
"Who the fuck are you?!" she roared.
Despite her irritation at being disturbed so late at night, she still checked her phone. It was her father. Her irritation immediately disappeared.
"Hello, dad?" she slurred.
A few seconds of silence.
"You’re drunk?" her father, Romeo Young, asked. Disapproval was clear in his voice.
"I only drank a little, dad. Don’t worry. And I was with Jenny. We’re both adults now."
Romeo Young only harrumphed and didn’t comment about her drunk state anymore. He immediately went straight to the reason of his call.
"The hacker I talked to said that his group couldn’t trace KittyBaby’s identity. The person behind that account is very careful," he said.
"That hacker sucks, dad. Can’t even do something so simple."
She was looking forward to learning about the person behind KittyBaby, but it turned out that the hacker her father contacted was useless.
"You shut your mouth!" Romeo Young’s angry voice shouted at her on the phone.
Rose Young’s eyes widened, shocked at her father’s fury. She didn’t understand why he would be so mad at her for telling the truth. The hacker couldn’t trace a simple anonymous account. Wasn’t that incompetence, especially for a hacker?
She could hear her father trying to calm himself on the other end of the line by taking a few deep breaths. A few moments later, he spoke again.
"Don’t ever say that again. Do you hear me? You can anger anyone, including me, but don’t ever anger those hackers."
"Huh?"
The drunk Rose Young didn’t understand why her father sounded so paranoid.
"Let’s not talk about this anymore," he said in a calmer tone. "We have to focus on your mission there. Your mother and I spent so much time, effort and resources in order to get you the CMO position. But look at your current situation! I’m very disappointed by your lack of progress!"
Rose Young’s expression immediately soured.
Her father continued, "That move you made with Jenny Tseng was so stupid! You graduated from a world-class Ivy League university but you acted like a dumb teenage girl! Use your brains!"
"Dad...I know already. You don’t have to rub salt in my wounds," she said through gritted teeth.
"You need to do something about your current situation or all the effort our family, the Youngs, and your mother’s family made for you will be for naught. We are all counting on you to become the next Madam Jin. Your mother and I already made things easier for you by getting you promoted directly to an executive position instead of following the regular route of starting from the bottom at the main headquarters," he told her.
Rose Young’s mind wasn’t very clear because of her drunkenness. Despite this, she still forced herself to focus on what her father was saying.
Her father sighed softly, as he let her cry. When her sobs eased a bit, he spoke in a gentle voice. ƒrēewebnoѵёl.cσm
"Dad? Hello, dad? Are you okay?" she asked, slurring once again.
"Y-you’re drunk," was all he could say after his violent coughing stopped.
Indeed, Rose Young felt drunker. All her inhibitions were thrown out of the window, even when talking to her own father.
Before she could start mindlessly talking about "fucking" once again, Romeo Young immediately diverted her attention from the explicit topic.
"We should find out who his fiancée is. It would be better if we know her identity before Jin Liwei introduces her to the public. The earlier we know, the sooner we can get rid of her."
Rose Young started a round of drunken giggling. "We’re going to get rid of her? Yes, yes. We should get rid of her."
"Don’t worry about that woman anymore. Just focus on your mission of seducing Jin Liwei," he advised his daughter. "No matter who that woman is, she’s still a nobody. Our family has the strongest support. If Jin Liwei is really smart, he should be choosing you and cooperate with us or he’ll have to face against one of the most dangerous powers in the world."
The drunk Rose Young didn’t understand what her father was talking about. "Huh, what? Strongest support? Who?"
"Don’t ask too many questions. Just do what you need to do, alright?"
By this time, she was already feeling sleepy.
"Alright... Dad, I promise you...I’ll marry Big Brother Liwei...and become Madam Jin...and then..." She giggled. "And then I’ll fuck him very hard. Harder than how that slut fucks him."
Her eyes closed and she fell asleep, dreaming about doing just that with Jin Liwei.
