Chereads / Crimson's Revenge / Chapter 174 - Scandal

Chapter 174 - Scandal

After a few days, Uoron did as promised and released the scandal about Seth and Lilith's company without changing the conditions. Reen was still puzzled about the second condition but as he already released the news and fulfilled his end of the deal she decided to remunerate or talked about it with him the next time they met.

She didn't share the second condition with Hue and Wisteria as base on their protectiveness towards her they would definitely react violently. To prevent a bloody bath from happening she opted not to tell them.

One morning while Reen, Wisteria and Hue were having their breakfast together they discovered that the fopdoodle [1] couple's scandal was released. A scandal was brewing [2] as they quietly continued to watch the news.

Hue, Wisteria and Reen were having the usual big breakfast when the news broke out.

The television was turned on and could be seen even if they were sitting at the dining area.

The news showed the different crimes the couple had done covertly and openly but was covered up through bribes and threats from the company.

The news brought a great negative impact towards their company and the people who were greedy enough to be bribed by this wicked company which was what Reen, Wisteria and Hue were aiming for.

They also presented proof of the crimes through documents, photos, videos, recordings and live witnesses that were protected by the witness protection police [3].

There were several evidences that no matter what Seth and Lilith's company's public relation speakers recounted and rebuke it was all useless in the end.

"Hmm…?" Wisteria reacted with a frown making Hue and Reen looked away from the news momentarily.

"What's with the frown dear?" Hue said filled with concern

"The kale salad seems to have gone bad, don't eat it anymore."

She covered her mouth and went to the kitchen to throw up the salad she just ate. Hue and Reen looked at each other, Reen who ate the salad then said

"Hmm… I don't think so. The salad tastes fine to me."

Wisteria returned and frowned but insisted otherwise. Being a bit guilty for wasting food but since it was rotten Reen did not have a choice but to concede and allowed Wisteria to take the salad on her plate to be thrown.

Wisteria took the kale salad still frowning and went to the kitchen to throw it out as they continued to eat and listen to the news.

After the news ended, the family of three did not feel any remorse or pity for the adulterous and wicked couple and resumed their own conversation after turning off the television and finishing their breakfast.

Wisteria brought some peppermint tea which helps to digest the food more quickly by improving the flow of bile inside the body [4].

They then talked about their plans for their upcoming retaliation.

"We have discussed this with the group to give us a solid alibi when we do our revenge we have to reveal the truth of you being Crimson…"

"Why so?" They knew her reluctance towards this scenario but she believed they wouldn't reveal it unless really necessary so rather than rebuke them right away she asked them first instead.

[1] A fopdoodle is someone of little significance.

[2] An evil story is being told

[3] Witness protection is shielding of a threatened witness involved in the justice system, before, during, and after a trial.

[4] I got this explanation from Google and this is not mine and in no way am I claiming this to be otherwise.
