Demon?
Lu Yao gave a cold laugh. “I’m merely offering you a well-intentioned warning.”
Her clear eyes filled with mockery. Staring at Sun Ying, she spoke without the slightest trace of warmth. “Miss Sun, if this were all I had, I certainly wouldn’t be sitting here negotiating with you. These are nothing more than appetizers. The main course has only just begun. But before we start, I’d like to ask you in advance: are you planning to withdraw your lawsuit against Mr. Ye Zema?”
“Bah! Don’t even think about it!”
“That beast of a man, that irredeemable scumbag—I will never withdraw the lawsuit!”
Sun Ying returned to her seat, not taking Lu Yao seriously at all. With Ye Hua backing her, why should she be afraid of some insignificant lawyer?
“Miss Sun, you shouldn’t speak with such certainty. Take a look at this photograph before making your decision.” Calmly, Lu Yao pushed a photograph in front of Sun Ying.
Sun Ying raised an eyebrow. As she picked up the photograph, she said, “Attorney Lu, stop playing coy. If you have something, bring it all out at once. Don’t try to bluff me.”
The instant her gaze fell upon the blurred figure in the photograph, her face turned ashen.
Lu Yao took in every change in her expression and asked, “Miss Sun, may I ask you a question?”
“Lu Yao, whatever else you have, bring it all out.”

“Before that, I hope you’ll answer one question first.”
“What question?”
“Do you think the person pulling your strings ever considered what you would do if your plan failed?”
The moment those words were spoken, Sun Ying felt as though her mind had exploded.
She bit down hard on her lip, her eyes fixed on the blurred figure in the photograph as her breathing grew rapid and ragged.
“You spent a fortune polishing your image and risked everything for someone else, all because you wanted to force your way into high society.” Lu Yao had seen countless people like Sun Ying and naturally knew exactly where to strike. “Yet you forgot that no matter how hard you tried to squeeze your way in, your family background would never change. Even if you succeeded, the role you played in that circle would be nothing more than that of a lowly errand runner—a source of amusement for the wealthy ladies.”
“That’s enough! Stop talking!” Sun Ying clenched both hands into fists and slammed them against the table, screaming hysterically.
As though she had anticipated Sun Ying’s emotional breakdown, Lu Yao remained perfectly composed as she said, “Xiang Qin, go get me a cup of coffee.”
Caught off guard by the sudden instruction, Xiang Qin froze for a moment before belatedly leaving the reception room.
The door closed once more.
Only then did Lu Yao open and play the final video.

The voices of Sun Ying and her boyfriend came through the recording.
Her boyfriend had asked her to frame Ye Zema. At first, she had wanted to refuse, but he had been gambling recklessly in Macau during that period and, having lost control, had run up eighty million in gambling debts.
Eighty million was no small sum to her.
But if she succeeded in setting a trap for Ye Zema, she would receive one hundred million.
Not only would the gambling debt be paid off, she would still have twenty million left to enjoy a carefree life for some time.
Under her boyfriend’s desperate pleading, she had no choice but to grit her teeth and agree.
“If I hand this video over to the police, I can clear Third Young Master’s name immediately. And you and your boyfriend will be sued by Third Young Master for injury to reputation and defamation. Not only will you fail to get the hundred million, you may even face retaliation from the Ye family and end up dead without a grave.” Lu Yao rose and moved to Sun Ying’s side. Resting a hand on her shoulder, she leaned toward her ear and said, “Of course, I haven’t gone to the police because I wanted to give you a chance to atone by telling the truth. Whether you seize that chance is up to you.”
