My Bossy CEO Husband

Chapter 180: Scandal 

Luke clasped his hands and rubbed them together in excitement.As he was sitting on the shotgun, he turned around and looked at Wendy slyly.

"What are you planning to do? Let me help you.I'm absolutely reliable."

"Thank you.I really need your help this time.You have a lot of friends who work in media, right?" Luke puffed up his chest and patted it proudly.

"That's correct, Wendy.Do you know that even the most famous star in the industry doesn't have as many friends in the media as I do? Just tell me what you need me to do.I'll do it right away."

Wendy's revenge was simple.

At that moment, she took out what Roger had found out in his investigation about Eris.

She copied the evidence and then sent it to Luke.

As Luke read the file, he could not help but frown in confusion and disagreement.

"Wendy, you..."

"What's wrong?"

"I understand what you're trying to do, but if you do this, you'll also be in the center of the storm.The public will criticize you as well."

Wendy was planning to expose how Eris stole Brian away from her.

This was the perfect time to do that.

After all, Brian had just proposed to Eris, and the public was still being wooed about their romance.

If Wendy exposed what Eris had done to steal Brian from her, Eris would be condemned, and her reputation would forever be tainted.

Needless to say, what Wendy was about to do would have a significant impact on her evil stepsister.

There was a catch, though.

Wendy's name would also be dragged into the issue as she was involved in the love triangle back then.

Coupled with what had happened at today's live broadcast, she would also be criticized.

Even so, Eris and Wendy's relationship would be revealed.

That would be one hell of news, so people and the media would be distracted by that.

"This method...I don't think it's a good idea," Luke concluded.

He then looked at Ryan to ask for his opinion.

All of a sudden, Ryan snatched the phone from Luke's hand, glanced at it, and then deleted the evidence.

"Hey! Why did you do that?" Wendy asked incredulously.

"Although you'll be able take revenge on Eris by doing this, you'll hurt yourself in the process, stupid."

"But I have a shred of irrefutable evidence! Even if Eris denies this allegation, she won't be able to dodge it.Yes, I'll also be involved in the issue, but I'm the victim.Yes, I will probably be cursed, and people may tell me I'm stupid for dating such a man.But, Eris is different.She stole her own sister's boyfriend.This won't be just some gossip, but a real scandal! Something enough to destroy her! As long as the truth gets exposed, Eris won't be able to recover from it."

"I say you leave this matter to Luke."

"Ryan!" Wendy protested.

Ryan put his hand on her shoulder and reassured, "Trust me."

Wendy looked at him but did not say a word.

In all honesty, she felt relieved the instant she met his eyes.

‘'What the hell.'’ Wendy sighed.

At that moment, she coughed slightly to catch Luke's attention.

When it did, she glared at him skeptically.

Luke's mouth fell open, seemingly enraged by her glare.

"Damn it! Why are you looking at me like that? Don't you trust me? I can do anything you ask me to do! Just wait and see.I'll avenge you!"

"Really? You can really do that?" Wendy asked with a smirk as though provoking him.

Luke seemed offended that he gnashed his teeth and said gloomily, "Wendy, don't question a man's apiny” Helpless, the corners of Wendy's mouth twitched.Well, she never doubted Luke's sexual competence.

Suddenly, Ryan shot Luke a warning look, and the latter bit his lip and became a coward.

‘'Ryan, just wait and see.I'll impress her for you, '’ Luke swore to himself inwardly. NôvelDrama.Org content.

On the other side, a wave of maniacal laughter echoed in Eris' room.

"Ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha!"

Eris jumped onto the sofa and laughed wildly as she watched the chaos in the live broadcast.

She pointed at Wendy's ashen face on the TV and arrogantly said, "That's what you get for fighting against me! You dared to take Brian away from me, huh! You wish!"

Ana, her assistant, shrank in the corner and looked at Eris with lingering fear.

If it were not for the high salary that Eris was giving to her, she would have never taken this job as Eris's assistant.

After all, she hated working for someone like Eris.

People had always praised how kind and gentle Eris was, but in reality, she was not.

Only a handful people who were around Eris on a daily basis knew that she was actually violent and mean.

She often beat and scolded her assistant, even over minor mistakes.

She was totally different from the kind and innocent image she was portraying on the screen.

Anyway, there was nothing Ana could do except comfort herself in silence and endure everything Eris threw at her.

‘'Ana, get a hold of yourself for the salary.Calm down and remind yourself that you won't ever find a high-paying job somewhere else,” she comforted herself.

In the living room.

With a beaming smile, Eris was talking with her mother on the phone.

"Mom! Mom, you're so amazing.How did you come up with such an idea? Thanks to you, Wendy's image is ruined.Even though she's just a newbie, her reputation is damaged.For sure, the company won't protect her.They'll just leave her to fend for herself.She's doomed," she said with a sly smile.Cacia's voice came from the other end of the line.

"My dear daughter, I'll do my best to remove every obstacle that comes your way."

"I love you so much, Mom."

As Eris spoke, she suddenly recalled Wendy's threat to her at the filming site.

At the thought of it, she quickly sat down on the sofa, her face white as a sheet.

"By the way, Mom, There's something I forgot to tell you.Wendy threatened me that if I exposed her, she would tell the public that I seduced Brian and took him away from her.No, no! Mom, it cost me everything just to get my current position in the entertainment industry.If my past gets exposed, my career as an actress will be over!"

"Stop panicking!"

"But Mom-"

Before Eris could complete her sentence, Cacia interrupted her.

"I wouldn't have done this in the first place, if weren't for that bitch.Don't worry.I have another plan.I promise you, nobody will ever believe what she'll say."

Eris breathed a sigh of relief but asked, "Are you really sure about that, Mom?"

"Have I ever lied to you?"

It was only at that moment that Eris completely felt reassured.

"Well, never.Anyway, I'll wait for your good news."

Eris had lived with only her mother since she was a child.

Ruben had not divorced Cassie, Wendy's mother, yet.

At that time, Cacia always spoke ill of Cassie and her two daughters in front of Eris, so Eris inherited that habit.

It was from then on that she started to hate Wendy.

Sometime later, Wendy came back to live with them when her grandmother passed away.

For some reason, Eris hated her more, even though she had just seen Wendy for the first time.

Although Wendy was rustic from living in the countryside for years, she was pretty and lovely.

One day, a handsome young man from their neighborhood found out that Eris was Wendy's sister.

Since then, he had become enthusiastic towards her.

Eris thought that the lad had a crush on her, but then he suddenly asked her to send his love letter to Wendy.

This infuriated Eris.

Instead of giving the love letter to Wendy, she tore it to pieces and then threw it into the trash can.

Unfortunately, her jealousy did not stop there.

After Brian came into the picture, her hatred for Wendy reached its peak.

Although she did not want to admit it, she was jealous.

Eris could not help but wonder, 'Why are there a lot of people who like Wendy and not me?'Finding out that Brian was in love with Wendy was the last straw.

In Eris's eyes, Brian was excellent.

In fact, he was her ideal man.

Every time she saw Brian and Wendy happy together, a wave of jealousy would wash over her.

The hatred, coupled with jealousy, in her heart made her vow to herself she would take Brian away from Wendy one way or another.

But now...

Just when success and happiness was right before Eris's eyes, Wendy unexpectedly came back.

Eris could not take it any longer.

Fortunately, Cacia was quick to plot against Wendy.

Eris believed that it would not be long until Wendy disappeared from showbiz and her and Brian's life."Eris, are you listening?"

Cacia's impatient voice reached Eris's ears, interrupting her fantasies.

She held the phone tightly and replied, "I'm still here.What's the matter?"

"Money!"

Cacia demanded.

"What money?"

"I was just telling you that the money you sent for the living expenses at home wasn't enough.Transfer some money immediately."Eris frowned and asked with suspicion, "Mom, didn't I just transfer fifty thousand dollars two days ago? It's only been a couple of days.Why is it used up already?"

"Stop asking questions and just do as I say.I need money to find someone to deal with Wendy!"

Eris thought it made sense, so she agreed at once.

"How much do you want?"

"Two million!"
