Chapter 195
"That woman is my half sister?!" trene shouted.
"Yup," pamil.comdimmed. "But that aside, you know Leonie?"
Irene cringed at the nickname "Who doesn't? That bitch had made it hission to nearly everyone's life, mine included"
"So, you hate her?" Jamal Interpreted her words In simpler terms. "And you're willing to pull her down, making her pay for making you such a pathetic soul Duch, Trene thought, but chose to ignore the obvious insult.
"Of course I would, but last I checked, the bitch's untouchable. As much aut hate to admit it."
2/2
"Untouchable?!
"Yeah. Haven't you seen what she did to her uncle" It's huge news.
"Of course it is But that's not a problem, because unlike Rodrigo Romero, I'm not just using strategies, I'm also using my brain." Jamil tapped on his temple to emphasize his words. "Brain of strate
of that makes you any different from That fool if you're going to get caught."
*But I'm not!" famil quickly interected, a wide smile this lips. "You see, the mistake Rodrigo made was that he went for the big fish. He wanted to quickly make his way to the top Unlike him, we're going to do things slow but swift. Rather than going after Romero Empire that is now out of Benjamin's hands, we'd go for his other enterprises, the ones From there, we'd win has dients favors and soon, we'd have enough backing to ruin and buy Romero Empire. We'd play her exact gatur, except this time around, we'd be more ruthless. When all that is done, we'd simply paint Leonica red and have her name taken off the family register, mulking sure she has access to nothing and when we've officially ruined her, she'd come begging."
Jamil explained, the look in his eyes growing more and more crazy by the minute.
It creeped Irene out and for a second, she pitsed Leonica.
"From the way I see it, this is only benefit you. Where do I get my fun."
Jamil chuckded. "Don't you worry, you'll get your fun. When the time comes, not only would you be able to take revenge on your half sister, you'd also have the privilege to get revenge on the woman who had stolen your father away from your mother. And along with all that would come a great reward." He smiled deviously at the end.
Irene, however, wasn't interested in whatever reward Jamil had in mind, all she cared about was the fact that the one person she had hated since growing on, Cassandra Romero, was finally about to suffer the justice she deserved.
Oh, and not go forget her lovely half sister. Leonica had frustrated her so much in the short period they knew themselves. From stealing Arvan's heart away, to
ing her spor in Daisy's life, then there was the fact that she was her father's favorite, and the list was endless.
So yeah, this was her chance, the only opportunity she'd get to finally get rid of the people who bring her so much frustration
Fine. I'm in."She declared, a wicked smile on her face.
Jamill matched her wicked smile, his blue eyes shining brightly.
"Of course you are. You didn't have a choice to begin with. Bringing his hand forward, he offered a hand shake which Irene gladly accepted. "I look forward to ruining the Romero family with you, Irene Rosewood Romero, Stres And Whijra
