The Manipulated Villainess

"My men informed me that Peter Jung just left his mansion. I think he made up his mind now."

Aston's lips curved into a little smile when he heard Nathan who was on the other line. "That's great. We will be on our way too," he said and quickly ended the call.

"Did things go as planned?" Carson Jun who was sitting beside him asked Aston the moment he put down his phone.

"I heard that Peter Jung just left his mansion. We should get ready too," Aston said to the Chairman. Then he started the car and drove towards the address where Garcia Han was being held.

* * *

Still alone in the dark room, Garcia Han noticed that someone was approaching her. While she was wondering if it was Peter Jung, the Prime Minister really showed up with the man whom she talked with before.

Peter Jung actually took the bait? 

"You finally showed up," the Minister of Justice said with a slight smirk. Though she was the captive who was tied up to the chair, she showed no sign of anxiety or fear.

"I can see that you're still the same as before," Peter Jung stated. "Sometimes, we should learn how to lie low, as I did around you all those years." Meeting Garcia Han's fiery gaze, there was a victorious smile on his face.

"You dare to do this to me. Are you fearless or dumb?" Garcia Han shook her head and look at the Prime Minister as if she pitied him. Just as expected, Peter Jung was instantly offended.

"Don't test my patience, Garcia Han. I can easily kill you and even if you happen to leave alive, I can still destroy you in a split second," Peter Jung warned the Minister in a stern voice.

"Didn't you come because you want something from me? You will never know it if you keep on threatening me," the Minister of Justice simply said. "If you know me well, then you should know that I fear nothing."

"Then what about your stepdaughter?" the Prime Minister said and took a seat opposite her. "Do you think I don't know that your stepdaughter is your weakness?"

When Garcia Han's calm face was slowly replaced by a troubled one, Peter Jung smiled. "I pity you. You care about your stepdaughter the most while she is eager to take you down."

Garcia Han clenched her fist when she heard the Prime Minister. "Nicole is naive and kind-hearted. If she knows your true colors, she will never trust you."

"We will find out that later," Peter Jung simply said and his face suddenly turned serious. "Now, tell me. Where are Norina and Shara? I won't tolerate if you try to play any trick."

"Look at you," Garcia Han muttered and let out a chuckle. "You talk about my weakness and act all mighty. But don't you also come here because of this weakness of yours?"

"I already told you not to test my patience," Peter Jung snapped. "You won't be safe if you play any trick but... it won't be just you. Your stepdaughter will follow you soon."

"Stop dragging Nicole into this," Garcia Han spatted and glared at Peter Jung. "Don't you also care about your son? Do you think he will forgive you if you do anything to Nicole?"

"Shut up!" Peter Jung growled. "I will deal with my son. It's none of your business. Just give me the address."

Garcia Han narrowed her eyes at her wristwatch before she turned to Peter Jung. "How can I trust you?"

"Do you have any other choice?" Peter Jung sneered and added, "It's not like Carson Jun is here to save you."

Garcia Han remained quiet as if she was giving a thought. Then she said, "Why would I help you? You're the one who killed my brother."

Her words made the Prime Minister's eyes grew wide! She knew everything?!

"Why?" she asked when she saw his reaction. "Do you think that I know nothing?" She let out mocking laughter but her face suddenly turned darkened all at once. "I already know that you and Colin Park are the ones who hired those men and kill my brother.

"All these years, you worked together and made me believed that it was the doing of Zachary Yang. It must be fun to fool me, right?"

"You knew and feigned ignorance?" Peter Jung asked but there was a sneer on his face. Then he shook his head. "This is why I'm always careful when dealing with you, Garcia Han. You always do things to surprise me."

"It's not just that," Garcia Han uttered. "I also know how you killed Ethan Min to cover up your crimes. You frame him as a traitor and disguised his death as a suicide.

"However, you're still not satisfied with it and also killed Zachary Yang. You also disguised that as a natural illness!"

Despite hearing what Garcia Han said, Peter Jung simply smiled. "Twenty years ago, I don't make the wrong choice when I chose you to be used as a weapon to target the Yang's. You're indeed smart despite your roots."

The Prime Minister rose from his seat and looked down at Garcia Han. "You're right. I kill both Ethan Min and Zachary Yang.

"You already have an idea of how I kill Zachary Yang, right? And in Ethan Min's case, it will be the same as your case. It wasn't my intention to kill you but... too bad that you know too much, you will have to carry those secrets to your grave."

When Garcia Han narrowed her eyes at her wristwatch again for the second time, there was a subtle smile on her lips. The Prime Minister noticed this and it made him stunned.

"You smiled? Have you gone crazy?" He was talking about how she won't be able to leave alive and... she smiled?!

Garcia Han simply shook her head. "You're the one who will go crazy soon." She glanced at the door and muttered, "You're doomed, Peter Jung."

Peter Jung dumbfoundedly shifted his gaze to the door and noticed some men rushing inside with guns! What's more, each one of them was pointing their guns at him!

Weren't his men on duty outside? Where were they?! When he slowly shifted his gaze back to the Minister of Justice, he noticed the victorious smile on her face.

It's a trap! 

What's the use of realizing it now? It's too late!

"We're the police! You're surrounded!"

The moment two police officers rushed forward and hold him in both arms, the Prime Minister turned to Garcia Han with fiery eyes. "Garcia Han! How dare you fool me! You will pay for this!"

"I'm the Prime Minister of this country! To arrest me, don't you know that you need the approval of the assembly and the President? How dare you touch me!" Peter Jung shouted as he tried to break free from the grip of the two police officers.

"That is already taken care of."

Peter Jung darted his eyes to the door again when he heard a familiar voice. The one who walked inside was none other than Richard Ryu, the Commissioner General of Police Forces who was also the father of Aston's friend, Liam Ryu.....
