Chapter 506 - Pervert girl is finally back (1/2)
That night, in a matter of a few hours, a chaos occurred within the Zuzuki Corporation. The topic of the mistress and second daughter of the Zuzuki Corporation's CEO being investigated for attempted murder took over every news headline. The news also revealed that the mother and daughter attempted to murder the real heiress and that they were the cause of the chairman, old man Zuzuki's, plummeting health. Investigations revealed that the mother and daughter duo bribed nurses to manipulate old man Zuzuki's treatment.
Every crime Hinari's stepmother had done in the past and now - the properties and possessions she acquired illegally, her shady dealings, and her link to the death of Hinari's mother - were all revealed in national television like an endless doc.u.mentary, as if it was an orchestrated movie. They were even dubbed as 'Cinderella's evil stepmother and stepsister' by netizens in a matter of hours.
This revelation shook the country but it didn't end there. Prior to the shocking news about these respected mother and daughter, the Zuzuki Corporation's shares suddenly dropped beyond saving. This almost made Hinari's father go insane. He knew that just the news about his wife and daughter wouldn't have caused a problem this severe and he was right. They found out that a giant company, a single person, was behind it and they had no idea why.
The mother and daughter were mobbed by reporters on their way to the police station. The board members and executives pressured Hinari's father to the extreme. Everything happened in flash. Everyone was shocked, most especially the three Zuzuki family members. They didn't even have the chance to digest what was going on.
While the remaining members of the Zuzuki family- Hinari and her grandfather- were sleeping soundly, the other three had been thrown to hell in utter surprise, with no way out.
…
The next morning…
As the brilliant sun rays cascaded through the white curtains, Hinari's lashes finally flickered. Her eyes slowly opened. The light was bright, blinding her so she shut her eyes again.
After some moment her eyes opened again. She stared at the ceiling for a while, opening and closing her eyes as she yawned until she felt something heavy wrapped around her stomach. When Hinari turned her head to the right, her eyes circled.
”B-beauty?” when she saw her beauty's dreamy and gorgeous face, Hinari finally remembered everything that happened last night and her sleeping nerves all awakened at once. Her heart tightened as last night's scenario came flashing back in her head like it just happened a moment ago.
The first thing Hinari did was pinch her own cheeks. When she felt pain, she looked at Zaki again. She raised her hand to touch him but she was hesitant. She seemed to be scared to touch him for fear that he might disappear, that this was just a dream and illusion, or maybe that she did die and suddenly woke up in heaven.
