Chapter 309 Intricate Plots (1/2)

Kay listened attentively as Ramona began her story.

”My name is Reimonna Sheng Xue, and I was the wife of Sheng Pihua. Our marriage was a happy one. At first. Then he just got so busy, especially after Kyle was born. Then ... then I heard he had a mistress,” she said, her eyes looking into the distance.

”Sheng Xian was the one that told me about that, and even where they would meet up. I went to confront him, bringing Kyle along. But ...” she sighed, ”He had already left. All over the bedroom ... there ... well, there were things. His things were still there. It was so obvious what had happened in the room.”

Kay was puzzled when she heard all of this.

If Pihua was having an affair, why was he so devastated over her supposed death? Also, he was still unmarried now. Wouldn't he have married his mistress the moment the mourning period was over? And what about the fire? What happened then? How did it happen?

Although she was itching to know the whole story, she reigned in her curiosity and impatience. So, she waited patiently as Ramona continued.

”I thought that was the last of it but no,” she said, her face reflecting intense sadness, ”When I tried to go out of the bedroom, I found it locked. Then his voice came from beyond the door, laughing while saying goodbye.”

”I didn't understand what he meant at first. I thought it was a normal goodbye. Until I smelled the smoke,” Ramona's voice hitched, ”I managed to escape, somehow. I have been hiding with Kyle ever since then.”

Kay was getting more of a headache listening to this.

The house certainly did burn down, but there had been two charred bodies found. A woman and a child. They identified the female corpse as Sheng Xue, as there was the gold bracelet that had been a gift to her from Pihua on their wedding anniversary.

There was too much plot going on. Obviously, the couple had been the victim of a very intricate plot to get Kyle out of the way. The CEO's chair was in danger. But why was Sheng Xian looking for Kyle when it was obvious that they didn't want to be found or even be involved in the fight for the chair?

Kay shook her head.

That was a mystery to be solved in another time. For now, Little Kyle's safety was of paramount importance.

”Why would Sheng Xian want Kyle then?” Kay asked.

”For the succession, of course,” Ramona answered.

”But the Sheng believes that you and Kyle died in the fire,” Kay pointed out.

Ramona looked at her in shock, ”Died? Us? But we didn't. I don't understand.”

Since she ran, she never looked at newspapers or kept up with what was happening with the Shengs. She had felt so hurt by the betrayal of her husband that she cut everything off. Even going to another state to cover her tracks.
