The Manipulated Villainess

Yang Group

"Please! Forgive me just this time! I beg you, Miss Yang!" One man in his 50s was kneeling and constantly pleading for mercy in the Chairwoman's office.

The young woman who was the Chairwoman and CEO calmly sat on her chair, going through some files. From the look on her face, one would think that she was peacefully sitting alone in her room. It was like the pleas of the man who was old enough to be her father doesn't even reach her ears!

"Please, I beg you, Miss Yang! I spent all my youth and efforts for this company. You cannot kick me out only because of a single mistake!" The man who was the respected Director of the Yang Group Marketing Team continued to beg on his knees.

Nicole Yang finally put down her pen. She looked at the man with disdain. "Stop making noise here. Didn't you know that I hate noisy place?"

The man immediately continued begging when he realized that he drew the attention of the Ice Queen. "Forgive me just this one time! I promise -"

"Didn't you hear me, Director Lee? I'm tired of your nonsense. Get lost before I call the security to drag you out of this building." Nicole Yang snapped. Her face showed no expression and her gaze were cold like ice!

"You won't want to suffer such humiliation on your last day here, isn't it?" She added.

"Please! My family will be homeless if -"

"Ah! You won't listen." Nicole Yang pressed the button on her desk and men in black suits immediately rushed in. They were her personal security guards.

She pointed at the old Director and command her men, "Throw him out of this building. I don't want to see him a

here again!"

The men immediately grabbed the Director and dragged him out of her office as she ordered. The Chairwoman sat still with an emotionless face despite the constant pleas of the man!

After everyone left her office, Nicole Yang let out a breath which she was holding for a while. She tightly clenched her fist and bang hardly on the table! Then she blankly stared at the floor.

The constant begging and pleas of the man echoed on her ears. It was so hard for her to bear that she covered her ears with both her palms, hoping to stop the sound that tormented her!

Her secretary, Julia Cha immediately entered the office and saw her condition. "Are you okay, Miss Yang?" She worriedly asked her.

Nicole Yang slowly released her palms and placed it on the table. "Call the devil and report that I took care of the thing she told me to do." She muttered.

Julia Cha immediately understands what her superior was saying. "Yes, ma'am." She responded and walked out of the office.

After her secretary left, Nicole Yang takes out a phone from her secret drawer and call someone.

"It's me. The money that I sent you today, give it to Director Lee. Tell him to stay low for a while and move to a safe place with his family after that." She ordered.

"Yes, ma'am." The man on the other line responded.

Nicole Yang put down her phone and approach the window. The rain poured over the beautiful city since morning. She stood still next to the window as if she was fascinated by the mesmerizing view of the city under the rain. But the truth was far from that.

Despite the enchanting view right before her eyes, all she saw was the suffering and pleading of many people that she destroyed! The scenes were vividly rooted in her mind which tortured her every single day!

No matter how much she tried, she could never break free from the invisible chain that controlled her every single move.

Director Lee, whom she just discarded was her loyal follower. But his loyalty and devotion to her always made the devil feel uneasy.

From the past month, the Director started to doubt her behaviour and actions. To tell the truth, he started to become aware of how the devil controlled her. So, the devil ordered her to get rid of him.

She created a trap and he perfectly falls for the trap, which gets him kicked out of the company.

Nicole Yang felt so useless that the feeling choked her and made it harder for her to breath! She placed her hand on her chest and take a deep breath again and again. She was severely traumatized by all the things that she was forced to do!

What had she done wrong to be tormented like this?! She was once a cheerful and happy girl until her father whom she loved the most in the world pass away. He was the one who founded and strengthened the Yang Group.

After that, she was placed under the care of her stepmother, the devil in disguise. She was only 10 years old at that time.

Garcia Han, her stepmother raised her in the cruelest way. If she ever shows affection to something or someone, the devil would crush them right before her eyes! If she made even a single mistake, she would be severely punished!

She was beaten, locked up in the dark all alone and harassed both mentally and physically. It was too much for a 10 years old girl that the fear of the devil was deeply rooted in her!

Her stepmother was a famous politician who might even become the Presidential candidate in the next election.

She cares about her reputation the most; so she never forgets to put up the act of a caring stepmother before the people and the media! The whole country praised her as a woman who wholeheartedly loves her step-daughter! If only they knew the truth!

When Nicole Yang finally finished her studies, Garcia Han let her take over Yang Group as the Chairwoman and CEO. The media also praised her stepmother nonstop for the seemingly selfless decision.

Why did they behave as if the devil gave her own company to her step-daughter? It originally belongs to Nicole Yang anyway!

Despite being the Chairwoman, she was a puppet of Garcia Han. The latter controlled her every move and decision which made her being labelled as a villainess!

Nicole Yang used to wish to break free from her stepmother. She was willing to abandon everything including the Yang Group which her father devoted his whole life to!

But Garcia Han never let her! Even if she ran away, she would send her men to chased her and dragged her back! She needed her to maintain her image as a loving stepmother.

While she was recalling her traumatic past, her phone went off. She approached the table to answer the call. But a single name on the caller ID was enough to make her shudder.

"Mother." She responded with a low voice.

"I heard you took care of that nosy man. Did you do everything as I said?" Garcia Han said from the other line.

"Don't worry. I do everything as you told me to do."

"Great job. Come home for dinner tonight."

Dinner? Home? It was much more like hell for Nicole Yang! Dinner with her stepmother would always give her indigestion.

She only used to call her home for two reasons. One, she wants to order her to do something. Two, she wants to prove that her step-daughter was still at her disposal.

But no matter how much she hated the place called 'home', she would never dare to disobey the devil!

"I understand." Nicole Yang replied and the stepmother ended the call.

Visiting her so-called home was like entering a lion's den for Nicole Yang. She nervously clenched her fingers, assuming about what could happen on tonight's dinner.....
