Reborn: The Return of the Villainous Mr. Liu-Chapter 1018: A headless chicken

"Ah, I am so excited~" Wang Xia chuckled in the green room. "I look so beautiful in this dress! Indeed, Ren Alix is something else. At first, I was skeptical but she proved herself."

Her makeup artist smiled. "Yes, Mam. There is no way that you wouldn't be the highlight of today's show."

"Let's go. The show must be starting anytime soon-"

Wang Xia took one step forward when her gaze fell onto her dress flowing near her feet.

"What is that?"

The artist immediately took a look and her eyes widened in horror. "This is…This is the worst, Mam! We need to call Miss. Ren right away!"

An air of confrontation was riling up in the room as Wang Tianhui stood before Alix with a face reddened with furious veins popping on his forehead. His hand trembled as it pointed towards his daughter, who was shedding helpless tears.

"Answer me, Miss. Ren Alix! What the hell is this? The dress Xia is wearing is getting torn off and disintegrated at places. It is fortunate that she caught this in time but is it the kind of dress you were going to make her wear and walk on the stage? This is ridiculous!"

Alix stared at the loose seams of the dress fabric getting twisted and torn off at some places.

"Imagine the dress tearing off and contracting like that on the stage. My daughter would have become a joke in front of everybody!"

Wang Xia cried. "Dad, what am I supposed to do now? This was my main outfit for the day! If I am not able to participate in today's show then how would I secure my spot in the fashion industry?"

Wang Tianhui gritted his teeth. "Can you answer her, Miss. Ren!"

Alix pressed her lips, clutching the dress in her hand. "Somebody has sabotaged my designs. There is no way that the fabrics were like this. I had checked it myself."

She narrowed her eyes at her designer team and asked, "What is going on here?"

Zhong De showed a panicked expression. "We have no idea, Miss. Ren. The dresses were fine until now. I don't know why they are curling up like that."

The other two designers were also clueless and promptly lowered their gazes.

"We have no idea either, Mam."

Wang Tianhui angrily laughed. "This is your team, Miss. Ren? You have ruined everything for us!"

"I will figure something out-"

"And do we have time for that?" He snapped.

Wang Xia gasped. "D-Dad! What about…What if we go to Ren Mui for help?"

Alix's eyes widened. "My sister? No, no, Miss. Wang! She won't be able to help you."

She glared at her tearfully. "Shut up! Isn't she a part of this show too? And she was the previous CEO of your company. I am sure she will help us!"

"Miss. Wang, please calm down," Alix was stressed. "I am sure I have some backup at the warehouse. We will still be able to make it."

"You still have the nerve to defend yourself? You almost caused a fashion disaster and if I had been exposed on the stage…How about you wear your own damn stinky dresses!"

Wang Tianhui said, "You don't want us to go to her because you treat her as your rival, right? It will be over for you if Xia becomes your sister's model. But you have left us with no choice! You have disappointed us, Miss. Ren!"

He then walked towards Jin, who was leaning against a wall at the corner, quietly watching the tension unfolding.

"Mr. Liu. I cannot believe you would sponsor a crass woman like her. You are the one who introduced-"

His next words failed to come out as Jin's shadow threateningly consumed him. His black eyes right now were the literal definition of ice.

"Who are you calling crass?" He asked in an extremely quiet but measured voice.

Wang Tianhui wanted to speak up but he felt as if prickly thorns grew all over his throat.

Jin leaned very slowly, whispering in his ear.

"Complain all you want but do not, I repeat, do not use any derogatory words against her. Forget Alix or Mui, I will make it impossible for your daughter to ever step foot in this industry."

Wang Tianhui clenched his jaw.

"Mr. Liu, I think you are forgetting who I am."

"You shouldn't forget who I AM, Mr. Wang. It is the businessmen who are funding your stinky political agendas. And who am I? A businessman too. A very powerful one at that. One word from the Liu Corps CEO and you will be running around like a headless chicken. I control the business space here and I can isolate you however I want," he coldly smiled.

Wang Tianhui said nothing for a long moment but his eyes burned with deep resentment.

"Let's see how long you can hold that arrogant attitude for, Mr. Liu, especially after today. After the disaster Miss. Ren Alix has caused - who YOU are sponsoring, I wonder who will be the headless chicken."

"Let's go find Ren Mui, Xia. We are done here."

Wang Xia threw nasty looks at Alix as she passed by her.

"You will pay for this."

"Miss. Wang, Miss. Wang, please don't go! Please give me a chance!"

Alix glared at the designers. "What are you three doing here and standing like statues? I want answers. Go check the warehouses right now! And don't come back until you bring me a damn solution!"

"Y-Yes, Miss. Ren!"

As silence prevailed, Alix collapsed back on her chair.

"Oh God, how do Chyou do this on a daily basis?"

"Do what?"

"Acting. Drama. Fake tears. I cannot believe she made her career out of this. Should I salute her?"

He shrugged.

"By the way," Alix frowned, "What were you whispering to that father? His face suddenly went pale."

Though Jin knew that Alix would hardly be bothered with being called crass, he refrained himself from revealing himself.

"Something about headless chickens."

"Oh my. Does he think that I am like a headless chicken right now?"

He hummed. "Something along those lines."

Alix sneered. "Ah. He is so, so far from the truth that I almost pity him."

"Right now, he is pitying you."

"Yeah and we will see who pities who in the end~"
