Host, Please Be Honest! What Exactly Are You?

Hulan was going crazy when she thought about how unfair the world truly was.

And it was now and then that Dorian's words echoed in her mind.

[Someone is claiming to be what they aren't. And tonight, your death has been sealed.]

What?!!!

She felt her mind going haywire in dizziness as her pupils dilated heavily.

He... He... Knew.

Hahahahahahaha!

That bastard was cursing her to death but warning her of the Gia family's plans to kill her!

Hulan grabbed the carpet with trembling hands as she felt a wave of regret, hatred, fear, anxiety and countless emotions engulf her entire being.

If she had just listened, then she might've had the chance to flee, right?

Tsk! As expected. Before pride came fall.

Blame her! Blame her for being too prideful to listen to the youngster.

But she didn't listen. And now, she had fallen victim to this b**che's scheme.

So even amidst her fear, how could she not be angry?

Her entire body trembled while gripping the carpet.

And when she finally lifted her face and stared at Pia hatefully, the entire Gia family was taken aback... Especially Pia.

Weren't they the ones who were supposed to be angry?

Why did it seem like it was they, the Gia family, who were scum while she was the innocent one?

.

Old Gia squinted his eyes, releasing his murderous aura towards Hulan, subconsciously making her shower in fear: "So, you are my granddaughter's incompetent nanny?"

Hulan wanted to reply, but her words seemed stuck in her throat. She could only nod her head frighteningly, daring not to thoroughly look at old Gia.

Old Gia looked at her and sneered: "I heard you're a very chatty person. So why don't you speak?"

~Bam!

He tapped his cane hard on the floor, making Hulan's heart jump in fear.

"Well, what's the matter with you? Can't speak now? Cat got your tongue?"

Pia looked at the old man stuffing his chest and hurriedly tried to calm him down: "Father, please... Remember your condition."

Anyone who saw her actions knew that First Lady Pia was indeed a gentle soul. But her actions in Hulan's eyes were that of a scheming lotus.

Hulan looked at the First master with deep-rooted lust in her eyes while also trying to look as pitiful as possible to him.

She was also so blown away by his awesomeness that her envy of Pia was even more radiant than ever.

Heh.

Old Gia saw through her subtle movements and now had a hunch what sort of person this Hulan was.

He scoffed at the thought of her whimsical fantasies.

With his years of experience in this world, what had he not seen?

Such a person was definitely unworthy of looking after his precious Granddaughter!

.

"Father, please, your health. You need to..."

Old Gia raised his hands to silence Pia's concerns before getting up from his grand chair like the overlord he was.

~Thup. Thup. Thup. Thup.

Step by step, the Old Marshall made his way towards the dishevelled Hulan, making her mortified.

He finally stopped beside her and used his cane to raise her chin upwards.

And now, their eyes were locked on each other.

~Gulp.

Hulan swallowed hard when coming into close contact with Old Gia's fierce eyes.

Instantly, time seemed frozen in place.

"So, miss Hulan. After receiving our generous salary, benefits and other perks for your job. Not only did you appreciate your job... but did so at the expense of my precious granddaughter. So, tell me... Do you think that I will ever let you go?"

"Wh-what do you want to do to me?..." Hulan's eyes opened dreadfully while recalling Dorian's words.

Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.

They were going to kill her!

She began inching back while shaking her head in horror as the shadow of death quickly covered her.

Her entire face was now drenched in sweat and tears, enabling her hair to cling onto her face even more.

"No! No! Sir! You can't kill me. Killing is against the law. And you, as a marshall, will be arrested once caught. So-so if you kill me now, all that you've worked for will go down the drain just like that. Sir... I-i-i know that someone vicious might have stimulated you to kill me. But please, don't fall prey to their schemes. You might not know this, but I met a random stranger outside who told me that someone is not who they claim to be. And because of the person, I would end up dying today. At first, I didn't believe it. But now, I do!"

-Freeze-

​ Old Gia paused while looking at Hulan thoughtfully: "You said someone randomly told you that your death is sealed within the Gia household today?"

Could it be the people who caused his granddaughter's trauma?

Upon seeing Old Gia's interest piqued up, a dim torch of hope within her now burned brightly.

(*^*)

Yes! If she could convince them all about the warning that guy gave, then she wouldn't have to die. She felt like she would be a hero for exposing the truth

After all, who knew if this b**ch had secretly planned to kidnap her own daughter just to deal with her?

With that, she desperately inched closer to old Gia with her knees, trying her best to convince him as hard as she could before turning her eyes towards Pia, sending an artifact gaze her way.

.

"Sir! I have no reason to lie to you! That person said that Miss Pia was pretending to be who she wasn't. Yes, sir. Pia is the problem here! She is just a white lotus who has been deceiving you all! She is pushing you to take action while keeping her hands clean from it all. Sir! Because she is jealous of me, she keeps trying to stop the love between the First Master and myself! If anyone should be blamed, it should be Miss Pia!"

[Pia]: "_"

--Silence--

... The room stayed dead silent as everyone listened to the rantings of a mad lady.

Pia was shocked, confused and angered by the turn of events.

She had never been pretending at all. And she sure as hell wasn't any damn white lotus.

Moreover, how come this Hulan had been targeting her husband, and she didn't know about it all this time?

In Hulan's mouth, she was described as a villain who stopped true love between her husband and Hulan. But did this Hulan forget that her husband was a married man?

Hahahhahaha! Ridiculous!

Wei Gia didn't even bother defending himself because it was just too absurd.

Even though he had only seen Hulan's photo from her file, he had never met the lady in person.

So what was the love affair between them?

Wei Gia's face was a man of few words. So unless necessary, he would never bother talking.

The only thing that piqued Wei Gia was that some random stranger had told this whimsical nanny about her death being sealed today in the Gia household.

But the issue was that even with the mistakes Hulan made, they never thought of actually killing her, but making sure that her life was hell instead.

So... Who was going to seal her death?

Who was the person in their home pretending to be what they weren't?

Could it be that the trauma incident was just the beginning of some elaborate scheme by others?

If so, then could it be that the culprits had already initiated the estate and would take action tonight?

Wei Gia and Old Gia's expressions turned grim as they hastily faced the guards, giving out a simple nod to them.

Those who have always been with them were skilled professionals who could also see the issue with Hulan's statement too.

So instantly, they were on the move.

But too bad, the culprit they were looking for was right before their very eyes.

Hahahahahha!

In just a few more minutes, the moon would be just right.

And by then, it will be time!
