My Scheming Little Devil-Chapter 2001: Decision

So in the following days, Yiyi both gathered information and attempted to transfer bank deposits abroad, quickly handling the necessary procedures to leave the country. However, she was very cautious and continued attending school to avoid drawing attention.

She checked various news online but found nothing suspicious. Everything seemed relatively calm. Although the political struggle between the two parties continued as usual, there was no sign of any drastic changes.

The entire capital appeared very calm. Citizens attended work as usual, and all institutions operated normally, with no sense of heightened tension in the air.

Yiyi began to doubt whether the Councilman Party faction really intended to strike against the queen at this time. It didn’t seem like there was an atmosphere ready to launch a coup.

However, she continued with her actions, convinced that those classmates leaving was no simple matter. Even if nothing happened now, something would surely happen in the future. Being prepared now would allow her to maintain control over the situation.

After school, Yiyi went to a commercial building to discuss auctioning items with a professional auction agent. Because Madam Aisha lived a simple life, detached from worldly conflicts, and lacked Governor Yun’s favor, the villa contained no valuable items. Since Yiyi was eager for cash, she was inclined to sell quickly, even if meant accepting prices lower than the market value.

Counting the money earned from the sale, she furrowed her brows. It wasn’t much, just enough for them to live one or two years, but should anything significant occur, it would be problematic. She needed to secure more money.

"Once you sign this contract, the money will be yours, Miss!" The agent pushed a contract forward.

Yiyi looked at the numbers on it, hesitating for a long time, as if pondering some troubling matter that kept her from picking up the pen. Finally, she closed her eyes and gritted her teeth.

"I have a few more valuable items I want to auction together." She took out a small, luxurious black textured case with a snap, opened it.

She hadn’t opened this box for a long time.

Inside were several items boxed exquisitely with different construction.

Among them were some luxurious and exquisite jewelry pieces, adorned with lustrous, full gemstones. The design was unique and splendid, clearly the work of a master jeweler, incredibly eye-catching.

There was a relatively larger box, which, when opened, revealed an elegant, dreamlike gown. The texture was gleaming and radiant, of significant value. 𝓯𝙧𝙚𝒆𝙬𝙚𝒃𝙣𝙤𝒗𝓮𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The last item opened caused Yiyi’s eyes to dim slightly as she looked at it with reluctant longing.

It was a remarkably peculiar, intricately crafted physical model; apart from its construction, the material alone was exceptionally rare, more valuable than gold, silver, or diamonds, made from space materials that were one-of-a-kind, a limited edition in the world.

All these were gifts from Ling Kong during their vaguely defined engagement period. Despite everything, he was a romantic man who occasionally sent her gifts like a typical fiancé would.

She had never turned away valuable things, accepting them with a carefree smile, thinking of the profit they could bring if sold in the future, getting excited just at the thought.

But now, facing their auction, she felt an indescribable reluctance.

She even hesitated over whether to exchange them for money.

"At this point, why am I hesitating? Haven’t I already made my decision?" She silently gazed at those items. They were the last remaining connection between the two, and it was time to sever it completely.
