The CEO's Beloved Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 36

After arranging for people to keep an eye on the Lee family and then digging into their history for information, Taehyung had gotten a good grasp on the Lee family. In the process, he'd discovered Many of their schemes against the Kim family, which led to his prompt divorce with Nancy.

Of course, Nancy didn't want to divorce, but there was nothing she could about it. The evidence Taehyung had pulled out was concrete. She'd professed her love to her one more time before she was kicked out.

Taehyung's people had reported that there were two other groups watching the Lee family. It took hardly any effort to identify the two groups as one belonging to Jennie, and the other belonging to Lisa.

Ever since Jennie disclosed her relationship with Lisa to the public and specifically told her brother that she acknowledged Lisa, Taehyung had been keeping the actor in his mind.

Seeing that Lisa was also monitoring the Lee family, Taehyung decided to lend her a hand by sharing a considerable sum of information with her.

With this, she had allowed Lisa to join in on their game.

When Taehyung told Jennie about it, she wasn't surprised. She'd known since her past life that Lisa held some influence of his own. Sunmi had involved her in her schemes too, so it was only natural for her to make a move.

Under the threat of these three parties, the Lee family felt like they would collapse at any given moment. The tension was high.

.....

The head of the Lee family was Nancy's father. His only regret in life was that he had two daughters, but no sons. However, his daughters were both brilliant, so he had no qualms about pampering them until they had become spoilt.

Nancy seemed like a gentle Woman, but she was actually very sly, narrow-minded, and two-faced. Sunmi, on the other hand, was a typical example of overbearing and conceited. She was the type to believe that as long as she wanted something, she would get it.

The sisters were somewhat intelligent and particularly ambitious, hating the Kim family and wanting the Lee family to lord over Capital City.

Nancy had intended to take control of the Kim family after she married Taehyung, but his complete disregard of her had gone out of her expectations. Therefore, she'd gained little of value from the marriage, and this fact made her feel very unhappy.

Then, to make matters worse, he divorced her before she could even make a move. She had been caught off-guard and angered beyond words, causing her entire person to be shrouded in a feeling of gloom.

The whole Lee family was gathered in Father Lee's study. Nancy was sullen, and Sunmi wasn't looking so good either. The two had always been rivals, and the latter had assumed that she would be able to monopolize the Lee family after her sister married.

However, reality proved otherwise. Nancy was back, and the Lee family's ambitions had been exposed. They had been forced to suffer a double loss after trying to trick their powerful opponent.

"Sister, what did I tell you? I warned you before that Taehyung was hard to deal with, but you married him anyway, and what did you get out of it? Nothing but bad rumors! You can't stay in Capital City anymore, so how about you go abroad for a while? Don't worry, the family still has me."

Sunmi taunted without restraint. Having grown up quarreling with her sister, she didn't even care that their parents were beside her.

"Well, my little sister, isn't it wrong of you to kick me while I'm down? If it weren't for you causing Jennie trouble because of that Woman, would she have sent people to investigate me? How stupid!"

Nancy wasn't a pushover either. She'd inquired into the whole incident and learned a few things, which led her to believe that it was all her lovesick sister's fault.

"Stupid? Who's more stupid, huh? You were in the Kim family for so Many years, and yet you couldn't get anything out of it. Instead, you got kicked out. So damn embarrassing—" Sunmi started to retort, but Father Lee cut in before she could finish.

"Enough. What are the two of you still quarreling about? Right now, the Kim family regards us as their enemy. We need to discuss the countermeasures as soon as possible," he said, obviously worried.

"Heh. The Kim family? I think Jennie is to blame for everything, she's always acting like the Kim family is oh-so-great or something! Sister, didn't you say that she and Lisa were on bad terms? Then why did she disclose their relationship? Did you misinterpret their relationship?" Sunmi looked worried.

"Who said she can't disclose their relationship if they're on bad terms? You know about her family rule. Just look at Jennie and Lisa. Does it look like they're in love? I bet they must've made some kind of marriage contract too."

Nancy was confident in her analysis. Jennie was icy-cold, and what Lisa liked was probably her money. The prospect of it being love was absolutely hilarious.

"Then let's expose the true nature of their relationship, and let everyone see what a hypocritical Woman Jennie is. Isn't the majority of the public on the Kim family's side right now? Once we expose this, I doubt the public would still be so partial to them!"

A cruel glint flashed in Sunmi's eyes. Everything she'd done was aimed more at Jennie than the Kim family itself. Sunmi, who regarded Jennie as a rival in love, loathed her.

"But we don't have any evidence," their mother said hesitantly. She was the timid of the Lee family members.

"So what? The media doesn't require evidence. It'll be enough to get the scandal out. It wouldn't matter, even if it was fake. I'd like to see how the Kim family is going to explain this one!"

After being in the entertainment industry for so long, Sunmi had seen Many instances of waves rising without wind. The media was a weapon that anyone could use, and it all came down to who used it best.

The other Lee family members nodded their heads in agreement. They knew that if they didn't do something now, it would be a matter of time before the Kim family eliminated them.

The Kim family had acted too fast, catching them off-guard. It was not only the common citizens watching them anymore. The entire upper-class society was looking down on the Lee family, and there were even a few people waiting eagerly to pounce on them while they were down. On top of that, the family had also noticed that their company was being acquired by some unknown party.

In other words, they were facing a crisis from every side and would be eliminated if they didn't do something about it.
