Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 2)

299

Just the thought of Jennie's reaction when he had a flu or migraine made Lisa nod his head obediently. "Regarding Johnny, don't worry about calling the police."

Jisoo looked at the dazed Johnny who was sitting on the floor and had no intention to step on him any further. Instead, he hurried ahead of Lisa to look for a doctor.

Luckily, it was just a light external injury. All it needed was a bandage and it was fine. However, Jennie was terrified. She immediately rushed to the hospital, ran out of the car without even putting on a disguise and questioned the reception desk about Lisa's whereabouts.

Luckily, Lisa knew her well enough. He was already waiting on the first floor as he asked Jisoo to bring her over.

"Was that...Jennie?"

"I think so. And the person talking to her appears to be President Manoban."

The nurses noticed the couple and secretly pulled out their phones to take photos.

Jennie didn't have time to care about them. She simply ran up to Lisa and asked, "Where are you hurt?"

"My clothes are thick. I only lost a layer of skin," Lisa replied.

"I still want to see it."

In order not to be surrounded by onlookers, Lisa led Jennie into a quiet hospital room, sat down on the bed and removed his jacket. He then pulled up his business shirt, "It's really just a small injury."

Lisa's left waist was covered in bandages. Although a little bit of blood had seeped through, it was indeed just a small injury. Jennie breathed a sigh of relief before leaning over and helping Lisa put his clothes back on, "Did you know, you scared the hell out of me?"

"Everything's fine now," Lisa reached out his hand and pulled Jennie into his embrace as he comforted her.

"What exactly happened?"

Lisa sat up straight. Just as he was about to explain the complicated situation that had happened earlier, Jisoo suddenly came knocking on the door, "President, Chairman Suh has just passed away."

Lisa immediately stood up, pulled open the door and looked at Jisoo.

Jisoo explained, "It turns out, he not only had gastric cancer, but also a stroke."

"He is, after all, an old friend of second uncle's. Hon, let's go up and have a look," Lisa turned around and said to Jennie. No matter how many grudges they held against each other, nothing was more important than respecting the dead.

Jennie nodded her head as she hurried to Lisa's side. The couple returned to Old Man Suh's hospital room together. As they entered, the atmosphere was filled with grief.

At this moment, Johnny still wanted to run up and grab onto Lisa's collar. But, the bodyguards quickly held him back, "Lisa, are you satisfied? My father is dead! Aren't you happy?"

Jennie looked at Johnny's fierce expression. She opened her eyes wide and asked, "What is there for us to be happy about? Aren't you the one that wanted him dead?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Did you know that your father had gastric cancer?" Jennie questioned. "If you didn't want him dead then why did you muck around all day, flirting with girls and not doing any serious work? You obviously knew he had no one to assist him, yet you never withheld your responsibility as a son and instead went around causing trouble, stimulating his emotions. If your actions weren't done because you want him dead, then why did you do them?"

"Why do you think your father handed Star King to Lisa? It's because he knew his son wouldn't be able to handle the responsibility of managing Star King. He didn't want all his hard work to be completely destroyed."

"You just wait and see. Without your father, who would take a second glance at you?"

Jennie's tone was strong, but all she said was the truth. Her words felt like silver needles, stabbing one at a time into his heart.

Of course, there was another reason for her angered reaction: Lisa was injured out of nowhere. If he didn't have such a swift reaction, there may have been another body lying in a hospital bed at the moment.

Johnny had no way of refuting against Jennie. He simply leaned against the hospital bed and took a few last glances at his father. Afterwards, he walked solemnly towards Lisa and declared, "I will definitely retrieve Star King from your hands and I will do it legitimately in front of everyone."

"I'll wait for you." After speaking, Lisa gave a slight bow towards Father Suh's body and turned to leave with Jennie.

On the way home, Lisa looked at the woman beside him and couldn't help but rub her shoulders, "Originally, I was supposed to give you a pleasant surprise today, instead, I ended up giving you a fright."

"Did you really buy Star King?"

"I acquired the Suh Family's shares, so I am now the biggest shareholder," Lisa did not deny. "You own 15% as shared assets."

"You know I don't understand this stuff," Jennie didn't care.

"But, from what I remember, Star King once banned you."

This was one of the main reasons Lisa decided to acquire the shares. As long as he could wipe away one of Jennie's unhappy memories, it was money well spent.

Jennie leaned against Lisa's body, trying hard not to use too much force. Even though his injury was small, she was still careful.

...

Late at night. Inside the suburbs stood a quiet house and inside the damp living room sat a few computers. The staff sitting in front of the computers had an expression of concern.

"After all the energy we wasted to collect information, Lisa ended up being one step ahead of us by announcing his relationship with Jennie. With the addition of Johnny's incident, the public is currently siding with Jennie. We are not in a position to release bad news about her. Even if we release something, Manoban Entertainment will immediately cover it up."

"Editor Lin, what should we do? We already missed our timing..."

"Just because he announced they are in a relationship, doesn't mean they are married!" Editor Lin waved his hand, stopping the others from saying another word, "Who do you think Lisa is? He is the CEO of Manoban Entertainment. How long can he focus his interests on the one person?"

"Have a look at the male celebrities that change women every few of days. Don't tell me Lisa is any different from that..."

"But, how does that relate to us?"

"He's simply playing with her for a few days. After he gets bored, he will get rid of her. We just have to wait patiently. Who told us to miss our timing?" Lin Chong sighed. "Take advantage of this time to follow another story."

As the company had been endlessly spending money with no income, it was currently operating under a loss.

Following another story?

What other story at the moment could beat the story of Lisa announcing his relationship with Jennie? While everyone was worried about Jennie's story, a secret guest came to visit Lin Chong.

He didn't know how the man managed to find him. All he knew was, inside the dark car, the man handed him a cheque, "I know you are the reporters Minho was previously turning the entire Beijing inside out to find. I've come to ask for a favor."

Lin Chong saw the numbers on the cheque under the dim lighting and asked, "What favor?"

"I want to take over Manoban Entertainment. So, I hope you can assist me. The reason is simple, your trailing skills are indeed impressive and I know you won't betray me because of Mo Ting."
