The Villain's Wife

June 16th, Thursday - 2nd Day

After Lisa bid goodbye to Jennie, he immediately made his way to his Bentley which was waiting for him just outside of the apartment building.

"What do I have for today," he asked before he loosened his tie.

"You have three meetings today. Your first meeting is with Miss Alessandra Mu, the heiress of Scarlet City, to finalize the details of the fundraiser next month. Then you have a meeting at 1pm with our board of directors. The last meeting is with the planning department regarding the construction of our banks in Singapore."

"Hmmm... alright. Anything else?"

"I..." Secretary Kang hesitated. "We encountered a little problem when we tried to dig up about what happened to Miss Kim and her mother seven years ago. It seems that all the doctors and nurses that were on call that night who tended to Miss Kim and her mother had all resigned within a month. We will need some more time to locate at least some of them."

Lisa instantly clenched his jaws when he heard his secretary's report. "And we did not know this before because?"

"Previously the focus of our investigation was from the time that Miss Kim was admitted to the mental institute. We looked into everyone who had talked to her, anyone who had any conversations with Miss Kim, hoping that one of them could lead us to the people who helped her to escape. So we didn't spend our time and resources to investigate what happened at the hospital, right after the car accident."

"Who owns that hospital?"

"The Mu family."

"As in the Mu family who owns Scarlet City?" Lisa asked.

"Yes, president."

Lisa nodded in contemplation.

"I also found out something else. After finding out that the Mu family owns the hospital, I went to check if anyone in Kim's family might be close to anyone from the Mu family. I discovered that the Madam of Kim family, Mr. Kai's mother, Lina Kim is the childhood friend of the current Madam of the Mu family. They are still keeping contact and appear to be quite close."

"Continue investigating," Lisa said. "Investigate more into the accident... something is off about this." Now that Lisa thought about it, he realized that his investigations before had been lacking. He had been so fixated on finding Jennie's after her disappearance from the mental institute that his investigations were primarily focused on what happened in the mental institute during Jennie's stay there. It did not occur to him to investigate more into the events that happened before that.

Though he did have someone to investigate the accident, it was not a thorough investigation as he thought that it was irrelevant to Jennie's disappearance. For Lisa, the biggest suspect in Jennie's disappearance was the Kim family. At that point in time, he failed to consider other possible suspects like the Kim family or the Mu family.

"By the way, this Alessandra Mu that I have an appointment with... is she someone important from the Mu family?" he asked his secretary.

Secretary Kang eyed him before he answered, "The family has two heiresses. The eldest daughter is called Alexandra Mu and she is the current CEO of Scarlet City. The second daughter is called Alessandra Mu, a well-known performer, singer and dancer who had years of training abroad. You have already met her twice before. She was the one who proposed this fundraiser to her father." Inwardly, Secretary Kang was laughing to himself. This Alessandra Mu had been carrying a torch for President Manoban for years now. However, the president does not even remember her. As expected of someone whose heart already belonged to the mighty Miss Kim.
