The Villain's Wife

23

Meanwhile, Kai was back in his office. After being forcibly chased out of Highlights, Kai was feeling angry and he didn't want to return home when he was in such a foul mood. The first thing he did when he arrived in the office was to get himself a glass of whisky. He really needed another drink.

He opened his laptop and began to research about Jennie Facci-Kim. It wasn't long before his laptop screen was littered with numerous articles about Jennie, the talk shows she participated before, magazines she appeared on and interviews she had given. There was plenty of information about this woman. He downed another glass of whisky. His brows furrowed, jaws clenched.

Jennie Facci-Kim.

Why didn't they discover this sooner?

Was this the reason why Jennie seemed so fearless now?

Kai swallowed his frustrations as he continued to read up about Jennie. In Europe, Jennie was considered an iron woman who had been steadily growing her conglomerate though numerous acquisitions in Europe and the US. Under Jennie, the Facci Group diversified their business and entered into various industries such as energy, construction and retail.

What Kai hated the most was the fact that the woman had been playing them all this while. At the time of the reading of Old Madam Kim's Will, everyone thought that Ruby Jane was a nobody. They even thought that they could get Ruby Jane to part with the properties that she inherited from Old Madam Kim with just a few million dollars. But at that time, Ruby Jane acted like a profiteer and had asked for an exorbitant amount of money in exchange for letting go of those properties. It had made her look as if she was in need of money.

He only just discovered that she probably had more money in her bank account than the combined wealth of both Kim family! Jennie treated them like a fu*king clown! She must have been mocking them inside when they threw her those pathetic offers during the reading! Kai let out a bitter laugh when he realized their foolishness.

Then another article caught his attention. Failed engagement? Jennie was engaged? Kai read through the article in detail and discovered that Jennie had recently acquired another group of companies in the Far East. Could this be the reason why she is here in Korea?

Kai's thoughts were interrupted when his phone rang. He frowned when he saw that it was Nancy who was calling. Kai was contemplating that possibility that the Kim family had already found out about Ruby Jane's other identity and how they might try to scheme against her once again. As Kai thought about this rationally, he realized that they couldn't afford to offend Jennie or her friends right now.

It seemed like Jennie had powerful connections and Mr. Martin had also warned him that offending Jennie would be a death sentence to his business. He was still in need of investors ah. A chill ran down Kai's spine as he suddenly thought of what happened seven years ago. 'What if Jennie decides to retaliate against everyone who wronged her before? My wife is currently pregnant... what if...'

Kai quickly shook off these thoughts. Even though Jennie had become successful, she seemed to be keeping a low profile. Since life was going well for her now, surely she wouldn't bear a grudge and be petty about what happened seven years ago right?

"Nancy?" Kai answered lovingly. "I am still at the office but I am about to head back home soon... Alright. Just go to sleep first, I know you are tired. Alright... I love you too." After the call ended, Kai continued to be fixated on the information about Jennie and he poured through articles after articles.

Jennie's name was big in Europe but A.R Mall and Boutique was on the brink of bankruptcy in Korea. This could mean that Jennie's footing in this country is not yet established. Jennie would pose a threat to him and his family if she manages to establish herself in this country. If only he could do something and prevent Jennie from establishing her name in this country then...
