The Villain's Wife

45

"Nancy... calm yourself," Kai spoke at a volume that only Nancy could hear. However, his words didn't yield the effect that he was hoping to see. Instead, his words only fueled Nancy's anger. 'Why isn't Kai cooperating? He used to pamper me and give me whatever I wanted. Is it because...'

Nancy's lips seemed to tremble as she thought about the time that Kai did not answer her calls again. Was it really because of Ruby Jane?

At the same time, Chaerin was beginning to realize that her daughter's thoughts might be running wild and whatever they are, they must be crazy.

Chaerin knew that Ruby Jane was already married to Lisa but Nancy didn't. Chaerin felt that there was no reason for Ruby Jane to seduce Kai and risk jeopardizing her marriage to someone as powerful as Lisa. After what happened at their last meeting, she would never dare to underestimate Ruby Jane again. She knew that Ruby Jane had ambitions and now she saw for herself how scheming Ruby Jane's mind was.

With Ruby Jane's current status, it would be very easy for her to plot against Kim Industries, Nancy and even Kai. Of course, this does not mean that she would just allow Ruby Jane's existence to continue threatening their everyday lives.

Armed with Ruby Jane's scandalous photos from the past, Chaerin was already planning to visit Lisa next week to have a private conversation with him about Ruby Jane's past. She thought that this would be able to convince the man to leave Ruby Jane.

Moreover, with the Lee family's connections in the underworld, she could get some people from the underworld to deal with Jennie if she wanted to. But before that, Chaerin was planning to get the help of her nephew, Zico, to be part of her future plans against Jennie. First, they would try to get Jennie to give back the properties in Korea that she inherited from the late Old Master Kim.

As Chaerin thought about Kim Industries, she let out a sigh of relief. Won-Young had told her that the company would be seeing better days soon. That was because Kim industries managed to secure a very big loan from an established and reputable company in Europe which had plans to branch out in the Far East. More importantly, the shareholders in the company didn't have a problem with the source of the loan and had approved it.

Chaerin thought about how their family would see better days as well once the company stabilizes and passes this current financial crisis. Then, they need not be afraid of Lisa when that day comes.

Chaerin concluded that tonight was not the time to have a confrontation with Ruby Jane. Moreover, their purpose for being here was to gather investors for Nancy's fashion brand and build connections with other designers.

Too bad her own daughter did not know any better.

Nancy tightened her grip on Kai's arms. She told herself that she needed to stay calm and not act carelessly even though she was really mad and green with jealousy. Above all, she had to maintain her image. So she gave Jennie a smile before pouting at Kai.

"But I really like it..." She let out a playful sigh and continue to pout, looking at Kai with pleading eyes. "Kai..."

In Nancy's mind, she strongly believed that Jennie couldn't have been invited here based on her own merit and abilities. This only meant that Jennie must have found a rich sponsor who agreed to bring her along to this party. Either way, she would not let go of this chance to embarrass her.

"Please?" she smiled.

"Well... Maybe we could buy something similar from the store itself," Kai said helplessly before looking at Jennie. "Miss Kim, may I know where you got that jewelry? I am planning to buy something similar for my wife."

Nancy immediately beamed when she heard Kai's words. 'As expected, he still pampers her the most in the end.'

"This piece is not in the market," Jennie answered.
