The Villain's Wife

47

Jennie watched as Kai carried Nancy away with an unfathomable expression on his face. To be honest, Jennie did not foresee that Nancy would try to stop her after she ended their confrontation. She also definitely didn't foresee that Nancy would lose her balance and fall into the pool in an attempt to stop her. After all, Nancy was pregnant and Jennie expected her to exercise some caution.

However, since the opportunity already presented itself, Jennie wasn't going to be polite to Nancy. She would send her to her grave which she had painstakingly dug herself.

Jennie then turned her gaze towards Chaerin who was standing still, seemingly in shock. It wasn't long before Chaerin's face morphed into a scowl and she her hands balled into fists. Then she glared at Jennie before storming out of the venue to follow after Nancy and Kai.

After the trio left, Jennie roamed her eyes around and her gaze swept past all the people who had witnessed what happened earlier. Some of them were staring at her, as if judging her. But Jennie did not care about their opinions of her, even if she was labelled 'ruthless' or 'vicious' by them. Because she really was.

Despite what happened tonight, Jennie was still expecting some businessmen to call to schedule a meeting with her. After all, she might be vicious but they all knew that she was very capable. Then Jennie turned her gaze towards the pool, its surface was now calm.

Jennie lost herself in her thoughts as she gazed down at the pool. Actually before coming to this Bulgari cocktail party, she somehow knew that a confrontation was inevitable. So she prepared herself to take advantage of every opportunity that would present itself. And once again... her mind won.

Then Jennie began to recall the events that happened tonight which set in motion her revenge against Chaerin and her Lee family.

'Shut the door to catch the thief' This was the strategy that Jennie was employing tonight against the Lee family.

Chaerin had been so prideful only because she knew she had the Lee family behind her. The Lee family was formidable because of its connections with some well-known criminal groups in Asia. So, before she could get to Chaerin, she would need to cut off the support of the Lee family behind Chaerin. This might sound easy but it had taken Jennie years to plan her course of actions against them.

The Lee family had been thriving from the illegal money lending business for years now. They would target vulnerable people looking for a quick loan and then trap them by doubling if not tripling the interest. This provided a steady source of income for the Tang family.

Naturally, in this line of business, they would meet people who couldn't afford to pay them back. So when this happens, the Lee family would roped their debtors into doing illegal things for them as a form of repayment.

The Lee family's illegal empire ran deep, so deep that certain prominent personalities in the police force were also involved. Their pockets were filled by the Lee family and in turn, they would help to cover up for their crimes. Because of the police force's involvement, bringing down the Lee family became a little more tricky.

However, two years ago, she found an opening to break into those the Lee family's perfect empire. She found someone that the Lee family owed. It was a debt so big that Jennie was sure they would not be able to repay it once news of what they did were exposed to the world. No matter how rich they were now, all that wouldn't matter in the end.

Jennie was not the type who would scheme against an innocent. She also didn't like to make use of an innocent person in her schemes. But to deal with the Lee family, Jennie had to revive something or rather someone from the past. She had given that person a purpose, one that also aligned with her own goals. Or as most people know it as 'borrow a corpse to resurrect the soul'. This was what happened literally when Jennie chose to deal with Zico.
