The Villain's Wife

53

Lina narrowed her eyes at Jennie. How could she miss Jennie's tone that was full of mockery? "Very funny," she sarcastically said. "However, I am raising my son the way I want to. As a mother, protecting him is my job. This is something that you don't understand. After all, you are not a mother yourself," she said calmly.

"You are right." Jennie nodded in response. "You can raise him the way you want to. But, let me ask you this. Right now, right here, at this moment, I can kill you and walk out of Korea in my private jet like a Queen. Without you, your son will be useless. I can attack your son's company and destroyed his marriage in say... a day or two after your death. What do you think will happen to your son then?"

"Can you protect him from your grave?" she added as she tilted her head and gave Lina a smirk. This action reminded the latter of the thing that snakes do before attacking their prey. They lower their head, look at you in their binocular vision, and examine how far you are before suddenly lifting their heads to strike. This unknowingly made Lina shiver inwardly.

And right then and there, she realized... this was not the Ruby Jane she remembered. This person was someone else. However, just who did she think was, Lina? This blatant threat was not something that would work on her. Though Jennie's words made her heart jump, Lina had also grown up in an environment full of hard-hearted people. These words were not enough to make her cower in fear.

"If I don't know any better, I would believe that you are threatening me. I am not very good with threats, Miss Kim. I take things seriously. I will protect my family, no matter what. However, If you kill me now, I am sure you will not walk out of this establishment alive."

"True. But what If... I kill your son now while you are here having coffee with me," Jennie said. Seeing the smile on Lina's face disappear immediately made Jennie laugh. "Ah.... I am just kidding. Miss Yang, I am not planning to kill your son. Wouldn't that be too kind?"

"Jennie Kim... this is my last warning..."

"No, Miss Yang... This is my last warning. Stay away from me, or watch your family crumble." With this, Jennie suddenly passed her phone to Lina. The latter immediately raised an eyebrow at her. "Take a look."

Lina then picked up Jennie's phone and immediately furrowed her brow. "Where did you get this?"

"I told you. I can attack the Kim Family anytime I want to. I have been away for seven years. Did you think I would just sit there and watch everyone from my throne? That would be boring, won't it?"

"How dare you do this to my husband and me? Do you think you can manipulate me into destroying my own family? You are wrong, Jennie! I already know what you love to do to your enemies! I know you and the way you deal with the people who offend you!" Lina said in one go. It was apparent that whatever Jennie showed her made her irritated.

"Hmmm... Alright. This makes me wonder... what will happen to your husband if this information is released to the media? I mean... I heard Mr. Kim wanted to enter into politics." Jennie dramatically shook her head. "I mean... as a protective wife, you should already know the possible effects of this scandal. Right?"

"This is not true!"

"But will anyone believe that?" Jennie rebutted before she covered her mouth and let out a giggle. "No one will. I know you don't care about what the truth was seven years ago. So it should not be a big deal if you get a taste of your own medicine, right?"

"Do you think these threats will affect me? Do you not know who I am?" Lina hissed. Her husband, Zeng came from a family of politicians. However, unlike his father and two brothers, Zeng pursued business instead of politics. Though Zeng excelled in business, the Kim Family still showed their dislike for his career. But this all changed when Old Man Kim died years ago.
