The Villain's Wife

60

On the other side of the venue, Yang Lina arrived with her husband, Zeng. As a couple who were already known in business circles, Zeng and Lina's arrival immediately attracted the attention of some people. This was also because the couple managed to bring Kai with them. Sadly, Nancy was not able to come because of her current state.

Just like Chaerin and everyone else, the trio were also pleasantly surprised by the sophistication before them. Though these people were used to being invited to events like this, they could not deny the fact that this was the first time they'd witnessed an event as grand as this launch.

When the trio reached their assigned seats, surprise registered on their faces when they saw Chaerin and the others had been seated at the same table as them.

"Where is Nancy?" Won-Young instantly asked. After the host announced that they would be starting soon, he and his son immediately returned to their assigned table.

"She is not feeling well," Kai was quick to answer. Actually, Nancy caused a big ruckus when Yang Lina did not allow her to come. She was crying and throwing things the whole day. In the end, Lina threatened to send her to the Kim Family's ancestral house in Bukchon after she gives birth. Nancy's anger immediately subsided. She stopped crying and obediently stayed at home.

Kai tried to stay behind to attend to his wife, but his mother insisted that this event is very important and hence, he should come along and leave Nancy at home. Lina also made sure to leave a caretaker at home to attend to Nancy's every need for the night.

Hearing Kai's words, Won-Young and Chaerin nodded. After all, Nancy is heavily pregnant and It's reasonable for her not to feel well at this point.

"This is actually over the top. Is this really necessary?" As a civil servant, Zeng had developed the trait of being 'just and humble'. For him, extravagant spending like this was actually unnecessary at these launch events. He felt, It would have been better to utilize this amount of money to help the underprivileged.

"She is trying to show everyone how big her company is. She is rich. Let her show off," Lina answered with a smile on her face. Jennie was actually someone who sits above all of them when it comes to their bank accounts. This is something that she herself could not deny. She then turned towards her son, "This is a very good event for you. Everyone who has been invited is truly influential. Some people even came from abroad. If you want to broaden your network, you should take advantage of this opportunity to interact with them."

"Mother, the program will start soon."

"No, it won't." Lina smiled at him, her gaze was full of meaning, "Jennie is not yet here."

"But the host..."

"They won't start without Jennie," Lina interrupted her son. "I am sure of that." Before she could give her son a smile, however, the lights dimmed and the voice of the host echoed through the room, announcing the formal start of the program.

Lina immediately furrowed her brows. Why would they start the event without Jennie? She then checked her phone but discovered that there were no unread messages. This could only mean that her plan was a success. Jennie should be in the hospital right now.

"Mother, is everything alright?" Kai asked, sensing Lina's distress.

"Of course," she answered as she thought about her previous plans for Jennie. First, Lina only wanted to hurt Jennie by embarrassing her and showing her that this was Korea and not Europe. This was Lina's turf. She was hoping that it would be enough to ruin Jennie and that she would return to Europe after the accident. She had contacted the Family's lackey, Tian for this job. The man had assured her that everything would be taken care of, and Lina trusted his words. That was the reason why she brought Kai here, to show him that Jennie was not some invincible entity that he should be afraid of.
