The Villain's Wife

79

After Jennie ended the call, she stared blankly at the various snacks in front of her. She was closer to the truth and she knew it. She bit her lower lip in contemplation. Everything that happened seemed to point her in one direction: towards the Kim Family in Daegu.

Jennie could not remember meeting anyone from this family. She remembered Won-Young saying that he would take Nancy and Hongjoong there to meet their other cousins when they were younger, but other than that she never heard of those people again. However, she did recall that Old Man Kim's will was signed by his cousin, General Kim from Daegu. Could it be possible that he was somehow aware of the reason why Old Man Kim gave Jennie everything in his will?

Jennie rose from her seat and slowly walked to her desk. She opened her laptop and looked at the information that Lisa sent to her regarding the Mu Family and the Kim Family. Both families are influential and both are well known in the business industry. While the Mu Family are known for their hospitals and Scarlett City branches all over Korea, the Kim Family is known for their mining business and jewelry shops all over Asia. Moreover, there were also two retired Generals in the Kim Household. One is the current patriarch while the other is the one who witnessed the Old Man's will.

Jennie massaged her temples as she leaned back and closed her eyes. It was clear that whatever happened seven years ago was somehow connected to the Kim Family but she found it very hard to understand why. She needed more information and she needed it as soon as possible.

Meanwhile Lisa was also having a headache. However, his was not from the stress of work. Lisa's stress came from listening to his friend talk incessantly.

"So those people dared to kill your child? How dare they?! Ah... this is making me extremely angry. Give me their complete names. I will burn them alive! How dare they kill my nephew? That He woman... I will find her and I will remove her nails one by one! Let's see if she can withstand that kind of pain! What a vicious woman! What kind of person could do that to the innocent?" Sehun continued to rant, making Lisa open his drawer and pick up his earbuds. It was always a good idea to have them at hand when Sehun was around. After making himself comfortable with his newly found silence, Lisa started working again, ignoring Sehun who was angrily pacing in his office.

This man was so noisy and so hyperactive that it was making him dizzy. After a few minutes, Lisa removed the earbuds in his ears and eyed Sehun.

"My contacts in Germany said that the Mu woman is not doing anything suspicious. Maybe I should check Asia. Aha! That would be the best place to check. Maybe they think that we are too stupid to follow them. That He woman must have hidden herself nearby!"

"Sehun..." Lisa said after he massaged the crease in his brows.

"Hm? Do you want to say something?"

"..." Does this man ever get tired of talking to himself? Lisa wondered. . "I've already dispatched our people in Asia. I also think that He Xinlan is hiding somewhere nearby. However, if your people find her first, call me. I will have Jennie deal with He Xinlan by herself," he said, his face stern and decisive. That woman owed Jennie so it is only just for Jennie to be the one who decides what will happen to someone like her.

"Why? I am already planning three ways to torture her. Why do I have to let your wife go first? Seeing that He woman's blood would really appease my anger right now. I will not rest until..."

"Sehun? My wife lost our child and it has tormented her for years," Lisa said shortly, earning a dramatic sigh from Sehun.

"Alright. It seems that you have already forgotten our thirty years of bonding with each other." Sehun dramatically heaved another epic sigh as he shook his head, then he sat opposite Lisa and pulled out his phone and began to call his contacts.
