The Villain's Wife

80

The very next day, all of the tabloids and online news sites were headlined with Lisa's name. According to the news, the latter was a ruthless businessman who only used the fact that he was raised in an orphanage to build his reputation. In reality, he doesn't care about the children at all. He was just using the orphanage as a means to paint himself as someone who never forgot where he came from.

The news also stated that the land where the orphanage rested on was being purchased by a private company for property development. Of course, this news created a buzz - after all, LM Capital is a very influential bank in Asia. Some people were quick to judge him, while others just said that it was only normal for a businessman like him to consider profits first. Who knows how much that private company paid him to buy the property?

"Ah, being a journalist sounds tough," Jennie remarked languidly as she stifled a yawn. "Imagine creating all these stories just to attract the eyes of the people." She handed the tablet to her husband and snuggled towards him. She placed her head on the crook on his neck and inhaled his tantalizing scent while snaking her arms around his waist so she could snuggle even closer to him. It was only six in the morning and she really wanted to snuggle into her Lisa blanket and sleep for another hour.

"I want a vacation," she whispered. "After we find He Xinlan, we should go and take a vacation."

"Alright, where do you want to go?" He put the tablet away and hugged Jennie with one arm while his other arm served as Jennie's pillow.

"I always travel for business. This time, I want to see the ancient palaces and villages in Thailand, and maybe even wear a chut thai too."

"Ah, then why don't we get married in Thailand? Like have the celebration wearing their traditional clothing?" he said.

"Can we?"

"Of course!" he chuckled. "We should do this in every country too. We should start with Japan, and then Thailand, China, India, the US, Europe... and everywhere we go for work."

"So, we will have a marriage ceremony in every country that we go to?" Jennie laughed a little. This man is very creative ah.

"Hmmm... that way, once we reincarnate into other people we will still find ourselves no matter our race and country," he answered earnestly, sending a warm and comforting feeling through Jennie's heart. For some reason, his words made her want to cry. Why is she being emotional? Must be that time of the month, Jennie concluded. With this in mind, she shut her eyes and chose not to say anything.

After a few minutes, a small smile blossomed on Jennie's face as she lifted her head and looked at Lisa's eyes. "Alright, let's get married in every part of the world," she beamed before leaning in for a kiss.

.....

Both Jennie and Lisa received a lot of calls from their subordinates about the orphanage issue. Even George called her asking if she wanted his help in eliminating the news. However, both of them refused all offers of assistance. They just assured everyone that it was under control and that they needn't worry about it.

However, after a few hours, a blog site came forward debunking the tabloids' claims. The owner of the blog site was someone from the orphanage and she even provided proof of Lisa's kindness towards them. She explained how the latter helped them a lot by providing them with jobs and accommodation after leaving the orphanage. She said that Lisa never asked them to pay for anything and even offered one orphan a permanent job with his security detail.

How could these tabloids slander the person that they considered to be their savior? After the blog became one of the trending topics, another person came forward saying the same thing. This commenter was actually the former orphan who Lisa had recommended for the security job. Then one after another, people who Lisa had helped turned up- some even made videos of themselves talking about Lisa's good deeds.
