The Villain's Wife

"I heard that Alexandra was on her way to Busan?" Lisa asked as he ate the chicken casserole that his lovely wife had prepared for him. "She probably has connections. I am sure she'll be able to see her aunt tonight."

"First... let's talk about my chicken casserole," Jennie chose not to answer him. "Do you like it? How was it? Creamy?"

"This is a chicken and mushroom casserole," Lisa said.

"Oh yeah... I added some mushrooms to the recipe," she instantly nodded. The recipe was only for chicken casserole but she found some mushrooms in the fridge so she decided to add those as well.

"I've already told you not to change the recipes just because you feel like it," Lisa said. Seeing the smile on Jennie's face slowly vanish, Lisa instantly added, "But this one tastes really good. I think it would be a good idea to write your own recipes instead of changing recipes that you find online."

As expected, Jennie's face instantly lit up. "Really? You think I should publish a recipe book?"

"Ehem... not publish. Just write one for us," He answered.

"Oh... Okay." Jennie used a fork to spear some mushrooms. "I love mushrooms. I should write recipes about mushrooms."

"Hmmm... Good idea," he nodded. "Tell me... are you planning something evil again?"

Jennie only raised an eyebrow at him before eating another mushroom. "First... I don't have evil ideas, alright? Second..." She paused as she slowly leaned towards Lisa. "How did you know that I wanted something? Am I being too obvious?"

"First, all of your ideas are evil, and second, you are too obvious," he grinned before pinching Jennie's nose.

"Aw! And here I thought I could get away with just being pretty and my wonderful cooking skills," she stroked her nose playfully.

"So?"

"Well... I want to see Alessandra," Jennie answered. "I want to talk to her, personally."

"Why?" Lisa's brows instantly furrowed. To be honest, he does not want Jennie to be this hands on with her plans. He does not want to put her in danger at all. Lisa decided long ago to stand in front of Jennie, to be the face behind all of these ruthless schemes to protect her identity and to protect her personally.

"I know you are aware that I met with Alexandra earlier and... Alessandra is not yet ready. She is not yet prepared to face the things that Alexandra will do after today."

"What do you mean?"

"Alexandra will reveal to the public that her mother and father killed Alessandra's parents," Jennie said. "She is the type of person who would not even think twice about sacrificing her own parents for her personal gain."

Seeing Lisa fall into deep contemplation, Jennie continued. "Alexandra hates her father for being incapable and for stealing the company. She hates him for not being smart enough to convince their grandfather to make him the heir instead of Alessandra's intelligent father. She would not hesitate to ruin his name just to make the investors kick him out of the company."

"While she is close with her mother... Alexandra is ruthless. She would use this opportunity to lure her mother and she would even drag He Xinlan towards me just to save herself," Jennie added before she scooped some of the creamy sauce and put it on top of her rice.

"How do you know this?" Lisa asked. This is a detailed reaction- something that should be very hard to calculate just from Alexandra and Jennie's conversation.
