The Villain's Wife

"Are you going to see your father soon?" Lisa asked as he gave Jennie a cup of coffee and took a seat across from her. He wore a serious expression as he waited for her response.

"I am," she nodded. "Yifei and the Kim family will visit three days from now."

"Seeing them would mean that you are declaring war? Right?" he asked as a tinge of worry laced his voice.

"Right," she confirmed as her eyes met his. "You're worried," she observed.

"A normal person would always worry about their loved ones."

"But you are not normal. You're in this fight with me, so what are you worried about?" she asked.

"Do you think we're overestimating our capabilities? For some reason I feel that Yifei is hiding something from us and we don't have complete information about them. I don't think we can blindly enter this situation without knowing everything." His words instantly earned a raised eyebrow from Jennie before she smiled at him.

"Who says that I am going in blindly?"

"What do you mean?"

"I am not the type to go in blindly, and you know that." She took a sip of her coffee. "Do you think I would declare a war that I could not win? I am not naïve, Lisa. I have a lot of things to fight for and I don't want my efforts to go to waste." Seeing that Lisa just stared at her, Jennie continued. "Yifei's father saved the Patriarch. Because of that, he felt indebted to her and had a tendency to spoil her since she was a child. He loves her like a true daughter. He would even believe her word over that of his eldest son."

She handed Lisa her tablet. "This information was sent to me last night. I asked George to find peculiarities in Yifei's daily schedule. In return, I will take over their diamond business on the black market, giving him the advantage over others in Daegu"

"You mean me, right? You mean I will take over the business?" he smiled. How could he miss the mirth in Jennie's eyes as she looked at him?

"Of course? I have enough things to do as it is. That diamond business will be ours, but you will manage it. Revenge is good, but money is always better." Jennie giggled a bit before taking a sip of her coffee. "I asked Yang Sen to coordinate with George on this as his word carries a lot of weight in Korea."

"And?" he asked as he eyed the images on the tablet.

"Every Sunday, Yifei visits the graves of father and brother. She replaces their flowers and stays for a few minutes. After that she goes to a salon to pamper herself. When I received this information yesterday, I immediately asked Yang Sen to check the CCTV we have trained on the graves and I hit the jackpot," she grinned. "Each time Yifei leaves, a man who appears to be a few years older than her comes and visits the graves as well. The weird thing about his visits is that he picks up the flowers that Yifei leaves on graves. They tried using the CCTV footage to follow the man so they could identify him, but they failed. He was extremely cautious and he used a lot of methods to hide himself after walking away from the graves."

"And you think this man is her brother who supposedly died when they were children?" he said, earning an excited nod from Jennie. It is always nice to talk to smart people ah. Jennie does not need to force feed them everything and they will instantly guess the rest.

"Bingo," she grinned. "If my guess is right... their father is alive, too."

"Don't you think that is too far fetched?"

"Nah. After saving Old Man Kim, her father didn't die on the battlefield. He stayed in the hospital for a few weeks where he found an opportunity to ask Old Man Kim to take care of his beloved daughter after his death. Think about it. He had 3 children, but he only asked Old Man Kim to take care of Yifei? After his death, the oldest child also died by drowning. They never found his body, and the second daughter didn't go to Old Man Kim. That girl was adopted by a relative of Yifei's."
