The Villain's Wife

"That man is so stupid. Why would he kidnap her now? Man... I really can't fathom the stupidity of people like him. I'm wondering how on earth someone like him survived this long" Sehun guffawed before he swallowed a bite of his sandwich. He then made sure that he had Lisa's attention before he continued. "Anyway... I have my men watching over Hao's base, which is where Yifei is being held. We can go there whenever you want," he said between bites.

"I wasn't expecting him to do it at a time like this. But... we can't really understand how someone as dim as him thinks, can we?" Lisa asked as he sliced the Monte Cristo sandwich he'd just made for Jennie. He dusted it with powdered sugar and served it with the French raspberry conserve that Jennie loved so much.

"What cheese did you use?" Jennie asked. Her eyes lingered on the sandwich for a moment before she turned her attention to Sehun. The man arrived just after Jisoo left and was apparently starving like the apocalypse had happened and the grocery stores were closed. He'd already had his second sandwich and was still eyeing Lisa's food.

"Emmental," Lisa answered as he sliced his sandwich. He ignored Sehun who was already drooling over the mere mention of any type of Swiss cheese. "I know you love Swiss cheese."

"Hmmm... Thank you," Jennie answered before raising half of the sandwich to her mouth. "Hao won't kill Yifei," she concluded, making Sehun looked in her direction. Jennie was currently sitting at the kitchen island with her hand propping up her chin. He studied her as she lazily took a bite of the sandwich.

"How do you know that?" Sehun asked.

"Hao would ask for the shares first, and he would probably torture her to get her to give them to him. And she obviously isn't giving up anything she schemed to get, ever, " Lisa answered. "She's been playing a long hand. She wouldn't let him win just like that."

"Oh..." Sehun nodded as he processed that intel. "But what if he believes her stories? What if Hao attacks us instead?"

"He won't," Jennie answered, feeling a little irritated because she had to explain stuff to Sehun every single time. When she thought about him doing all the dirty work, she realized that maybe it really was only fair to explain everything to him after all. "We fed him enough proof for him not to believe her lies anymore."

"Got it," Sehun nodded as he attempted to snatch half of the sliced sandwich from Lisa. Unfortunately, Jennie was quick enough to slap his hand and glare at him like a disciplinarian. In the end Sehun could only swallow his grievances as he made another unimpressive sandwich for himself. This couple was really too stingy, he thought inwardly while shaking his head.

Meanwhile, after Hao received news that his men had Yifei, he instantly left to see her. The board meeting was approaching and news of the sexual assault charges that were filed against him had already reached the ears of some prominent people. He could not let that woman run amok and cause any more scenes that negatively impacted him.

Moreover, he had been waiting to torture this woman until she spilled the details about where she was hiding Mimi and her brother, Zhang Cheng. In Hao's mind, the only thing that would appease his anger would be to kill Yifei's family in front of her. This would be his revenge for manipulating him all these years. Of course, Hao's extreme hatred stemmed from the fact that he had been used and underestimated by a woman who he'd deemed beneath him.

His anger was not about her manipulating his father, or her ruining the Kim family. It was about the fact that this woman actually fooled him! It was because Yifei was smart enough to f*cking play him like a fool for years!

Plus, Yifei had obtained a lot of shares. He would want to obtain those shares and keep them for himself in case Chuan appeared. With a whooping forty percent of shares in his hand, it would be difficult for Chuan to dethrone him, even with Jennie by his side.
