The Villain's Wife

When Chuan heard Lisa's words, he instantly frowned at him. Does Jennie know that she married a person like this? He opened his mouth, wanting to rebut Lisa's words. "Killing him doesn't make everything right," he uttered, unable to stop himself.

Lisa did not respond to his words as he turned his attention to the smoke arising from his coffee. Its lingering aroma assaulting his nose, prompting him to close his eyes as he thought about everything that Jennie went through. "Your daughter was bullied while growing up. She was labelled as shameless, her mother a whore for climbing into Won-Young's bed. In her early twenties, she lost our child, her mother and the family that she knew. She almost went crazy before her grandmother rescued her. Everything that had happened since she was born was orchestrated by that man."

Slowly, Lisa opened his eyes and stared at Chuan. "As the person who loved her for over fifteen years... are you telling me that I should just step back and let the culprit of her misery go?"

"Killing will not make any past deeds right..." Lisa added, his gaze sharp almost piercing as he looked at the man in front of him. "And so is forgiveness."

"For our shopping app, I would like to change the color of the logo. Make it... red. I want something that immediately attracts the attention of the people. Something that they wouldn't miss the moment that they opened their phones." Jennie said while staring at her laptop. "Aside from that everything else is good. Since our opening will be in Christmas... there should be a big show. I want a concert. Something grand for the opening of the new Harmony Isle."

"I understand." Mr. Beau nodded, his eyes were glued unto his own laptop as he noted everything that Jennie said.

"Also... I want the complete list of the names of the people that we will invite for this show." Jennie said.

"Yes, president. I will have it on your table before this day ends."

"Very good. I believe we are done for today. Ladies and gents. You can go now." Jennie did not wait for any response as she walked out of the conference room, her face was serious while asking Irene of her next meeting.

"President. You have a Skype call scheduled with Mr. Tan from the logistics department of our..."

"I remember. Call Lisa. Tell him I will be late for dinner. Tell me the situation about our Westward terminals." Westward Terminals is another subsidiary of Facci Group that focused on ports and freights. During the weekends, Jennie received a lot of calls about the trouble that they encountered in their cargo ports in Malaysia. Since she was away with Lisa, Jennie could not deal with the matter and asked Mr. Rossi to take over instead.

"We have another collision. Two collisions in three days... I don't think it is a coincidence. I already asked our men to review everything on the ports around the time of the accidents we should get a response soon." Irene answered as she tried to catch up to Jennie's steps.

"Good." In porting business, sabotage and terrorism are not actually a new threat. In fact, they will encounter those every now and then. "You said ports? I thought it was only in Malaysia?"

"No... One is in Malaysia and the other two is in South America."

"Alright. I will talk to Mr. Tan... there is no such a thing as coincidences. We should prepare for a counter." Jennie mumbled as she walked towards her office. However, to her surprise someone else is already sitting in the couch. Her face instantly lost all of its expression. "Who let you in?"

"Is that how you greet your brother?" Hongjoong who was languidly sitting at the couch rose and walked towards Jennie.

"Who let you in?" Jennie repeated as she looked at Irene over her shoulders. "Call the security. I ..."
