The Villain's Wife

"Enough to know what happened." Jennie answered.

Isaac stared at her before letting out a sigh. "I want you to explain things. To him."

"Then go ahead and see him."

"Aren't you even interested to know what happened? At least a little curious?"

Jennie rose from her seat. "I see no point in talking like this." She turned her back on the old man and took a step away from him.

"He is in danger." As expected, the old man's words made Jennie stop walking. "I wanted to warn you about it. I would assume that he already told you about the Zhou Family. Since you came into Lisa's life, his media appearance had increased. The privacy that he established before you arrived crumbled."

"Are you saying that you want me to leave him?" Jennie said as she turned towards the old man again.

"I am not going say that. You should know the best thing that you should do to protect him. As a woman, you are bound to support your husband, not put him in harms way. Everything that he did so far was because of you. To protect you. I don't want to..."

"No." Jennie interrupted him. "I am not leaving my husband." She then slowly sat on her chair.

"As I said..."

"What you say doesn't matter." Jennie said. "You think too highly of yourself, Mr. Lee. Your opinions do not matter. Not to me... or him."

"I only want to protect him. Your presence is ruining the balance. It is not making him think logically." In response Jennie narrowed her eyes at the old man.

Everything that the old man said was actually true. Since she came, Lisa had become irrational, and it had affected the privacy that he always wanted to maintain before. Everything that Lisa did was all because of her. However, if this old man thinks that she would leave Lisa at the first sign of danger, then he is wrong. So wrong.

Jennie will stand beside her husband- not behind, not in front but beside him.

She would stand beside him and that is something that she already promised to herself. Of course, she would not let the old man know this.

"You should know that the Zhou Family have very powerful enemies. Lisa... His influence could only protect him in Korea. Once he is out of the..."

"No. For the last time, I am not leaving him." Why would Jennie leave her own husband? Jennie was wondering why the old man would even think that his words could convince Jennie. "Lisa is not dumb, he knows that he is doing. While I don't appreciate you meeting me this way. I appreciate that you have at least shown a little concern about him. But, at the same time, I also found it funny. For thirty-one years, you were not in his life. He stood alone as he established his name in the business industry. Why start caring now?"

"Lisa is a very private person. I was looking for him for a very long time now. He changed his last name, and I never thought that he would be very successful right now. Without that accident in Japan where he tried to save you and ended up falling, I wouldn't have known that he was still alive."

"I see." Jennie nodded. How could she miss Isaac's words about him saving her? "Well... we have already established the fact that I am not leaving him. I am a busy woman Mr. Lee... I still have business to attend to."

"Are you really going to ignore my words and continue acting like this has nothing to do with you? Did you just listen to what I said? You are his weakness. The loose end that his enemies could always take care anytime. If the enemies will target you, I am sure he would do everything to protect you. He would even sacrifice himself! For you! All for you!" Veins started to appear in Isaac's forehead. "He would catch a bullet for you. The least that you could do is keep him safe. Leave him."
