The Villain's Wife

Thomas nodded as he turned his face away. His son grew up around the old man. Thus, his views are similar to the old man's principle. "He is fragile..."

"Adult." Jennie interrupted. "Your son is already an adult. He can make his own choices. His destiny is crafted by him and his stupid ideas."

Understanding flashed in Thomas' eyes before he glared at Jennie. "How dare you talk to me like that? I am your elder!" He raised his voice as his gaze shifted towards Adrian who was walking their way. "I think you have done enough damage, Miss Jennie."

Jennie lifted an eyebrow. However, when she saw Adrian approaching their way, she smiled. "Oh... this is just the icing. If the old man won't stop whatever it is that he is planning then... I won't hesitate to take over and protect what's mine."

"What a nasty woman," Adrian chided. He narrowed his eyes at Jennie. "Thanks to you, my grandfather is not feeling well. What do you think will the media say if we release the news of what you did tonight?"

Jennie snorted. She gave Thomas a meaningful gaze before she edged closer to Adrian. "It wasn't my fault that your old man is weak." She said in a low voice, just enough for Adrian and Thomas to hear. "It wasn't my fault that his heart could not handle someone talk back at him. It wasn't my fault that he couldn't handle a woman like... me." Her red lips curled up. "Now... as much as I enjoyed our dinner, I have to leave and attend to my husband's needs."

Jennie walked past Adrian, only for him to grab her arms. "You will regret doing this to my family." He hissed.

"Is that a threat?" Jennie returned the man's gaze. "Are you threatening me, Mr. Adrian Lee?" Jennie watched as Thomas paled while staring at his son. Disbelief flashed in his eyes. For a moment, Jennie thought she could see regret in the older man's eyes. Did he regret exposing his own son to Isaac's views? Jennie couldn't tell. All she knew is from this point on... Adrian would suffer just like his grandfather.

"This is not Seoul or Europe. You can't do anything in this country." Adrian said. "Let's see if you have the strength to maintain that smirk on your face once something happens to your branch in Singapore."

"He is threatening me," Jennie turned towards the pale Thomas. "Your son... had the guts to threaten me."

"I don't do threats." Adrian tightened his fingers around Jennie's arms. "You have embarrassed and disrespected my grandfather. You deserve to suffer."

"You know what your first mistake was?" The smirk on her face did not falter as she leaned closer. "Touching me."

Adrian seemed to realize his actions as he let her arm go.

"I would love to see Lisa's face once I show him my bruised arm." She laughed a dry sarcastic laughter. "Don't worry. He won't kill you. However, I cannot assure you that he won't cut your filthy hands and let you watched as he fed them to the dogs."

"You- "

"Your second mistake was underestimating me and my husband."

He took a step back as he narrowed his eyes at her. "Your arrogance will be your downfall."

"And your stupidity will be the death of you." She fired back before turning around and walking towards the elevator of the restaurant. Once she was inside the elevator, Jennie examined her arms and as expected she can already see small purple marks around it. She sighed. How could Adrian think that Lisa would let this go?

Jennie immediately dialed Lisa's number and told him to come to pick her up.

After exiting the elevator, Jennie had to wait in the lobby of the building as she needed to wait for Lisa. She sat on one of the sofas and decided to check her emails.
