The Villain's Wife

161

"Preposterous!" Isaac slammed his hands on the table. "Are you threatening me?"

"That was a warning. Not a threat." She shrugged and nonchalantly leaned against the chair. "But... please go ahead and release it."

"You- " Isaac was speechless. He wondered if this was Jennie's reverse psychology tactics to try and make him doubt his plans. "You are someone who helps women with charities. And yet, you would tolerate your husband's actions?" he asked.

"What actions? Oh... you mean not treating you as someone important?" She stifled a burst of laughter. "I am encouraging him to do that."

Isaac reddened. It seemed that there is no convincing Jennie about this matter anymore. The woman was truly hateful and arrogant. She would rather sacrifice her husband's name than to lower her pride and embarrass herself.

He stared at Jennie smiling face as he felt anger boil inside him. Everything about Jennie is just too irritating. Isaac realized that seeing Jennie every day might even cause him to suffer from a heart attack!

"If you dare hurt Demi, I will- "

"Why would I hurt her? If you want... I could even invite her to live in our house." She beamed.

Of course, Isaac was immediately confused. What kind of woman would invite a possible threat in her marriage into her own house? Was this woman crazy?

"If Demi decides to go to Seoul, have her stay in our simple abode. Don't worry... I would not hurt a woman like her."

"Listen..." Jennie pursed her lips and did not continue her words when she spotted Lisa walking towards them. She eyed the milk tea in his hand and beamed. "What brought you here?" she asked.

Lisa approached Jennie and kissed her forehead. "Go to our room and wait for me." He said dotingly as he handed the paper bag with her milk teas. "I already ordered some food service for your snacks."

"Oh..." Jennie stared at him for a few seconds before she nodded. "Oh then... I have to leave now?"

He nodded in response. "Someone is guarding our hotel room. You will be safe there." He said in a low voice. He then lifted her chin and gave her a light kiss on the lips. "I will see you later."

Jennie smiled, her eyes crinkled as she pulled his neck, making him kiss her again. "Alright." She then rose from her seat and send the old man a provoking smile. Without waiting for another second, Jennie sauntered out of the room with her milk tea in hand.

"You have been spoiling that woman," Isaac said, displeasure was apparent in his face. "A woman like that could easily ruin you." He watched as Lisa sat opposite to him. Seeing this, pushed the folder containing the images to his grandson. "I already showed this to Jennie."

Lisa opened the folder and just glance at the articles before looking at the old man intently. Without saying anything, Lisa opened his phone and tapped a number. Instantaneously, the sound of footsteps invaded the old man's senses. He turned and looked towards the entrance of the restaurant. The hallway of the hotel was carpeted. It would muffle the sound of anyone's footsteps unless there are many people walking together in the same direction. Moreover, he already asked the owner of this hotel to close down the whole restaurant so the footsteps would not make any sense. Unless...

He looked at Lisa's relaxed appearance. "Is this how you want to play things?" he asked. Just as he expected, a couple of men barged inside. Their faces stern as they occupied every corner of the room. At this point, the old man was confused at Lisa's actions. "You wanted to kill me?" He asked.

In response, Lisa leaned on his chair. "You wanted to frame me." He stated. His doting demeanor just a while ago was long gone. "You wanted to hurt my wife."
