The Villain's Wife

And they were right.

Jennie was only waiting for them to show their cards. Before she acted, and when she started she never stopped. With Lisa behind her and a calculating brain inside her head, it was easy for Jennie to create a plan like this while enjoying the day with her husband, watching sharks and snakes.

Of course, this was far from being over. Jennie had plans... way bigger than this. In her eyes, profit is everything. Jennie would never turn down a golden opportunity like this.

"How was she?" Jennie eyed the lush wine-colored carpet of the bar. This bar was located a couple of floors above their room and it was very convenient for her to come here to enjoy a drink or two with her husband.

"I appreciate that you didn't tell her how are you going to use the video to blackmail me into sharing my shares." Jun Liang's tone had a hint of sarcasm. His eyes were glued on Jennie's beautiful face.

"Your welcome," she smiled at him. "I know how a father like you would never want to hurt his daughter... not intentionally at least."

Jun responded with a sighed. The more he talked to Jennie, the more he realized how ruthless she was. However, at one point, he truly appreciated the way she told Demi that she will not use the video against her. At least, it had lessened the burden that his daughter felt.

Jun could never imagine what his daughter would feel if she knew that Jennie used that video to blackmail him right now. "Was this all a game to you?" he asked.

"Games are for little girls, Mr. Liang. Do I look like a girl to you?" Jennie answered. "I call this business. I am making an investment in my time and effort and in return, I earn some profits."

A gleam of understanding flashed in the older man's eyes. "I already sent the signed copy to the other shareholders, and the majority agreed in less than a minute. Did you - Did you do that too?" he asked.

Jennie nodded. "Not me. My husband did. When the old man announced that he was his heir, he failed to realize that businessmen will always act like businessmen. They are like bamboo trees. They sway... with the wind."

"We already brought her to a mental facility. The doctor said there is a possibility that she might try to hurt herself. So... they had to restrict her. As a father... it pains me to see her like this."

"Would you rather see her being used by greedy people?" She eyed the wine in Jun's hands.

"Would you like some?"

"No... thank you." She stared at the red liquid on his wineglass.

Jun smiled. "What are your plans now? You told me that Lisa is not planning to take over Lee Group. Are you just planning to invest in the company?"

"Hmmm... hospitals seldom go bankrupt and the Lee Group had been around for a long time. They're management and leadership are reliable."

"So you decided to use us."

"Yes... You are the most vulnerable target and I am not apologetic for what I did."

"I - " Jun did not continue his words, speechless. He stared at Jennie for a few seconds. "I have never met someone as direct as you." How could a woman be this calm when talking about sinister things like this? Jun couldn't help but wonder what kind of childhood Jennie had to be able to act like this.

"I am taking that as a compliment, Mr. Liang."

"It is." He nodded. "As a businessman, I understand your point. My daughter was also the one who tried to sabotage your marriage. I - To be honest, I do not blame you for doing this. In fact... I am thankful. Thanks to you - the marriage alliance between Lisa and my daughter never happened. With a grandfather like Isaac Lee controlling even my daughter, I believe I just got lucky and dodge a bullet."
