The Villain's Wife

171

After a few days of going around having interviews and photoshoot, Jennie and Lisa finally went back to Sky City. However, the duo did not even unpack their luggage as they immediately went to Singapore to attend the reading of the Old Man's Will.

The reading of the will be in the Lee Family's house and will be attended by Thomas, Ron, Adrian, Lisa, and Dae Un. However, Dae Un declined the invitation and told the lawyer that she would like Jennie to become her representative, instead.

Of course, the Lawyer disagreed. After all, Jennie is not Dae Un's lawyer. Moreover, she was not invited to the reading. But when Lisa refused to attend without Jennie. In the end, the Lawyer was forced to bend and ended up allowing her to become Dae Un's representative.

This made Adrian, and Ron fumed in anger. But what can they do? The lawyer already told them that Lisa's attendance is very important in the reading.

"I was already expecting this!" Adrian slowly massaged his still injured arm. The wound from his surgery was already healing. However, the mention of Jennie and Lisa's name seemed to make his wound throbbed in pain. "That woman won't stop until she acquires the Lee Group!"

"Calm yourself! You know being too angry is not good for you." Thomas immediately reprimanded his son. "This anger won't help us in any way." He uttered in a calm tone.

Adrian grunted in response. "Father, how could you be this calm?" he asked. Confused at his father's reaction. "If Lisa decides to take over the company, you will suffer the most injustice! You took care of this company for decades! How could you be this calm, knowing that it was about to be taken away from you?"

Thomas only let out a sigh. Calm? This was only on the outside! On the inside, he was struggling. He was afraid and hesitant to trust Jennie and her plans. However, what could he do? He could not just defeat someone who knows all secrets that the Lee Family had. He needed someone from the outside to help him. "As I said... Anger won't do us any good."

Their conversation was interrupted when the lawyer arrived with Lisa and Jennie in tow. Their arrival immediately changed the atmosphere In the living room.

"You did not even dare to show your face on grandfather's funeral," Adrian spoke first. Displeasure laced his tone. "And yet, you are here now. Aren't you afraid that grandfather's soul will haunt you in your sleep?"

"How was your arm?" Lisa titled his head towards Adrian. He eyed his arm as a cold smile appeared on his lips. "Does it still hurt?"

Adrian immediately felt his throat tightened. Anger immediately started to boil inside him. He opened his mouth as he was about to argue, but his father already beat him to it.

"He is fine now," Thomas said as he sent a warning glance at his son. "The surgery went well."

"Good." Jennie chimed in. "You should be more careful." She beamed at Adrian. "Stop being too clumsy. You can't just bump into a block of concrete when you feel like it and expect nothing in return." While Jennie's words seemed to mean well, everyone in the room except the lawyer, knew what she meant.

Jennie had likened her and Lisa into the concrete that Adrian bump into. As expected, Adrian's face immediately reddened. He suddenly rose from his seat and walked towards Jennie. However, Lisa was quick enough to stand in front of his wife. He narrowed his eyes at the furious Adrian.

The duo was almost of the same height, however, Lisa's body is more muscular than Adrian's tall and thin physique. If the two would stand in front of each other, anyone could see who will win in case they fight.

"Adrian!"

"Stop it, Adrian!" Thomas and Ron said almost at the same time.

"You want to touch her?" There was no warmth in Lisa's voice. "You think... you can just touch my woman because you want to?" An arrogant smirk hung on Lisa's lips. "You can try."
