The Villain's Wife

After Jennie left the Lee Group's office, she immediately went back to the hotel and ask Irene to schedule a meeting with Jun Liang. She needed explanations about this Chen Shi and she wanted to know what happened years ago.

"You have been sleeping a lot lately." He sat next to Jennie as he loosened his tie. While Jennie was attending the meeting with the Lees, Lisa volunteered to talk to the authorities and politicians about the construction of Jennie's mall.

"I told you... it's the trip. For some reason, the plane ride is making me dizzy."

He gave her a worried look. In response, Jennie pulled him towards her. Hooking her arms around his neck, Jennie kissed him. She held him tight against her body. After a few seconds, Jennie let go and smiled. "I am hungry. Did you order anything?"

"Hmmm." He nodded and stroked her head. "Do you like to stay here for a few days? So you can rest before we go back to Seoul?"

"Oh. No. I think it's better if we leave tomorrow so I can just stay in Sky City. The people from Luxembourg have been talking and sending me messages lately. I think they will visit soon. Maybe Eliza will... So I have to rest before then."

"Alright..." He leaned down to kiss her forehead. He closed his gentle eyes as he masked the suspicion in his orbs. His wife had been really tired lately. He couldn't help but wonder if this was some sort of defense mechanism that she is showing to cope with what she experienced with Jack. "I will call you once the food is here." He smiled and gave her another kiss.

"The news about Jennie and Cindy already died down." Manager Hao knitted his brows at the CEO of Yu Entertainment. "How could you ask her to mention Jennie in the coming press conference? The script that you gave her is just... wrong."

"Manager Hao... I am only doing what is best for your sister. I believe that this issue will boost her popularity."

"CEO Yu, with all due respect, Jennie offered Cindy those pieces of jewelry. There wasn't any issue at the photoshoot either. We can't just create something out of it! Jennie was smart enough to be cordial with my sister while everyone is watching! You can't really say that she called my sister nasty names just because of that jewelry. It is- "

"Just tell your sister to follow the script. I am the CEO of this company. I only do things that will benefit us in the long run."

Manager Hao sneered inwardly. "How could fighting against a person like Jennie benefit us?" she argued. She immediately wondered why this man is trying to ruin her sister's reputation. For the umpteenth time, Jennie's question about the awards echoed in her mind. "CEO Yu, my sister is already famous. I don't think she still needed to boost her name by dragging Jennie's name into it."

"Manager Hao." CEO Yu clenched his jaws. "You are overstepping. Please don't forget that the contract stipulates that I am the one in charge here."

"Is that why you are slowly removing some of Cindy's endorsements and giving it to Daisy?" Manager Hao's face turned ugly. "CEO Yu..." she made a deliberate pause. "I would like to ask you. Do you have something against my sister?"

Yu Jing narrowed his eyes at the woman sitting in front of him. Manager Hao was known to defend the talents against her. However, she had never defended Daisy like this. "Manager Hao... Do not forget that Daisy is also under you. Would you want me to give the endorsements to someone that is not under you?"

Before Manager Hao could open her mouth to argue, CEO Yu continued, "I don't want you to play favorites here. One is your sister, and one is a new face with lots of potential. Daisy is already pretty known. I am sure that she can further show her talents here in Korea. Moreover, Cindy has a lot of endorsements. Can't she just give one or two to Daisy?"
