After Lisa and Jennie went to see the house they immediately told Irene to find a very good place to purchase some furniture.
Lisa only shook his head when he heard Jennie mentioned that she is only planning to bring his piano and their clothes. She is planning to buy new furniture for the house.
"I wanted to invest in beautiful pieces so it will last longer. Something that would still exist twenty years from now." Jennie said as she instructed Irene to always chose quality over the price. "This will be our home. A place where we raise our children and maybe grandchildren. We should invest in very good furniture. She made a deliberate pause when she realized that she should stop convincing someone like her husband.
Lisa is the type of man that would agree to anything that she says. With this in mind, she could not stop the smile from blooming on her face. "Lisa, do you have a request? I am planning to make two rooms as our offices. Then one as our bedroom. We should also create a separate room for a butler. Or the people that will take care of the mansion."
Lisa couldn't help but smile as he heard Jennie babble about her future plans. Her words seemed too sweet, that he wondered if this was a hallucination. Was he really this lucky to have a woman like Jennie stand by his side until he grows old?
"Alright... I really want to pick furniture in person. I don't want to judge things base on a presentation. So maybe... we could find a decorator and schedule a day to pick the type of wood that I want for the furniture. Rosewood would be nice and oak too. Maybe we could include some mahogany. What do you think?" Jennie's question brought him back from his stupor.
"Everything you say is fine." He nodded. "You can do what you want." He added before giving her a gentle smile.
Jennie beamed in response before she went back to talking about her plans in the mansion.

When Jennie arrived in Sky City, she immediately asked Irene to give her updates about what had been going on lately. To be honest, Jennie was not that interested in the issues anymore as it does not affect her in any way. Moreover, she is planning to use another classic move that she learned from her grandmother.
'Use absence to increase respect and honor.'
Create value through scarcity. This was a classic move from her grandmother's teachings. First, establish yourself in the business world. Then withdraw and keep your silence. This will make people talk, make people assume that you are planning something.
Make people fear your absence. It will keep the enemies wondering if you are scheming against them. It will give them suspended terror. Something that is essential to maintain your air of unpredictability.
In the first place, too much presence in the news does not necessarily mean that it will bring her profits. So why tire herself when she won't benefit from it?
However, all this plan seemed to crumble and turned into ashes when she heard Irene's words.
"A scandal?" her mind went spiral. Lisa's face immediately flooded her head. "Can you give me the tablet?" Jennie had been limiting her time with her laptop and tablet as Lisa insisted that the radiation is bad for her and their child's health.
Jennie chose to comply as she knew Lisa was just concern about her health.
When Irene gave her the tablet, Jennie immediately checked the news. It wasn't really hard to find as it was still trending. Her mouth flew open. She was speechless! Lisa was ruthless and direct, ah.
He instantly destroyed someone's career in less than a day! Seeing Jennie's reaction, Irene immediately cleared her throat.
"Taehyung was the one who tracked the hacker who released those photos." Irene said. "Lisa said that this is only the start. I think... I think he is planning to kill Miss Daisy." Irene said with a straight face. "She deserves it."
