The Villain's Wife

182

Jennie was about to laugh when she saw Lisa walking towards them. She assumed that the latter already told the old man that they are leaving. "Are we leaving?" she asked while ignoring Yu Jing's sister and Daisy. People like this are bound to make a fool out of themselves sooner or later.

"The old man asked to talk to you," he said in a low voice. But it was enough for Daisy, and the other people near them to hear. He gave her a knowing look before he added, "I say... we talk to him. In private." He smiled as he held Jennie's hands.

Jennie nodded before she looked at Daisy. "Miss Daisy... you seemed really enjoying the party. It seems that the news a while ago didn't affect you at all." She then eyed everyone else who pretended that they were not listening to the conversation. "I'm sure... you already saw the trending news. Right?"

When Daisy heard Jennie's words it was as if something ominous started to spread from her chests. She felt her heartbeat raced as she wondered about the meaning behind Jennie's words. "What are you talking about?" she asked.

Instead of answering, Jennie only smirked at her. She then held Lisa's arms and left with him. Jennie's reaction puzzled Daisy. She hastily turns on her phone as she eyed everyone who was now on their phones as well.

[CEO Yu, accused of favoritism.]

[Daisy; stealing endorsements?]

[Is Daisy ruined?]

[Petition: Boycott Daisy's movie!]

[Petition: Remove the thief from the awards nominations.]

Daisy staggered after she read the headlines of the gossip sites. Her hands trembled as her face lost its color. She didn't need to lift her head to see everyone's eyes full of ridicule. She can already imagine the mockery on their faces as they stare at her. She bit her lips and composed herself. Breaking down would only mean that she is guilty.

Slowly, Daisy lifted her head and act as if what she just read does not concern her. She smiled at the people who were staring at her and silently walked towards Yu Jing.

She was sure that Yu Jing does not have any idea of this matter.

"You look pale. Are you feeling unwell?" he immediately asked when his woman's ashen face caught his attention.

"Check your phone." She whispered before she downed a glass of champagne. "I don't want to go home." She added. She knew that Yu Jing will offer to leave this place after he reads the news. However, to Daisy, that is akin to saying that they were afraid. That they were guilty.

She would never do that! She needed all the courage that she could get to thicken her face and stay until the end of the party. She then recalled Jennie's treacherous face. She gritted her teeth, irritation flashing in her eyes. "I will go and freshen up." She said as she rose from her seat.

At this point, Daisy was sure that Jennie was backing Cindy Hao. It was the only explanation why she was would have the courage to breach her contract and accuse them of such things. Daisy's hatred towards Jennie only multiplied. How could someone as hateful as Jennie exist in this world? She clenched her jaw as she walked towards the kitchen to the mansion. She needed to teach Jennie a lesson.

The world is round. She should not expect that she always on top of the wheel.

Meanwhile, Jennie smiled at the old man sitting in a luxurious velvet chair in the terraces that was overlooking the whole party. This place was located on the second floor of the mansion and also have a pretty view of the whole of Seoul's cityscape.

"I supposed there is a reason why you wanted to talk to me in private?" On the inside, Jennie was irritated. However, she still maintained her composure as she smiled at the old man.
