The Villain's Wife

Sky City

The lingering aroma of black coffee inside the kitchen made Jennie frowned. She stared at the mug in Lisa's hands. "That coffee smells... weird." She uttered and went back to reading the book in her hand. Since the fire at the mansion, Jennie and Lisa decided to stay for a few weeks in Sky City before going back to The Peak. This is because Lisa did a lot of changes in the house for security.

"Then... I won't have this brand of coffee anymore." He said as he put the mug to the sink. "It's a new brand that I decided to try because of Chef Yang's suggestions."

"Hmmm... we should drink more tea instead of coffee." She said. Jennie understands that pregnant women have a better sense of smell than normal people. However, she had actually not experienced smelling something that made her uncomfortable, until now. "And keep that coffee away from me." She added as she started eating her salad. She then shifted her gaze towards Irene. "It's Sunday... you are supposed to have a day off. Why are you here?"

"I receive some phone calls from Mr. Chuan. He had been asking if you are going to be busy in the next few weeks. He wanted to schedule a visit and have dinner with you and Taehyung."

"He should have called me."

"He said... he does not want to disturb your rest. Moreover, he only wanted to know if you are going to be free. So he called me instead." Irene explained.

"Alright... I guess I would have sometime after I cross the first trimester two weeks from now. Book an excellent restaurant for dinner."

"I understand." Irene nodded. She glanced at Lisa as she wondered why Jennie seemed to be in a poor mood this morning. She wondered if it was because they fought or... it was because of the coffee. She shook her head inwardly. Maybe being pregnant would make someone more unpredictable. The thought of pregnancy instantly made her cringe.

This is the reason why Irene would never want to become pregnant.

"President... there is also something that Cathy and Taehyung discovered in social media just yesterday. I figured... you needed to know this." She handed Jennie the tablet that was showing a screenshot of a social media post. "Taehyung created a..." she made a deliberate pause. "Like a program that would detect Chen Shi's image once posted on any social media platform. He is uh... very adamant that we create something like this for the people who offended you in the past."

Jennie furrowed her brows. She narrowed her eyes at the photo before giving the tablet to Lisa that was sitting opposite to her. Chen Shi and Qi Xia? That is an unexpected collaboration, however... the man sitting next to Qi Xia is a different story.

"Where did he get this?" Lisa asked. Yesterday, he and Jennie spent the entire day lazing around while watching movies. Since he does not want to be disturbed by any random call, he put his phone on silent and discovered that he missed a call from Taehyung last night.

"An attendant working in a restaurant posted it. The images were taken down a few hours after it was posted. f course it was already too late. It was obvious that she took it without their consent."

"Zhou Huifang? I thought his father and sister took care of him and convinced him that Zhou Kang is the evil one?" Jennie asked Lisa. "What is he trying to do now?"

"He always thought he would inherit the company after his father." Lisa said. "I will tell his father about this matter."

Jennie pursed her lips before she nodded. Chen Shi, Qi Xia, and Zhou Huifang are people from different industries. Aside from business prospects, the only reason that those three are seeing each other is because of Jennie and Lisa. Slowly Jennie rested her elbow on the table as she started twirling her hair around her finger.
