The Villain's Wife

"I know, right?" Jennie grinned. "You are so lucky." She added before turning towards him. She kissed his lips. "We should go now."

"Hm." He nodded and led Jennie out of their closet. After a couple of minutes, Jennie and Lisa arrived in a hotel where they will have the dinner that Jennie scheduled with her father.

"Call me once you are done." Lisa reminded. Seeing Jennie nod, he leaned forward to give her a kiss. He then instructed Jennie's two bodyguards to keep their eyes on her. After making sure that Jennie reached the restaurant safely, Lisa left to see George.

Meanwhile, Jennie instantly spotted Taehyung standing at the entrance of the restaurant. She smiled. "Why are you standing here?" she asked. "Is he already inside?"

Taehyung's face turned stiff. He stared at Jennie's face for a few seconds before he answered. "He is with someone."

"What do you mean?"

"Let's go." Taehyung said before leading her inside. The moment Jennie spotted her father, the smile on her face vanished as if it was never there in the first place. She stood a few feet away, eyes narrowed at the woman sitting next to her father. She felt her world stopped revolving as she saw the woman's features.

"Taehyung! Jennie!" Chuan instantly beamed when he spotted them. He stood from his seat, smiling. "Come... I want you to meet someone." His cheerful voice woke Jennie up from her stupor.

"Let's go," Taehyung walked alongside Jennie. His face is equally blank as Jennie's expression.

"Everyone please meet my good friend, Miss Su Ma." Chuan's delighted expression only made Jennie more irritated. She sat opposite to the woman named Su Ma and waited for her brother to sit next to her. "She is a voice actress that I met in one of my recent trips. She is also known as..."

"The voice actress who never showed her face in any the public." Taehyung finished his father's statement. "I remember." As someone who spent most of his time with his laptop, he had stumbled upon some forums online about this woman.

Su Ma's face turned red at Taehyung's words. She gave a gentle smile as she stood from her seat and bowed towards the siblings. "Mr. Kim told me a lot about you and your sister. It is my honor to meet you." Her soft voice reached Jennie's ears. She then sat back on her chair and poured some tea to Jennie and Taehyung.

"Please accept this tea. This is the specialty of our restaurant."

"You own this place?" Taehyung asked.

"Yes." Su Ma smiled. "I used all my savings to start this oriental restaurant. After a few years, I got lucky and was able to branch out. Imagine my surprise when Mr. Kim told me that we will have dinner here?"

Su Ma held the tea in front of Jennie, who was still staring at her. "Is there something wrong, Miss Jennie?" she asked, her brows furrowed. "I — Did I say something that made you uncomfortable?" she asked.

In response, Jennie accepted the teacup however, she didn't drink it. Instead, she placed it in front of her. "It's too hot for my tastebuds." It was a silly reason. However, this was the only thing that she could think of at this moment.

Jennie watched as Su Ma nodded and smiled. "Oh... my apologies. I will ask someone to replace it." She then turned towards an attendant and give specific instructions about the tea.

Meanwhile, Jennie only stared at the woman's features that were clearly identical to her late mother, Bec Facci's face. The woman was obviously shorter than her mother. This Su Ma was about 5'1 or 5 feet tall while her mother was 5'4.

Ideas — various ideas swirled in Jennie's mind.

"Jennie... I am so glad that you were able to attend today." Chuan's voice made Jennie snapped out of her theories. "Miss Irene told me that you are rather busy. So... I was hesitant to come here."
