The Villain's Wife (Book 2)

214

When Jennie woke up again, it was already nine in the morning. Lisa had tried to wake her up around eight but she refused to leave their bed. In the end, Lisa had told her that he would leave ahead of her as he had a meeting scheduled at nine.

After having breakfast she went to the Facci Group first to tell Taehyung about the oil company. She also wanted to ask about his trip to London and his experience in the Arison Family's Company. It was just another uneventful morning for Jennie.

"So he called you just to ask if you knew about Su Ma's incident?" Jennie wanted to laugh at Chuan's stupidity. "Did he tell you he married her?"

As expected, Taehyung frowned. "He married her?"

"Of course he did. They already got their marriage certificate and are planning the wedding for next year."

"He is crazy." Taehyung turned to his computer. "So that Su Ma came here to frame you? How bold."

"And stupid. I mean... If I wanted her dead, I would not do it in Seoul just after she met with me. Does she think I'm crazy or worse, stupid?"

"She probably thought you would have a pretty bad reaction during that meeting. She was banking on the fact that you were upset last time. Maybe she was hoping you would lose your cool and slap her? If that happened, she would give her a reason to cry in front of Chuan. And... it would make you an instant suspect in this incident."

"Hmmm..." Jennie nodded. Obviously, that must be the thing Su Ma had hoped would happen. However, she reacted differently. Su Ma knew she wouldn't have another chance to try and frame Jennie, so she still went through with her initial plan.

"Stupidity at its finest." Taehyung uttered. "That woman... must have thought that Chuan would immediately lash out on you- "

"He did." Jennie interrupted him. "He went to see me just this morning and asked me if I was the one responsible."

"He did?" When Jennie nodded, Taehyung continued. "Is he insane? Does he really think you are dumb?" Disbelief flashed in his eyes. "Does he think our world revolves around his life? Does he really think we care so much about his woman?" Displeasure laced his tone.

"So... I decided to cut him off. From now on... I don't want anything to do with him." Jennie shrugged. She does not need to surround herself with unhappy and unlucky people. After all, emotional distress was an infectious disease.

"And he agreed?" He asked.

"Does he even have a choice?" Jennie snorted. "He already made his choice when he came to my house and asked me if I was the one responsible for that incident."

"Well... unfortunate people only draw misfortune towards themselves. You are pregnant, it is only right to avoid them." Taehyung nodded. "Is Su Ma still alive?"

"Hmmm." Jennie nodded. "Lisa told me they got blood and some other DNA samples from Su Ma. They will compare it to Chaerin's daughter, Nancy's DNA just for evidence. Of course, we won't give it to Chuan."

"Did you tell Chuan about Chaerin though?"

"I did. Then I said my goodbyes." She nodded before continuing. "That Su Ma is following someone's orders. There is no way she had the brains to even think about this scheme. My guess is... there is still something wrong with her body, maybe she needed another surgery. So they used this opportunity to do that."

"Who are they?"

"No idea." Jennie shrugged. "I am only guessing, for now. It won't take long before I find out who is responsible for all this." Narrowing her eyes, Jennie continued. "And when I find them, they will face my retribution."
