The Villain's Wife (Book 2)

"Homemade French fries are the best, aren't they?" Jennie said after drinking her tea. "You should make more of this instead of making me eat dried fruits everyday."

"Though I used an air fryer to make this, it does not mean you can have it all the time. This is healthier than the ones you buy outside but as you said... too much of anything is not good." He replied as he took the empty tray away from her.

"Hmmm." She nodded. At this point, arguing with Lisa about her food was useless. She knew the other won't budge when it comes to her health. Not that she hated it.

Jennie knew she could be difficult sometimes and she was thankful she had someone like him by her side. Unconsciously, Jennie held her stomach. A smile blossomed on her face. Her stomach was getting bigger and bigger everyday. Right now, it was a little visible. She was sure everyone would notice her pregnancy if she wore something that hugged her body.

"I have assigned my men to follow Chen Shi around. Also... it seems our people who have been following Madam He noticed other people following her. Do you know anything about this?" Lisa asked.

"Hmmm. I knew someone might be trying to hurt her."

"Hurt her? The Liu's?"

"We will know soon." She smirked. She had already stirred the waters. The Liu's and He's were already in chaos right now. She would soon know if someone from the Liu Family was indeed following Madam He around.

"You seem to be concerned about Madam He."

"I'm not." She shrugged as the sound of thunder shook the Earth. Jennie instantly looked outside, only to see bolts of lightning exploding from the sky. It was soon followed by strong winds and the loud hammering of rain.

The fact that someone was following Madam He was not surprising to her. Initially, she thought it could be Gannon as the latter knew Madam He had met with Jennie before Adalind's surgery. To test this, Jennie decided to stir the waters to catch the fish.

With Taehyung's help, it was easy for Jennie to cause a rift between Mr. He, Mr. Liu and Gannon. Jennie's purpose was really simple. She wanted Mr. He to protect Madam He.

How, you ask?

Mr. He was a known personality in the business industry. He was a very prideful person. Discovering his wife cheated on him was such a big slap to his face. However, this man would never hurt Madam He. He would not dare put his name and reputation at risk just because of a cheating woman. Instead, he would make sure that she is kept safe until the divorce is finalized.

It was quite simple. If something happens to Madam He, the only person that could be the prime suspect is of course, her husband who just discovered she was cheating on him. Mr. He knew this. And no matter how much he hated his soon to be ex wife, he could not just throw away everything because of his anger.

Jennie knew the man was too prideful to even lay his hands on someone who he deemed as dirty. He would never hurt Madam He. Instead... he would protect her.

Mr. He knew this scandal could potentially ruin Gannon's career. This could end him.

To avoid this, the obvious action was to silence Madam He first. Now, this was something that Mr. He would never allow. In his eyes, Madam He was already smeared, dirty. He would not allow his sacred name to be involved in this woman's death!

Don't get Jennie wrong. She is not doing this out of guilt nor pity. She is doing this because she honestly thought Madam He... is a good ally, a pawn in her game. The booming sound of thunder interrupted her thoughts.

"Taehyung is clueless sometimes." She used Lisa's arm as a pillow as she snuggled closer. The rain outside seemed to intensify. "He honestly thought I was evil. I mean... it's true. But he is smart enough to know I have underlying goals in everything that I do." She grumbled.
