The Villain's Wife (Book 2)

272

Of course, Eliza's nonchalant comment was enough to make Rafa's face turned red in embarrassment. However, he could not react in front of his mother in law. In the end, Rafa gritted his teeth, in anger and shame because of what happened.

After Lian Shi explained the stone, the topic about the diamond slowly died as Harringfort took the opportunity to talk about business instead. In his mind, he still had the chance to embarrass Lisa. So, he started talking about things he did on lavish vacations, skiing, skydiving, and his knowledge about his private plane- things that are very specific and Lisa should not know about.

And he was right. Lisa indeed does not know how to fix his private plane or how to make a yacht. However, Jennie doesn't know about these things either. In the end, the one who asked questions as the quiet Taehyung while Jennie and Lisa started whispering again. This immediately made Harringfort irritated. He was about to open his mouth and call them out for this behavior. Unfortunately, Taehyung was smart enough to ask another question.

In the end, Jennie and Lisa started talking about computations, altitudes, and even velocity. The more Harringfort tried to interrupt the two; the more Taehyung asked him questions upon questions. In the end, the two started talking about gravity.

Because of this, Eliza, Jennie, and Lisa started talking about something else. This completely pissed Harringfort off. However, how could he refuse to answer Taehyung's questions? Was he supposed to tell him to stop asking and make it look like he doesn't know the answer to his questions?

Harringfort would never do something that would ruin his name!

"As I was saying, I was already planning to make another customized plane for myself." He side-eyed Jennie and Lisa. "Of course, I can always find time if one of you here would want me to help them out with their private plane. If you want, I can even give you a tour of the plane and perhaps the yacht."

"So all this time, you were spending your time with your plane?" Jennie suddenly chimed in. Her eyebrow lifted, and for some reason, her gaze was full of contempt and other emotions that he doesn't recognize.

"Yes, I do. I studied- "

"I see." Jennie interrupted him. While Jennie and Lisa talked with Eliza, she was also keeping an eye with this Harringfort. "So... " she turned her head towards Eliza. "Planes..." Smiling, Jennie added. "Do you want me to buy you your own personal one as a gift?"

Eliza's jaw dropped before she laughed. "Oh... no. It's fine. I am not too interested in material stuff. Plus, Levi and I use the country's plane every time we go to different countries. There is no need for us to buy a new one when we can still rely on our old private plane."

Hearing this, the smile on Harringfort's lips vanished. One, Jennie's condescending voice was enough to tell him that his words could not impress her. Two, when she asked Eliza about buying a private plane, her goal was simple. She wanted to know if Eliza wanted to learn about planes for him! And three, Eliza's words about buying a new one when they still have a functioning plane was like telling him that he was too wasteful!

Harringfort had prided himself in reading the meaning behind people's words! How could he miss the meaning behind Jennie and Eliza's words? He gritted his teeth in silence as he wondered about the things that could impress Jennie. Wealth indeed is not one of it.

"I agree." Lisa decided to add fuel to the fire. "Why waste money in collecting such expensive things? Instead of doing this, Jennie and I tend to donate to the people who need help." He gave a jovial smile to Harringfort. "Please... don't take offence. We are all entitled to spend our own money. It's just that we chose to spend it differently."
