The CEO's Woman

Chapter 15 - Awakening

Later that night, nancy talked to her parents about her plans over the phone.

her father was quite satisfied with this daughter of his. she is very smart and cunning. He is proud of his daughter for being independent.

CL, however, feels impatient. The National Exams is more than a month away. They couldn't wait that long.

They need to get close to Jennie as soon as possible.

After Wonbin left to his study, CL dialed her phone to call someone.

She heard three rings before the person on the other line answered.

"What do you want?" She heard the man say. His voice laced with impatience.

"I want you to do something to Jennie." She answered.

There was a long silence before she heard the man's voice again.

"How much damage do you want?"

"Just enough to put her in the hospital for a few days. And- I want it as soon as possible." She said.

"Got it. Send the payment to my account."

"No- No payment this time. I want you to do this for your daughter. Our daughter. » CL said as she tried to suppress her feelings. This is just the second time that she initiated contact with this man after she gave birth. First was when she asked him to do something about Wang Rou, Jennie's mother.

She heard a chuckle on the other line. « CL... ah... CL. You are still as dumb as ever. Did a donkey hit your head?" Then she heard him laugh, this time his voice is full of mockery. "Say... what would WonBin do if he discovered that nancy is not of his blood? Hm?"

"No don't. Please don't. I will send the payment tomorrow. I- just don't do something that will harm my daughter." CL said as she gripped her phone. Her knuckles turning white.

"Let me remind you about something ... I never cared about your daughter. I only care about the money. " He said before cutting off the line without waiting for her reply.

CL gritted her teeth as she tossed her phone over her bed. That man is so hateful. He never cared about his daughter. All he cares about is the money that she sends him monthly to keep his mouth shut.

she knows that she couldn't just kill the man yet, he is very cunning. He always kept some insurance, in case something happens to him. This man has become her bane. He is CL's greatest fear.

But she doesn't need to think of this man for now. What she needs is to create an elaborate plan to hook Jennie.

...

Despite the silence in her house, Jennie was not feeling any discomfort. In fact, she felt quite relaxed.

she was lying on her king-sized bed while thinking about the events these past few days. She just finished a call to her cousin Mino. She asked her cousin to gather a specific group of people for her. People with specific expertise.

She knows that the Wang family had their own little army to protect them. But she wants to create a little group of her own to take care of her little problems. She wanted to grow as an individual. Jennie knows that she couldn't depend on the Wang Family forever.

Jennie let out a long sigh as she continues staring at the wall above her. She really couldn't do anything without the Wang Family. In her previous life, she died at the age of 24, turning 25. But she realized that, at that age, she really didn't know a lot of things.

After her mother's death, she felt she knew a lot. But it seems that with each passing year, she was a lot less clear about most of it.

She realized that she died not knowing most of anything. She was too focused on scheming and competing with her sister that she didn't notice what was happening around her. Or maybe at that time, she really didn't care about it.

Even after living a quarter of a century, she realized that she was still so naive. She always thought that if she avoided all those people from her past, then she will be at peace. She even made new friends and associated herself with the people that truly like her. Yet, fate has a funny way of doing things.

She couldn't just watch those people cause chaos in her life. She is still determined to avoid them, but if they insist on doing something then she won't be merciful as well. And to succeed she needs her own army. She will create her own empire to protect her.

This realization is her awakening. What transpired today is the catalyst for this decision. And she will do it. This is for herself and for the people that she loves. For the people that she wants to protect in the future.

After having this thought, Jennie gave herself a pat on the back. While she is still building her empire, she needs a diversion. She needs to do something about the people that could easily ruin her while she is still vulnerable. She will start with Kai.

As the campus student president, Kai had the biggest influence not just to the students but also to the teachers. She needs to keep Kai busy for a while so he will forget about creating trouble for her.

Jennie walked to the study table across her bed. She opened her laptop and started typing a series of complicated codes.

If there was one thing that she is an expert of, that is hacking. She had been learning for the past 3 years. She did this because of two reasons. First was because the Wang's had a company that involves a lot of technology. And the second reason was that she really wanted to do the things that she was not able to do in her previous life.

Her fingers flew over the keyboards like her life depended on it. Then after a while, her's lips lifted into an evil smile.

"So, this is what you keep in your laptop. Hmmm... why don't we let everyone know about your dirty little secret? » she thought out loud as she hit enter.

...

The next day, a big scandal hit the student president of an A list secondary school. The student president allegedly sent lewd images and videos to all his email contacts.

People said someone hacked his computer. Some even called him a pervert.

In the background, Jennie was watching as the teachers ran to the headmistress' office for an emergency meeting. She was quietly sipping her iced coffee while enjoying the show.

Of course, the student president that was mentioned in the rumors was Kai. And the culprit was Jennie. But no one knows that.

Well, except for one other person. The person who was always watching her.
