The CEO's Woman

Chapter 20 - Motives

Silence enfolds the area as everyone waited for the doctor to say something.

Jennie is staring at Lisa. Her eyes are full of questions. She wanted to know why this guy is here.

Lisa seemed uncomfortable from her gaze. He clenched his jaws and stare at the doctor. Trying to shake off his uneasy heart.

"Her vitals are all good. You can check her out of the hospital as soon as she is ready." The doctor said before stepping out to give the family members the room to themselves.

After the doctor left, the atmosphere becomes even weirder..

"Why are you here?" Jennie broke the silence as she continues to glare at Lisa.

Lisa  didn't say anything he just fixed his gaze into her

"Grandfather, why did you let this man get close to me? He is an impostor." Jennie chided. "He is pretending to be Young Master Manoban from the Manoban family, you couldn't have fallen into his tricks..." She stopped speaking as she fixed her gaze into her grandfather.

"Unless...unless he is Young Master Manoban?" She finished her own sentence. Her eyes widen from the sudden realization. This is wrong. Young Master Manoban is a sickly young man. Why would he approach her at the museum? More importantly, why would he stay with her in the hospital?

« Lisa, go home, I will take care of this." Her uncle said, imploring him to leave. Even Wang Hou is not clear about the situation. He has no idea how to explain to Jennie about Lisa manoban's presence.

They couldn't just say that he already asked her grandfather to marry her? Could they? Jennie seemed to think Lisa is impersonating himself. Does that mean that she didn't know him before? Then why would he want to marry someone he doesn't know?

Lisa didn't say anything. He understood Wang Hou. He just nodded then he gives Jennie another glance before strutting his way out of the room.

"So? Can someone tell me why Young Master Manoban is here alone with me? Crying? While I'm unconscious?" Her question startled everyone in the room. Sensing the questions in their minds Jennie smiled and rolled her eyes.

"Yeah. I heard you. Even when I'm unconscious, I heard all of you. Including him." She acknowledges what everyone was thinking.

« Manoban came to talk to me and your uncle last weekend." Her grandfather started. "He asked us not to set any engagement for you, at least for the next three years." He didn't mention him asking to marry her. He didn't want his granddaughter to know that. Not now.

"Engagement? Why would he do that? We only met once." Jennie furrowed her brows in confusion. Young Master manoban asking a thing like that after their first meeting seems... unreasonable. That is the only word that she can use to describe this situation.

"He won't say." Her grandfather answered.

"And did you agree?" She asked.

"I don't see any reason why I should disagree, you are still so young."

Jennie is astounded. She couldn't seem to understand why a guy like Lisa wastes his time meddling about her marriage. Not that she is mad about it. She even felt it was a good thing. Maybe she will thank him later.

She heard someone knock and the door was opened from the outside.

"Master, the Kim's just arrived and they want to see the young miss." She heard Wang Bolin's voice. She felt comforted seeing him. She thought something terrible must have happened to him. She looked at Wang Bolin and saw some bandages in his head. She hoped he only received small injuries.

Wang Guiren let out a sigh as he tears his gaze away from his granddaughter. "Let them in." Someone must have leaked the news to the Kim's. He made a mental note and promised to take care of this leakage soon.

"This is not over." Jennie grumbled at her grandfather. She couldn't help but feel irritated with the timing of these people.

"Jennie. Oh, Thank God you're fine! You made us worried!" CL's high pitched voice immediately got into Jennie's nerves as she wailed and approached her. she looked at the family of three who just entered the room and gave them a half-baked smile only to freeze when she realized that kai came with them.

CL started sobbing while she holds Jennie's hands, patting it like her true mother. Jennie, on the other hand, can't help but feel disgusted by such actions. If she didn't hear CL say such venomous words in her previous life, then she might have believed her now. CL is such an impressive actress. It irritates her.

"You have to come back to the house to have your mother or nancy take care of you. » Wonbin asserted while giving her a stern look trying to establish his dominance. They need to take every opportunity they could get to be close to her. Especially nancy.

« sister father is right. You have to come back, or you can let me stay with you for a few days at your house until you get better." nancy asserted. She can't seem to hide the happiness in her voice. In fact, she is very happy, to say the least. She really can't wait to get 'close' to her sister.

"Junior kim I also think that your father is very reasonable. You should come back and live with the people who can take care of you." kai couldn't help but say something to help convince jennie to live with her parents. After all, he needed to get close to her. And, her living with the kim's will make it easier.

Plus, he already spoke to nancy about his plan. And to his surprise, she already gave him her permission to court her older sister. He is happy that nancy understood his situation.

Jennie's head couldn't help but ache while looking at these people. They just came in without even asking how she is. They even want her to move back to the kim's. Did these people really see her as someone so dumb and easy to manipulate?

She can't help but give them a disgusted look which she quickly masked with a blank face. These people have their own motive for inviting her back. She can't help but think about what she heard. Her accident was planned. If anyone of these people planned that accident, then...she will make sure to reciprocate.
