The CEO's Woman

Chapter 184 - Threat

"What do you mean?" Wang Mino asked, his brows furrowed. "That is not possible. It was just a week ago. Eight days to be exact."

"I don't know but she wants to get into your office to 'surprise' you." Jennie shrugged, her mind already calculating all the possible reasons why someone from the Manoban Family would do this to her cousin.

"I already called Lisa .He is on his way here. He said he needs to tell us something." She added.

"Why do you think someone from the Manoban Family would do this to me?" Wang Mino asked. .

"Ahhh... because you are the easiest one to fool?" she said before laughing. "Look at your innocent face and your honest mindset. Did you even suspect that you were drugged?"

"Of course I did... but she is Lisa's cousin. Why would she do that to me?" Wang Mino reasoned. "Hey! Stop looking at me like that, I seriously thought it was an accident."

"Accident or not, it is still very suspicious. Did you even dig into it? Maybe ask someone to do some research about her?"

"I did. She came out clean. She had studied abroad and just got back a year ago to help with the Manoban Conglomerate chain of oil companies."

"Naive. You should think better than that. I thought we came from the same genes. Why are you so dumb? Did a donkey kick your brain or something?"

"You think so?" Wang Mino asked his hands on his chin. He was seriously considering Jennie's words. Maybe a donkey did kick his brain. Or maybe... just maybe, he also took a liking to Manoban Xiaolan.

"Of course! If you do not stop your naive ways then you will be the weakest link of the Wang Family and will always be the target. You should seriously consider my words." she nodded.

Now that he thought about it, Jennie was telling the truth. Although he was quite good looking, he still looked like someone in college if he did not wear a suit. Aside from this, his mental strength was also the weakest in the family. Compared to the rest of his family, he was undoubtedly the weakest link of the Wang Family.

Who would have known that Jennie's simple words would greatly affect Wang Mino's attitude? Years from now, people would ask why CEO Wang became so cold when he used to be so sweet and polite to everyone. No one would know that because of Jennie's words, Wang Mino would change himself and grow into someone people feared.

After a few more minutes of waiting, Lisa joined the duo and told them about what his parents had told him about his uncle.

"Why did they not inform me about this the moment I returned? Jennie directed this at Lisa. She hated the fact that she was not aware of a possible scheme. She hated the fact that she was not able to warn her cousin ahead of time.

"We did not know that Mino had already slept with her. We already warned Grandfather and Uncle about this and I thought... Maybe I could do something about this before they could approach Him. I did not know that they already did." Lisa explained.

"So... they are targeting Mino to divide the power of the Wang Family between you and your cousin?" Jennie asked after she heard Lisa's explanation. This time, the damage had been done. There was no point in blaming anyone or delving into the reasons why they did not let her know. Aside from this, she had just returned Her grandfather and uncle must have thought that it would not be nice to welcome her with problems.

"Something like that. My uncle feared that I would outshine his son. He has always wanted his son to challenge me for the patriarch position." he explained.

"Challenge? How can they do that? You already had your training, right?" Wang Minghua asked.

"Well... after my father gives me the position, my cousin still has 12 hours to challenge me."

"What are these challenges exactly?" Jennie's asked. She would be the future matriarch so she should know these things.

"Martial arts then the board of directors will vote who they think will manage the company better. Those two will be done in the next twenty-four hours after the challenge."

Both Jennie and Wang Mino nodded. Some influential families would still do these kinds of contests for the patriarch position to make sure that they would have the best patriarch of the new generation. Luckily, the Wang Family was not one of those ancient families who still practiced this.

"If that is the case then I am sure that this is just the start." Jennie started. "I am sure that they deliberately drugged Mino to ask him to take responsibility for this pregnancy. What I want to know is why she wants to have access to your office..."

"NO!" Jennie suddenly exclaimed. "Why would she deliberately let me hear their conversation? As if... As if she wanted me to know that something happened."

Lisa drummed his fingers on the table, his face focused. He wanted to know why his uncle's family would do such a thing. They must be really desperate for power.

Since the trio could not find an answer, they decided to just go home and think about a solution before talking to Wang Huo and Wang Guiren on the next day.

However, Jennie and Jennie's peaceful sleep was interrupted by two phone calls. The first one informed Jennie that someone had made a malware for her new game, and the second call was to inform Lisa that JRJ Publishing was having problems.

"You're going? Can you not at least wait for the sun to rise?" Jennie asked while glancing at the time. It was currently half past one in the morning.

"It's an emergency, love. I have to go." Jennie raised an eyebrow at Lisa's new way of addressing her. Love? Was that not too cheesy?

"You do not like it?" he asked after seeing her reaction.

"It is fine." she answered before walking towards her closet. "Wait for me downstairs. I am coming with you."

Jennie ignored the questions in Lisa's eyes as she changed her clothes.

She could not help but frown. She had a bad feeling about everything that was happening. Two problems on the same night?

To some people that might just be a coincidence, however, to Jennie this was unusual.

She knew that something was definitely fishy about all this, however, she could not quite put her hands on it.

Her instincts were never wrong. Jennie did not know what was wrong yet, but she could feel it looming over her family.

All she knew for now was that another threat was coming. And a threat should be disposed of.
