Pampered Wife's Counterattack | Book 4

610.Show-off

Although Nancy’s words were casually spoken, Lisa understood her hint that she was not good enough for Jungkook.

She picked up one of the teacups on the table and took a sip of the piping hot tea. The taste was faintly sweet and its scent lingered in her mouth. This was the taste of a premium grade Bi Luo Chun Tea.

“Good tea,” Lisa murmured. She had no intention of responding to Nancy.

However, Nancy did not notice this. A hint of arrogance flashed past her expression. “By the way, you should really congratulate me.” She continued on her own. “As the Jeon family’s adopted daughter, though my position is valuable for its affiliation with the Jeon family, I do not actually have any blood relations with them. To my surprise, a while ago, my relatives finally located me. I really did not expect myself to be Bruschweiler Group’s old director’s granddaughter…”

The meaning of her words was clear. She was hinting that she was a good match for the Jeon family.

Lisa lifted her brows as she took her words in.

In her previous life, she had never noticed that this woman’s feelings for Jungkook were this obvious.

In fact, Jungkook was an extremely outstanding man. It was normal for Nancy to fall for her cousin who had no blood relations with her.

However, though they were both from the Jeon family, Lisa knew very well that they were not actually familiar with each other.

This was because Jungkook had lived in a different villa with his parents when he was young. Ever since he became an adult, he had lived in the Yu Ting Villa independently.

Mingyu and Nancy on the other hand, had lived with their parents.

Thus, the two Jeon families only met on rare occasions at the Jeon family’s old mansion.

Nancy chattered on relentlessly. To her surprise, Lisa did not give her any response whatsoever. With her intelligence, she naturally understood that Lisa was intentionally ignoring her.

The silence was awkward for a moment and a hint of rage flashed past her seemingly composed gaze.

If this had been anyone else, they would have rushed to flatter her the moment they realised that she was the Bruschweiler Group’s successor.

How could they possibly ignore her?

“Do you dislike my identity as the Bruschweiler family’s granddaughter?” The valuable identity drew a lot of envy. The ruined Lee family had no way of comparing against her. Nancy wanted to see the self-hatred in Lisa’s expression. To her surprise, Lisa remained indifferent. There was no way of telling how she actually felt.

“That’s true, you’re the future Madam Jeon. Of course…” Nancy wanted to continue.

Lisa lost her patience and cut her off. “You’re also a well-educated individual. Don’t you feel any shame in asking a stranger to congratulate you?”

She then asked in amusement. “Or could it be that you’re intentionally taking advantage of your status as the Bruschweiler Group’s granddaughter to mock me?”

Nancy was clearly doing so. But, of course, she refused to admit to it. “How could that be? You’re thinking too much.”

She wouldn’t be as foolish as Lee Liyin and her daughter. Their ambitions were painted all over their faces.

In the past, she had secretly kept tabs on the Fang family’s situation.

Initially, she had assumed that Lee Liyin and Eunha would deal with Lisa. This way, she wouldn’t have to spare any effort on this.

To her surprise, the mother and daughter were completely useless. One had ended up dead and the other had been sentenced to lifetime imprisonment. They were truly rubbish!

What was more upsetting was that Lisa had actually successfully lost weight. She even regained her stunning appearance. This left her completely frustrated.

Nancy fell into deep thought. She refused to participate in a battle without guaranteed success. She managed her expression and pointed at a short distance away. “Look, they’re here!”

Around the corner, an extravagantly dressed middle-aged woman could be seen approaching them. She was supporting an elderly man in his sixties. The man was dressed in a Chinese-style white shirt.
