I'm Secretly Married To a Big Shot [JENLISA] (1)

173-174

Krystal got even angrier when she saw how pitiful her assistant looked. She slapped her once more and growled. "Stop pulling a long face, it upsets me! Get out!"

The assistant dared not rebut as she wiped her tears and left.

Lin Huizhen waited for the assistant to leave before saying with a frown, "Don't be so fierce to your assistant. Aren't you afraid she will expose you one day? You're a public figure, this wouldn't be good for you."

Krystal pouted. "I know her, she doesn't have the guts."

Lin Huizhen wanted to say more, but Krystal cut her off impatiently. "Alright, Mom. I know what to do."

With that, she took her cell phone and made a call. It got through quickly.

Krystal asked coldly, "Have you called Jennie about the substitute role?"

A few seconds later.

"What?!" Krystal clenched her jaw.

"She rejected it?"

A few more seconds passed before she hung up and hurled the cell phone to the ground.

Lin Huizhen was startled. "What's going on?"

Krystal did not say a thing. She simply clenched her fist tightly.

Jennie rejected the substitute role offer. It must be because of that mysterious man.

Jennie could easily reject such a minor, low-paying role with him as her backing.

Krystal felt threatened now. If that man groomed and supported Jennie the way Kai did for herself, wouldn't that little slut have the chance to gain popularity?

Krystal knew very well that Jennie was better than her in all aspects.

She hurriedly changed her tone and politely said, "Ah, I'm sorry. Miss Kim, Mr. Kim hasn't been discharged yet. But he's moved into another ward and is no longer staying here now."

Krystal blinked in confusion. "No longer staying here? Where's he been moved to?"

The nurse glanced at her and thought, He's your brother and you don't even know that?

But she still spoke respectfully. "Mr. Kim moved to the VIP ward in the special zone a while ago."

Krystal's expression changed upon hearing the words "VIP ward in the special zone".

A look of disbelief flashed on her face.

"Are you sure Taehyung moved there?" Since it was a VIP ward in the special zone, then, obviously, not everyone would be able to access it. Not even if they had money.

That zone was reserved for the extremely powerful and influential.

Back when Kai's grandfather was hospitalized, Kai's father couldn't get him into the VIP ward in the special zone no matter how many connections he had.

And Taehyung, a poor boy with no background, could get in?!

But it didn't take her long to figure that it must have been that mysterious man's work again.

She got even more jealous. That man was able to do what even the Kim family couldn't.

Who was he?

What exactly was his background?

She had seen most of the rich and powerful men in Seoul City, but she had no impression of this man at all.

Unless... he had never lived in Seoul City before this?

"I'm going to visit my brother, take me to him." Krystal took a deep breath and ordered the nurse.

But now, the nurse seemed to be getting skeptical of her identity.

"Miss Kim, you can give Mr. Kim a call. He'll tell you which ward he's in."

"What do you mean by that?" Krystal frowned.

"You suspect I'm lying to you?"

"Miss Kim, that's not..."

"I'm Krystal."

Krystal took her shades off and snapped. "Do you still think I'm lying to you now?"

The nurse looked up at her swollen face and got a shock. She looked a little closer and realized that she did look like the celebrity Krystal.

But, how did Krystal's face end up like that?

She seemed to have been beaten up brutally.

And she was actually Taehyung's other sister?

That was even more shocking.

Krystal had been hospitalized for so long, but not once had Krystal visited him.

Back when Krystal received interviews, she had never mentioned having an elder sister and a younger brother.

The nurse was beginning to speculate.

The relationships in this family seemed a little too complex.

Moreover, she used to hear others talk about how approachable and down to earth Krystal was.

But now it all seemed like a false front.

The impatient look she had on the whole time...

wasn't the least bit approachable.

Alas, celebrities had a completely different persona in public that shouldn't be trusted!

........

Krystal was taken to the VIP ward Taehyung was in.

She was stunned when she saw the few bodyguards stationed outside the ward.

The nurse went forward and informed the bodyguards of her identity.

One of the bodyguards sized her up and said coldly, "Wait a moment."

With that, he walked into the ward.

Krystal thought that she could just follow him in, but she was stopped.
