Pampered Wife's Counterattack | Book 4

744.New Trick

Nancy was extremely angry. At the same time, however, she also felt some fear.

She had investigated secretly and learned that Ahin, who was previously locked up in the storeroom, had disappeared. It was as though she had vanished from the face of this earth. It was likely she was already dead.

It seemed like taking a gradual approach against Lisa was no longer a good idea.

She needed to eliminate her with one blow and settle this once and for all.

...

Recently, Lisa felt especially happy everyday.

This was because she had already gone blind in her previous life around this time. In this life, however, her vision remained as sharp as ever.

However, she did not let her guard down.

For her, an extremely life-threatening event would occur at around 5:00 p.m. in the evening today.

Based on her recollections, a servant from the old mansion would soon come to inform her that Jungkook was inviting her to a restaurant outside for a meal.

At that time, she had followed the servant out and in the end, a car sent her flying on the streets. Thankfully, she did not pass away from the event. However, her body was paralysed for the rest of her life.

In her blind and paralysed state, Nancy and her family had criticised her for running about the streets despite being blind.

As she had already offended all the Jeon family's elders by then, aside from Jungkook, no one from the Jeon family supported her.

She even tried to commit suicide twice, but was stopped by Jungkookon both occasions.

Back then, the fake Lee Lilan's identity was not exposed. Eunha had also been safe and well.

Jungkook had made use of the Lee family's safety to threaten her into remaining alive.

In this lifetime, the fake Lee Lilan was already dead. Eunha had also received the punishment she deserved. She had been disfigured and suffered daily beatings in prison.

Lisa's eyes were also unharmed.

Naturally, she also would not allow anyone to land her in that paralysed state once more.

As expected, an unfamiliar maid hurried over to her side and politely said, "Madam, Young Master informed me to take you to 'Imperial Capital' Restaurant for a meal. The table has already been reserved. Would you like to head over there now?"

Lisa leaned back against the reclining chair in the yard. Her gaze was cold as she sized the maid up. "What's your name? What are your duties here? I've been in the old mansion for quite some time now but I've never met you. Look into my eyes and answer my questions!"

The maid did not expect her to ask this. She faltered for a moment before returning her gaze. "I am Ah Cai. I was newly hired to take care of the gardens."

"Who was it that hired you?"

"It was... Butler Jeon."

Lisa brought her phone out and dialled the old Butler Jeon Mingde's number. He responded that he did not hire someone like this.

Ah Cai lowered her head and peeked at Lisa secretly. She wasn't sure what the person on the other end of the call told her. She felt uncertain and flustered.

"Who sent you to harm me?" Lisa asked casually.

A hint of panic flashed past Ah Cai's expression. "Madam, I'm not sure what you're talking about."

"Jungkook is away on a business trip and will only return tomorrow. How could he possibly invite me to dinner?" Lisa smiled coldly. "Moreover, Butler Jeon says that he never hired you."

Ah Cai knew that she was completely seen through and immediately thought to escape. However, her expression suddenly turned slack and her movements became stiff.

"Go on. Change into a new set of clothes and replace Lisa to go meet Jeon Jungkook."

A voice repeated endlessly in her mind.

Ah Cai's gaze was blank as she followed the instructions.

Lisa's gaze was frigid cold as she watched her from behind.

In her previous life, after her accident, Jungkook had sent someone to capture Ah Cai. However, she had stubbornly refused to reveal the person behind the accident even if it meant it would cause her own life.

As for that driver who hit her, he had killed himself on the spot 'out of fear'.

Someone was putting in this much effort to paralyse or even kill her.
