[1] The Warm Breeze is not as Warm as You

Chapter 175: In the Dark Corner...

Especially when Irene suddenly saw Jennie, she stared at her with red eyes as if being stimulated, and then turned and came straight to Jennie.

Before Jennie had noticed Irene's motion, Lisa had quietly drawn her behind him and shielded her with his body.

"Jennie? Why are you here?" As if not seeing anyone else, Irene stared at Jennie.

Irene was about to go up to her when Lisa's cold and indifferent voice rang. "Elder Bae, what do you mean?"

"Irene has been cooped up at home since she was frightened last time. Now it's Spring Festival, and we can't keep this child in the room all day. As her best friend, Suzy took her to this dinner party for relaxation. You know, she suffers a mental illness, so if we take her to places where there are a lot of people maybe she can get better," Elder Bae said all smiles.

Mental illness?

No wonder Irene looked so strange. It turned out that she had a mental illness, but Irene could still speak out her name. Did Lisa or Sehun do something to Irene because of what Irene did to her? She knew they would surely take revenge on her, but what kind of revenge had frightened her into this state?

She had lost at least ten pounds, and she looked so pale and frightened, which couldn't be faked. Obviously, she was indeed ill.

Jennie didn't come forward but, standing behind Lisa, looked pensively at Irene, who kept staring at her as her eyes grew redder and redder.

"Come on, Irene, Miss Kim just came to attend this dinner party. Let the past be the past. She won't do anything to you anymore. Don't be afraid." Suzy took Irene's hand, coaxing her in a voice that was loud enough to be heard by everyone present, looking like a good sister who doted on her poor little cousin.

The people present were all surprised at what she said.

No one knew why Irene suddenly became like this, but from what Suzy said, it seemed that Irene became ill because of Jennie. Irene was scared of Jennie. It was known to everyone that the Bae family was very powerful. Irene was a member of the Bae family. So, was it because of Jennie that Suzy lost her fiancée, and Irene was driven mad?

In an instant, everyone gave Jennie strange looks while she glanced expressionlessly at Suzy, who took Irene into the crowd. She didn't expect that Suzy would take Irene here. What was the point for her to do these meaningless things?

Lisa suddenly tightened his grip of her hand as if trying to comfort her. Jennie couldn't help cracking a smile at him, ignoring those strange stares.

Then, Irene, who had just been taken away, suddenly looked back and stared crazily at Jennie.

Jennie withdrew her gaze from Irene and asked Lisa in a low voice behind him, "What's wrong with her?"

Lisa tightened his grip of her hand again and looked back at her. "Let's leave earlier tonight. We'd better not stay here for long, okay?"

Jennie nodded, and Jisoo, standing beside her, said to her in a voice that only she and Lisa could hear, "You were kidnapped in Busan last time, which was planned by Irene. The Bae family used to be connected with the underworld, so she dared do that to you and cooperated with that night cellar owner to kidnap you. After she was sent back to the US, Sehun had K and his brothers teach her a lesson, and she has been like this since then."

Jennie looked at Lisa and then at Jisoo. "So, what did K and his men did to Irene?"

"They just paid her back in kind. They drugged and kidnapped her. She was beaten, threatened, and sold to an underworld bar of the American black market. She was bought by three men and tortured by them for several days. When the Bae family had the police save her, she was in the brink of death."
