The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 198: Regrets Can Be A Greater Force Than Gratitude

At Golden Star Entertainment…

Taehyung was still bothered by Lisa's claim that he and Jennie were already married. He knew that it might be one of Lisa's attempts to annoy him to death. He knew that such a thing was possible. And so, he hired a private investigator to check on Lisa's claims, and he was left flabbergasted and in deep shock.

The report that the private investigator had delivered to him today showed that Jennie had really married her childhood friend over a month ago, just weeks after he met the two at President Park' s birthday gala.

His eyes flashed red and the urge to trash everything around him was too much, but he didn't. He forced himself to rein his anger and took calming breaths. Taehyung couldn't believe that Jennie had really moved on from him and chose to be someone else's wife in this lifetime.

He hated that he wasn't able to regain consciousness much earlier, so he could mend and rectify the things the previous Taehyung had done to her. Bitterness filled his entirety as he stared at the official marriage photo of his wife with Lisa.

Damn that Lisa. He had totally taken advantage of Jennie's animosity towards him and lured her into marriage. He'd always known that Lisa had been madly in love with Jennie and hated that the young man refused to move on and leave her alone. Taehyung supposed Lisa didn't want to lose his chance and had decided to marry her when he got the chance.

His assistant came and Taehyung immediately set aside the report he was reading, not wanting anyone to probe on it.

"Miss Bae arrived earlier than the scheduled meeting, should we let her in?" His assistant asked, sensing that Taehyung wasn't in a good mood again. He'd been brooding these days and none of them knew what had upset their boss this time.

Taehyung waved a hand, suppressing a grunt.

"Fine, let her in." He then glanced at the time indicated on the top right of his laptop screen.

Irene had arrived an hour earlier than their scheduled appointment, and it annoyed Taehyung to know that this insufferable woman would just do whatever she wanted and didn't respect him as her superior.

If he hadn't known that this woman was Jennie's birth mother, Taehyung wouldn't be able to stand being in the same place as her. Perhaps Jennie had inherited her domineering attitude and cold beauty from this very woman.

The famous actress sauntered inside his vast office, looked around the gray and minimalistic space before taking a seat on the leather couch. Seeing her like this reminded Taehyung of his wife from his previous life. Irene and Jennie held themselves above others and reveled in the fact that their appearances were above the rest.

However, one significant trait that contrasted between mother and daughter was that while Irene held a reputation for being a goddess, Jennie had purposely embraced her persona as a wicked villainess in everyone's eyes.

"I heard that the script has already been finalized. I want to see it as soon as possible." Irene said in her usual demanding tone.

In public, she was all smiles and gentle, but in real life, her fans would get the shock of their lives if they found out that their goddess was nothing but a cold-hearted selfish bitch. Taehyung narrowed his eyes on her and regarded her for a moment.

He might be stupid, but he wasn't blind. In his previous life, even before he married Jennie, he managed to find out the truth about her birth and identity. From the moment he met Irene the first time, her startling resemblance to his fiancée bothered Taehyung.

Taehyung sighed and opened the top drawer of his desk and took a folder containing the proposed script for the film Irene and Soo Yang would be playing as the lead roles. It somewhat surprised him that Irene had agreed to cooperate for the second time, as she had been enraged during the time she was forced to collaborate with Soo Yang for 'Bellissima'.
