The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 219: Two Sides Of The Same Coin

Jennie sneered at her mother. So in the end, Irene only cared about herself. All the excuses she said earlier were nothing but lies. She was a great actress, after all. If she didn't know any better, she would have fallen for it and believed Irene's lies again.

"I know you wouldn't do it out of kindness." She said mockingly. "Fine. I suppose that is a fair deal. The public won't know about us being related to each other. After this, I hope you will never bring up the fact that I am your daughter ever again."

"Great. It's not like I want everyone to know that you are my daughter." Irene easily agreed with her. No matter what she said now, it was obvious that Jennie wouldn't believe her at all.

Was it really hard to believe that she still had her maternal instincts and wanted to do something for her only child?

The mother and daughter pair stared at each other for a long moment, as if gauging each other. Jennie wanted to see if Irene was telling the truth, but it was hard to tell what the actress was thinking at this moment.

She claimed that she had done it for her sake. That she didn't want to see her crying helplessly. How was she supposed to believe that?

"Then I don't need to waste my time here." Jennie broke the silence, finally able to rein her raging emotions towards her mother. "We don't have anything to do with each other from now on."

"That settles it then." The actress agreed with her and watched as Jennie left with her best friend while Lisa remained.

Irene looked at him curiously. From the moment she met her daughter, this young man was always by Jennie's side. She then thought that Jennie had a strong bond with this man, even before the two had gotten married.

"Is there something you need?"

"Why did you lie to Jennie?" Lisa asked.

The actress let out a low chuckle and shook her head.

"How would you know whether I was lying to her or not?" She asked in return. "I'm an actor. How could you possibly tell I was lying to your wife?"

"Because your eyes don't lie." Lisa replied at once. "You and Jennie share so many things, and that's one of them. She can say the most vicious words with a straight face, but her eyes would never lie, at least to me."

Irene stared at him with widened eyes. That wasn't what she was expecting to hear from her son-in-law.

"How sure are you?"

Lisa didn't respond immediately, but instead looked at her with a straight face.

He knew she was lying because she did what she had done because she was really concerned about Jennie. If not, would Irene have ceased her own life in their previous lives, years after Jennie's death?

Irene wanted her daughter out of showbiz because she knew how vicious people could be. However, she had never known that what she did only pushed Jennie into depression at that time.

If she didn't care about Jennie at all, she wouldn't have stepped forward and donated a part of her organs to Hye Kyo. No matter how harsh her words were, it wouldn't hide her concern over the child she claimed had nothing to do with her.

"You can lie to Jennie and to everyone else, but I wonder how long you would be able to lie to yourself," were Lisa parting words before he left her to find his distressed wife, leaving the actress on her own.

Once her guests were gone, Irene lowered her guard and allowed her tears to flow freely from her face. She sniffed, swallowed hard and started to sob quietly. How can Lisa tell that she was in a state of beyond pain?
