Chapter 54: The Lisa When He Was Young

The sound of the door opening behind her interrupted Jennie’s train of thought. When she saw that it was Lisa, she immediately stood up and asked, “How’s Grandpa doing?”

“Not very optimistic. I reckon he can’t take any more blows.” Lisa gently gripped Jennie’s shoulders with both hands and sat on the bench with her.

“It’s all my fault.” Jennie lowered her head and sighed lightly.

“I just told Grandpa that we’re going to get a divorce. Grandpa was very angry and said that we definitely can’t get a divorce.” Lisa pretended to look at Jennie with innocent eyes.

Old Mr. Manoban actually did not agree to the divorce. Jennie was puzzled. Logically speaking, when she first married into the Manoban family, she relied on the little life in her stomach.

Now, he already knew that this was all fake. Shouldn’t he ask her to leave the Manoban family as soon as possible, like chasing away the plague?

“So, even if it’s for the sake of Grandpa’s health, we can’t get a divorce.” Lisa ignored the puzzlement in Jennie’s eyes and continued.

“That won’t do, right? We’ll have to divorce sooner or later.” Other than feeling puzzled, Jennie didn’t forget to retort.

“Then go and tell Grandpa. In any case, I don’t dare to challenge Grandpa’s health anymore.”

You’re ruthless. Old Mr. Manoban had entered the hospital because of her. Jennie already felt very guilty. At this moment, she naturally couldn’t open her mouth to mention the divorce in front of him. Lisa’s move was really lethal.

“We can’t get a divorce for the time being, but we have to live separately.” Jennie did not want to owe others anything in her life. She had already spent too much of Lisa’s money when she lived in the Manoban Residence recently. Even if she wanted to pay it back, the other party would not accept it. Thus, she could only stop it in time.

“We can’t live separately.” His tone was resolute and decisive as ever.

“I don’t want to spend more of your money. I live at your house for nothing, it’s like I’m like your daughter.”

She is like Lisa’s daughter, isn’t it? As soon as she entered the Manoban family, he made swings and toys for her. After the college entrance examination, he looked for schools and checked her results. When he found out that she was the top scholar of the college entrance examination, he bought various gifts as a reward. Wasn’t he raising her as his daughter?

Lisa remained silent for a while before saying, “For the sake of my grandfather, you’ll cooperate with me and not divorce for the time being. I’ll naturally have to pay you. Food and accommodation will be in order, and it’s just nice. Besides, my grandfather has spies at home now. If we don’t live together, we definitely can’t hide it from him.”

There were spies too? As expected of a big family, they even had spies.

However, Lisa was indeed a career maniac. His daily life was filled with the law of labor.

Jennie, who had been persuaded by Lisa, nodded obediently. She then entered the ward to look at her grandfather worriedly and promised him over and over again that she would never divorce him.

It was already nine thirty in the evening before Lisa brought Jennie back to the Manoban Residence.

Butler Zhang, who was called by Old Mr. Manoban to accompany her, was already waiting by his bed.

“Why must Butler Zhang go?” Jennie muttered softly.

“Because he’s Grandpa’s spy,” Lisa replied casually.

Everything was like flowing water. It was only when Old Mr. Manoban slowly spoke about the past that the curtains to the dark night were drawn.

It turned out that Lisa’s father, Lisa's father, the old master’s eldest son, was the greatest pride and pain in his life.

Lisa's father was definitely an outstanding talent, a hot figure in Seoul City. He was young and promising, with a handsome appearance. When he was just twenty years old, he had already become his father’s right-hand man.

The father and son had worked together to bring LM Corporation, which was already at its peak, to another level, establishing its absolute king status. Even after more than thirty years, the corporations that followed behind him could only slightly catch up to him despite trying their best.

Just as Old Mr. Manoban was about to hand over all the matters in the corporation to Lisa's father, he fell in love with an ordinary university biology teacher named Jiang Han without any hesitation.

He even gave up the arranged marriage between the families for her. In a fit of anger, the old master announced that he would either choose her or quit the Manoban family and sever all ties with him.

Unexpectedly, the stubborn Lisa's father really gave up on the Manoban family’s wealth and status and was willing to live a peaceful life with Jiang Han. The two of them had a good relationship and gave birth to Lisa not long after they got married.

Six years later, the couple brought Lisa to the beach to play. They did not expect to encounter a storm. In the midst of a storm, the family of three was kidnapped.

At that time, Lisa's father knew that his wife’s so-called biological teacher identity was just to hide from others. She was actually a high-level researcher at the National Research Institute and had participated in the Xuanyuan Seven project.

And their entire family suffered this disaster because the villains wanted to snatch the Xuanyuan Seven reagent from Jiang Han.
