"You speak as if you've become Madam Manoban." Kai harrumphed coldly. "You're in no position to laugh at me."

He hated that, despite having the surname 'Manoban', his wife would not be addressed as 'Madam Manoban'.

Those people at the Manoban family who refused to die, as well as Lisa, all stubbornly treated him as an outsider.

Somi was provoked into anger by his words. "Kai. you're truly the Manoban family's good-for-nothing! With my status, I'm no longer who I was before. I'm the Lee Group's only successor. I have the Lee group supporting me, but what do you have? In the future, you'll still have to rely on this sister of yours. So, you better speak politely to me!"

Kai was extremely good at adapting to circumstances. He immediately softened his tone. "Alright, provoking each other will only hurt our feelings. Let's save our abilities for dealing with Lisa."

Somi immediately corrected him. "You'll never be Lisa's opponent."

"You shouldn't always exaggerate about other people's abilities and diminish your own!"

"I'm speaking the truth." Somi smirked mockingly. "Besides, my goal is to become Madam Manoban. The person I have to deal with is Jennie."

"That cheap woman clearly doesn't know who she's facing. It isn't a pity even if you kill her." Kai's heart wasn't soft. "If you have a good heart, at least leave her corpse intact?"

Somi released a long breath as her smile turned vicious. "Isn't it easy to kill her? What I plan to do is to ruin her!"

Kai patted her on the shoulder as though to encourage her. He watched as Lisa left, leaving Jennie alone. He indicated to Somi that her opportunity was here.

"Brother, take a guess. How much do you think the three people, who refused to die, put in Jennie's red packets?" A hint of greed flashed past her eyes.

Although she had already become the Lee Group's lady, she had yet to receive a single cent from them.

"You'll know after you take it." Kai instructed her. "Don't forget to split me a portion after you get it."

"You wish." Somi pushed him aside and approached Jennie. She smiled beautifully. "Miss Kim, why are you alone? Where's my cousin?"

She stared at the enormous ring on her finger. It was so bright!

She truly wanted to take it for herself. Unfortunately, she could not afford such a big goal right now.

"He left for a moment." Jennie wasn't clear what he had left for. She noticed that Somi had changed into a different, green dress. "You changed your dress?"

"I'm so sorry for the earlier incident. If I had known, I wouldn't have worn the same style of dress as you did." She disdained wearing the same dress as a woman of a lower status than hers. This would only lower her own noble position.

Jennie responded calmly. "It doesn't matter. You know this as well. It is not about our clothes. Instead... in the Manoban family, you simply don't have the power to stand shoulder-to-shoulder with me."

In her previous life, this woman had secretly humiliated her too much. In this life, she would return it to her bit by bit.

"You..." Somi was enraged.

She glanced at the ring on her finger and suffered another blow. Finally, she could not contain her arrogance. "What do you count for, Jennie? You're but a wealthy lady from a ruined enterprise. Oh, it seems like you're no longer a wealthy lady then. Hasn't your Kim Group closed down already? At most, you're just the Manoban family's leech!"

Jennie's eyes glinted.

Indeed, ever since her mother's body was found, the company her father had created had filed for bankruptcy.

This was because Liyin had made a mess of the Kim Group and borrowed countless debts under the Kim Group's name. It wasn't worth it using a large sum of money to revive this company.
