They were strolling in the garden when Huang Zhishu hurried over. She urgently said to Elder Manoban, "Father, Somi is in trouble!"
Chongshan raised his eyebrows. "What happened to her?"
Huang Zhishu glanced at Jennie. "Somi accidentally offended the Jiao Yang Gaming Company, which is under the management of the Jiao Yang Finance Group that Jennie owns. Now, she's being detained in the police station!"
A hint of surprise flashed past Chongshan's eyes. "The Jiao Yang Finance Group that has been achieving all sorts of accomplishments in the past two years belongs to Jennie?"
"Yes," Jennie was the one who responded.
"I didn't expect my granddaughter-in-law to be this capable!" Elder Manoban was especially pleased and praised her.
He then shot Huang Zhishu with an unhappy look. "Previously, you even hinted to me that Jennie's identity isn't as valuable as Somi's, as the Lee Group's only successor. I'm sure you didn't expect Jenjen to be this capable. With the Jiao Yang Finance Group's current performance, it's inevitable that it will one day outdo the Lee Group."
He suddenly appeared to have thought of something. "I forgot. Jennie already owns ten percent of the Lee Group's shares. Right now, Jennie can already rely on her own ability to compete with the Lee Group. You say, as an elder, why are you so short-sighted? You insist on comparing your adopted daughter with my granddaughter-in-law. Your adopted daughter is in no way as outstanding as Jennie."
Huang Zhishu's expression was especially poor. It would have been fine if Somi was her adopted daughter, but she was actually her birth daughter!
Her birth daughter was being thoroughly insulted by this damned old man but she was helpless against it. "Yes, yes. But no matter what, Somi is still the Manoban family's adopted daughter! Father, you can't just leave Somi to remain detained in the police station!"
"What exactly did she do? How long will she be detained for?" Elder Manoban had no choice but to ask.
"She accidentally offended Jennie." Huang Zhishu spoke as though to minimize the severity of the matter.
Jennie frowned. "What do you mean by 'accidentally'? She intentionally caused trouble for me, alright?" She then repeated the whole event to the Elder.
Elder Manoban's expression was stern as he reprimanded Huang Zhishu. "Hasn't Somi always known to stay within her boundaries? Jennie is Madam Manoban, yet she still dared to cause trouble at Jiao Yang Gaming Company. In that case, let her remain in the police station for a few days to reflect on her mistakes."
"But, Father... Somi has always been pampered. How would she be able to endure this..." Huang Zhishu was flustered.
"Since she made a mistake, she has to take responsibility for it. There's nothing left for you to say!" Elder Manoban appeared resolute to stick by his decision.
Huang Zhishu backed away obediently. She glanced secretly at Jennie and a hint of viciousness flashed past her eyes.
This cheap whore! It was one matter that she had occupied her daughter's position as Madam Manoban. To think that she even caused her outstanding daughter to be detained. She was angered to death!
Jennie supported Elder Manoban back to his room to rest and then sat down in the backyard to water the sunset.
The sun was nearing the horizon and it painted the sky with its colours. The red, orange and green weaved in between each other... and the late afternoon sky appeared just like an illusion. It was difficult to take one's eyes away from this beautiful sight!
Kai stood behind Jennie and watched as the stunning sunset colours amplified her stunning figure. Her beauty was out of this world!
His heart could not help but skip a beat.
This woman's appearance truly left him astonished.
Kai saw that there wasn't anyone else around. He approached her. "Jennie."
She glanced at him coldly. "Address me as Madam Manoban."
"Jennie, we grew up together. We're childhood friends..."
She could not be bothered with his words and quickly turned to leave. He rushed to stop her. "Listen to me..."
