"Get straight to the point!"
"I apologise on Somi's behalf. She shouldn't have caused trouble at your company. It's still a light punishment for her to be detained for three days." Kai watched her in infatuation.
At the thought that she was the director behind the wealthy Jiao Yang Finance Group, his heart was filled with all sorts of unpleasant feelings.
If he had accepted her feelings back then, Jiao Yang Finance Group would be his today!
He recalled Jennie's feelings for him in the past and felt certain that she still loved him.
Thus, he summoned up his courage to confess. "Jennie, I love you!"
Jennie came to a halt. She stared at him in disbelief. Did he take the wrong medicine? Instead of begging for mercy on his sister's behalf, he was actually confessing to her?
Un beknown to them, the first thing Lisa did after finishing his work was to return to the Manoban family's old mansion to inquire about his newly wed wife's whereabouts.
The helper informed him that she was in the backyard and he soon came searching for her.
When Lisa saw that Kai was also present, he paused behind the rock garden. He wanted to see what tricks Kai had to pull.
This foolish thing. He actually dared to confess to his wife. He had to be tired of living!
But then, he recalled the unconcealable feelings Jennie used to hold for Kai.
Although he was fully aware of Jennie's feelings right now, his cold, frozen heart could not help but be unhappy.
"Jennie, I know that you don't love Lisa at all." His gaze was loving. "You only love his power and wealth, don't you?"
Lisa began to feel anxious.
He was deeply afraid Jennie would give an answer that would drive him to murder someone.
"I already have enough money." Jennie's expression was indifferent.
But Kai remained firm. "No one would complain about having too much money. By becoming Madam Manoban, you're able to stand at the highest point of this world. Thus, you're in love with Lisa's money! And the man you actually love is me!"
Jennie smiled mockingly and responded coldly. "Kai, I don't owe you any explanations for my feelings or actions. You're not good enough! Still, as your cousin-in-law, I don't mind telling you this out of the goodness of my heart. I won't deny that I do like Lisa's money."
Hidden behind the shadows, Lisa's expression had turned cold. His body appeared to be covered in a frigid cold layer of frost.
Jennie sensed the piercing gaze from around the corner and could not help but shiver.
Kai lit up with a smile. "I knew it. You're not sincere towards Lisa. You..."
"Stop!" Jennie cut off his wishful thinking. "Let me ask you this first. Setting aside the enormous wealth Lisa possesses, don't you similarly love the Manoban family's money? If you don't like it, why is your family of three still clinging onto the Manoban family?"
"I..." Kai had no way of refuting this.
Jennie's expression was indifferent as she pointed out. "Everyone loves money. Anyone who claims otherwise is always being untruthful. Why did I work so hard to start my own company? To earn money. And what for? It's so that one day, I'll be good enough for Lisa. Lisa is someone who is standing on the highest peak of this world. I would be lying if I claimed I didn't not like his money. However, I love him even more. Compared to him, his money is of no significance to me. I've never desired his money. If Lisa somehow ends up losing all his wealth one day, I would still love him."
Behind the corner, Lisa was deeply moved by her words. This was his wife. She was honest, beautiful and genuine.
