Lisa instructed someone coldly. "Lock her away. Interrogate her about the stranger's appearance and locate her down!"
"Yes, sir."
...
In the Manoban family's old mansion's exquisite, Chinese-style garden, Jennie was in the midst of a chess game with Elder Manoban.
However, she was in no way an opponent to the Elder.
She always ended up in a defeat mid-way. After losing another round, Jennie scrunched her beautiful face into a fierce look. "I'm not going to play anymore. Grandfather keeps bullying me!"
"In that case, Grandfather shall give into you in the next round?" Chongshan stroked his beard with a smile.
Everytime he played chess with his grandson, he would lose. But everytime he played with his granddaughter-in-law, he would regain those victories. It truly left him in a good mood.
Jennie's chess skills weren't actually poorer than the elder. She was losing to him intentionally to make him happy. "Who needs you to give into me?"
"Alright, alright. In that case, you'll have to work harder." Elder Manoban was in an extremely good mood. "Who knows, you may beat this old man one day."
"Hmph." She intentionally responded. "One day, I'll definitely win."
The elder brought his phone out to check the time. "Didn't Lisa say that he would be back by this time? Why isn't he home yet?"
Right after he spoke, a black SUV drove into the old mansion's yard.
Lisa alighted from the car and approached them with a frigid cold appearance.
His vicious gaze gave them the false illusion that they were surrounded by typhoons. A layer of frost seemed to have crystalised the area.
All the helpers were left scuttering away in fright.
"Lisa..." Elder Manoban had begun.
Lisa's expression was dark as he took hold of Jennie's wrist. He then began dragging her towards the main building.
His harsh grip left her in pain. She frowned and tried to escape his hold. "What are you doing?"
"Hey, what are you doing to my granddaughter-in-law?" Elder Manoban tried to follow them in worry. However, Lisa turned back and shot him a cold look in warning. "Don't interfere!"
His murderous gaze made it impossible for the elder man to continue.
Jennie wasn't sure what happened either. Nonetheless, she rushed to comfort him. "Grandfather, I'm alright."
She did not continue to struggle for fear that the old man would worry and followed Lisa obediently into the old mansion.
Lisa dragged her up to the third storey. The moment the room door was slammed shut, he tossed her onto the bed.
He then pressed her down.
Jennie hit his chest. "Lisa, you've gone mad. What are you doing!"
The murderous intent in Lisa's gaze worsened. He gritted his teeth. "Jennie, I told you before. If you betray me, you'll die!"
She understood that his rationality was being controlled by his anger. She immediately agreed. "Fine."
Her response was decisive and it left Lisa startled for a moment.
He took in her bright, open gaze. It was completely unfazed.
His enraged mind suddenly quietened. This was because his thoughts were softly beginning to speak up for her. There was no way she would betray him...
In their previous life, the more enraged he was, the more Jennie went against him.
This time, however, she did the exact opposite. She lifted her small, fair hands and held his cheeks. "Even if you want me to die, you should at least let me understand why, right?"
The anger that was dissipating in Lisa's gaze immediately re-ignited.
He brought his phone out and played a recording of a conversation between a man and a woman:
"Mr. Kim, I'm so sorry. I told Madam about the things that happened between Miss Jennie and you." A middle-aged woman's voice could be heard.
"What do you mean?" It was Sehun's voice.
