Lisa narrowed his eyes slightly. He appeared nonchalant. "What are you trying to say?"
However, Mark immediately felt an immense, invisible pressure weighing on him. Logically, he knew that considering his boss's love for his wife, he shouldn't say anything bad about her.
However, his loyalty urged him to speak up. "Jennie isn't simple. Should you be a little careful of her?"
"What's there to be careful about?" Lisa lit a cigarette and responded indifferently. "If she desires this life of mine, it has always been hers anyways."
Jennie was coincidentally making her way down the stairs. When she heard these words, a hint of joy flashed past her eyes.
Mark, however, suffered a serious blow. "Boss, if you di... if something happens to you, what will happen to us?"
Lisa was indifferent. "You'll be able to command the entire Hei Xiao, then. Isn't that a pretty good deal?"
"No, no." Mark's expression fully conveyed his 'Thanks, but no thanks' feelings. "I only wish to be a second-in-command. I don't have the ability to lead this group."
Back then, when his Wilson family had met with trouble, it was Lisa who secretly assisted him. Without Lisa, his family would already be in ruins.
Mark had once sworn to remain eternally loyal to Lisa.
Jennie understood that Mark was loyal. She suddenly spoke up. "Mark, don't worry. Lisa is more important to me than my own life. I will never hurt him."
Mark watched her for several seconds. Her clear, open gaze conveyed her sincerity.
At the very least, on the surface, he could not spot any hints of ill-intentions against Lisa. "I hope you'll be able to do as you say."
"Don't worry." She smiled and sat down by Lisa's side.
Lisa began coldly. "In the future, I don't wish to hear any words of suspicion against Jennie again."
"...I understand." Mark nodded helplessly.
He felt that his boss was truly the incapable ruler that the Asians often spoke of. Jennie, on the other hand, was the disastrous vixen that led him to be so.
"Have you found out who sent those assassins last night?" Their shooting skills, combat skills and movements are very similar to the group that ambushed me two years ago at the border."
Mark turned towards Jennie. "Madam, since you are able to predict the future, do you know who was behind Boss's attack from last night?"
Jennie shook her head.
In her previous life, she was completely uninvolved in these matters. She only learned about Lisa's ambush much later and was completely unaware about the enemy.
"Boss, I have to remind you." Mark said, "Madam only informed you of this a minute before the ambush. Of course, as you said, I believe she told you about it with good intentions."
Lisa's expression turned heavy. "Are you sick of living? I just warned you that you're not allowed to suspect her. Scram to the Thousand Snake Cave to reflect for three days."
"I don't want to." Mark turned as pale as a sheet of paper. "Boss, I'm really afraid of those snakes." He wouldn't be afraid if it was only ten or twenty snakes. But the cave filled with snakes caused his goosebumps to rise.
Jennie spoke up for him. "He has good intentions, don't punish..."
Mark was dragged away with a pale complexion.
He truly regretted saying more. If he had known this, he wouldn't have suspected Jennie.
