Mr Manoban's Daring Wife [Jenlisa]

Chapter 178: Family Meant Nothing

Even after shopping in many different boutiques recommended by Lisa, Jennie still believed the gifts were not good enough. They were also personally purchased with Lisa's money which caused an inclination for her to explore more so that she could buy the gifts with her own money.

She went to other stores and when they went to the cashier, she would push Lisa aside and fight through his hand that was desperately trying to shove his limitless black card into the machine. Atlas, she prevailed and was able to purchase things with her own credit card.

If there was one thing her mother ever taught her, it was to not rely on a man for money, for there would come a day when he would stop giving the sufficient amount. She suspected Lisa would not end up like those men, but who's to say, his current treatment towards her was not the effects of the puppy-love stage of their relationship?

Jennie was studying a highly sought-after ginseng and jujube gift-set when Lisa's phone suddenly went off. She shooed him away to pick up the call, while her's also dinged a few seconds later.

Lisa saw the call was from Haruto. The long-awaited answer had come. Haruto finally tortured the information from Ren Xiong.

He walked outside of the store and towards a secluded corner to pick up the call. Even from where he stood, he had a perfect view of his woman.

"Big Boss! Good news, can you guess what it is?!" Haruto squealed in delight, the sound scaring the men in the room. They were cleaning up his bloody mess, the limbs and intestines on the floor was a gruesome sight to witness, but it was pretty much a daily occurrence for them since Haruto was known for getting messy.

Even as he stood, covered head-to-toe in blood, with some even splattered on his sickly pale skin, and with a crazed look in his eyes, Haruto still had the guts to grin like a madman.

"Who is it?" Lisa did not beat around the bush. He wanted to get it over with and return back to his woman already.

"Boo, you're no fun." Haruto pouted, wanting to engage in a guessing game just so he could drag out this conversation.

"..."

"Alright, I'll tell you!" Haruto exclaimed, his eyes ditsy as he happily skipped out of the room.

Lisa raised his head to look at his woman again, who was still engrossed in her phone. He noticed she was rapidly typing on it, presumably deep in conversation, or having an argument.

"Hurry up, Haruto."

"Okay so it was super hard to extract the name from Ren Xiong, but after I threatened him with his daughter, who by the way, is fugly beyond words, and even had the men drag his wife here—"

"Haruto." Lisa snarled, his temper not at its finest. He already had a suspicion of who it was. Kin and flesh. The man behind the kidnapping was someone related to Jennie. His heart hurt for her. Even her own family plotted against her.

"I'm sorry, Big Boss..." Haruto's cheery mood dropped. He paused in the hallway, squatting down and hugging his knees while he drew dusty circles on the floor, giving off an extremely pitiful image to the onlooker. One would look at his face and think he was being emotionally abused!

"I'm not mad. Just spit out the name." Lisa knew how bipolar this child was. He could already picture Haruto's signature pose to evoke sympathy from him. By now, he was pretty sure the entire floor was cleaned from the number of circles Haruto was drawing on the floor with his fingers.

"It's Kwon Jae Wook's eldest son, Kwon Sang-Woo."

Jennie's eldest uncle.

Lisa was perplexed by this turn of events. What would that man gain from selling off his niece to an arranged marriage? Some quick cash? This did not make sense to him.
