Mr Manoban's Daring Wife 2 [Jenlisa]

Chapter 370 - Apsolutely Not.

The Elder was already on edge from his conversation with Kwon Jae Wook. Hearing Lisa's words only drove him to the borderline of madness. "So, she's alive?!"

Lisa's face darkened and his presence became more violent than the previous storm. His hostility demanded blood to be spilled while his brain conjured up sinister thoughts. His brooding aura alone could destroy the city without leaving a trace behind.

"You intend to kill my wife?" Lisa's eyes never showed a trace of humanity within them; resembling the eyes of the Devil, hopelessly black.

Hojin Manoban settled down when he realized his grandson was not talking about the late Matriarch but about that wench instead. "Kill her? Do you think I've become senile to the point where I can't distinguish between which neck can be touched and which can't?" He collapsed back onto his seat and ran a hand over his face — an action that Lisa had never witnessed.

"Hahaha!" Randomly, Hojin Manoban broke into a fit of manic laughter, the wisdom left his eyes and drifted far away, beyond the clutches of no return. "Pity me? That useless woman pities me? Don't make me laugh."

Lisa wasn't provoked by Hojin Manoban's words. It was a tactic to get under his skin in hopes of enduring a swift death, but Lisa didn't give in to his burning anger. "No one will pity you more than grandmother herself." Then he turned his back to Hojin Manoban who clambered to his feet in hopes of dragging his grandson back.

First, it was Kwon Jae Wook, and now, it was Lisa. What did those two know about the disappearance of the Matriarch? "Shameless runt, get back here! Where is she?! Where is your grandmother?!" The roaring of his voice could be heard from behind the shut screen doors.

Everywhere, this place was swarmed with Lisa's people. No one could leave or enter this mansion without his permission. There were no means of communication in the house, especially since the phone line was cut, the wifi signal, jammed, and the radio towers within the vicinity, hijacked.

Tomorrow is the half-decade stockholder meeting and subsequently, the day Hojin Manoban will face his ultimate doom.

"Absolutely not." Jiang Zihui declared for the hundredth time. He was seated on the chaise couch, pinching his forehead, lips pressed into a straight line.

"You don't own me. Even if you do, you have no rights over me. I behave as I please. I do as I please." Jennie returned to her previous self, her eyes piercing through Jiang Zihui. She had changed her clothes into the only female pants she could find in this house.

"You lied to me. How long did you think that fake facade was going to hold up for? I should've killed you with your gun. How could you?" Jennie watched him slowly remove the hand from his face to stare up at her with a helpless look. She hated that expression; it was calling her weak and powerless — a damsel in distress. Who the hell was the indecisive damsel here? Jiang Zihui? Yeah, that would be a decent description for this distraught man is was currently having an internal battle with himself.

"Listen, I'm doing this for your sake. Hell, there's a crazy senior citizen hell-bent on killing you in Shenbei! You have lost your mind if you think I'm going to allow you to go back." Jiang Zihui sat up ramrod straight on the couch and let out a heavy sigh. "He might've only wiped your memories this time, but who's to say he won't wipe your existence off this Earth? Listen to me. This is the safest place for you right now."

"I was caught off guard by the previous one. This time, I—"

"No. This is too much of a risk. You're staying in Leinan and that's final." Jiang Zihui was glad he sent his younger brother home. The blabbermouth would've been too much for him to handle. "And I didn't mean to lie to you. It was in the heat of the moment and my idiot brother—"
