Daddy Ceo's Beloved Wife

Chapter 103 - Jennie's Friend: Park Chaeyoung

Jennie didn't even hesitate and answered the phone in front of him. There was no need for her to keep everything hidden from him.

Jennie: "Hello? Rosé?"

There was a slight pause of silence on the other side of the phone.

It took five seconds for Jennie to hear her friend's familiar voice.

Rosé: "Jennie..."

Jennie felt happy that at least, even after everything that happened to the two of them, Rosé still contacted her.

Originally, Jennie thought that Rosé wouldn't even try and get in contact with her after what happened years ago. It was understandable since it was her fault that pushed Rosé away due to Kai and Ji-won's persuasion, telling her that Rosé was a dangerous woman.

Of course, at that time, Jennie didn't immediately cut off her relationship with Rosé merely because she still had some doubts. However, Kai showed her some photos and records that Rosé was indeed connected to the Underworld; a very dangerous and dark place that no person would try and get involved in that world where all mafia lords, gang lords, and all kinds of horrible things could happen, completely disregarding the establish law.

Jennie bit her lips. She didn't know what to say other than... "Sorry... It took me a while to talk to you again."

Rosé didn't respond for a long while. Jennie felt her hands getting sweaty as she tried to calm her nerves. Then, a large and warm hand suddenly enclosed her hand, and when she looked up, she saw the man sitting across from her smiling at her. He was encouraging her.

Jennie: "It's been a while. How are you doing?"

Finally, Rosé spoke: "I'm doing fine..."

Then she paused before adding in a somber tone, "I heard about you and that man from the Yang family... It seems you've finally woken up from your foolishness."

Jennie felt an arrow piercing her heart. Rosé has been quite the frank one amongst her friends. She wouldn't hold or press the brake if she wanted to say something.

"I told you he's no good. That man has never been a good person. But did you listen?" Rosé seemed to be scolding her, but her voice was gentle. "Kai and his lover have been going around the city, holding hands and kissing each other in front of your so-called circle of friends. And yet, did they tell you anything? They didn't, did they?"

Jennie looked at Lisa, hoping that he couldn't hear what was said on the phone.

Jennie sighed. "I know... I was foolish and blind."

Rosé cut her off: "You're not only blind... you're deaf to what people have been telling you."

Jennie felt like she hadn't stepped out of the battlefield. And no, she wasn't the one swinging her sword to her enemies... She was the one being shot at by a gun and she couldn't avoid it no matter how quick and swift her feet was. The bullet just followed her, the target, around and hit her everywhere.

But soon after the rounds of bullets had fallen onto her body, Rosé softened her voice and said, "So... how are you doing now? Please don't tell me you're still with him?!"

Jennie quickly answered as if she was a soldier in front of a major: "No! I am not with him anymore. Truth to be told, I already broke off my engagement with him and want him to get out of my life."

Rosé sighed this time. She knew how much Jennie loved Kai, that scumbag spoiled bastard. Jennie gave up her career and everything that she achieved in her life just to please him and her family. Thus, she knew that Jennie must have been too broken to recover from the pain that fast.

So, she no longer wanted to think about the bad blood that happened between her and Jennie.

The two of them fell into a tacit understanding. Neither of them spoke as they let their hearts and minds unite.

A minute later, Rosé suddenly opened her mouth and asked, "So... when are we going to make him pay for what he did? Or do you want me to beat his a*s off and make his face as big as a pig's head?"

Jennie giggled. Rosé wasn't the type to say one thing and not act on it. She really would beat Kai until his head was twice as big and looked like a pig's head.

That would be nice but... Jennie stared at Lisa and said to Rosé, "I don't want to dirty your hands. Let me handle him and my family."

Rosé didn't force her either and said, "Alright, promise me, however, that you would make it worthwhile. I'll be in the country soon and we will meet again."

Jennie raised her eyebrows in surprise. She didn't know that Rosé was outside of the country. So she asked her, "Have you been staying out of the country this whole time?"

On Rosé's side, a faint clicking sound could be heard as she responded with an affirmative. In front of her were three black suited men with their heads lowered and kneeling before her.

Jennie was silent for a second when she heard Rosé ask in a worried tone: "Why? Is something the matter? Do you want me to come to the country now?"

Jennie shook her head as if Rosé could see her: "No, it's alright. I'll wait for you to arrive."

Rosé: "Alright."

After the two of them disconnected their calls, Jennie was in a daze. Though she has been friends with Rosé, she didn't know what the latter's real occupation was. The only thing she knew about her was that she knew some people from the Underworld and had some dealings with them.
