Sigh, did you hear? In a year that Jennie went to H City, she hooked up with a CEO and even married him. That man seems to be the rumored Lisa Manoban."

"I really don't know what methods she used. Since she's already married to Lisa, why did she run back to our company to fight over a job with us?"

"I heard Mei say that Jennie was very arrogant and mighty during the interview at Aerial Club. She was afraid that no one would not know that she was the CEO's wife. Tsk tsk, I don't know what President Manoban is thinking."

The next day, Jennie went back to the company to deliver her work and her resignation letter. Since the Spring Festival was nearer, Old Man wanted everyone in the Manoban Family to come back, having a good meal together. Old Man wanted V to go back and join them, but he
would only go back if Jennie went back too, otherwise, he wouldn't leave.

It would be better to go with the flow and let V go with her so that this Spring Festival can be a happy and fulfilling time for the Old Man.

However, as soon as she entered the company, she heard a group of women whispering about her.

"Back then, she had just graduated from university and she was in her early twenties. I thought Jackson pursued her because he liked a young girl like her, who was still fresh. Now, Jennie is already twenty-five, at such an awkward age, it's time to say goodbye to her youth. In a few years, she might become too old."

Jennie's footsteps suddenly stopped. She walked straight in and glanced at her female colleague who had just spoken, as well as Sister Pan.

As soon as they saw her enter, their expressions immediately turned solemn. Embarrassed, they didn't dare to say anything else. "Hey, Jennie~ ~"

"Hur hur, Jennie. Are you leaving?"

"I heard that you're now the CEO's wife. We used to have eyes but didn't recognize Mt. Tai. I never thought that you would actually marry a big shot like Lisa Manoban."

"That's right! Jennie, I really didn't expect you to be so powerful."

Jennie gave them an open-minded smile. She placed the recently arranged documents on Sister Pan's desk, then turned around to look at their different expressions.

After a moment, she took a glance at Sister Pan.

"Sister Pan."

"Sigh." Sister Pan forced out a cautious smile. She obviously dared to speak ill of others behind their backs, but she didn't dare to offend that person in front.

"Compared to your age, I don't think I will be able to match up with you, Sister Pan ." Jennie suddenly gave her a sweet smile. "If you think I'm more suitable to be a dragon girl like them,then I don't mind."

After saying that, she walked out of the office with a smile.

The Department of Commerce immediately went extremely quiet. As she walked to the door and heard the quiet atmosphere inside, a smile appeared on her face.

Then, before anyone could make a sound, Lisa had come to their company. Just as Jennie was about to laugh, someone immediately grabbed her waist. "Little Dragon Girl, let me be yours"

The two of them stood at the Department of Commerce's office door. Jennie could see from the corner of her eyes that the women inside had an awkward expression, as if they were choked by Lisa's words.

Jennie held back her laughter. "Then why don't you call me aunt first?"

As a result, he took her hand and left the company together but of course... The dignified President Manoban refused to call his beloved wife 'aunt'.

Due to Lisa's sudden arrival, the whole department was in chaos. Just as they walked out of the door, the department leaders came rushing to greet them once they received the news.

Lisa politely and cleverly rejected the invitation to a banquet. When they got home, V wasn't there. He never made it clear whether he wanted to go back or not, but he didn't seem to quit his job here. Working in that company was his life's greatest joy and if he didn't want to have anything to do with the Manoban Family, he can still make a living on his own.

And then there was the mother who was still alive, the mother who had lost her mind.

When Jennie opened the door of V's bedroom, she saw an exquisite black velvet box placed beside the bed. She was stunned for a moment, then turned around to look at Lisa. She immediately walked towards the bed and picked up the box.

She remembered that there were a few pictures of this crystal necklace on Lisa's laptop. When Jennie opened the box, Lisa's expression immediately changed.

"This crystal necklace?" He glanced at her, then took the necklace and looked at it.

"This is something my mother left behind." Jennie put down the box and looked at the white crystal necklace in his hand. "I don't know what exactly it means, and I've also wondered if this necklace had some kind of secret because the people from the Kim Family have been trying to find it for the past few years.I didn't keep it by my side and let V hold it. I thought it was placed in some secret place, but I never thought it would be kept by his side just like that."

"The people from the Kim Family have been looking for this the entire time?" Lisa looked at her.

Jennie nodded her head. "Yes, they are. In my impression, I seem to have heard that this necklace was given to my mother by Jihoon when they were still together back then and that was before I was born. I don't know why they were looking for this necklace, and because I do not wish for my mother's remnants to be taken away by them like that, I have always kept it well. That's why until now, they still couldn't find it.

Jennie raised her eyes and looked at Lisa's face. His expression was normal, but he was carefully observing the necklace. "Lis, do you recognize this necklace?" she asked.

Lisa tilted his head to look at her. "Why do you ask?"

Jennie pursed her lips, feeling a bit embarrassed to say that she had once looked through his laptop, but the doubt in her heart was too heavy. She really didn't want to hide anything from him and cause any more misunderstandings, so she told him the truth, "In your laptop, I saw a sketch of this necklace. There were from several angles and it looked very similar. At that time, I thought that you might not recognize this necklace, but since the necklace was not in my hands, I didn't mention it."

Lisa smiled with understanding. "You think I peep at your mother's necklace too?"

Jennie immediately said, "Then, why are you looking at this thing? How can I not be so suspicious ~"

Lisa smiled and returned the necklace to her hand. He looked at her seriously, "Jennie, there's an eighty percent chance that this crystal necklace is related to a great army that came from twenty years ago. It was quite impossible for this case to be re-investigated, as it has been going on for too long. I found out that a few pieces of jewelry offered by an influential person from Brazil were related to this corruption. The necklace in your hand should be one of them, but without a professional examination, I am not entirely sure."

"However, you should keep it in mind. The Kim Family has their own reasons for wanting this necklace." With that, he patted her gently on the shoulder as if he was comforting her, "Since this is your mother's treasure, you should keep it carefully."

Jennie lowered her head to look at the top-grade white crystal necklace. Thinking back to the fake crystal necklace that her mother had brought with her when she killed herself, at that time, Jennie still couldn't understand why her mother did that. However, Lisa's short sentence finally solved half of her doubts
