Jennie looked at her, then looked away indifferently.
Still, Krystal walked in and after a while, she was behind her. She looked at the doll that she had tossed into the dustbin. Upon seeing that Jennie had already turned away without so much of a second look at her, her expression instantly turned cold.
"I know you did those things! You've managed to take your revenge, Jennie!" Krystal's voice was frigid, inevitably mixed with some sharpness. Jennie did not even need to look when she could already feel the iciness attacking from behind.
The corner of Jennie's lips curled into a sneer. She picked up the rag doll on the windowsill before her and fiddled with it for a while before saying plainly, "I don't know what you're talking about."
"Stop acting dumb! You've managed to push me out of showbiz. Do you feel satisfied? Everything that has happened right now is all thanks to you! In order to pummel me down, you didn't spare claiming a connection to Lisa. I've really underestimated you."
Krystal's chest was filled with anger that could not be pushed down.
Yes, anger!
Anger from all the bitter experiences she had gone through so far!
Her initially brilliant road to stardom had been destroyed overnight, and the deep love that she and Kai had when they were joined by the hip was now a mess. All the many problems she was going through seemed to befall her at once. She almost could not bear it and was close to a breakdown, yet the cause of these disasters lived so comfortably. She could not stand such a contrast!
"To pummel you down, I connected with Lisa?"
When Jennie heard Krystal, she almost laughed out loud. She calmly turned around and looked apathetically at Krystal with a calm gaze looked as if she was watching an amusing clown. "You think too highly of yourself! Now, with all of these things added up, it's not even enough to compensate for all the things you've done to me, even if I add interest in! Especially with your high-quality mother who's a daughter from a prestigious family. She wrecked her own best friend's family and was willing to be a third party. How can someone lacking inner quality and awareness continue to live on this Earth? If I were her, I'd have long killed myself by committing seppuku."
Jennie's voice was very calm like still water. There was not a hint of her feeling wavered.
"Don't make yourself seem all high and mighty! Didn't you still offer yourself as part of a business deal? Don't tell me that you really married Lisa for so-called love? Weren't you still terribly in love with Kai a while ago? Yet, you immediately turned around and fell in love with another man. Jennie, I never knew you were so philanthropic!"
She could not blame Krystal for thinking like that. When she thought about how things had unfolded, there was no way Jennie could have married Lisa for love. She had already learned a bit about Lisa and Jennie's situation. Lisa only returned from New York close to the end of last year and they did not know each other before that.
If that was the case, then Krystal deduced that there must be some sort of serendipity that brought them together, or maybe Jennie had gone to Lisa and the two of them had a secret deal between them such as an agreement or something. After all, even though Lisa was low-profile and cold, the rumors about him in the circle were mysterious.
Obviously, her acting had gotten into her head, so she could only think of such reasons!
When she heard this, Jennie was not enraged. Instead, she smiled faintly at Krystal. The light in her eyes looked like she was mulling it over. "Offer myself as part of a business deal? You can go ask Lisa and see what kind of answer he'll give you. Even if that is so, that proves that I'm charming. Otherwise, why didn't he fancy you instead? I remember that at the Glory World annual meeting and the opening ceremony of Imperial Sky Entertainment City, you fawned over him quite a bit. Did he take one look at you, celebrity Kim?"
Jennie realized that her ability for a wicked comeback had grown since being with that man.
"Haven't you always boasted about yourself having both talent and looks? You have a strong background and the status to go with it. As a princess with the world revolving around you, how did you fall to this sorry state? Do you have a very deep understanding of the words 'it serves you right' now?"
As she watched Krystal's little face become increasingly stormy and unfathomable as well as that cold light that gathered and leaped in her eyes, Jennie suddenly felt particularly satisfied. The fact that she could make her mask fail and cause her to act this way was not that easy to come by. Should she be giving Lisa's hard work a 'like'?
"Don't be so flustered. From what I remember, you are someone who doesn't panic easily. The show has just begun, so don't show your cards so quickly. Otherwise, how are we going to keep playing? Do you feel especially unhappy? If you do, then cry, put on an act again in front of the whole family, squeeze a few more drop of tears out. Isn't that your master skill?"
"Slut!" Krystal was finally triggered to the point that she could not help but curse out loud with clenched fists. The hostility in her eyes showed and she suddenly could not care about anything else as she shouted, "Stop trying to accuse me! You're the fickle slut. You and your mother's noble and virtuous appearances are annoying! So what if I'm an illegitimate daughter? Haven't I bested you? Your fiancé still fell in love with me, didn't he?
"Now, almost everyone knows that in the Kim family, I, Krystal Kim, am the true heiress. You, Jennie, can't compare to me! I hate it the most when people are discussing whether I'm an illegitimate daughter behind my back. You and Naeyon laugh at my misfortune, witch! And you gave me all those toys you no longer wanted. Who do you think you are? Who wants to be your charity case?"
When she burst out, Jennie finally knew the reason why Krystal resented her.
Illegitimate daughter?
Charity case?
She did remember that she had given quite a few princess dolls to Krystal previously because they were both children then. They had gotten along well and Krystal really liked them too, so she had given them to her unexpectedly.
When she thought about this, she could not help but chuckle at herself, feeling a little sorry for her.
"Krystal, you're so sad. I never knew you were so narrow-minded! As such a vile character, you should at least have some remorse, but unexpectedly, you're proud of it."
"What rights do you have to be lecturing me? How much higher and mightier than me do you think you could be? If I bring these things up to Lisa, what do you think he'll think of you?"
Krystal's expression was cold. Suddenly, a stack of photos appeared in her hands. Her eyes were filled with an insulting light as she waved the photos.
Frowning, she squinted and her eyes were hostile as she looked at the pictures in Krystal's hand. Then, she looked at the sinister-looking Krystal before she reached out to take those photos.
