The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 3

Chapter 415: Start Over (4)

She was about to close the drawer after taking out a pen, but then she noticed that in the corner of the drawer, there was the medicine for flu and sore throat Ryujin had brought her last time.

She took it out as well.

Thud!

As Jisoo was coughing non-stop, Jennie tossed a tiny metal box to him. He stared at her in surprise while she was already reading the document on hand.

Jisoo picked the metal box up and realized there were pills for flu and sore throat inside. A faint light appeared in his eyes as he glanced at her for a while before popping a pill into his mouth.

"I'll pass this document back to you in a few days. There are several parts that need to be discussed," Jennie told him after a while.

Jisoo coughed again before pointing to the blueprint to say in his hoarse voice, "Here's the part you guys requested for amendments. The effect graph is over here."

"Mmm, I got it. I'll take a look at it and leave feedback later."

Jennie closed the document and stood up. "Vice President Kim, you should head back now. Thank you for coming all the way here." She used a clipped, business tone.

Jisoo's scarlet face was sweaty and he looked pretty uncomfortable. He grabbed the pen from Jennie and wrote a bunch of numbers in the empty corner of the document.

"Give me a call after you're done." Without staying any longer, he left after he packed up his stuff, taking the pills along with him too.

When he arrived at the door, Jisoo suddenly turned back and looked at Jennie. He waved the little metal box in his hand, but his eyes did not have the usual wickedness he had before.

"I know you guys have been gunning for Yueying, but my advice to you is to back off a little. Things have been rather chaotic lately. Glory World isn't the only one aiming for it. Well, I'm taking this as compensation to my reminder. That's fine, isn't it?"

Jisoo left after saying that to Jennie. She stood there, listening to the sound of his coughing in the corridor.

Jennie clenched the document in her hand after he left. Her eyes quieted down before they became clear again.

In his words, was he telling her that Kim Group was gunning for Yueying too?

She remembered that he was the representative of Kim Group who was handling Yueying, as well as one of Krystal's strongest back-ups, so he should not be telling her this.

Jennie was getting more and more confused as she thought about it.

Inspector Zhang's words flashed in her mind. Jisoo and his father Kim Joon were not on good terms.

Kim Joon obviously favored his eldest son Sehun more and was not very pleased with this other son of his.

Having investigated deeper on her own, Jennie found out that Kim Joon and Jisoo's mother, Huang Qin, were just purely connected by marriage. Currently, Wang Qin held most of Kim Group's stock, thus Kim Joon could not just do anything he wanted.

Wang Qin was being considerate about her own son. It had been forever since she wanted Jisoo to become CEO of Kim Group, but Kim Joon never agreed. The couple was cold to each other, and apparently, it was not really a secret.

However, she felt something was wrong with what Jisoo said.

Could Kim Joon want Yueying as well?

...

She was troubled for quite some time until the end of the workday. Finally, she kept her thoughts to herself and went to meet Yeji and Naeyon.

Back in Maple Residence, Lisa arrived home in the evening. Together with Moonbyul, Seulgi, and Ryujin, they were planning to go Imperial Sky initially, but Moonbyul would not let this chance slip by.

He missed the excellent wine in Lisa's cellar, so the few of them went to Maple Residence as well.

Lisa was busy cooking in the kitchen while the three of them were playing cards in the living room. Afterward, they felt a little uneasy, so they went to help Lisa.

Moonbyul was peeling the potato skins as he asked, "I don't see your wife around. Is she still at work?"

"She went out with Yeji and might come back late tonight," Lisa replied while he was concentrating on mixing some spices.

"Regarding your father-in-law, Hyunbin, is that just going to happen? I heard about it during the meeting today. It felt..." Moonbyul frowned as he looked at Lisa.

"Father doesn't want to work in the political field anymore. It's enough that he stayed in the field for decades, so he's decided to quit now and spend time with Mother, which isn't a bad idea," Lisa replied.

Moonbyul nodded. "How about your mother-in-law? The media went crazy about her a while ago. I know Yong Gun and you suppressed the news, plus the government helped out a bit as well. Now that it's in the past and with Kim Jiyang left, you wouldn't just let those women go, would you?"

"I'll hunt them until the very end."

His tone was firm, "At the same time I want to see what Kim Group will do. I have a feeling that we'll find something out after this storm is over."

"I heard you're sending Ryujin and Yeji over to Los Angeles?"

Moonbyul gave Lisa a meaningful stare, "Are you thinking that someone might be there?"

"Jennie said she wants to visit South America, the view is nice over there, it'd be good to have our wedding there too, Ryujin and Yeji are back together now, I'm letting them take a short vacation together while they scout the place."

Moonbyul nodded. "I had a talk with Seulgi yesterday. Every time Kim Joon went abroad, he'd always pass Los Angeles. I think we can leak this information to Jisoo or Wang Qin to test them."

"It might be better if we let them struggle among themselves while we take action only when needed."

...

Moonbyul had put a lot of effort into this lately. It was evident that he worked hard to track Kim Joon down.

"Seulgi purposely went to a hotel in San Francisco that Kim Joon has stayed in before. He found out that he actually went there for business. Nothing seemed odd."

Lisa's eyes darkened, but his hands did not stop at all.
