My Little Sweet Wife 3

Chapter 438 - The Past II

"Those people who know the truth and possess all the evidences will die and disappear. As for me, I have no choice but to go mad."

Jennie asked with a mixed feeling. "That crystal necklace left by my mother, could it be one of the items Jihoon got at that time?"

"You guessed it right. At the time, even though he was married to Lian, he still wasn't that heartless towards Chaerin. He remembered that she liked things like the crystal jade, so he deliberately sent the crystal necklace sent by the wife of the Brazilian President to her. Eventually, the bribe money was successfully transferred. Not only did they get the money, but they also received a lot of jewelry."

"My father was one of the soldiers. One of the people who took part in this matter introduced me to Marco. For many years, he never engaged with anyone outside, and also because Old Man was very strict with his son, he always had a treacherous heart and lacked courage."

"At that time, my young beauty attracted his attention, and I was introduced to many leaders by him. Because of Marco's relations with the Manoban Family, he was often invited to banquets by these leaders, and because he felt lonely, he often dragged me with him."

"Chaerin was a little presumptuous back then. When Jihoon gave her the necklace, she liked it and kept it with her. At that time, I was already obsessed with Marco. I was more direct than your mother and had a stronger purpose in doing so."

"Furthermore, I had a good family background and was so used to being unafraid of the heavens and the earth. Even though I knew that Marco had a wife and children, I still fell into the trap."

"Your mother couldn't persuade me and stopped me from doing this, so she could just look after me and hide the items Jihoon gave to her. At that time, Chaerin could guess what had happened. Whether it was the Manoban Family or the Kim Family, they wouldn't be arrogant for a long time. In a few months, both the Manoban Family and the Kim Family were in turmoil, but they handled the situation cleanly."

"However, after the Old Man of the Manoban Family found out about my condition, he forced me to abort my child. I rejected it of course. This is my child. Why should I do that just because someone is asking for it? Old Man could not tolerate it, so I decided to flee abroad. However, when I safely gave birth and thought of returning home with the child, I found out that all that happened to my family was actually a trap."

Jia sighed, "At that time, your mother and I were the only women who knew the truth. Chaerin was in G City, so she didn't have much contact with the Manoban Family. Old Man had no reason to deal with her first. He just wanted to deal with me first."

"And so, I pretended to be crazy."

"However, Old Man didn't believe me completely. Upon learning that I was really insane, he didn't give me a chance to live, but he also didn't force me to die. He just sent me to the United States and locked me in a sanatorium for the rest of my life."

"The Old Man did not kill me at that time because Marco had begged for mercy. Also, it was because of my son."

"What about the necklace?" Jennie was puzzled.

"At that time, the Kim Family have a good relationship with the Manoban Family, and they always seek Old Man's advice. The Manoban Family and Kim Family were on the same ship, and although Old Man was very reluctant, he had no choice but to intervene in the matter."

"Was Senior Zhou not involved in that matter back then? I heard that he suddenly quit his job that year and went into foreign business!" Jennie stared at Jia. "Also, since Jihoon destroyed those things, why didn't he ask for the necklace from my mother back then? Why did he have to wait until her death before going looking for it?"

Jia sneered. "You think he hasn't?"

Jennie remained silent as she looked at Jia's expression.

She kept having the feeling that Jia was concealing something from her, not to mention with her tone. It sounded strange, but she couldn't tell what it was.

"Jennie." Jia thought for a moment, then said, "I don't want to discuss those details. If you get a chance to read the cases' detailed notes, you will understand it yourself. There is only one fact you must know, which I should have told you before, but I cannot bear to tell you."

"What is it?"

"Your mother, Chaerin, was indeed forced to a dead end by Old Man, who is your husband's grandfather. However, before your mother died, she deliberately left a clue, which is a crystal necklace she left on you."

"You should know, your mother was forced to die by Old Man. The Manoban Family and the Kim Family are both selfish. For their own peace and well-being, they kill everyone. Is there a difference between this and killing your mother with their own hands?"

Jia's expression was calm as she said this, but the hatred in her eyes deepened.

But Jennie was calmer than Jia had imagined.

Jennie turned her head slightly, looking at Jia with calm eyes. She was just looking at her.

Seeing her expression, Jia looked at her and said, "Looks like you've prepared yourself mentally before coming here."

Jennie gently shook her head. "I'm not that prepared, I just ..." She paused, then smiled slightly. "I've thought about everything from the worst perspective. Other than calming down and thinking of what I should do now and what I should do next, I don't know what to say."

With that, Jennie stood up, and with her back facing Jia, she looked towards the fish pond in front of her. After so long, she slowly said, "Did Old Man really force my mother to die? How many people know about this? Does anyone else in the Manoban Family know?"

Jia looked at her back, "As far as I know, Lisa only thoroughly investigated that case not long ago. But where did he hear the rumors that allowed him to find the clue and target of this matter that was sealed tightly by the people involved? I'm not sure about that, but I suspect that this matter is related to Senior Zhou."

With that, Jia continued, "As for the rest of the Manoban Family, Marco's crime of corruption, which had a great impact on the country, was not exposed because Old Man was too crafty and had covered up his son. Chitthip only knew that Marco had cheated out of nowhere and had an illegitimate child, but Old Man hid everything else from her. Therefore, only a few people who are still alive and involved in this case know about this."

Jennie suddenly remembered that day, Uncle Huang had looked at her stomach in surprise, as if he was very surprised about something.

That was why he was so shocked. Jennie was currently carrying the child of the Manoban Family ... Her husband was Old Man's grandson.

Other than Jihoon, the person who had caused her such a tragedy over the past 21 years was also a key figure, Old Man Manoban.

When she first entered the Residence, Old Man
had been so against her. It wasn't just because of Diana, but also because he clearly knew that Lisa's wife was the child he pushed into a tragedy that year.

That day in the hospital bed, when Old Man held her hand, the look of apology in his eyes was very strong, not only because of the photos that were connected with memories he didn't want to remember but also because he knows that he had sacrificed many people to protect his son and the reputation and interests of the Manoban Family.

Before coming here, Jennie had really thought about everything from the worst case scenario. She hadn't thought that the truth would be like this, in a way that matched her imagination.
