"Ridiculous? Can anyone be more ridiculous than you?"
Kai's eyes turned cold instantly when he looked at her. "How can you always assume that people can just forgive all the faults you've committed before? Do you still think you're innocent?"
Krystal shuddered slightly under Kai's sharp gaze, but she still faced him obstinately.
"You're such a cruel person! I've never seen such a selfish and wicked woman like you before in my life! I feel disgusted when I see you!" Kai's tone was chilly, and his words stung Krystal's ears like iced needles.
However, he would never understand that the harsher his words were towards Krystal, the stronger her hatred for Jennie would grow.
If it were not for Jennie, her reputation would not have suffered, and things would not be like this now!
Chaerin could not pull herself together. She tried to numb herself through drinking and playing mahjong. While Hyunbin was having fun with that old witch Ye-Jin abroad, Krystal had been under a lot of pressure to get Yueying running. She tried her best to save her marriage, yet she did not receive even an ounce of comfort or understanding from Kai!
Krystal started to blame her fate. They were both daughters of the Kim family. How could the difference between be this huge? How could she marry into a prestigious family, find a man like Lisa, and even have an elegant and beautiful mother? Their father, Hyunbin, favored her more as well. Reflecting on herself, Kai was cruel to her and Chaerin was now a failure!
"Disgusting? Why didn't you think I was disgusting when you told me to go out with you back then? It's useless now even if you find yourself totally in love with Jennie. She's Lisa's woman now. She's got nothing to do with you! You'll never get her whether it's in the past or the future. You can only return to my side! You're mine!"
"You're mad! Don't forget what you promised Grandfather!" Kai's expression turned icy.
However, Krystal just barked a cold laugh. "Kai, as long as I have the baby, you can never cut ties with me. I've always gotten everything I wanted whether it is Yueying or a man! You can say that I'm mad. Indeed, I am mad! You made me this way, but you can never find another woman who would love you as much as I do! I fell to such a state for you. What excuse do you have to abandon me?"
"You..." Kai glared at her, unable to say anything back.
...
On the other end, Jennie was on the way back to the Maple Residence.
She barely managed to stay awake. Her headache was getting worse by the second, and her vision was starting to get blurry.
The straight road in front of her split into several paths and the dim street lamps were not helping.
She had no idea how long she had been driving until she felt her body getting weak. In the end, she had to park the car on the side as she rested her head on the steering wheel. After a while, she took out her phone, found Lisa's number and called him.
It did not get through.
She called several times and it all got her the same results.
Thud!
Her hand trembled and she dropped her phone as she felt the world around her spin. She became dizzy. After a long while, she barely managed to open the door. However, she tumbled out of the car the moment she opened the door.
...
When Jisoo's car drove past, Jimin suddenly mentioned as he turned around and looked at the car they had just passed, "Master Kim, that person seems like Ms. Jennie! That's Chairman Manoban's car!"
"What did you say?" Jisoo slowed down the car and looked at Jimin.
"I said the woman who just fell out of the car looks like Ms. Jennie, and that is indeed Chairman Manoban's car. I remember the car plate numbers of Chairman Manoban's cars!" Jimin seemed surprised. "Could Ms. Jennie be...?"
Before he could finish his sentence, Jisoo turned the car around, speeding in the opposite direction and heading back to the car they just passed.
As expected, he saw Jennie slumped on the ground as he went nearer.
"Jennie!"
Jisoo stopped the car quickly and rushed out as fast as possible. He lifted her up, and her boiling body temperature startled him!
Her breathing was uneven and she was frowning out of discomfort. Jisoo started mumbling angrily, "How is Lisa taking good care of you? How is he a good man?!"
"Master Kim!" Jimin came after him. "What's the situation? What happened?"
"She has a fever!"
"Then, let's go to the hospital now."
Jisoo glanced around and then looked down at Jennie in his arms. "Let's head back home first. There's bad traffic now. I have some medicine at home."
"Yes, Master Kim!"
Jimin went to take Jennie's car keys out and locked the car after a brief reply. He then got back into the car and started the engine.
...
The night was getting late.
Inside a luxurious private villa, Lisa made several calls by the staircase. Jennie was still not picking up. He called back to the Maple Residence as well, feeling uneasy.
"Chairman Manoban, CEO Zhang was looking for you. Why are you here? About the contract..."
"Tell CEO Zhang I have to leave now. I'll apologize to him one day." He left a brief message before walking towards the exit.
"Lisa!" When Moonbyul came out, he only caught a glimpse of his back.
"Chief Lee, Chairman Manoban... He..." That man looked at Moonbyul in doubt.
Moonbyul pinched the space between his eyebrows and shook his head helplessly as he put on a bitter smile. "His wife is sick and he's been worried throughout the night. Oh well, no big deal! It's just one huge business deal. How generous of him!"
"Then..."
"Don't worry. Tell CEO Zhang I asked Chairman Manoban to do something for me. I'll drink with him tonight!"
