Married to a Millionaire

Chapter 4

Lisa Manoban was born and raised in a mansion, and had only ever seen foie gras on the dinner table. How would he know that geese could commit murder?

When the first big white goose stretched out its neck and came at him, Lisa lifted his foot to kick it away. But from the corner of his eye, he glimpsed Jennie standing with her arms crossed, sneering as she watched the fun unfold. Lisa was both angry and confused. He was about to try negotiating peacefully again when his pants suddenly tightened. Before he knew it, a stabbing pain shot up his leg!

Did this goose actually know how to bite people?

Lisa shook his leg in agony. One goose was flung away while another charged at him.

"Mr. Manoban, Mr. Manoban!"

The driver had been waiting for Lisa's instructions on the cement road. Seeing his boss under attack by a flock of geese now, his face turned pale with fright. He sprinted over to rescue the man. Seeing they were in cahoots, Jennie knew even if she called the cops, they wouldn't arrive in time. So she threatened sternly, "If you don't leave now, I'll call for help!"

Still focused on fending off the big white geese, Lisa heard her first. He looked up at her.

Morning sunlight spilled beautifully over the small farm courtyard, but while the woman looked harmless on the outside, her eyes were filled with hostility.

Lisa froze. The Jennie before him now was nothing like the refined, sweet girl in the photos.

As he stood motionless, the geese seized the opportunity to attack as one. With a tearing sound, a large chunk of fabric was ripped from Lisa's left pant leg!

"Mr. Manoban!" The driver finally reached them, brandishing a long stick he had grabbed from the road to drive the geese away. Kuma was just a two-month-old puppy. Knowing his bites didn't hurt, he only barked at his master's feet without leaving the fence.

The geese had twisted Lisa's calf several times, drawing blood. He had never been fully committed to marrying a country bumpkin from the start. And now that Jennie was condoning her poultry injuring people, Lisa completely gave up. He would rather infuriate his grandfather than waste any more time in this backwater valley.

Without a word, Lisa strode towards the cement road, his profile cold and imposing. Even with his torn pants leg, his dignified aura as a CEO remained perfectly intact.

The driver had wanted to say something on his boss's behalf, but seeing the geese charge again, he promptly fled. Once he reached the cement road, he happened to overhear Lisa calling his assistant to book plane tickets.

"Mr. Manoban?" The driver asked uneasily. Aren't you going to deal with the old master first?

"Go back to the hotel first, then head to the airport." Lisa put down his phone, his attitude firm. His dark eyes coldly glanced back at the Kim family's yard. He didn't think he could tolerate a crude, uneducated village girl, even one with a face that pleased him.

The black sedan reversed and drove off in a cloud of dust.

Jennie stood at the door until she could no longer see the car. Only then did she close and bolt the fence gate properly before continuing with chores in the backyard.

When noon arrived with its oppressive heat, Jennie went back upstairs to the bedroom. She opened the windows and took a nap.

Half-asleep, she heard the honking of geese, but it soon faded. Some time later, excited voices drifted over from Granny Guo's yard next door. Jennie rubbed her eyes in confusion as she sat up. Granny Guo's children and grandchildren all lived out of town. Who was the old lady talking to?
