The Wife Is a Superstar 2

Chapter 214 - Trust

"Hm? What is it?" Jennie asked.

"Don't mind those insignificant girls," Lisa told her. "You just woke up from coma. What you need right now is to rest. Focus on your recovery first. Okay, baby?"

"No, I want to know. Tell me."

Jae felt torn. Sir boss was too scary!

"Jae." Jennie's tone was commanding.

'Wuwuwu! Sir boss is scary but boss can be really scary too. Poor me. Wuwuwu!' Jae cried inside.

Jae had no choice but to reveal the latest news about the New Girls. During the court hearing, the New Girls pleaded not guilty against assaulting Mr. Chen's secretary and the other charges pressed on behalf of the nail polish company. The nail polish company's lawyer said in an interview that they had strong evidence and witnesses to support their case against the New Girls.

The next day, however, the case was muddied when several young women sought out the media and began throwing allegations against Mr. Chen and several higher-ups of the nail polish company. The young women accused them of sexual harassment, sextortion and bribery.

The nail polish company quickly released a formal statement denying all these allegations. However, the public was already starting to sympathize with the young women, especially after watching them reveal their alleged traumatic experiences while crying.

How could such innocent-looking young women lie? And they looked so traumatized too. Of course the public would believe them more than the wealthy and powerful old men running the nail polish company. This type of men often used their status to get what they wanted.

Even though these young women didn't go to the police to formally report their accusations, the mass media headlined their stories. There weren't any conclusive evidence but because of the media, public sympathy was with the young women. The nail polish company became a big target for bashing, damaging its reputation.

While all of these were happening, the actual case against the New Girls escaped the media spotlight. In an interview, the New Girls' lawyer used these allegations to question the integrity of Mr. Chen and the nail polish company. Although it wouldn't help the New Girls' case by serving as concrete evidence, it would nevertheless cause the nail polish company a huge setback in terms of their public image.

"These are what happened in the last few days while boss was in co—I mean while you were sleeping," Jae told Jennie. "At first, I felt sorry for the young women. There are so many like them who are being preyed upon by men of power. But when I thought about it more carefully, I don't understand why they won't go to the police and request for an official investigation. Then I thought maybe they're lying! Of course, it could also be because they're too scared. But they're already talking to the media. Surely, it's better to talk to the police as well. I don't know what to believe. If it's true that they are victims, I feel so sorry for them and I hope that they get the justice that they deserve. Women shouldn't continue to suffer traumatic experiences from men! But if they're lying, then they're horrible! It should be a crime to accuse someone of **** or sexual assault when it didn't really happen! Pinning such serious crimes on innocent men, how horrible is that?! They should be legally punished for their unjust accusations!"

Jennie frowned as she thought over what she just heard.

"Alright, that's enough," Lisa said firmly. He worried that such a heavy issue would stress his baby girl out and make her relapse again.

He also just learned about these latest development regarding the New Girls' case from his assistant, Bam. However, he was too worried for his baby girl in the past few days while she was in coma to care about others. He instructed Bam to find out more about the young women, but he already had an idea who might be behind all the ruckus.

"Baby, don't think about them for now," he repeated. "Let's focus on your health first, okay?"

"Fine," Jennie finally said.

Fortunately, Mei appeared at this time to call them for lunch. They all went into the formal dining area to eat because they had a guest, Jiyong.

The cook prepared special light but nourishing soup-based dishes for Jennie to ease her recovery. Then she prepared heavy dishes for the men, especially after seeing Lisa who lost some weight in just a few days.

After lunch, Jennie and Lisa headed to their bedroom. Jiyong followed them like it was the most natural thing in the world to accompany a couple to their bedroom. Lisa raised an eyebrow at him, but Jiyong just winked.

Once inside, Lisa helped Jennie on the bed. She was feeling tired. Lisa was about to shower but hesitated, looking pointedly at Jiyong who was checking out some of the books on the shelf. Lisa didn't want to leave the two of them together alone, especially when there was a bed present.

Jiyong immediately knew what he was thinking. He smirked. "Heh~ Don't tell me you don't trust your girlfriend alone with a man? You don't think she'll stay faithful to you and will leave you when faced with a gorgeous man like me? Tsk tsk." Then he turned to Jennie. "Look at your boyfriend, Little Sister Jennie! He doesn't trust you at all!"

Lisa scowled at his brother. But when he glanced at his baby girl, he saw her looking at him with sad and disappointed eyes. Her expression stabbed directly at his heart.

"Baby, I trust you," he told her. He lifted her chin up with his fingers, so that they were looking at each other's eyes. "Do you believe me?"

She blinked. Then she smiled softly and nodded.

His baby girl was too beautiful!

His body moved on its own, diving for a kiss. He kissed her deeply this time, sweeping his tongue inside her mouth. The kiss became intense in no time.

Before they knew it, she was already flat on her back with him on top of her. Both of them had already forgotten that there was another person in the room with them. When Jennie moaned and started pulling off Lisa's shirt, a loud cough made her freeze.

Lisa didn't hear it, continuing to kiss her passionately. She could feel his erection on her abdomen straining against his trousers. However, her lust already evaporated as she felt a strong murderous aura coming from one direction.
