The Wife Is a Superstar 2

Chapter 226 - Struggle For Control

When Jennie fainted, Jae and Alice panicked, alarming the entire household. They thought that she went into coma again. Everyone was frantic. They were about to call an ambulance when Jiyong emerged from the elevator.

He immediately ran over to them and gathered Jennie in his arms. To everyone's surprise and relief, he managed to wake her up. He was speaking to Jennie in Russian which they couldn't understand.

Jennie looked dazed at first. Then she began trembling. Her face suddenly contorted into a savage expression and a loud hiss escaped from her lips. "Jieun!"

"Little Sister, control your body!" Jiyong snapped at her.

"I'm gonna kill you, b*tch!" she screamed at the top of her lungs.

Her voice was filled with such menace that everyone except Jiyong felt chills down their spines. Mei, the cook and some of the older maids shivered as they watched their raging Young Miss. They were suddenly reminded of the Young Miss before the car accident.

"Let me go! I need to kill that b*tch!"

Jiyong shackled her with his arms while she struggled to escape. He didn't budge a bit even when she resorted to hitting, kicking, and even biting him.

"You will get your revenge, Jennie Kim," he said in a calm tone. "Little Sister, don't let your body control you."

Jennie struggled a bit more. Her expression kept on changing, freaking out Mei and the others. Finally, she stopped struggling and plopped like a limp doll on Jiyong. She was gasping for breath and drenched in her own sweat.

"Big Brother..."

"You'll be fine. Just keep on breathing."

She obeyed. A few minutes later, she felt a bit better.

"I want Lisa..."

Jiyong's eyes darkened and his arms around her tightened.

The home phone rang. Mei went to answer it. After the call, she informed everyone that the condominium's security called because reporters were swarming the building outside.

"It's not safe here anymore," Jiyong said, frowning.

Another phone started ringing. It was Jennie's phone. Jae went to answer it. "Hello, sir boss! Please come back home! Boss is...wuwuwu!"

"Give me the phone!" Jiyong ordered.

Jae handed him the phone, still sobbing.

Jiyong spoke to Lisa, explaining to him what happened to Jennie.

While he was talking on the phone, Jennie was busy struggling within herself. She was focusing on maintaining control of her body. An intense fury that didn't belong to her threatened to overwhelm her at any given moment. Now she could discern the disconnect between her and her body a little more clearly.

'Cooperate with me,' she communicated to her body. 'We are one now. If you need revenge to be at peace, I'll help you obtain it. Just don't fight with me anymore.'

To her surprise, her body immediately calmed down. The fury and desire for revenge was still there but they weren't trying to overwhelm her anymore. She sighed in relief and was now able to relax, but she felt weak and exhausted. Her eyes started to droop.

"So sleepy," she murmured.

Jiyong's heart almost stopped when her eyes closed. Did she go into coma again? Then he noticed her deep, steady breathing. She also didn't feel ice-cold or looked pale anymore. He released a breath of relief. She just fell asleep.

That same day, Lisa's subordinates arrived at the penthouse to help Jennie leave the condominium building and escape from the reporters waiting outside. She was still asleep, so Jiyong carried her. Jae also came with them carrying Lily and Leo inside carriers.

They were headed to Lisa's mansion at Dragon Palace Home #10. Lisa was already on his way to meet them there.

It seemed that the Kim ancestral residence was also surrounded by reporters just like the condo. Lisa's property was the safest place for Jennie at the moment. Nobody would expect to find her there.

Mei and the others were left behind. Hoyeon also stayed because of Little Jun. They were busy packing luggage for their Young Miss, Jiyong, Jae and the kittens to send after them later.

Alice returned to the Kim ancestral residence to personally report what happened to Jihoon and Jia.

Needless to say, Jihoon was extremely furious. He wanted to storm into the hospital where Jieun was staying and strangle her with his own bare hands. So she was the reason why his daughter almost died in that car crash two years ago! Unforgivable!

The war between the Manobans and the Lees became even more complicated when the Kims officially joined the fray.

Manoban Family's Old Mansion.

Grandma knocked on Chitthip's bedroom door. She tried to open it but it was locked.

"Get the key," she instructed a maid.

Moments later, the door was unlocked. Grandma strode into the dark bedroom. She saw the lump on the bed that was his daughter-in-law. Sighing, she gestured at the maid to open the curtains while she walked towards the bed.

"Chitthip my dear, you haven't eaten anything today yet. I asked them to prepare rice porridge for you."

A whimper was the only reply she received. Grandma sighed once more. She wanted to say a lot of things to her daughter-in-law but she decided to say nothing for now. She would allow Chitthip a few days to come to terms with reality first before giving her a piece of her mind.

"Try to eat the rice porridge later," was all Grandma could say before making her way out of the bedroom.

"Why did all of these have to happen?" Chitthip finally spoke in a small and hoarse voice. "The Lees are like our family. I don't know if those accusations about their company are true or not, but my sister and Jieun are surely innocent! Why do they have to suffer like this? Poor Jieun. I want to visit her at the hospital but I no longer have a face to show her and her mother after what V did. I can't believe that my two sons could be so ruthless!"

Grandma's patience snapped. "Listen to yourself, Chitthip! Are you a member of our family or the Lees?! How can you side with those criminals and blame your own children?! I'm so disappointed in you!"

Chitthip sobbed hard.

Grandma wavered seeing her daughter-in-law's pitiful state. However, her anger was greater. Chitthip's words crossed her bottom line. She felt indignant on behalf of her two grandsons. To her, family was number one. Even if her grandsons were to commit murder, she would continue to love and defend them with her life. She would never abandon them for other people.
