The Wife Is A Superstar 3

Chapter 416 - Poor Man's Cross Academy

Jennie tilted her head to the side, pondering about the bombshell Chaerin just dropped. The others looked shocked, even Lisa, when they learned that Chaerin was now an official viscountess. They never expected this kind of development at all. However, Jennie wasn't very affected or impressed. She didn't care about inherited titles like this.

"Mother, if you're a viscountess now, why are you staying here at your daughter's place? Does your husband only have a title but no money? He can't even afford to provide his wife accommodations?" Jennie asked.

"Oh, honey! Not at all! Your mother's husband is veeeeeery wealthy, but I don't know how wealthy. He came from old money after all, so it's a bit difficult to exactly estimate his entire wealth," she explained. "I decided to stay here at your place because I just want to spend some quality time with yoooouuuu, my beloved daughter!"

Jennie gave an unconvinced look. Even the others didn't believe her.

Chaerin looked wounded by their skepticism. "It's true! Honey, belieeeeeve me! I really want to spend more time with my own daughter! I learned so much from my husband! After becoming lovers, we travelled all over the Mediterranean, exploring many places. Then we travelled to North Africa next and then to South America. He brought me to some of the poooooorest places in those regions. At first I hated it but as time passed, Mother's heart was touched!

"Oh honey! I saw sooooooo much suffering and poverty during my travels! Ah! My heart breaks just remembering all the people I've met! My husband is a philanthropist, so he and his adopted son are using their wealth and status to help the less fortunate."

Chaerin wiped (invisible) tears from her eyes for effect. Nevertheless, she still sounded genuine enough. Then she continued describing the horrid living conditions of all the poor people she met.

Moments later, both Jae and Clover were so affected by her stories that the siblings started sobbing.

"Wuwuwu! That's so heartbreaking! Now I feel bad that I'm eating so much when there are so many people in the world who literally have nothing to eat!" Jae cried while shoving more food into his mouth. "I'm so thankful that I'm so blessed! Wuwuwu!"

"I know! So sad! That kind of stories are actually also common in my country. When foreigners come out of the airport, they see the skyscrapers, huge malls and all the rich parts of the city. But just an hour away, the poorest of the poor are living in conditions barely fit for humans," Clover said next, wiping her tears and blowing her nose.

"Exactly! My husband and I are actually planning on visiting the poorest places in Southeast Asia next," Chaerin said. "But since he's extremely busy right now, I'll just wait for him here until he finishes all of his matters and follows me here."

With that, Chaerin and the siblings Jae and Clover felt a connection with each other when it came to this topic. Both Jennie and Lisa were pushed out of the conversation while Jae and Clover took over talking with Chaerin.

"My husband made me realize how shallow of a person I've been! He opened my eyes and mind to the true realities of the world! Travelling with him and doing charity work made me realize my true calling in life! As his vizcondesa, I also want to dedicate my life in helping alleviate poverty in the world and making it a better place for the generations to come!" Chaerin told them with much passion.

Jae: "Oh! We support you, Mama Boss! That's like a perfect beauty queen pageant answer!"

Clover: "That's a very noble cause. I pray for your success."

Jennie and Lisa looked at each other, not expecting this kind of development in their dinner conversation. They never expected such a passionate and humanitarian speech from someone like Chaerin.
