The Wife Is A Superstar 3

Chapter 486 - Chicken Pretending To Be A Phoenix

The best friend of Faye, Jisoo's mother, repeatedly messaged and called her. However, Faye was already asleep. She had a strict sleep routine because she needed to wake up early every morning to open her small bookstore. As a result, she didn't learn about the news until the next morning.

In another place, Ning, Jay's mother, was in complete disbelief upon watching the livestream after being alerted by her friends. At first, she didn't understand Chaerin's long title at all.

"What's a vizcondesa?" she asked her friends during a video call. "Does it mean 'social climber' or 'gold digger'? Or maybe both? Ahahaha! And what's with the other Spanish words? That slut is so pretentious as always."

Her friends hesitated before explaining to her what "vizcondesa" meant. They told her that it was an official Spanish title.

"Ahahaha! You must be joking! No way!" Ning didn't dare believe it.

However, her friends shared their observations. They noted that the car which dropped Chaerin off at the red carpet bore the flags of Spain and of an official-looking coat of arms, presumably of the Viscountcy of Castillo de Estrellas. Since Chaerin dared to use these two flags at such an important international event, her new title as a viscountess must be true.

If it wasn't, she would be condemned not only by the film festival's followers, but also by the country of Spain and all the Spanish nobility for pretending to be someone that she wasn't. The stakes were too high just to fake something like this especially in such a highly publicized international film festival.

In addition to this, the film festival's organizers themselves sent representatives to personally welcome Chaerin. It was obvious by their actions that they treated her with much respect. They were also giving her extra special treatment compared to the other VIP guests. All of these showed that Chaerin's new title must be real.

It was only after her friends' explanations that Ning finally began to comprehend Chaerin's new identity. Her face contorted in fury upon realizing that the gulf between their statuses had increased exponentially.

Ning couldn't accept it!

She went batshit crazy and began wrecking the things in her house, as usual.

The household staff hid themselves from her sight for fear of becoming their madam's target. They wished that their young master were here. He was the only one who could calm his mother. Unfortunately, Jay was still on an out of town business trip.

"Noooo! How could that slut reach so high?!! Curse you, Chaerin!!! I hope your new husband divorces you and abandons you like the dirty rag that you are!!! Why are you so fucking lucky?!! Damn you!!! I spent so much time and effort persuading Jihoon to marry me but he married you instead!!! Then after divorcing, you took away a huge chunk of his fortune!!! Damn it! If only Jihoon married me, I could've gotten that fortune after divorcing him!! Then I could've also travelled all around the world, met a Spanish viscount and married him!!! Aaaaggh!!! It should've been me standing there at the international film festival and the one everyone is fawning at!!! I should've been the new viscountess, not you!!!"

Ning's envy of Chaerin had long warped her logical reasoning. She always saw Chaerin's achievements as a direct provocation to her. Even when it had nothing to do with her, Ning would always think that Chaerin was deliberately showing off just to spite her. She wanted everything that Chaerin had for herself.

While Ning continued to wreck the things inside her house, the atmosphere was cold at the Zheng ancestral residence. As usual, Sue's niece ran to her aunt's bedchamber and showed her a recording of the livestream.

Sue watched the recording several times. Her hands tightened on the tablet. Her niece snatched it away, afraid that she would destroy another tablet.

"Search if this noble title is real," she instructed her niece.

"I already did. There's not much information available on the internet, but it's a real Spanish title that still exists today," her niece replied. "I thought that the old hag only used her connection as Jennie's mother to attend the international film festival, but it turns out that she's actually a VIP guest! Hmph! So what if she became a viscountess?! It's not like she married a king! Don't worry, Auntie. I'm sure she'll embarrass herself in front of the world at the film festival. She may have a noble title, but she's still the same lowly prostitute on the inside."

Sue narrowed her eyes, as she watched the recording once again. Then she nodded. "You're right. She only became a viscountess through marriage. True nobility comes from the blood, not from the clothes. Sooner or later, her husband's eyes will open and see that she's nothing but a slut."

Although her tone was calm, fury roiled inside Sue. She always saw herself as superior in every way compared to Chaerin. She had always been proud of her noble origins. It was something that the homewrecker slut would never obtain no matter how many men she slept with. Now, however, Sue was filled with unease and envy because Chaerin's status was now higher than hers. Even though Chaerin wasn't born into nobility and just got the title through marriage, others still recognized it, not like the Zheng and the Kim clans' lost noble legacies.

She wanted Chaerin to only be known as a social climbing, gold digging homewrecker her whole life. The sin of stealing another woman's husband should remain as a black stain on Chaerin's reputation.

But what was happening? The slut was being respectfully called a "vizcondesa" right now by so many people! They were treating her like a queen. These people were all blind! They should open their eyes and see the slut's true nature! Chaerin was nothing but a chicken pretending to be a phoenix!

Although the recording grated on her nerves, Sue watched it several times. She already used her own phone to watch it and sent her niece back to her own room. Sue wasn't able to sleep that night at all. She stewed on her hatred instead while imagining countless ways of humiliating and killing Chaerin.

In another equally ancient place, Jihoon and Jia also watched a recording of the livestream at the Kim ancestral residence. It was already way past midnight, but both of them were still wide awake.

They sipped a hot herbal tea fusion at Jihoon's study. Jennie gifted it to them, saying that it was her new favourite from her endorsement of Serenity Premium Tea. It was Mingyu's newest addition to his tea company.

At the moment, Jihoon and Jia sat on the sofa and watched the big flat screen TV. Originally, they wanted to watch it because of Jennie. They wanted to support her first international film festival participation. Never did they expect that Chaerin would also appear and attend as a VIP guest while bearing the title of a Spanish viscountess.
