These girls were coddled rich kids, plus they were also young. Even the ones who were in their early twenties had the mentality of spoiled teenagers. They didn't understand a lot of the things Jennie said.
All of them were proud to belong in a prominent business family like the Manobans, but they didn't understand anything about business at all. They took the status associated with the family for granted, thinking that they deserved it just for the fact that they were born with the surname. However, they didn't bother learning the required knowledge and responsibilities to become true business people deserving of the Manoban family's prestige.
Jane was incensed that Jennie once again pointed out her mistake.
"So the rumours are true! Jennie Kim, you're really a bitch! I bet that you only seduced Lisa with your white lotus act when the truth is that you're a big bitch!" Jane yelled.
"Yeah!" the others echoed, as if all of them shared one single brain cell between them.
Jane continued, "You're nothing compared to Diana! She's already the CMO at thirty. And not just any CMO but the CMO of Manoban Corporation, the number one company in the country. What about you? You're just a celebrity. Sure, you can sing well, have won some awards, and can speak a few languages, but the quality of your achievements pale in comparison to Diana's. She graduated from an American Ivy league university, the same one that Lisa attended. What about you? I heard that you didn't even go to college. How pathetic!"
Jennie narrowed her eyes. However, she didn't react to the girl's provocation. These girls made it sound like that American Ivy league university was the best school in the world. Did they even know about the existence of Cross Academy? She found it laughable that these girls were trying so hard to make trouble with her. They were like a group of toddlers trying to hit her with cotton balls.
She didn't want to waste any more time with these immature children. No, even some small children acted more mature than these teenagers and young adults, like her godson Little Jun. Jennie ignored them and started walking away.
However, they didn't let her. They encircled her and even tried grabbing her. Fortunately, she was able to dodge their repeated attempts.
When they started becoming more aggressive, Jennie suddenly spoke out loud and said something in Russian.
"What are you saying? Do you think we'll be impressed that you can speak other languages? So what if you know other languages? I can also speak English and French. It's nothing special! Don't be so proud of yourself," one of the other girls said.
"But you suck in English. And you can only say bonjour and merci. Sometimes you even use them wrongly," another girl commented.
"Shut up!"
Jennie's hand rubbed the bulge of her phone in the pocket of her pants.
Two additional girls arrived all of the sudden. When they saw that Jane's group was ganging up on Jennie, they hurried towards and tried to squeeze inside the encirclement. One of them reached out to Jennie, attempting to rescue her.
"What are you doing?! Let her go! Jennie is Cousin's future wife! If you hurt her, I'm sure that Cousin will kill all of you!"
"Boss—cough cough—I mean, Sister Ruby, don't worry. I'll go call Cousin right now!"
"Oh no, you don't! Hold the two of them!" Jane commanded.
The other girls immediately grabbed the two girls, preventing them from calling for help. A minimum of three people held down each of the two girls.
"Jane, you're going to be in so much trouble after this!!! Cousin won't forgive you!!!"
"Hmph!" Jane lifted her chin in an arrogant manner. "My father is an important member of the board of directors at the Corporation. The board of directors have the power to hire and fire people for important executive positions in the company. If they want, they could even fire the CEO, Lisa!"
The two girls gasped.
"You dare say that, Jane?!!"
Jane seemed to realize what she just said. She quickly looked around. When she was certain that nobody other than them heard her, she sighed in relief. Then she arrogantly lifted her chin once again.
"It's true! The board of directors have the power to do that!"
Jennie nodded. "She's correct. But only by majority vote. Some companies even required a unanimous vote."
"Hmph! Of course, I'm correct." Jane looked proud of herself before glaring at Jennie. "I don't need to hear that from you. Don't pretend like you're smart and know anything about business. You don't have a business degree like Diana. Stop acting like you know what you're talking about!"
At first, Jennie was amused by the girls' immature attempts of bullying her. But now she just felt bored, indifferent...and annoyed. Their bullying methods bored her, almost making her yawn. What managed to annoy her, however, was their repeated comparisons between her and Diana. The woman was like disgusting chewed gum they were trying to stick to her hair.
"I'm warning you right now, Jennie Kim. You don't suit Lisa," Jane continued trying to bully her into submission. "Stay away from him. We don't want you in our family! If you don't listen to me, we'll spread rumours about you. People will see only see you as a social climber like your mother. She only became a viscountess because she married a viscount. No achievements of her own, just like you! Stop using Lisa for your own gain. We won't let you!"
Jennie only stood there with a cold expression on her face. There was even a blank look in her eyes, as if she wasn't present and their words weren't affecting her at all. It also seemed like she wasn't viewing them as people but mere annoying insects buzzing all around. She had more important things to do than waste her precious time with these dumb kids.
