The Wife Is A Superstar 6

Chapter 1152 - New Eligible Bachelor

After Chaerin's charity dinner to raise money for her daughter's foundation, Jen of Hope, she began bringing her stepson René Alejandro to all sorts of social events. With him around, Chaerin became even more in demand at various gatherings. Many befriended her despite her notorious past reputation because they wanted to get close to René Alejandro, the son of a Spanish viscount.

When they discovered that René Alejandro intended to stay for quite a while, he quickly became one of the top eligible bachelors in the country alongside V.

Before Lisa married Jennie, he is the number one eligible bachelor in the country. It didn't matter that there were many rumours about him being gay before. Many were still willing to marry him even if those rumours were true because of his billionaire status. Marrying him was the ultimate shortcut to a life of luxury. Too bad that Jennie Kim managed to fish such a gigantic whale before anyone else, leaving the others who wanted to marry Lisa disappointed and even heartbroken.

V became the next top eligible bachelor, not only in the country but abroad as well where his fame reached. He is a superstar whom many were fantasizing to be their boyfriend, lover, and husband. In addition, his identity as the younger brother of billionaire CEO Manoban also made him more desirable to a lot of dreamers hoping to marry him.

Another eligible bachelor is Jiyong Kwon. However, not many people were familiar with him. Most of the general public had no idea who he was. Only those who knew him as Sir Jian's grandson were gunning to attract him as a prospective husband.

Now that René Alejandro entered the scene, almost all the young, unmarried ladies in high society wanted to forge a connection with him. Not only was he the only son of a Spanish viscount and heir to old, noble money, but he also founded his own cybersecurity company which is doing quite well abroad. In short, he is also rich in his own right even without depending on his adoptive father's wealth.

Chaerin kept on showing him off as if René Alejandro is her own biological child. She wasn't even this enthusiastic when it came to her own daughter, Jennie Kim, back in the days.

This topic about René Alejandro was considered minor news but still quite important in the country's high society circles. If a lady married him, she wouldn't only become directly connected to Spanish nobility by marriage but would also enjoy her husband's wealth, not to mention the chance to give birth to beautiful half-Spanish children. These advantages alone were enough to raise her status in high society by several levels. Who wouldn't want to fight for this kind of opportunity?

While high society was clamouring to know more about René Alejandro, V launched another high-profile event—the official grand opening of the country's newest entertainment company, JLV Studio.

Jennie didn't attend again, citing health issues, but her husband, CEO Manoban attended for both of them. He joined his younger brother in cutting the ribbon to the newly renovated building that they converted to house JLV Studio. The brothers sat down with the journalists and other invited media representatives to answer some questions.

The focus was of course on the establishment of JLV Studio after V and Jennie both left their previous talent management company, Bright Summit. Even though the reporters wanted to make an issue between JLV Studio and Bright Summit, they couldn't. How could they when Bright Summit's current president attended JLV Studio's grand opening to openly show support?

"This is a question for CEO Manoban," a reporter said. "Many of us want to know why your wife, Jennie Kim, hasn't shown herself to the public for so long since her marriage with you. Is she really ill or is there some other reason? If she's really ill, may we know what kind of illness she's suffering from?"

"My wife is ill and in complete bed rest," Lisa answered. His expression was cold but his tone had a trace of gentleness when talking about his wife. "We're not ready to disclose her specific health condition yet. I want her to recover and become healthy again first before letting her clarify everything and return to work."

There were audible gasps among everyone present upon learning that Jennie is in complete bed rest. Was her condition that serious?

Another reporter asked, "CEO Manoban, did Jennie Kim become ill because of what happened to you? Or more specifically, when Diana Young, the former CMO of Manoban Corporation, plotted to violate you?"

"Hey!" V gestured for Sejin to stop the reporter for asking such a loaded question during what was supposed to be a day of celebration.

Sejin, now the Chief of Talent Management at JLV Studio, was about to move but Lisa stopped him.

"It's fine. I'll answer the question."

"Big Bro, you don't have to," V whispered to him.

"It's fine," Lisa repeated. Then he looked at the reporter who asked him the question straight in the eyes, causing the intimidated man to back up a few steps. "My wife's health hasn't been the greatest even before our wedding, but you're right."

All eyes of the reporters present lit up with interest. They leaned forward, eager to learn more and afraid to miss any words from CEO Manoban's answer.

"My wife fell ill the night that Diana Young plotted against me," he admitted. "In fact, she tried to run to where I was but her condition turned for the worse. Her doctor had no choice but to order a complete bed rest for my wife. That's why I can't forgive what the evil woman did. If it were only me, I might have let her off depending on how sincere her apology is, but since her actions against me caused direct harm to my own wife, I can't find it in me to be merciful."

Murmurs arose from everyone. The reporters were busy taking notes of what he said. After that, Lisa refused to answer any more questions that wasn't related to JLV Studio.

In the end, the professional V took over. JLV Studio's grand opening ended on a high note.
