Although Jennie was curious, common sense told her that there was no reason for her older brother and René Alejandro to actually fight each other. Maybe the two men just didn't vibe well, hence their hostility with each other.

She thought this way, and yet deep inside, she still couldn't help but feel that there was something about the Spaniard that made her ill at ease. She already shared her opinions about René Alejandro with her husband.

"His background is clean," Lisa said before adding, "on paper."

She pursed her lips. Indeed, on paper, René Alejandro was clean. She and her two AI children plus ShaWn had been working together to dig deeper into the Spaniard's background but they couldn't find any dirty information about him other than her initial findings back then about his adoptive father, Chaerin's current husband's charity involvement with orphanages and that school for orphans.

Normally, this wasn't suspicious by itself. Even René Alejandro personally shared to them before during one of her visits with Chaerin that his father adopted him from one of the orphanages and that he attended the school for orphans. Despite this, Jennie just couldn't shake off the feeling that there was something iffy about him. The fact that her older brother was so hostile to the man was also enough for her to be suspicious.

Lisa leaned down to kiss her forehead. "Don't stress over René Alejandro. It's bad for you and our twins. If the man really has bad intentions against us, your older brother and I will deal with him. Besides, Louis and Luka are already keeping an eye on him."

"Alright." Jennie sighed, starting to feel sleepy. "I'll give birth safely first and really dig for more information about him if we still don't have anything new by then."

"En."

"Maybe we can glean something from him if we attend his birthday party."

Lisa doubted it but didn't contradict his wife's suggestion. He continued massaging his wife until she fell asleep. It was only then that he left the connecting bedroom and return to work in his office.

Jennie's nap only lasted for half an hour before she woke up. The husband and wife left the Corporation together even though work hours weren't done yet. Lisa wanted to accompany his wife because today was an important day for her.

Later, they arrived at a newly-built commercial building owned by a real estate business under Manoban Corporation. Jennie bought it through her real estate company, Gold Heights. Of course, Lisa approved it and had his own people facilitate the process to make everything smooth for his wife.

The building wasn't that large but it was in an excellent and prominent location. Passersby couldn't help but glance at the new building, especially after a big and brand-new logo was erected on it.

M Holdings.

Jennie smiled. She was delighted behind her mask and large sunglasses. Lisa accompanied his wife to stare at her new holding company. He squeezed her hand.

"Congrats, love," he whispered directly to her ear.

"Thank you." She pulled his hand and led him to the building's main entrance.

He chuckled at her combined excitement and impatience. Jae followed behind them holding his phone and recording the moment on video. Bodyguards protected them without being too obvious.

Their impressive appearance garnered many glances from other people but their simple disguise was quite effective. Nobody recognized them, and even if someone did, this place was considered as a new extension of the city's business district. People here were all busy and walked with purpose. They had no time to idle around and care about other people they passed by on the streets.

Compared to the prime location of Manoban Corporation's main headquarters, this place was less busy. Jennie preferred it this way. There were more possibilities for future development in this area. This was one of the reasons why she personally chose this place among the options that her husband presented to her.

As soon as they entered the building, Jennie's new staff greeted her. As someone who had several businesses under her name, she was already experienced in choosing and hiring staff. Lisa helped her as much as possible, of course, but the majority of the administrative selection was personally done by her.

This was her company after all. She didn't want her own employees to have the impression that Lisa is their real boss and that she was just a symbolic head. She wanted to show her employees and everyone that she was a competent businessperson just like her husband in her own right.

Jennie removed her mask and sunglasses. Then she looked at her employees. Most of them were young, new graduates. There were a few familiar faces that she transferred from her other businesses, mainly from Orchidia Beauty. As a result, it was inevitable that the majority of them were Black Stars.

"Boss!"

They were visibly trembling with excitement as soon as they saw her full face. Yet they controlled themselves very well and did their best to remain as professional as possible. Even though all they wanted at the moment was to run to their Boss and express their love and adoration for her, they didn't want to embarrass their goddess. They had already vowed to help their Boss establish herself as a capable business leader.

Jennie and Jae interacted with the staff while Lisa and the bodyguards watched over them. There weren't many of them yet but Jennie made sure that all the key positions were filled first.

Afterwards, they followed Jennie's new administrative assistant in a tour of the building. She already toured it before but this was the first time that she was seeing the completed look of everything. Most of the places were still empty but she could already envision a flourishing atmosphere in the future.

This was only the start.

Jennie appointed herself as the President-CEO of M Holdings.. She had no choice but to hire a new administrative assistant because Jae was unable to handle the additional work even though his education qualified him for the job.
