Jackson hesitated for a bit and said, "Nah. Let's move to Taoran House. That place is quieter and better for talking business."


"Okay." Jennie consented.


After the phone call, she immediately started to rehearse based on the script. She needed to prove to the director that she had great acting skills.


Jennie spent a long time rehearsing before she fell asleep.


On the second day, Jennie received a phone call from her uncle Kim Jung-Hyun.


Jung-Hyun asked her to have dinner with him and his family.


Jennie said yes without hesitation.


Jennie's parents had died because of an accident when she was eight, and her uncle Jung-Hyun had been her guardian ever since. However, Jung-Hyun didn't just become the guardian of her, but also of her parents' inheritance.


Jung-Hyun's family had had a very comfortable life because of Jennie's parents' money, and they didn't plan for Jennie at all. 


Three years ago, Jennie had tried hard just to get a small part of the inheritance back right after she became an adult, and then, she established Star Brilliance Company with Mu Yanhuai. After that, she had been too busy running the company to get back the inheritance.


Now that she and Mu Yanhuai were about to go their separate ways, she may need to purchase Mu Yanhuai's shares, which meant she had to get back her parents' inheritance.




Chapter 14: You've Spent All The Inheritance



Jung-Hyun lived in a house in the south of Seoul City, and that house belonged to Jennie's parents.


Which meant the house belonged to her.


However, Jung-Hyun and his family didn't feel like they had been occupying Jennie's house.


Jennie pouted and walked in.


"Jen, here you are." Jennie had gotten very overweight these days, and he looked like a Maitreya when he laughed. As for his wife, Shin Hye-Sun, she looked slender and mean.


Fortunately, her cousin Kim Siyan hadn't inherited any of the flaws of her parents and could be called pretty.


"Uncle, you seem to be having a wonderful life," Jennie said sarcastically.


Jung-Hyun didn't seem to notice her sarcasm. He said, "Come on in, we've prepared the meal for you."


As for Hye-Sun and Kim Siyan, they looked kind of irritated.


Jennie didn't mind that at all. She sat down and started to eat.


"Jennie," Hye-Sun said. "You told us you'd support Siyan going to college overseas when you took the money from us to establish your company."


"Really?" Jennie blinked and said. "I remember my parents left the money to me."


"What do you mean?" Hye-Sun was impatient. "Your uncle and I fostered you for all these years. We've spent so much money on you! You've spent that inheritance! I haven't asked you to pay us back yet."


"What're you talking about? Jen is my niece. How can I ask her to pay us anything?" Jung-Hyun pretended to be angry and gave Hye-Sun a glare, and then, he smiled at Jennie and said, "You aunt was just being rude. Please forgive her."


Jennie was a bit surprised. She couldn't remember the last time she had been back home, yet she never would have expected Jung-Hyun's family to be that shameless.


They were implying she owed them money.


Jennie almost burst out laughing.


"Really?" She said, "My parents left a list. Should we do some calculations and see how I spent ten million dollars worth of inheritance?"


"What ten million dollars? Don't exaggerate things." Hye-Sun said. "You parents were just poor teachers. How could they have had ten million dollars?"


Jennie gazed at her coldly.


Although she'd been only eight years old, she'd known how to read properly. She'd read the list given by the lawyer and could remember it clearly.


"Jen." Jung-Hyun said. "You're the boss of a company now, and your company is worth at least tens of millions of dollars. I know you don't need money. Why are your squaring accounts with us? Your aunt and I have been taking care of you for more than a decade, and your aunt cares more about you than Siyan."


Kim Siyan also played around and looked upset.


Jennie couldn't have found it more ironic.


Jung-Hyun and Hye-Sun had never tortured her, yet she wasn't treated better than a servant. They had never cared for her, and she would starve if she missed the dinner time. 


Kim Siyan was overbearing and spoiled, and she always bullied her. If Jennie fought back, Hye-Sun would beat her to comfort Kim Siyan and forbid her from eating.


How dare they say they cared about her more than Siyan?
