The Miss Mcdonie that Ah Fu was referring to was obviously Nancy.
Jennie passed her backpack to Ah Fu to help her bring it
upstairs. She saw that the influential person was really sitting there on the sofa in the hall.
Her legs were crossed while there was an arrogant smile on the corners of her lips, just like that time when Jennie saw her talking to Xia Tao in the coffee shop.
Somi stopped hiding in front of Jennie ever since she
revealed the exact details to her because covering up would be unnecessary. She was the real Somi whenever Lisa was absent.
"Do you really have so much spare time to come here? If you're looking for me, forgive me for being unable to accompany you!"
Jennie did not beat around the bush. She bluntly expressed that she did not welcome her.
Jennie's manner was cold. She had realized long ago not to befriend Somi because she knew about her animosity towards her. Moreover, since the other party was also lusting after her husband, it was unnecessary to be friendly towards her. Thus, she simply allowed her natural instincts to appear.
Somi sneered when she saw that Jennie's impatient face.
She flatly said, "I didn't come here looking for you! I'm waiting for Brother Lisa because I have something very important to tell him!"
As she spoke, Somi paused and waited for Jennie's response. Jennie furrowed her eyebrows while looking rather annoyed and scornful. She sternly glared at Somi but remained silent.
Somi looked somewhat disappointed because she had initially assumed that Jennie would panic. She continued, "I came to thank him. When he previously said that he was going to send me to Italy, I argued with him because I was unwilling to go. Now, however, he's promised to contact a local gallery and he's even invested several
million for me."
The stern look on Jennie's face remained.
"Once Mr Jisoo leaves after autumn, Brother Lisa has also promised to give me the mansion that he's currently staying in. How could I not thank him?"
Somi joyfully laughed after she had finished speaking. She did not come here to show her gratitude but she was clearly here to display her strength and show off instead.
She had originally heard some depressing news from Xue Meiwei only to return and obtained this information as well.
Jennie's heart was momentarily stifled with melancholy.
Lisa had previously told her that he wanted to send Somi
away. However, it looked like the situation had changed when she heard Somi saying these things now.
It was getting increasingly difficult for her to understand Lisa.
On one hand, he acted indifferently towards Somi when he was in front of her, but on the other hand he was secretly devoted to her.
The matter that involved him contacting the art gallery and paying several millions presumably happened because Somi had acted like a spoiled child. Was he really willing to pay several millions?
When she recalled how Lisa had discarded the suit in disgust that day, it was possible that he was intentionally doing this for her to see.
That mansion was also nearby the Manoban Family Mansion. When he allowed Somi to live in that mansion, was he actually planning to live a luxurious life with multiple wives?
Jennie's heart was filled with annoyance at Somi's blunt
attitude. Her stern face was completely devoid of even a hint of emotion when she said, "In the future, if you're looking for Lisa because you have some business with him, make a phone call or just call him over to Upper Mansion. You don't have to come to Hibiscus Garden!"
"Frankly, I don't like looking at you! I hate how you're openly lusting after Lisa even more!"
Somi's expression changed and became terribly contorted when she heard this.
Was Jennie already throwing a tantrum although she had yet to even launch her attack?
This sequence was wrong!
According to Somi's impression, Jennie was previously a
simple-minded girl. When did she become a sharp-tongued person to verbally attack others?
When she interacted with Jennie in the past, she merely thought of her as a naive woman who only knew how to pester Lisa and trail him. In other words, she tiresomely coaxed Lisa to gain his favor.
Later, she discovered that Lisa actually liked Jennie very
much although he spoke sarcastically to her on the surface. The heart of this man who always thought carefully was already inclined towards Jennie long ago.
Somi prepared to retaliate upon realizing that her territory trespassed. However, she discovered that she was powerless because Lisa had already decided to marry Jennie!
Thus, Somi lost her mind and did numerous insane things...
"Jennie, you're so shameful! Me, lusting after Lisa? He was originally supposed to be mine, okay? You stole the life that I was meant to have! Before you came and lived with the Manoban Family, the person who spent every day with him was me!"
"If you hadn't returned from Xi Fan and desperately pestered Lisa while I was abroad, do you think that you would be living in Hibiscus Garden today?"
Jennie saw that Somi was behaving arrogantly simply because she was Lisa's childhood sweetheart. She indifferently said, "I know that you care about the role of being the main woman in Hibiscus Garden. You can take it anytime if you like because I don't care about it as much as you'd imagine!"
While she spoke, Jennie saw that Somi was extremely
doubtful. She continued, "I never planned to live my entire life here while growing old with Lisa. Hence, I don't necessarily care about your concerns! However, my mother is the only remaining member of the Kim Family and she's still under Lisa's control while my brother's whereabouts are unknown. Thus, I simply have no choice!"
"I want to remind you that before I leave the Manoban Family, you still have to acknowledge my status as Mrs Manoban! Although you're rushing to take my place, you would have to wait for me to leave first. Therefore, you don't have to frantically run over and threaten me right in front of my face!"
Jennie's words had rendered Somi speechless after she
criticized her. After staring blankly, she was just about to rise up in revolt to refute her before her expression suddenly changed in an instant. She gently said, "Brother Lisa, you've returned!"
Lisa had one foot outside the door and another foot inside. He had clearly heard the woman's words...
Jennie grew slightly apprehensive when her eyes met Lisa's gaze. The things that she had said earlier were not entirely true but she saw that the man had a rather chilly look on his pale face...
...
The guilty woman became extremely obedient at night. After her shower, she sat on the bed and stared blankly.
Lisa had not lost his temper at all. On the contrary, he politely and considerately "chased" Somi away.
He did not say much to her while they were eating and simply went upstairs to feed Little Ginger Fur Ball and Briquet after they were done with their meal. Jennie sat on the bed and thought to herself.
On one hand, she felt rather guilty because of what she had said. Her words were rather severe because she was certainly upset at Somi at that time.
If she really did not care about Lisa at all, how could she be stupid enough to fight with someone like Somi?
On the other hand, this was her current situation. However, she was unwilling to live her entire life filled with doubts.
If the relationship between the Kim Family and the Manoban Family was verified later, Jennie could not imagine how things would conclude between her and Lisa.
While her thoughts were still in disorder, Lisa came out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his body.
The water droplets dripped off his hair and rolled down his abdomen.
His figure was unbelievably perfect.
Although she had experienced physical intimacy with him numerous times, Jennie still could not tear her eyes away from his body.
It did not matter that this was pointless. After all, she might as well get a good look because she would not necessarily get to see it again next time.
Jennie confidently stared because her gaze could not depart from his perfect torso.
Lisa was originally filled with rage but when he saw that Jennie was currently staring at him like a love-struck fool, he wondered if she really found him that attractive.
"So you've always had this thought!"
Lisa's tone finally changed one night. It was no longer
intentionally modest and gentle anymore. On the contrary, flames secretly rushed through his eyes while his voice was rather stifled and resentful.
Jennie consciously supported her body with her hands when she saw his questioning gaze while his dark figure approached her. She briefly retreated but could not avoid his dominance...
"No... It's not... That... I wasn't going to run away..."
She knew that she was at fault but the man's breath had also thrown her off. Jennie suddenly felt confused when she was pressed down underneath Lisa's body. She kept rambling because she had no clue about what she wanted to express.
"Run away?" Lisa heard her actually using that word!
