The CEO's Beloved Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 25

In front of Jennie, Lisa was cautious, steady, and could even be considered obedient. she was not disposed to disagree with her decisions, but that didn't mean she was without a temper.

When bullied, she would naturally bully back. she hadn't known who was behind the scandal before, but now she did. At this point, how could she still remain neutral? Besides, Jennie detested Sunmi too. It would be out-of-character for Lisa to do nothing about Sunmi.

Back in university, both Lisa and Sunmi had belonged to the finance department. In addition to finance, Lisa also did management. Even though she ended up in the entertainment circle and became its eminent Film Empress, she continued to hold firm on the knowledge she'd gained in university.

A long time ago when Lisa earned her first capital, she started on initial capital accumulation and made Many investments. Therefore, not only was Lisa well-connected in the entertainment industry, but she was also familiar with a few notable individuals from the business industry.

Lisa returned to his study, where she spent some time making three separate phone calls.

If Jennie was present, then she would've realized that the plan Lisa had in mind was actually over 70 percent similar to the plan she herself had come up with to deal with the Lee family.

Maybe this could be considered a sort of tacit understanding?

Although they were both lacking greatly in EQ, at least they could make up for it in IQ.

"Now that we're done with the formal business stuff, why don't we talk about some other things? We're friends, and even though I'm not in the country right now, you didn't tell me anything about your marriage. You only contacted me because you needed me to do something for you—say, aren't you going too far?" The Woman scoffed, making Lisa feel somewhat helpless. She knew the Woman was going to be like this.

"Bambam, all of it happened unexpectedly. It's too complicated to explain," Lisa gave an explanation that wasn't quite an explanation.

Her and Bambam were high school classmates, and Bambam was one of the few close friends Lisa had. However, when university started, Bambam went abroad, and the two were not able to see each other often.

They still kept in close contact with each other though. Bambam was very talented in the computer field and had his own means of getting information, so despite being overseas, he was pretty knowledgeable about the happenings inside of the country. This was why Lisa decided to ask her for help.

Before making this phone call, she had also contacted a very influential underground boss to help her keep an eye on the Lee family.

"What? So Miss Jennie isn't your sweetheart? Or should I say that your three years of marriage were all fake?"

In the past, very few people knew about Jennie and Lisa's secret marriage, so naturally, very few people had bothered to look into it. However, after they disclosed their relationship, more and more people eventually found out about how long they'd hidden their marriage for. Bambam was one of those people.

Out of curiosity, he'd done some investigating and was thoroughly shocked to discover that the couple had been married for three years already. He had just been about to call Lisa and pick a bone with her when the Woman herself called instead.

"You investigated me?" Lisa's voice chilled. He didn't mind Bambam investigating her, but this time Jennie was involved, so that made Lisa feel unhappy.

"Don't be mad. I was just worried about you. Plus, it's not much of a secret anymore. I was just thinking, being with Miss Jennie..., is it pressuring?" Bambam honeyed his tone a bit, but his brooding was still more obvious.

He was not oblivious to who Jennie was. After all, the Kim family was an existence that simply couldn't be ignored, and Jennie herself had long since earned a lofty name for herself. He had a pile of information on her in his database, but it had never occurred to her that a Woman like this was married to his own friend.

Jennie.

Countless people called her "President Kim," but in private, most of them referred to her as "Young Mistress Jennie."

The latter represented her status in the entertainment circle, and at the same time, it embodied her personality: Strong, decisive, cold, and arrogant. She was truly worthy of her "Queen" title.

Early on when Bambam noted her valiant record of achievements, he had wondered: What kind of Woman would be worthy of such a Woman?

Now that he knew Jennie and Lisa were together, he didn't stop to consider if the two were compatible because as he saw it, it was impossible for the two to be together!

Jennie was powerful and cunning. She was extremely self-centered, and women like her were usually without a soft side. They were even less capable of making compromises. In other words, being with Jennie would require a great deal of patience and tolerance, and according to Bambam's understanding of Lisa, Lisa was not that kind of Woman.

Instead, she was the type to appear cold on the outside while bearing a firm heart on the inside. How could a Woman like her be suitable for a Woman like Jennie?

Thinking about it, Bambam couldn't help but feel complicated and worried for Lisa.

"We're doing very well, don't worry." Lisa lightened his tone, understanding that his friend was just trying to look out for her. However, he still gave a very blunt warning nonetheless: "Don't investigate into our affairs anymore, just ask me directly if you're curious. Jennie doesn't like it when others investigate her."

"Lisa, how could you prioritize hoes over bros coughI'msorryIcouldn'thelpmyself love over friendship like this! Back when we were in university, don't tell me the reason you suddenly entered the entertainment circle was Jennie?"

And... He was right.

Lisa's silence served as tacit agreement, giving Bambam —who had just been joking— a huge shock.

"No way. You seriously entered the entertainment circle for Jennie? Are you crazy?" For a Woman to give up his career for a Woman... Bambam found it unbelievable, and even more so when the Woman was one like Lisa. After a brief pause, Lisa gave a firm response, "She's worth it."

Jennie was worth it! Entering the entertainment circle for her was nothing—if necessary, she would do anything she wanted her to do.

Unfortunately, she never had anything for her to do. Or, rather, she never needed her to do anything for her. She was so outstanding that it made her feel ashamed. Nothing could be done about it, he could only sit silently in a dark corner and watch her shine.

That was why when she noticed the possibility of her enjoying his cooking, she was ecstatic; when she learned that she had picked out scripts for her, he was determined to put in his all; and when she knew that she needed his cooperation, he stood unhesitantly by her side.

Although all of this might only serve to support the notion that what Jennie felt for her wasn't love, Lisa was still very satisfied. At least she was doing something for her, right?
