The CEO's Beloved Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 69.1

"Jennie." Lisa suddenly called her name. She looked up inquiringly and waited for her to continue.

"Thank you," she said seriously. Since she had grown up with no one but herself to rely on, she felt extremely touched and warmed by her solicitude.

When Lisa lost his heart to her, she'd thought that she couldn't love her any more than she already did, but she was wrong. After discovering her cute side and experiencing the gentleness beneath her overbearing demeanor, he found that he was falling deeper each day.

she gently squeezed her hand.

"Between you and I, there's no need for thanks." How much gratitude would she owe her from her past life then, if there was?

Lisa's lips arched into a smile that reached his eyes, and he held her hand even tighter.

They made their way back to Old Master Kim's side, and the banquet officially began.

"Thank you all for coming to this old geezer's birthday banquet. Once again, I have become a year older. All three generations of the Kim family is present today, and everything is going smoothly for us, with the only drawback being that I still have no great-grandchildren. Taehyung, Jennie, Lisa—the three of you need to work hard, you hear? I would like to see a new addition to the Kim family by this time of next year," Old Master Kim expressed his wish with a smile on his face, which only gave the three in question more pressure.

Taehyung had just divorced his former spouse, while Jennie and Lisa were clearly not close enough yet to have children. It was a mountain of pressure that Old Master Kim was putting on them!

Next came Father Kim, who said a few words as the head of the family before passing the microphone to Taehyung, the heir.

He was as expressionless as ever, but the power in his voice was undeniable.

"Thank you all for coming to my grandfather's birthday banquet. However, I would like to stress that this event is not a free-for-all. Our friends are welcomed, but we will not be courteous to anyone who came as an uninvited guest."

Jennie was known to be domineering, and her brother really wasn't any better. In any case, one should never provoke a member of the Kim family because provoking one meant provoking the whole pack, and each member would be more difficult than the last.

Naturally, the audience knew what the young heir was implying. Several of them had witnessed the commotion at the entrance earlier, and some were even daring enough to presume that the four great families of Capital City would soon undergo some changes.

Which families would remain after the battle? Regardless, there would be third parties that benefit from the tussle. If even just one of the four great families was destroyed, then a slot would open for a new family to take over. Already, the gears were turning in the minds of the ambitious families in the audience.

Jennie watched on with cold eyes as a malicious smile spread across her lips. Troubled waters were good for fishing. She believed that the participation of these people would it easier for the Kim family to acquire both the Lee family and the Manoban family.

After Taehyung's speech, the Kim family gathered to take a family photo. Old Master Kim pulled Jennie and Lisa to stand at his sides as he held onto their hands. Such a warm scene further concreted Lisa's status, emphasizing to the onlookers that the Film Empress had become the granddaughter-in-law of an influential family and was no longer a presence to be ignored.

Since it was the start of the banquet, most of the guests were crowded around the Kim family, who engaged with their own respective friends. Jennie and Lisa were surrounded by people from Kim Entertainment. The group consisted of the vice-president, the finance director, and the head of human resources respectively, as well as Jisoo.
