The CEO's Beloved Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 70

(long Chapter ahead)

The Kim family ate breakfast together as Mother Kim filled them in on how the public was responding to the events at the banquet. As expected, the Lee family and the Manoban family were working together to slander the Kim family, condemning them for being bad hosts and the younger generation, specifically Jennie and Lisa, for being outrageously disrespectful to their elders.

The Dragon's Emissary, on the other hand, called out the Manoban family for bullying their juniors, trying to use their in-law relationship with the Kim family to climb higher up the social ladder, and colluding with the Lee family when things didn't go their way.

The articles put Lisa's backstory to good use, emphasizing the Kim family's unwillingness to work with a family as cold-hearted, immoral, and untrustworthy as the Manoban family, and Lisa's objection to acknowledging his so-called father and biological family, as well as his wish for the Manoban family to stop disturbing her current life with her new family.

Naturally, the articles had been consented by Lisa before they were published. Although some people disapproved of her attitude and believed she should acknowledge his biological father, the vast majority agreed that a father like Father Manoban did not deserve to be acknowledged.

Even without knowing the truth, the masses could tell that the Kim family was warring against the Lee family and the Manoban family. The public opinion was divided, and several discussions appeared online. Some netizens claimed that they had been present at the banquet and therefore had inside information, while others claimed to be from the same orphanage as Lisa and told of his sad past.

Among all the participants of the discussions, Lisa's fans were undoubtedly the most fervent. They stood almost one-sidedly behind her and supported every decision she made while simultaneously condemning the Manoban family for mistreating their idol.

In the beginning, Lisa was just a regular actress. After she gained recognition for his exceptional acting skills, she became an idol-level actress. Now, with the help of the Manoban family affair, she upgraded to being an inspirational idol-level actress and won even more recognition.

Neither Lisa nor the Kim family wanted to put his past in the spotlight, but if they didn't seize the opportunity and use it in their favor first, the Lee family and the Manoban family would take advantage of it instead.

The news of Lisa's participation in the Tianhai charity performance had also been released, instantly gaining her the praise and support of numerous fans.

Niki learned of the conflict between the three families and being the insightful businesswoman she was, promptly made the decision to donate a third of the revenue from the charity performance to the numerous orphanages around the country. This would be done on behalf of Lisa.

Then, she had another idea and met with Lisa and Jennie to discuss the prospect of further collaboration.

"President Kim, Lisa, it would be extremely beneficial for us to establish a charitable foundation together. It can also be considered a kind act of giving back to the society. How about it?" she proposed, looking at the married couple with expectant eyes.

"You're right," Jennie nodded in agreement, but before Niki could rejoice, Jennie's next words rendered her speechless. "But why should we cooperate with you?"

"You... are you going to burn the bridge after crossing it?" Niki suddenly felt that she had made a very foolish decision.

Jennie was right. If the couple worked together, they would already have everything they needed, whether it be money, power, connections, or publicity. There was nothing Niki could help them with!
