The CEO's Incredible Heiress

Chapter 7: Honey

Nancy's eyes landed on her mask before she finally smiled. Despite her perfect figure, the scar on Jennie's face meant that Jennie would never be a beauty in the looks department.

Even if Lisa did not care about it now, it was impossible for him to feel this way forever, and it was impossible for the Manoban clan to acknowledge this disfigured woman as his wife!

The moment Lisa walked up behind Jennie, Nancy hurriedly added fuel to the fire. "Jen, are you okay? I'm so sorry for accidentally spilling that you are seeing Kai today. Now that Lisa has found out about it, we have to go secretly!"

Jennie kept smiling, but it did not seem genuine, so Nancy could not help feeling nervous when Jennie looked at her.

"Jen, what's up? Aren't we going to sign up for 'Ultimate Singer-Songwriter'?" Nancy quickly changed the subject.

Anyone who knew about the program would know that the most popular instructor on the show was none other than Jennie's ex-fiance, the top celebrity in the country, Kai!

Jennie only entered the entertainment industry for Kai's sake and followed him wherever he went. She did her best to act well when Kai was around. However, she was worried that Lisa would not let her go if she was too good. Hence, her performance was so inconsistent that she had more anti-fans than true fans.

Sure enough, the moment the man behind her heard what Nancy said, his mood changed visibly, and he looked like he was going to throw a temper tantrum.

Nancy gloated to herself. This time, Jennie was in trouble.

Lisa reached his hand out to hold Jennie's wrist before she could move a step and pulled her into his arms.

Jennie would have suffered a bad bump if she was unprepared.

"Now that we are married, if you try anything funny it's considered cheating, okay?" Lisa had a particularly pleasant husky voice. However, it sounded like a powerful lion's roar when he got angry and struck fear in her heart as each word struck her eardrums.

Jennie looked up at him and beamed. She said solemnly, "Uh huh. I won't betray you or commit adultery!"

Lisa clearly liked what he heard, so his eyes instantly brightened. However, he was incapable of fully trusting her, so his eyes went dark again.

Jennie sighed at herself. She treated him so badly in the past that it was understandable for him to distrust her.

She continued, "Lisa, now that we're married, we will be together forever. I know that it's hard for you to trust me now, but I will prove it in time! I'm really just heading out to work now."

Lisa held her hand without letting go.

"Honey, I want to work hard and stand by your side as an equal," said Jennie solemnly as she gazed at him.

The word "honey" sent a ripple through Lisa's heart and stunned him so much that he failed to hear the rest of her sentence. He let go of Jennie right away.

Jennie knew this meant that she could leave. She had an inkling of how powerful the word was.

If Jennie knew that she could get what she wanted by calling him honey, she would not have had to make all those promises to him.

She turned to Nancy, "Let's go!"

Nancy was startled. She only saw Lisa holding Jennie and did not hear their conversation.
