Jennie didn't answer Quan Yi Feng. She has already noticed Lisa in her peripheral vision. Lisa must have been standing at her back by now.

This woman blurted it out so loud because he was here. She wanted him to hear this, and create some chaos between them.

"I'm sorry Miss Quan, I usually don't remember insignificant events. Could you tell me the events that led me to take care of your brother Quan Lei?" Jennie smiled. Since this woman was shameless enough to spout out that kind of nonsense, Jennie would shamelessly play this game of words with her..

She wanted to know who was more shameless among the two of them.

"I... I... my brother told me that you have taken care of him once. So I assumed that..." Quan Yi Feng stuttered. How was she supposed to answer Jennie? Her brother indirectly told her these things.

The only reason she did this was to sow discord between Jennie and Lisa, just like what her brother wanted to do.

"It's okay MissKim... taking care of Mr. Quan is not something to be embarrassed about." Huang Guigu instantly added. Throwing shade on Jennie was something that she wanted to do for a long time.

Since the opportunity presented itself, she could only take advantage of it.

This made Quan Yi Feng sigh in relief. Coincidentally, her friend was stupid enough to provoke Jennie.

However, instead of feeling awkward, Jennie chuckled. "Miss Quan... If I remember correctly your brother still owes me fifty million for losing to Lisa. I wonder what your father thinks of it. Should I take some time to talk to him about that matter? Maybe by then, we could talk about this slanderous claims that you had made in front of everyone."

It was a blatant threat.

"Miss Kim I..." the mention of her father instantly made Quan Yi Feng nervous. Maybe, after all, talking to Jennie like this was wrong. She should not have listened to her brother's urging.

Jennie turned her back away from Quan Yi Feng and smiled at Lisa. "Tell your brother that if he thinks this kind of simple claims can sow doubts between Lisa and me, then he is underestimating us. Tell him not to provoke me again, or else he will regret it."

"One more thing." Jennie said while turning her head towards Quan Yi Feng. "I don't like your actions. Don't do it again, otherwise, I won't be merciful. You shouldn't blame me for being vicious then."

"Let's go Lis. I don't like this store." Jennie said before grabbing Lisa's hand.

The couple strutted their way out of the boutique, leaving the pale Quan Yi Feng and the fuming Huang Guigu.

"Hmp... How arrogant. I wonder if she could get another dress as good as mine for tomorrow's party." Huang Guigu thought out loud. This boutique was one of the most prestigious boutiques in the country. Lots of artists and prominent people shop there.

Since Jennie was not able to get a dress there, it could only mean that she will have a hard time finding one.

"That Quan Lei needs to be dealt with." Lisa muttered the moment they enter the car.

"I know. But let's not mind him for now." she shrugged. Quan Lei is just a fly, and 'flies' will be killed sooner or later. Jennie looked at Bei Ye, who was driving the car. "Bring me to RubyJane Corp."

She had forgotten that RubyJane Corp was making its own name in the fashion world. She could easily obtain a dress from them.

"Any news about your uncle?" she asked Lisa. They had already laid a trap for the culprit. Meanwhile, Alex was also trying to blackmail the one, who paid him before.

"No. But a few businessmen have already withdrawn their shares from the Wu Conglomerate and are negotiating with Manoban Conglomerate." Lisa answered.

"I have already had a feeling that the culprit wants Wang Group and Manoban Conglomerate to fight against each other." she said. This time, their opponent was indeed smart. She needed to be careful about her actions.

"How about Alex?" lisa asked. "Did he talk to the one, who ordered the attack on our companies?"

"Yes. He did." she nodded. "And the one, who paid him, agreed to pay him two million in his own currency."

"That's a lot of money," Lisa stated.

"That's why we should watch Manoban Family members next few days, to see who will withdraw that amount of money. " Jennie said, turning her head outside of the car. "Tell me about your aunt and female cousin."

"Zhang Liyin is a kind woman. We have a suspicion that her husband, my uncle, had been abusing the poor woman, but we cannot prove it. She is usually timid and shy around people." he answered. "My cousin, Xiaolan is a very sick kid. She and I are at the same age, but we barely talk to each other. She was home schooled and was protected by her mother so much because of her illness. She barely attends any gatherings or family meetings."

Jennie narrowed her eyes after she heard Lisa's words. A weird mother and a sickly daughter.

Something was amiss. Zhang Liyin's eyes gave her another feeling as if she was hiding something big...

A big secret.
