After Jennie and Lisa arrived at the RubyJane Corp., the duo immediately asked Rosé about the newly designed dress.

"Don't worry. I have the best dress here." She enthusiastically said before leading them to another room. Her excitement apparent in the way she skipped while walking."So when are you coming to work with us again? Everyone missed you. Of course that includes me and Bai'Li."

"I don't know maybe after Grandfather Manoban's birthday." Jennie said. She will only go back once they already dealt with the person who attacked her companies.

"Oh.... Okay... here it is. Do you like it?" She led them into a dress inside a display made of glass.

The dress was red. It was a sleeveless pleated tea length dress. The pleats made it look vintage and the exquisite stones on the hem of the dress made it look modern at the same time.

"So? What do you think?" She asked, her eyes sparkling. "We made this design especially for you. I know this will differently look good on you. This is a special edition. Never released on the market."

"Wow... are these diamonds?" Jennie asked.

"Yes. We featured this on the game as a limited edition dress for a week and we earned millions of revenue!" she answered excitedly. She and Bai'Li did their best to design this dress as a welcome gift for Jennie. However, they never had the time to give this to her. "Try it on."

"Sure."Jennie beamed before glancing at lisa who was also staring at the dress.

...

After the dress had been settled, Jennie received a call from Wang Mino telling her that there were some activities on Manoban Honglie's side.

The duo then instantly made their way into the Wang estate.

"What is it?" she asked the moment she saw Wang Mino.

"There had been activities in Manoban Honglie's bank account."

"How much?" Lisa asked.

"More than 10 Million yuan."

Jennie nodded. "How was Alex?" Jennie inquired.

"He said the person who paid him will send the money tonight." Wang Mino answered.

This time, Jennie lowered her head to contemplate. What a coincidence.

"Is the bank account that Alex used safe?" she asked.

"Yes. I am positive that they cannot trace it back to us."

"Good."Jennie nodded. "Tell me everything that you know of this Manoban Honglie."

Wang Mino pulled a folder from his table and gave it to Jennie. Then he reluctantly looked at Lisa. "He loves gambling, He also had two mistresses outside. However, he was trying his best to keep this a secret from his family. But I believe his wife is aware of his... extracurricular activities."

"How was his relationship with his wife?"

"Unknown. We can't find anything." Wang Mino answered. "All we know is that his wife went abroad with her daughter when she was thirteen. Then only Zhang Liyin came back after a month. Her daughter, Fu Xiaolan came back just a year ago. She spent almost ten years abroad away from her family."

"What do you think?" she asked Lisa. This is his family after all.

"He must be building influence to support his son. He will gain new supporters if he would be able to pull some investors from the Wu's to the Manoban Conglomerate."

Jennie nodded. "I think so too. I want you to announce that I am the owner of RubyJane Corp to throw off their plans. By then I'm sure he will panic and make some mistakes."

"Wouldn't that attract more attention to you?" Wang Mino said.

"I don't care. Now that I am married..."

"I'm sorry what did you say?" Wang Mino interrupted her.

"I said I don't care."

"No... after that." Wang Mino asked, his eyes wide. "Did you say... you were married?"

"Oh right... I was going to tell everyone tonight. I married Lisa yesterday." Jennie said nonchalantly. For Jennie, this marriage is not really some surprise to her family. Everyone already agreed to keep this a secret.

"And you did not even tell me? What's wrong with you?"

"I was going to tell you together with grandfather and everyone. Okay? Let's go back to the topic. The party is tomorrow and we need a plan." To Jennie, the culprit is their priority.

This person already cost them millions of losses. She cannot let this person continue running around.

Wang Mino rolled his eyes to his cousin. True. Their priority should be the one who attacked them just a few days ago.

"So who do you think is the culprit?" he asked his cousin. "I think it's Lisa's uncle."

"I can't say... At first, I thought it was his uncle as well. Now, we finally have some evidence pointing us to him. But, I don't want to do something drastic." Jennie wanted to add how she wanted to make sure before making a step. She already learned her lesson when Wang Mino was shot. She would not let her arrogance affect her.

This time she will make sure that her plan is a hundred percent foolproof.
