Perfect Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 16

Her ears were ringing.

Her mind was blank.

It would have been better if he had gone on a rampage... If he had told her she would never get away with this. It would have been better if he had just threatened to kill Song Mino.

"Because I don't want to be separated from you."

It didn't make any sense. She never dreamed that he would say something like this.

"No matter what happens, I don't want to be separated from you. Is that enough of an answer for you?"

No. Jennie shook her head. He didn't mean that.

"Jennie. Hurry up and tell me where the money is."

It's just sweet talk. Doesn't everyone say that he's a cold and calculating man? That he believes women are laughable? Wasn't this marriage a result of a contract?

Lalisa Manoban, you shouldn't act like this. This is cheating.

"Jennie!"

He grabbed her hand and called out. Still frozen, she looked at him. He was telling the truth. His gloomy, dark eyes. His pale face. He was definitely in shock and furious, but he was still trying to fix this.

"...Alright."

He shouldn't act like this. She couldn't believe his reaction.

You shouldn't be like this, Lalisa Manoban.

"Okay. Tell me. Where is the money? Luxembourg? Zurich?"

She opened her purse. There was a USB and a thin pen inside.

She took out the USB and handed it over to him.

"If you look in here, you'll be able to find it."

Lisa paused and looked at her. His brow was furrowed.

The whereabouts of the 500 billion are inside this USB...?

Suddenly, Lisa felt a prick on his neck. Surprised, he raised his head. Jennie was looking at him strangely. She was holding a silver pen in her hand.

"...I'm sorry."

She whispered.

What is she talking about?

He raised his hand and touched his neck.

"...The dose has been adjusted according to your weight, so you'll wake up in an hour. Lisa, I'm so sorry."

Her voice began to fade away. He didn't understand what she was saying.

The Han River was as black and blue as always. Jennie was quietly sitting in the passenger seat and looking out at the river. Who knew what was flowing within those black waters? She didn't know why she felt so horrible. Why was her hand trembling like this? Why didn't she just open the door and disappear?

She turned her head and looked at Lisa. Unconscious, his head was tilted to the side. She thought her husband looked different than the first time they met.

When he arrived at their marriage meeting, he looked clean, sophisticated, and terribly cold. Now he looked... She didn't know how to describe it. Why didn't he want to break up with her after learning about everything she'd done? Why was he trying to cover up all her mistakes...?

Jennie looked at his closed eyes, the shadows of his eyelashes, his straight nose, and his lips. His hair, his shoulders, his limp hands...

Starting from the first night of their marriage until this morning, she had been embraced by him countless times. Sometimes it hurt, sometimes it shook her, some nights she went crazy and lost herself...
