Perfect Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 26

"Let's go."

Inside the forest, Choi Myung had left a small convertible. They could also see a backpack full of traveling necessities. Lisa opened the passenger side door for Jennie. Once she was seated, he walked over to the other side and sat in the driver's seat.

"Damn it, why did he get such a small car?"

Compared to the cars that Lisa was used to driving, this car looked very tiny.

Even though she was still covered in cold sweat, Jennie couldn't help but laugh. Seeing Lisa crumpled up in the driver's seat as he drove, Jennie thought he looked hilarious.

"How can you laugh right now?"

He grumbled as he asked.

"Just look at you."

"Fine. As long as you're having fun."

The car's engine went vroom as they slowly began to move.

As they exited the forest, they saw a 2-lane road. The green hills looked like rolling waves. They looked around at their surroundings as Lisa turned the steering wheel and began to head west.

With both her hands clasped together, Jennie frantically checked the rear view mirror. Despite her worries, it didn't look like anyone following them. Were they okay? Did they really succeed?

Suddenly, they heard sirens.

The blood drained from Jennie's face. She couldn't speak. At first, she thought she was just hearing things, but after seeing Lisa's face, she knew that she had definitely heard police sirens.

"Oh my god."

A groan burst out of her lips.

What were they supposed to do?

Having turned ghastly pale, Jennie looked over at Lisa. He was also pale. This was the first time she had seen him like this. Have they been caught? That quickly? How could they escape this situation?

They were going up against a Swiss bank. Even the slightest careless mistake would have enormous repercussions. She was going to have to face the consequences. Including Lisa.

"Stop the car."

Jennie's voice was tight. Surprised, Lisa looked at her.

"You need to run away. Hurry!"

His eyes narrowed and pierced into her. Suddenly, he began to laugh.

"Kim Jennie, get ahold of yourself."

"Lisa! Now isn't the time to be doing this!"

"I'm not going anywhere without you."

His voice was firm.

"Lisa! Stop being ridiculous. You haven't done anything. Stop the car right now. I'm the one who did this!"

He stretched out his hand and grasped hers. He grabbed it so tightly that she couldn't shake him off.

"Kim Jennie, listen well."

He turned his head and glared at her. Thousands of emotions whirled around them like a tornado, but his eyes didn't waver.

"I'm not going anywhere. Both of us decided to do this, and both of us are going to figure it out together. Don't worry."

"Lisa!"

She could clearly see the police cars now. Two white cars with orange decals were quickly chasing after them. Lisa's hand tightened on the steering wheel.

Tears began to pool in Jennie's eyes. This was all her fault. It was all her fault that Lisa had been dragged into this. What was she going to do now...?!
