Perfect Wife (Jenlisa Adaptation)

Chapter 32

"Last night, during the LM anniversary banquet at S hotel, a video file was released that has been making a huge impact in our country. The video was of Gong Hyo Jin, the daughter of Keum Young, who passed away 13 years ago. This video was on every screen in the hotel. It was also released on the internet. Many viewers are still leaving comments on the post."

"Yes. 28 years ago, Ryu Hwa Company and Keum Young Investments merged to form the powerful investment company R&K. The only daughter of Keum Young, Kang Yina, and the eldest son of Ryu Hwa, Kim Dae Yup were married in order to seal this merger. Although Gong Hyo Jin already had a family, her previous husband and her son suffered a fatal car crash. The video revealed that the crash was actually planned by the ex- President Kim Dae Yup and LM's President Liam Manoban. As this video spread out to the public, our citizens are in complete and total shock."

"This is truly a terrifying and sickening story. A premeditated murder and a contract marriage... It's truly uncivilized and disgusting. How has R&K and LM responded to this?"

"R&K's ex-president and LM have both firmly protested and denied these allegations. However, other evidence that says otherwise is beginning to pop up all over the internet. It looks like these two presidents will have a hard time avoiding police questioning."

"Haa, this story is so tragic that I can hardly believe my ears. But I heard the more pressing story actually involves President Liam Manoban's son, Directly Lalisa Manoban, and Gong Hyo Jin's daughter, Kim Jennie."

"Yes, if we look at their parents, they were supposed to be mutual enemies. However, last April, they celebrated their 2nd anniversary. Will this couple be able to stay married after all this? Many of us are curious about the story behind how they even got married in the first place..."

"Damn it."

Rosé moved the mouse and turned off the live stream. The room plunged into silence. The sunlight poured over the humming computer. She could hear the children running on the streets outside. To anyone else, this day was an ordinary day like any other. To someone else, her world had completely collapsed.

After Rosé closed the browser window, three laughing faces were looking back at her. The photo was of high-schoolers Jennie and Rosé, and even Mino was by their side. The picture was taken 10 years ago. Rosé saw her own brightly smiling face, Jennie's slight smile, and Mino's blank expression on the monitor.

After staring at the picture for a bit, Rosé quickly moved the mouse and began searching for the button to delete the photo. However, the cursor remained on the 'delete' button for a while. She had nurtured an unrequited love for one man for so long. She had been disappointed and angry with him before, but she had never hated him.

Rosé calmly looked at the man's face in the picture before clicking the 'delete' button. Maybe she should have gotten rid of these feelings a long time ago. Because she wanted to see him, she had chased him all the way back to Korea. And yet these memories were being erased like this.

Ding-dong. The doorbell suddenly rang.

Surprised, Rosé turned her head and looked at the front door. Then she turned back and looked at the small room behind her. The door had remained closed all this time. Jennie had not left the room at all. 3 days had passed since the scandal. Jennie wasn't eating, drinking, talking, or crying.

Did Jennie's husband come for her? Rosé quickly ran over to the door and looked through the peep hole. Surprisingly, the man outside wasn't Lisa. It was Song Mino.

– Open up, Rosé. I know Jennie's here.

Rosé looked at him for a while before straightening up. Yeah, she knew he'd show up here eventually. Jennie didn't have anywhere else to go but here. As soon the door opened with a creak, she saw a restless Mino standing there.
