I'm Secretly Married to a Bigshot [ JenLisa adaptation ]

Chapter 5

Nancy exited the washroom just as Jennie and Lisa took their leave.

She caught a brief glance of their back views as Jennie and Lisa turned a corner.

Although it was only a fleeting glance, she could be sure that the man with his arm around Jennie was definitely not some fat, short, old fogey.

He was a tall man with a good physique, and his dressing was presentable too.

She didn’t manage to see how he looked, but his back view was enough to get Nancy’s heart racing.

She was so shocked she stood rooted to the ground.

Then she heard someone beside her. “Nancy, are you alright?”

Nancy snapped back to her senses and blinked the shock away. She focused on Kai’s handsome face. “Kai, I saw… Sister.”

“Jennie?”

Kai’s expression changed. “You mean, Jennie was eating here too?”

Kai knew very well what sort of costs one would incur when dining here.

He also knew that Jennie was financially tight and wouldn’t be able to afford a meal at such a place.

The fact that she appeared here meant only one possibility.

Someone brought her here.

Nancy took in every slight change in Kai’s reaction. Her eyes glinted eerily before she furrowed her brows and continued, “Mm, I saw Sister with a man. They looked… really intimate.”

“Kai, Sister has only just broken up with you a while ago, she’s found another person so soon?”

Nancy’s words obviously had an underlying subtext.

As she guessed, Kai’s expression went awful upon hearing that.

He clenched his fists. “Are you sure you saw her?”

“I’m sure,” Nancy said with conviction. “I bumped into Sister in the washroom and even said hi to her. She’s still blamed me for all of it and refused to forgive me. Her hatred for me runs deep, and she even threatened me.”

At this point, Nancy bit her lip, as if feeling hurt.

“Threatened you? What did she threaten you with?”

Nancy feigned a pitiful look. “I wanted to offer her some job openings to ease her financial burden, but she rejected them. She wants us to stay out of her business. She even said that I love collecting rubbish and that I picked up the man she discarded.”

Kai was evidently upset. “She really said that?”

“Kai, why would I lie to you? Given Sister’s tone, it seems like she’s been planning to break up with you for a while now.”

“Kai…”

Nancy grabbed Kai’s arm. With an apprehensive look, she gently asked, “Could Sister have found someone powerful and outstanding? What if she’s using that man’s power to take revenge on us because she feels that we’ve betrayed her?”

Kai’s expression darkened even more as a cloud of fog veiled his face.

His eyes were burning with fury as if Jennie had made him a cuckold.

Although he and Jennie had already renounced their engagement, he still felt that she was his woman.

At the very least, he couldn’t accept that she’d found someone so soon after they broke up.

They’d spent so many years together, he surely had a place in her heart.
