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

Chapter 17

She charged towards Jennie with her arm raised.

Before the slap landed, someone had already grabbed her arm in mid-air.

One of the bodyguards had stepped in front of Jennie and was swinging her arm away.

Lin Huizhen staggered a few meters from the force of the swing, and with a shriek, landed on the floor awkwardly.

She fell in a terrible position.

“Oh, ow! My back, it’s broken.” She moaned in agony on the floor.

“Mom!” Nancy widened her eyes and hurriedly went to help her up.

Lin Huizhen had one hand on her back while her face scrunched up in pain. “Master, you’ve got to help me with this. I can’t possibly stay in this house, being bullied by her! How could I?”

A few of the housemaids who had tried to stop the bodyguards were also on the floor.

With no proper training whatsoever, how could they be a match for these professional bodyguards?

One bodyguard could take down a group of them.

The rest dared not step forward after witnessing their prowess.

“Jennie, you’re a horrible bully!”

Nancy helped Lin Huizhen to her feet. “My mother is your stepmother, and she’s your elder no matter what! How could you treat her like this! Do you think you can do whatever pleases you just because you’ve got a backing now!

“You’re ridiculous and immoral!”

Kim Ruhai trembled from the anger and raised his arm to give Jennie a slap too.

This time, Jennie did not stay there to be hit by him.

She simply turned away expressionlessly.

Kim Ruhai’s hand landed on air.

Seeing how Jennie just evaded it, Kim Ruhai was even more enraged. “Sinner! How dare you! You could even do this to your mother, I’ve got to teach this sinner a lesson!”

He then raised his arm again.

Kim Ruhai was a very proud man.

Seeing the trouble his daughter had caused, all he wanted to do was to re-establish his authority as the head of the household.

“Old Master Kim, if you do not wish for the Kim Firm to end up like Sheng Hui Corporation, I suggest you do not act on impulse. You may not be able to bear the consequence of this slap.”

Father Kim heard a firm, authoritative voice coming from behind him.

The man’s voice was not loud, but the room went silent the moment he spoke.

Nancy, standing beside him, became shocked.

She widened her eyes and turned around.

She saw a tall and imposing man with a domineering presence walking up the stairs.

A flicker of surprise flashed past her eyes.

It’s him! The mysterious man!

Although Nancy had been criticized by him the last time, she found that she simply couldn’t forget him after the incident.

She even dreamt of him.

She’d always thought that Kai was her one true love.

But after meeting this man, she realized that he was actually the one for her.
