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

Chapter 33

No matter what she did, she wasn’t going to be able to change her role as the “love rival” in Krystal’s eyes.

Krystal’s attitude towards her wouldn’t change as well.

This brother of hers was Jennie’s precious.

Otherwise, she wouldn’t have agreed to marry Lisa for the sake of Hanbin’s surgery back then.

The brother she doted on the most had been insulted so terribly by Krystal. It wasn’t strange that she would lose her cool.

She smiled coldly and responded to Rosé’s comment, “That’s right. This is the Young Miss of the Jung Family. Given that the Jung Family has some cultural background and foundation, I’d expected their children to at least be reasonably respectful.

“But looking at Miss Krystal's mannerism, it really shocks me.”

Rosé appeared to be in deep thought as she said, “Some people think they’re so much better just because their family is more well-off, and that anyone who gives them a second look is seeking connections.

“But she doesn’t know that she’s just a joke to people. Ha, what renowned family? I don’t give a crap how good you are, our Hanbin just doesn’t care for it. Oh, and I think I heard that it was Young Lady Krystal's younger sister who pursued our Hanbin first?”

She imitated Krystal’s previous look of disdain and mocked. “Some people are just blind and deaf and insist on distorting obvious facts. Who even saw Hanbin harassing her sister?”

Krystal’s expression darkened.

Rosé didn’t speak softly.

Many people had turned around when they heard her telling Krystal off.

Some of them knew Krystal and began engaging in private conversations.

Krystal had to watch her image now and couldn’t use equally harsh words to retaliate. She tried to force her anger down as she said, “Miss Jennie, what happened just now was all a misunderstanding. Indeed, I jumped to conclusions before getting things clear and maligned your brother. I apologize for that.”

More people turned to look at her.

Krystal had no choice but to apologize despite her indignance.

She had to maintain her image as the classy and gracious Young Lady Shen who didn’t pick fights with others in public.

But Jennie never intended to accept this patronizing apology.

She sneered. “Miss Jennie used such harsh words to insult my brother. You think you can brush it off by saying it’s just a misunderstanding?”

Krystal frowned when she saw that Jennie didn’t give her an out. “What do you want, then?”

Jennie eyed her directly. “Miss Shen humiliated my brother, and everyone here heard it. So, I want Miss Krystal to make a public apology.”

She pointed at the piano stage and said, “There’s a microphone there. If Miss Krystal is sincere about apologizing, please do so on stage.”

Krystal’s eyes widened as if completely shaken. “You want me to apologize on stage?”

“That’s right.”

Jennie sounded assertive and left no room for negotiation. “Go onto the stage and apologize to my brother. Say that you maligned him, and apologize to him directly.

“This sort of apology would be considered sincere.”

Krystal clenched her fists and her jaw. “Jennie, don’t go overboard.”
