There was no way the Kim family’s chefs could have prepared these delectable dishes. Their appearances alone were sufficient to greatly stimulate everyone’s appetite.
Lisa pulled a chair out for Jennie.
His considerate action caused Krystal's eyes to burn in jealousy.
Immediately, she adjusted her expression and concealed the envy. She then curved her lips into a fawning smile. “CEO Manoban, there are so many dishes here. You won’t be able to finish these even if there were more people. May I join you?”
“What makes you think that you are worthy?” A hint of unhappiness appeared in Lisa's sharp eyes.
Krystal's smile stiffened.
Lilan saw that her daughter was refused and cajoled him sweetly. “CEO Manoban, please don’t be upset with Krystal. She’s still young and immature.”
Deep in her heart, she knew that Lisa would not be moved by the Kim family under the current circumstances.
Thus, Lilan shifted her stern gaze onto Jennie. “Jennie ah, your second uncle, your second sister and I are all starving. Why haven’t you asked us to join you yet?”
Jennie was transported back to the times when the Kim family used to leave her out whenever there was good food to eat. They only offered her the leftovers. She had never enjoyed even a bite of their luxurious, delectable dishes.
They had claimed it was to help her lose weight.
“The Kim family chefs have already prepared your food, haven’t they?” Jennie responded calmly. “You can set up another table.”
“How could our Kim home’s chefs compete with the chefs from the Yu Ting Villa.”
More importantly, it was a great honor to have a meal with Lisa. If news about this spread, countless people would rush to fawn on them in the near future. Lilan had a loving smile on her face. “Jenjen ah, you’ve always been a filial child. Quickly request CEO Manoban on our behalf.”
Lee Shuhai also said, “Yes, it’s rare for us to have a meal as a family.”
“Indeed. It’s been a long time since we ate as a family.” Jennie sneered mockingly.
Just as the Kim family assumed she would speak on their behalf to Lisa, Jennie changed the topic. “All this while, I’ve always been eating leftovers in the storeroom, while the rest of you enjoyed delicacies in the dining room. You never once offered any good food to me. Now that I have these delicacies to enjoy, why do I have to share them with you?”
Upon hearing this, Lisa's expression darkened.
Lilan noticed that Lisa's face was becoming stormy and she rushed to respond quickly. “Jenjen ah, you child, what are you talking about? Haven’t we always been eating the same food? Even if we stopped you from eating some things, it was because you’re overweight. Mom was worried you would fall sick. I was only trying to help you lose weight.”
“That’s right.” Krystal chimed in.
“CEO Manoban, don’t listen to her. My third sister is so fat. She is clearly eating ten times better than me. Otherwise, how could she have developed such a figure?”
Jennie's current weight did not happen only because she had eaten a large amount of oily and unhealthy food under Krystal's insinuations. It was mostly because she had consumed food that contained drugs that would stimulate weight gain.
But right now, she did not have any evidence of Krystal's actions.
Sooner or later, Krystal would strike again. When that happened, she would be ready to catch her in the act!
Don’t think that I’m helpless just because I don’t have any evidence right now.
Shuhai chimed in sincerely. “CEO Manoban, Jennie's personality is a little rebellious right now. Don’t listen to her lies. She is Lilan’s blood-related daughter. How could the Kim family abuse her?”
Lisa did not believe the versions provided by Kim Lilan, Lee Shuhai and Krystal. He asked them with a dark expression. “Where is the storeroom that Jennie lived in?”
He wanted to see it for himself, the sort of place where Jennie was previously made to live in!
