Married to the villain

Chapter 79: The toll

*********

Lisa shook her head and looked at Chen Jia's sincere eyes.

"It's okay. I understand where your worries came from."

When Chang Yuan was young, he had been unruly, drug-addled, and promiscuous. If it wasn't for Chen Jia, he probably wouldn't have been able to get to where he was now.

Moreover, he had always portrayed himself as a model husband who loved his wife. Chen Jia's world would probably collapse if he crossed that line.

!!

Lisa looked at Nancy again.

"Ms. Nancy, we've talked about this before. I gave you an answer and even offered to get you some help. I have to be honest, I saw this coming, but it doesn't change the fact that I'm still really disappointed with your actions."

If Lisa had not made preparations in advance, she would have been ruined by now.

Since ancient times, people were quick to jump to conclusions as unsubstantiated rumors flew about.

If Lisa attempted to talk her way out of it and explain herself on social media, it would have been far too late.

Her sharp gaze made Nancy's hair stand on end.

"I'm sorry. I got you into trouble without investigating it any further. I'm really sorry. I'll make a public apology later." Nancy lowered her head.

Sana turned her face to the side.

She was a pampered young lady of the Park family. How could she apologize for such a small mistake?

"Ms. Park, you're the one who called Lia here, right? There appears to be some misunderstanding between us. I suggest you clear it up now." Lisa looked at Sana.

Mingyu, who was standing at the side, was a little flustered. He just realized that they had forgotten to stop the broadcast and everything had gotten out.

He quickly stopped the live feed.

He had been fully aware of his sister's intentions and actions tonight.

Lisa looked at Mingyu's actions and smiled coldly.

As expected, Mingyu was still protecting his sister's reputation.

"As a rich young lady, you've always wanted to break up other people's marriages. Am I right?" Lisa looked at Sana.

"Yes, what's wrong? How can someone like you be worthy of him?"

Now that things had come to this, Sana gave up trying to maintain her facade. "Aren't you the same? You even threatened him by jumping off the building. What right do you have to earn his love?"

Lisa walked in front of Sana and reached out to slap her on the face. "What you did today almost ruined my acting career. Whether I deserve his love or not is a matter between us. You have such a strong background, but you're still busy thinking about being the third woman in a relationship. Isn't that simply ridiculous?"

Sana bit her lips tightly and did not say a word.

Mingyu stood in front of Sana and lowered his head slightly. "Please don't hurt my sister. I am the one in charge of the company and this banquet. This is all on me."

Mingyu thought that he would make Lisa waver.

But Lisa's eyes bore into him like cold steel.

Mingyu felt that his heart sinking. He was not used to this absence of shy anticipation.

No, this wasn't his style. When did he start to care about this woman?

"Apologize, compensate for me in court, nothing less," Lisa said slowly.

Mingyu's legs had not recovered yet. He moved slightly and bowed to Lisa. "Please forgive my sister. I will definitely compensate you for your loss."

When she looked at Mingyu, who was bowing and scraping for his family, Lisa felt her eyes moisten a little.

She recalled that before finding herself in this world, she had a few brothers like him. No matter what trouble she got into, they were willing to stand by her side.

"I'll have my manager and attorney talk to you about this." After saying this, Lisa turned around and left. Her eyes were beginning to sting.

Lisa walked to the rooftop outside, wanting to get some fresh air.

It was a little cold on the rooftop. Just as she crossed her arms and was about to find a place to sit down, a warm coat fell on her shoulders.

She turned around and was surprised to see him.

"Jungkook, why are you here?"

"I should have come sooner, but I was delayed by a meeting. I didn't expect you to suffer."

The moment she saw Jungkook, all of Lisa's defenses fell apart. She wanted to hide in Jungkook's arms and cry.

"Cry if you want to. It's my fault. I didn't get there in time." Jungkook touched her hair lovingly, his heart and eyes full of love.

If not for the meeting, he would have rushed over to get rid of those people.
