"This is not complete." Lisa uttered when he read Grandma Kim's diary. "This is like a part of a sentence. Do you think... what if there is another part of this diary somewhere? Like the other part where the other part of the sentences was written."

"That is very good logic." She nodded as she opened the diary, reading the entry again. "This is... most of this is about me. My name was mentioned. The last entry was just last year. "It says... 'I, her. Suspicious.' Now... that was a very, very interesting last word to write in a diary before she died."

"I agree. Do you think she is talking about you?"

"No idea." She shrugged before she yawned. "You know... what if... she was just having fun writing these things and decided... 'oh! I will make my dear Ruby Jane the heir of my property so she could find this in my study and have fun solving these clues'. I mean... what if she only wanted to mess with me?"

"Now... Why would she do that? When you disappeared, everyone thought that you died, but she never stopped writing about you." Lisa said. "That means two things. One, she knows that you are alive somewhere and knows that you will come back. Or two, she really just wrote this for the sake of writing. Maybe she wanted to tell you a lot of things, regrets, or words that she never told you when you were still 'alive'."

"Yeah... I guess it's the first one. She must have known. Or at least... believed that I was still alive."

"Hmmm." He gave the diary back to Jennie as he lay down next to her. "I will get some sleep. I have another meeting at ten in the morning."

"Oh! By the way... did you see Qi Xia? You were really fast. Did you get some info about the foreigner?"

"No. Unfortunately, Chuan gave him a powerful drug. But we had a deal, and Sehun is already taking care of it."

"Oh!"

"You were right about Chaerin, though." He said as he closed his eyes. "She is still alive and still being tortured. Chuan said she had gone insane, but she might be pretending. Well... that would not matter. I asked him not to kill her."

Jennie pursed her lips, saying nothing. She then stored the diary in a safe place before she snuggled in his arms. "I will sleep too." She said, smiling.

In response, Lisa let her use his arm as his pillow as he drifted into a dreamless sleep.

.....

When Jennie woke up, she was alone. She immediately checked her phone and read the note that Lisa left in a sticky note on top of the nightstand. He already left, and he reminded her not to forget her vitamins. Smiling, she checked the time and realized that it was already twenty minutes past ten in the morning. She immediately showered and dressed before she walked downstairs, only to see Taehyung eating in the dining room with his laptop next to him. She immediately concluded that he was waiting for her, he must be planning to accompany her to the office.

"How was the news article?" She asked as she sat opposite to him.

"Deleted." He chuckled. "And someone is fuming." He pointed at his laptop and showed Jennie that he was actually watching Mr. Li throwing all his things on the floor, in rage.

"Is this live?" It was a silly question to ask. She knew it was a live video. He must have hacked into their CCTV, she thought before she started eating her breakfast.

"Unfortunately, the CCTV did not have any voice access. We can't hear what they were saying."

Jennie only chuckled in response. Who would want to listen to an old man trash talk?

Meanwhile, Mr.Li is not so happy to learn that the news was immediately taken down before it caught the eyes of the masses. Was Jennie always watching the web?
