The rankings from the elder to the younger members of the Manoban Family were clear to see.
Even if Lisa's capabilities were superior, and despite the fact that the Old Mistress doted on him, he still needed to occasionally bow his head to his elders. The people who came from the Capital City observed that certain matters like the inheritance of the elder's status would still prioritize Taecyeon as he was the eldest amongst the children.
If Lisa had impregnated Somi first and later taken the child back to the Manoban Family, then that child's ranking in the hierarchy would still be higher than Jennie's child's, even if he was an illegitimate child...
Thus, the city was awash with rumors that she had killed Somi after being overcome with jealousy!
Jennie was not a person who fussed over rankings or money. She was only concerned with one thing: who was it that Lisa genuinely cared about?
When this child was mentioned, Jennie felt as if her heart had been violently stabbed with a knife.
Feng Rao, on the other hand, became pleased when she noticed that Jennie's expression had changed.
She smiled at the people around her and said, "Even if you really did manage to free yourself from suspicion, what status do you hold that allows you to attend the Manoban Family's banquet here today?"
It was evident that not everybody was aware of the fact that she had already been released from prison. Moreover, they were even less aware of the fact that Lisa had taken her back to the Manoban Family Mansion and given her the status of the Third Young Mistress of the Manoban Family!
"She's the Third Young Mistress of the Manoban Family, of course she's allowed to come!" Tzuyu suddenly appeared behind Jennie and said in an icy tone.
The dignified and imposing Wen ya was actually the wife of the Manoban Family's eldest grandson. She gave off an impressive aura as she and stood behind Jennie before placing her hand on her shoulder and glaring at Feng Rao.
These two sisters-in-law really made for a beautiful sight.
Two of the four most beautiful socialites in the city had married into the Manoban Family. There was also Yuna who was originally a member of the Manoban Family. In other words, there were so many beauties in the Manoban Family that outsiders would no doubt be filled with jealousy.
Feng Rao was startled by Tzuyu's words. She took a step backward and looked at Tzuyu in disbelief before stuttering, "The Manoban Family... would accept a murder suspect like this?"
"I told you that I didn't kill anyone. Miss Feng, since you're so insistent that I'm guilty, the court gladly welcomes you to provide them with new evidence if you'd like!"
Jennie could endure other's biting words, but she could not take the accusation of being a murder suspect.
However, her cool, pretty face did not carry any traces of maliciousness. On the contrary, her unwavering conviction resulted in a confident glow that seemed to subdue this venomous woman.
It was hard to believe that her sharp-tongue did not deteriorate at all despite bitterly suffering for two years in prison. Although, she did become calmer and less prone to lashing out...
The young ladies beside her were used to seeing Jennie's elegant side. However, upon just now seeing this woman's lonely but unyielding side, their hearts were unconsciously filled with admiration.
Tzuyu tightly grasped Jennie's hand before the elegant woman stood beside her sister-in-law and coolly smiled.
"Miss Feng, the Old Mistress invited everyone to gather here today to provide them with a platform to interact. At the same time, she had intended to use this event to formally introduce Third Young Master's wife who had just returned after overcoming the injustices that were committed against her. We do not have much patience for certain people who bring up domestic trivialities to fuel petty rivalries whenever they can!"
Jennie had never thought that Tzuyu would fervently back her up and even bring up the Old Mistress to support her. She cast a grateful look in Tzuyu's direction.
"Sister Tzuyu, I wasn't..."
Feng Rao became slightly anxious when she heard Tzuyu mention the Old Mistress. She started stammering an explanation, "It's just that this woman made me think of Somi! I only questioned her because my heart wasn't at peace..."
"Miss Feng, I'm Jennie's attorney. If you're dissatisfied with the court's decision, then we can meet each other in front of the relevant authorities. I can sue you on behalf of my client for saying these defaming things here!"
A deep and commanding voice suddenly called out from behind the group of women, causing everyone to hurriedly clear a path.
The moment Kai's tall form appeared, several suppressed screams could be heard from the young ladies of the noble families. "It's the Second Young Master of the Kim Family!"
"How handsome..."
As one of Luo Hai's few highly eligible male bachelors, Kim Jongin's appearance quickly grabbed everyone's attention. He easily and successfully shifted their focus toward his attractive figure.
His well-ironed upscale bespoke suit was appropriately elegant for the occasion, which he coupled with a wine-red bow tie and a champagne-colored rose that was tucked into the front of his suit pocket!
