Mr. L's DILEMMA: Can't Help Falling Inlove With You

Chapter 77

"Now, regarding us raising Somi in the Manoban Family in the past, all of you were only aware of one aspect of it but not the whole story..."

As Old Mistress Manoban spoke, she motioned at Butler Fu to bring a stool over for Nancy to sit beside her.

Among those who were present, the oldest one next to Old Mistress was Jae-wook.

The refined, elegant man pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose and sized up Nancy before asking, "Mother, could this child be the one who Yanni had brought away? The one with heart disease?"

It looked like Jae-wook knew about some of the inside stories that the younger generation had no idea of!

Old Mistress Manoban nodded, her silver hair glinting in the light. This autocratic woman appeared to be somewhat sorrowful at the moment.

She lovingly stroked Nancy's hands and continued saying, "Somi and Nancy are twins. Unfortunately, Nancy was born with serious heart disease."

The Jeon Family back then was a wealthy and influential family. Even though the child had heart disease, getting her treatment was not a big deal.

However, Nancy did not appear before the public, which indicated that there had to have been a certain secret in the Jeon Family that the public was unaware of.

"After Yanni gave birth to the two children, Shu Heng found out that she was having an affair with the family doctor."

Old Mistress Manoban casually mentioned it, but these kinds of incidents in prestigious families were horrifically scandalous!

"Upon discovering this, Shu Heng forced Yanni out of the house and divorced her without leaving her any possessions. Yanni was resistant, and she went to the house to causing a scene numerous times with the intention of getting back at least one of her children.

"Around that time, it was discovered that Nancy Jeon was a child with a congenital disorder, hence, the Jeon Family agreed for her to take only Nancy away, but Somi was to remain in the family. And just like that, the twin sisters were broken up to be cared for separately. The child's name was then changed to Nancy Mcdonie."

What happened next was already known by both the young and the old of the Manoban Family.

"The Jeon Family's grandmother had been my best friend since I was little. When this incident happened, she was so stressed out that she became psychologically unwell, causing her health to deteriorate day by day.

"When Somi was four years old, Shu Heng found new love. He married a new wife and had other children of their own. The Jeon Family's grandmother was worried that due to Somi's young age, she would receive lots of unfair treatment in the future. Hence, before she was about to die, she entrusted the child to the Manoban Family's care..."

Upon mentioning the early death of her dear friend, Old Mistress Manoban's face became gloomy and her voice trailed off.

Nancy hurriedly comforted her in a low voice, "If Grandmother's spirit is in heaven, she wouldn't want to see Grandmother Manoban so sad..."

The girl's obedient voice was pleasant to the ear, and Jennie fell into a trance for a moment, as if she was listening to the same lovely and cute Somi from back then...

Old Mistress Manoban her handkerchief to wipe the corners of her eyes and patted Nancy's small hands, remarking sentimentally, "Initially, I was thinking of having her come over here after Little Pran's parents had passed away. This was to first, fulfill your grandmother's wish, and second, since Somi and Little Pran's age were about the same, I figured the two could accompany each other as they grow up. Furthermore, if they liked each other, it would also be beneficial for us to become in-laws."

When she mentioned becoming relatives through marriage, Jennie could not help but sneak a peek at Lisa.

This man was still very calm at the moment, as if what Grandmother was talking about had nothing to with him.

"Who would have thought that such a horrible event would take place later on? Somi's dead, and with that, I've regretfully let your grandmother down..."

Old Mistress gradually became more upset as she spoke, her voice began to shake before she started weeping.

The whole family panicked, and everyone rushed to comfort her.

Nancy also recalled the memories of the past and began to snivel alongside the maternal figure. With that, the side hall burst into commotion!

"Mother, all this is in the past now. There's no need for you to be this upset anymore." Jae-wook consoled.

The two in-laws also spoke words of comfort, while Tzuyu and Yuna looked each other in the eye, clearly unsure of what to do.

This was especially so for Tzuyu, whose face had turned pale...

Of the group, only Jennie's expression was ice-cold, as she motionlessly watched the old and young cry together. Even Lisa, who was by her side, had left to go console Grandmother...

However, with regards to the Somi incident, was she not a victim?

Did she not pay a terrible price in exchange for this unrecognized and unblessed marriage?

Now, this younger sister, who looked exactly the same as Somi, was standing before her.

It was as if she was staring at her old love rival's reincarnation. Didn't the Heavens have mercy?
