Lisa took her sunglasses out and put them after her speech. She spun on her heel coolly and walked right out.

Deng Wenwen's blood pressure nearly spiraled out of control again as she glared at Lisa angrily as she left. If it were not for Yoo Dari, she would have gone berserk.

"That's fantastic! Great! She's all grown up now! What a nuisance!" Deng Wenwen was gasping for air as she shouted.

"Mother, what should we do now? With her being like this now, we can never convince her!" Yoo Dari frowned and was feeling desperate. "Mother! Lisa isn't taking our family seriously anymore. I heard that she's climbing higher up the corporate ladder of Glory World Corporation, so she's acting all high and mighty now. Unfortunately, Luna is still worried that she's not doing well."

"What can she do? No matter what she becomes, she's still the flesh and blood of the family! I'll have my ways to make her succumb to me!" Deng Wenwen was no ordinary woman; her cocky stare reassured Yoo Dari.

Walking past the dark corridor in the hospital, the pathway suddenly felt infinitely long. There was no end no matter how far she walked...

Lisa swallowed the bitterness and just smiled at herself. She found herself a pitiful wreck. Never expecting the people closest to her to rob her of her family and the love of her life, she could not believe that not only did they want her to forgive her. They even wanted to use her as a bargaining chip.

It was not that she did not care. She just naively thought that things would still stay the same if she made some compromises, but sometimes, it would not matter how many sacrifices she made.

"Sis, are you going back? How's Grandmother?"

Turning around the corner, she saw Luna coming up to her as she clung onto Hanbin intimately.

Luna's frail beauty garnered people's sympathy easily. The moment she saw Lisa, she let go of Hanbin and went up to her, her expression appearing apologetic and sad.

Lisa did not even look at them and just walked past them. Her eyes seemed as calm as ever like she was just walking past air...

Her skinny figure soon disappeared under the dim light. Luna started to tear up and Hanbin's heart sank slightly as well as he held Luna in his arms.

Night soon fell and the busy city was still lively as ever.

In the chairman's office on the 58th floor of Glory World Corporation.

Jungkook stood before the window and his watchful eyes were looking at the countless lights below with a calm expression. He had two-thirds of a cigarette butt left in between his fingers and there was a faint smell of tobacco in the air.

"Master, the Mayor has just sent an invitation card over. It's their Elder's 70th birthday this weekend. Are we attending?" Assistant Chan's voice came from behind him.

"Mayor Bruschweiler?"

Jungkook frowned a little as he wondered who the sender was.

"It's the mayor of Seoul, Marco Bruschweiler. Elder Oscar Bruschweiler has stepped down from the government. He used to work in the same position as the one our old Master is in right now."

Chan explained quietly, "Back then, the old chairman would usually send gifts during the Elder's birthday, or he would attend it personally, but now Old Master has gone abroad and won't be back anytime soon. The current Mayor is someone powerful. I heard he removed a huge group of people the moment he stepped up and several big enterprises fell because of this, so..."
