MR. Jeon, The Heart Bandit | L.K Adaptation

Chapter 68

Eve sneered, her face mocking. "Keep up your silly dreams. Everything you enjoyed in the company is given because the higher-ups are giving face to Jungkook. You are the one who threw that all away, who shamelessly hooked up with Eunwoo. Everything that happened today was your own fault! You had been dealt such a good hand but messed it all up, so who could you blame? Now take that ten million when it's still on the table and leave, or you'll end up worse when the company puts you on ice!"

With that, Eve turned and left while Tzuyu fell to the floor, crying in disbelief that her acting career was over.

She never expected that the big present Jungkook gave her was to have a new star like her fall.

However, she suddenly paused between her sobs, whipped out her phone and dialed a number.

"Hello"

Once the person on the other end spoke, Tzuyu wailed. "Grandma....save me...."

"Don't call me ever again!"

The call was hung up without hesitation.

Tzuyu stared at the phone screen. Her tears pausing right then as her fingers tightened over her phone.

Her face was frighteningly fierce.

'I would have been the young mistress of the Jeon family if not for you, Lisa!'

'Why don't you just die!'

****

The Jeon family residence.

"Hang up if she calls again" Old Madam Jeon closed her eyes, breathed in her oxygen mask and wheezed for a moment before continuing. "To think I treated her like a granddaughter-in-law before! She just made Jungkook the laughing stock in all of River Tower!"

Mr. Park hesitated for a moment before saying. "Madam, there's something I'm not sure I should say"

"Speak"

"Actually" the butler said calmly, "It's not a bad thing for Young Master to be with Miss Lisa"

At those very words, Old Madam Jeon's eyes bulged as she glared at him. "That woman hurt him to terribly in the past, and you would give them your blessing? Park, you've served me for years and I thought that you saw things clearly, which is why I always left everything to you. But even you have gone senile too?"

"Madam, that's a long time ago and you mustn't confuse one thing with another, Mr. Park advised earnestly. "Miss Lisa was definitely why Young Master was caught in the accident, but you know every well why he left at the time. Moreover, he would always choose her if given the choice. Madam, it's fate"

Old Madam Jeon slowly calmed and she sighed, her eyes damp as she recalled a distant memory. "Kook has suffered much. All I did is in his best interest....He can be with any woman, but not Lisa because he would wish he was dead if he remembers. As his grandmother, I cannot allow it"

Mr. Park smiled. "Madam, gave you forgotten? They have a child together"

Old Madam Jeon's eyes tightened. She closed her eyes and muttered, "Such ill fate...."

"Please red, Madam. I shall take my leave"

As Mr. Park closed the door, his eyes became distant as he looked upon the long and dark corridor.

It was indeed a past no one wished to remember.

It was evening and time to leave work.

Jisoo waved goodbye at Lisa. "I'm off, Lili"

"Mommy, aren't we waiting for Daddy?" The little one watched as Lisa tidied things up.

She remembered today morning just then: Kicking Jungkook off the bed, crashing into his chin and embarrassing him during the meeting....

Would a petty man like him show mercy?

Lisa simply tousled the little one's hair, "No, we're leaving first"

The little one pouted. "Okay...."

When everything was in order, Lisa led him out of the office.

However, as soon as she locked the door, the little one abruptly held his own stomach, his face tightening. "Oh no, my tummy hurts....Mommy, I need the toilet! Wait for me, I'll be back soon!"

Lisa shook her head helplessly as he scampered away on his tiny feet.

The little one dashed as quickly as he could go to the toilet, looked around him for a moment before calling a number on his phone.

Holding his little hand over his mouth, he whispered panickily, "Daddy, Mommy is running away! Hurry!"
