Lisa looked at CL blankly. He didn't have time to deal with this scheming woman. He averted his gaze then studied the wide variety of jewelry in front of him. He decided to ignore this woman and won't waste any of his time dealing with her.

Lisa decided to visit this specific jewelry shop because he wanted to buy something for Jennie's birthday right after the National Exams. He is looking for the best stone that he could buy that will fit her. He continued to examine the pieces of jewelry in the shop without sparing the old woman another glance.

However,CL seemed unaware of Lisa's indifference. She followed him around and started talking about Jewels and everything that she knows about them. Since he is single, she assumed that he wanted to buy something for his mother. So, she started talking about diamonds and other stones.

The store glittered with a lot of diamonds, attractive topaz, moonstones, ruby, and jadeite.. CL looked at the price and she couldn't help but gasp. These pieces of jewelry are worth millions of Yuan ah. Who wouldn't be excited when seeing them?

"Young Master Manoban this necklace is pretty good for your mother. This is made up of emerald green jadeite beads secured with diamonds and a gold clasp. Every woman of age will love this." CL said as she looked at the necklace displayed in front of her. She couldn't help but want this necklace for herself.

She can't help but smile when she thought about her daughter. When nancy earns Lisa's heart, she will ask her to buy jewels like this for her mother. The thought itself made CL more enthusiastic.

She continued to talk and introduce each piece of jewelry to the indifferent Lisa.

Bei Ye, on the other hand, was sweating profusely. This woman keeps on talking and talking when his young master is already an expert when it comes to jewelry. What if his young master loses his patience? He really couldn't imagine the horrendous things that will occur if that happens.

Bei Ye wanted to stop the woman but chose not to when he met Fu Jin's indifferent eyes. He directly understood that his young master must be scheming about something. Or someone.

Because no one actually stopped CL, she thought that the young man is listening to her and was just embarrassed to talk. She assumed that he didn't know much about jewelry. He must just be too embarrassed to say something.

"Young Master Manoban, please feel free to ask if you want to know something. You can always treat me like an old friend. Or just like a mother. » CL said without feeling any embarrassment. After all, she will become his mother in law soon.

This continued for the whole time that Lisa was in the jewelry shop. However, he didn't utter a single word to CL . But for her, this is insignificant. She is already thinking about her next step to make sure that her daughter will be the future matriarch of the Manoban Family.

she even thought of calling nancy's true father to ask for his help.

After leaving the Jewelry Shop empty-handed, Lisa decided to just go home to call his contacts and find the perfect gift for his beloved.

"Young Master, that woman inside the shop seems to have ulterior motives. She even dared to pester you the whole time. Do you want me to investigate?" Bei Ye immediately asked him the moment they got inside the car.

"Call someone to watch her every move and report immediately to me. » Lisa said as he narrowed his eyes. He already knows the woman from head to toe. After all, in his previous life, he asked the whole kim Family to be investigated after Jennie's death.

When he found out about CL's scheme, he was so furious. He blamed himself for not paying attention to the people around his woman.

That's why in this lifetime he will make sure to protect her no matter what. This thought reminded him of something.

"Did you find out anything about the account abroad where Cl sent her money?"

"Yes, Young Master. I was planning to give you a detailed report when we get home. I found something interesting about the young miss' mother's death." Bei Ye answered him.

"Good. Give it to me once we arrive. Any news about kim jongin?" lisa inquired.

"Mr. jongin is already planning to make a move on the young miss. He is planning to use the whole school to woo her."

Lisa clenched his jaws when he heard about kai's plan. "What about her sister?"

"Miss nancy already agreed with Yu Chen's plan. She wants to have the property deeds that the young miss inherited from her mother. We haven't heard about the specifics of the plan yet. But I believe they will do it before the National Exams." Bei Ye explained.

"En... make sure to protect Jennie from the shadows. I also want you to assign more people to her sister and Jongin." Lisa kneaded his temple. He needs to get these pesky flies away from Jennie soon. she will turn 18 five days after the National Exams and he wanted it to be perfect. He doesn't want her to deal with insignificant people or any unforeseen complications.

While Lisa was still trying to analyze the possible problems that might harm Jennie, CL is already starting the second part of her plans.

She talked to her husband about her plans and he directly agreed. Who doesn't want the Manoban family as a backer?

No one!

Wonbin even offered to help her. They decided to do it with utmost secrecy, after all, they couldn't just scheme against the Manoban Family.

CL knows that someone must have seen her with Lisa. What she needed to do is just add fuel to the flames.

And just like what she expected. A rumor about the kim family and Manoban family spread like wildfire in Seoul's noble families. It wasn't even the end of the day yet, and people are already assuming about CL's daughter and Young Master Manoban's relationship.

Presently, no one insignificant can just accompany the Young Master of the Manoban Family. Moreover, no one insignificant will go jewelry shopping with him.

Rumors started spreading about the relationship between the two families. Everyone was making their own conclusions.

After all, the Young Master would only allow close people to go jewelry shopping with him.

Close people like a future mother-in-law. Right?
