"You don't understand anything at all! I had no intention of marrying him but my family forced me to do so anyway! They would've driven me out of the house and hurt Ji Hoon if I had refused. That's why I had no choice but to agree to the marriage!" Song Ji Hye returned an icy glare, extremely annoyed at how her daughter was unable to understand her pain and suffering.

"Did dad force you to do it? He didn't even know about it! The Manoban family knew nothing about the arrangement! Old Lady Song was only keeping her promise to Old Master Song that they pander to The Manoban family. Elder Master Song and Elder Master Manoban used to fight alongside each other during the war, and knowing how much Elder Master Manoban valued promises, Elder Master Song had my great-grandfather promise him that he would take care of the Song Family and to allow at least one member of the Song Family to join The Manoban family. This arranged marriage was requested by your Song Family which The Manoban family simply had to fulfill! Do you genuinely think that The Manoban family was so excited to welcome you into the household?"

Upon seeing the shocked expression on Song Ji Hye's face, Somi sneered and continued, "I heard all this from grandma a long time ago. Back then, when she was so ill she was barely conscious, she mistook me for you and explained to me the whole marriage arrangement between the Song and The Manoban family. How else did you think the Song Family managed to attach themselves to The Manoban family so easily? Elder Master Song fought for this miracle to happen in exchange for his life, and grandpa and grandma forced you to marry into the Manoban Family so that they could, in turn, attach themselves to The Manoban family. Do you really think that The Manoban family was otherwise willing to agree to this arrangement? Do you really think that The Manoban family likes you? Do you really think that my father loved you? They were just fulfilling a promise made by their ancestors! Just because of that one promise, they somehow ended up ruining their family!"

How could Elder Master Manoban have expected his simple promise to end up becoming a curse to his family? How could he have known that the Song Family would end up wreaking havoc on his own kin?

However, Song Ji Hye never knew anything about this.

"No, that can't be true! You're lying!" Song Ji Hye shook her head blankly.

Naturally, she had no clue about anything her daughter was saying. Back then, Old Lady Song was so muddled from her illness that she confused Somi for Song Ji Hye and revealed the truth behind the incident. After she miraculously recovered, she thought she had revealed everything to Song Ji Hye and thus laid the case to rest. Somi had never thought about it too much since she was just an inattentive young girl back then. She left it at the back of her mind and never considered confiding in Song Ji Hye.

"It's true, grandma told me herself! Go ahead and ask her if you don't believe me! They were the ones who kept The Manoban family in the dark; they were the ones who forced you into the marriage. Tell me then, what does The Manoban family have to do with this whole situation? What does it have to do with Old Master Manoban and Old Lady Manoban? What does it have to do with my father? If Lee Ji Hoon truly loved you, what was there to worry about even if you had gotten kicked out of the house? He would've still married you and taken care of you! It's not like he doesn't have money! He abandoned you because of the Lee Family, so how much do you think he really loves you?" Somi snorted. "I don't understand anything at all? What I don't understand is how your brain functions! Instead of starting a new life where you can forget the past and happily move forward, you just had to continue chasing after a lowlife scum like him, even going to the point where you're willing to harm your own flesh and blood for him! Well, I guess this was to be expected. Both of you are selfish beings so it only makes sense that both of you suit each other so well. Maybe that's why both of you end up hurting everyone around you when you're together!"
