The man was dressed in a black suit. The dazzling lights shifted across his body, revealing a white shirt underneath. His unique, expensive, and low-profile cufflink appeared cold as it reflected a flash of light.

Nam Hyoyeon sensed that someone had splashed champagne on her. In a fit of anger, she grabbed her wet, messy hair and raised her head to shout, "Who was it! Who dared to splash alcohol on me?"

Hearing the noise, the security guards present immediately approached.

Soo young also rushed forward. She ran toward Hyoyeon's side, but before she could speak up, Hyoyeon had already angrily scolded, "He is still upstairs! Who was that it was so daring, splashing champagne on someone in such a place! Security guards, what are you doing! Bring that person down immediately! I want to see who..."

Before she could finish speaking, the man began to walk down the stairs. The moment she saw the man's unwrinkled suit pants and his long, straight legs, her expression became dazed. She took a careful look upward and saw that the man was unbuttoning his suit jacket as he came down. The white, handmade dress shirt was immaculate and drew people's eyes. With one look, it was clear that it wasn't cheap.

He was only moving down the stairs. However, the man's steps were stable and unhurried. His black leather shoes appeared like a highlight that attracted everyone's gaze. Step by step, he climbed down the stairs.

He glanced downward and instantly allowed everyone to gain a clear look at his handsome, attention-drawing face.

He was wearing a similar white shirt. However, unlike that day at the sports hall, he did not appear as cheerful, amiable, or kind. The man's countenance was distinct and clear as he swept an indifferent glance at them. His gaze was specially composed and cold. Although the champagne was clearly splashed by him, his handsome face was completely unperturbed. As he climbed down, a hint of cold flashed past his distant eyes.

It was actually Park Jimin!

The entire venue was instantly filled with an uproar.

Hyoyeon immediately choked on the verbal abuse that was about to leave her lips. Whereas, Soo young, upon seeing Park Jimin , instantly took a subconscious step back.

Not only was the crowd startled, but even Roseanne was also caught off guard.

She turned to look at the man. Didn't he return to South Korea a week ago? Wasn't he especially busy in the past few days? They even talked on the phone last night. Before the call was hung up, she had even expressed that she missed him. At that time, he completely did not mention that he would come today. Roseanne had assumed that she would be putting on this gown for herself. Who would have thought that he actually would come?

Ryujin watched the approaching man and clearly saw the frigid aura surrounding Park Jimin.

When those photos had been released by Soo young, Ryujin had already known that Park Jimin would not allow these little women to continue harassing Roseanne as they pleased. Sealing the school internet for a day was only a light punishment. The unsettled debt would be accounted for after.

Under the various, dazzling lights, the man's handsome face was obscured by the mist, causing him to appear strangely cold.

Everyone was watching Park Jimin, including the various school leaders and renowned educational celebrities who had heard of his appearance. Although they previously extended several invitations to him, they never received an affirmative reply. Who would have thought that he really would come.

Park Jimin approached Roseanne. As he stopped before her, his gaze landed on the wine glass in her hand. He spoke unhurriedly with a clear, distinct voice, "Splash back."

Roseanne's expression faltered. She turned back to look at Hyoyeon who was dumbstruck, and Soo young who was hiding behind her.

Earlier, Hyoyeon did not actually stain Roseanne's gown. However, if it hadn't been for Ryujin's fast reflexes, things might have been different.

Hyoyeon opened her mouth, mumbling, "President Park, aren't you spoiling her too much? Are people like you, who operate in the higher society, allowed to be so high profile when you're being unfaithful?"

Park Jimin's long fingers stroked the emptied wine glass. With a low and indifferent chuckle, he placed the glass down: "Unfaithful? When it comes to marriage and love, I've always been faithful toward Roseanne Lin. I've never once stepped out of bounds. What infidelity is there to speak of?"

For a moment, Hyoyeon could not understand. She shifted her confused gaze onto the composed Roseanne before turning toward the pale Soo young who was hiding behind the crowd.

Soo young really did not dare to speak up now. His words alone were sufficient to reveal the truth.

Roseanne Lin was indeed his wife. His words could not be clearer!

By the side, one of the school leaders could not take watching any longer. He knitted his brows to say, "What kind of ideas do you guys have in mind? Miss Lin here has always been President Park's wife. It's just that she doesn't like being a rich, idle wife at home and decided to come out to run her own business. She only took some time out to study corporate management here; how did she manage to offend you guys? Why are you making a fuss here?"

In the past few minutes, not only did Hyoyeon's complexion change significantly, all of the present people who were discussing or suspecting Roseanne's business had all turned their disbelieving eyes onto her.

Although it wasn't her first time being in a crowded place like this, most of the people there were students who were not too familiar with her. All of a sudden, Roseanne found herself slightly uncomfortable with all of the attention.

Park Jimin immediately held her hand. His natural posture as he did so cause the crowd to appear even more flabbergasted.

No wonder he suddenly chose to interact and cooperate with University; it turns out it was because Roseanne Lin was here...

This meant that, if it hadn't been for Roseanne, the generous reconstruction of University's one-hundred-year-old library most like wouldn't have happened. After all, this wasn't a small sum of money. No local company could possibly bear to part with so much money. It could also be said that this significant service that would celebrate the history of the library and bring countless benefits and joy to many had only happened because of Roseanne.

The students who were previously uninformed did not dare to say more. Instead, they turned toward them with envious and admiring eyes.

Only individuals like Soo young were uneasy and nervous and wished to disappear right from this place.

"You're really... President Park's wife?" Hyoyeon was still somewhat dumbstruck. Soo young, who had always incited her to target Roseanne, had hidden far behind them. There was no way to receive a confirmation from her. However, based on Soo young's attitude, it was likely that she already knew. Otherwise, why would she be hiding away!

"No matter who I am, even if I was truly an insignificant owner of a small studio, it doesn't give you any rights to point fingers at me." Roseanne spoke composedly and unhurriedly with red lips. "Does me not being Park Jimin's wife gives you the right to slander me with such nonsense and ruin my reputation?"

"This was because... I heard it from Soo young... and those photos, those photos on the forum were also posted by Chung..."

"I know better than anyone what she has done. But do you mean to say you're not the same kind of person as her? Birds of a feather flock together. Both of you were able to become so close and to discuss someone else's rights and wrongs together. It's clear that you belong to the same category, so don't waste time trying to act innocent now that you've seen the facts. No one is fooled by your low-class character and your low-class act," Roseanne said coldly.
