Especially when Lee Sunmi suddenly saw Roseanne, she stared at her with red eyes as if being stimulated, and then turned and came straight to Roseanne.
Before Roseanne had noticed Lee Sunmi's motion, Park Jimin had quietly drawn her behind him and shielded her with his body.
"Roseanne Lin? Why are you here?" As if not seeing anyone else, Lee Sunmi stared at Roseanne.
Lee Sunmi was about to go up to her when Park Jimin's cold and indifferent voice rang. "Elder Lee, what do you mean?"
"Sunmi has been cooped up at home since she was frightened last time. Now it's Spring Festival, and we can't keep this child in the room all day. As her best friend, Jeong yeon took her to this dinner party for relaxation. You know, she suffers a mental illness, so if we take her to places where there are a lot of people maybe she can get better," Elder Lee said all smiles.
Mental illness?
No wonder Lee Sunmi looked so strange. It turned out that she had a mental illness, but Lee Sunmi could still speak out her name. Did Park Jimin or Kim Taehyung do something to her because of what Lee Sunmi did to her? She knew they would surely take revenge on her, but what kind of revenge had frightened her into this state?
She had lost at least ten pounds, and she looked so pale and frightened, which couldn't be faked. Obviously, she was indeed ill.
Roseanne didn't come forward but, standing behind Park Jimin, looked pensively at Lee Sunmi, who kept staring at her as her eyes grew redder and redder.
"Come on, Sunmi, Miss Lin just came to attend this dinner party. Let the past be the past. She won't do anything to you anymore. Don't be afraid." Lee Jeong yeon took Lee Sunmi's hand, coaxing her in a voice that was loud enough to be heard by everyone present, looking like a good sister who doted on her poor little cousin.
The people present were all surprised at what she said.
No one knew why Lee Sunmi suddenly became like this, but from what Lee Jeong yeon said, it seemed that Lee Sunmi became ill because of Roseanne Lin? Lee Sunmi was scared of Roseanne? It was known to everyone that the Lee family was very powerful. Lee Sunmi was a member of the Lee family. So, was it because of Roseanne that Lee Jeong yeon lost her fiancée, and Lee Sunmi was driven mad?
In an instant, everyone gave Roseanne strange looks while she glanced expressionlessly at Lee Jeong yeon, who took Sunmi into the crowd. She didn't expect that Lee Jeong yeon would take Sunmi here. What was the point for her to do these meaningless things?
Park Jimin suddenly tightened his grip of her hand as if trying to comfort her. Roseanne couldn't help cracking a smile at him, ignoring those strange stares.
Then, Lee Sunmi, who had just been taken away, suddenly looked back and stared crazily at Roseanne.
Roseanne withdrew her gaze from Sunmi and asked Park Jimin in a low voice behind him, "What's wrong with her?"
Park Jimin tightened his grip of her hand again and looked back at her. "Let's leave earlier tonight. We'd better not stay here for long, okay?"
Roseanne nodded, and Jennie, standing beside her, said to her in a voice that only she and Park Jimin could hear, "You were kidnapped in Uk last time, which was planned by Lee Sunmi. The Lee family used to be connected with the underworld, so she dared do that to you and cooperated with that night cellar owner to kidnap you. After she was sent back to the US, Taehyung had Haruto and his brothers teach her a lesson, and she has been like this since then."
Roseanne looked at Park Jimin and then at Jennie. "So, what did Haruto and his men did to Lee Sunmi?"
"They just paid her back in kind. They drugged and kidnapped her. She was beaten, threatened, and sold to an underworld bar of the American black market. She was bought by three men and tortured by them for several days. When the Lee family had the police save her, she was in the brink of death."
The horrible scene last time popped out in Roseanne's mind. If Park Jimin hadn't come in time, she might not have been able to escape from those people. Then what would have happened? Would she have committed suicide after being raped, or would she not even had had the strength to commit suicide and then be sold over and over again?
Lee Sunmi just reaped the fruits of her own actions. Haruto and his men just copied her means, so she could blame no one but herself.
Lee Sunmi was frightened and then tortured by three men. No wonder she became so spaced out and skinny.
The Lee family people were gone, but Park Jimin still held her hands and stayed by her side, not leaving her again.
When the banquet was in full swing, there was a burst of laughter and applause. It seemed that Park Taeyong was drinking with several business partners of his. Seeing that many people around were applauding, Roseanne also raised her hands to follow the applause. Her eyes searched among the crowd, but she didn't see Lee Sunmi and Lee Jeong yeon.
Had Lee Jeong yeon taken her away because the latter was in such a poor condition? After all, she had successfully taken advantage of Sunmi to splashed dirty water on Roseanne.
When everyone was toasting together, Roseanne didn't drink because she was pregnant. Park Jimin smiled and quietly held her hand in his. He was really good-looking, especially when he smiled.
The dinner party went well. When it was about to end, Roseanne touched her belly. As a pregnant woman, she needed to go to the restroom frequently. She said, "Jimin, I'm going to the restroom."
Park Jimin happened to be talking with one of his business partners, and he certainly couldn't accompany her into the ladies' room, so he patted her hand and signaled her to go with Jennie. "Let Jennie go with you."
"All right."
Roseanne turned to search for Jennie, only to see Kim Taehyung was pushing Jennie into a corner when no one was paying attention. His one hand was on her neck while the other was on her hip. He was kissing her dangerously. If Jennie struggle a bit, Roseanne was about to go but Jennie didn't even struggle at all in his arm and kissing back at him, clunging her both arms on his neck.
In the dark corner, a man and a woman...
Roseanne: "..."
It seemed that she shouldn't go over now!
She glanced over there, then at the restroom a few steps behind her...
————
On the other other side, after a hot session between husband and wife was over, Jennie finally broke free from Kim Taehyung's arms and took a look at the dining hall expressionlessly, only to find that Roseanne, who had been following Park Jimin, disappeared.
Jennie looked around in confusion but suddenly found that Lee Jeong yeon was standing with Elder Lee, and Lee Sunmi was not in sight.
