Chapter 22 : Neighbors Opposite Each Other

___________________________________

Park Seo-joon felt a little upset.

Back then, it was for Lisa's sake that he'd proposed to treat Mrs. Jeon's illness. However, it was mostly because he appreciated Jeon Juwon that he'd put in so much effort for Mrs. Jeon's sake.

Who would've thought that his good intentions would end up in such a situation?

Lisa's emotions were even more complicated. Even if lightning struck her, it wasn't enough to describe her feelings.

Fate's malice towards the Park family was crueler than in her dreams.

Although the Jeon family wasn't bankrupt, Chou Yejun died, and Jeon Juwon was seriously injured. Additionally, Jungkook's mother also passed away.

Even if the police could prove Jimin's innocence in the future, what would happen to Mrs. Jeon's death?

"Juwon," Park Seo-joon spoke first, "My condolences. I'll definitely give you an explanation regarding Mrs. Jeon's matter."

"Park Seo-joon, do you think you can cover up your sins by finding a scapegoat?"

Jeon Juwon stared at Park Seo-joon with hatred and resentment. "I will seek justice for my wife. Even if the police can't do anything to you, you'll get your retribution sooner or later!"

Park Seo-joon was enraged. "I didn't expect President Jeon to have such a deep misunderstanding of me! But, since that's the case, It's useless for me to say anything else!"

As the president of the Hongyuan Group, he was usually in a high position and was decisive in the business world. Therefore, people would greet him with a smile and bow to him wherever he went.

He repeatedly lowered his posture in front of Jeon Juwon, but he didn't expect the other party to say such hurtful words!

No matter how good Park Seo-joon's self-restraint was, he couldn't help but be filled with anger. Finally, he flicked his sleeves and left.

He turned around and saw that Lisa was still standing at the same spot. So he said sternly, "Lisa, why aren't you leaving?"

Lisa looked up at Jungkook. His face was expressionless, his dark eyes were cold, and his eyes were slightly red.

From the start to the end, he didn't even look at Lisa.

In the end, Lisa didn't say anything and quickly followed behind her father.

Even if the police clearly stated that Mrs. Jeon's death was an accident by the nurse and that they couldn't hold Park Seo-joon to account for it.
