Looking at Jung Tae's stubborn self who would never admit his wrongdoings even if it cost him his life, Jennie snorted. She sighed to herself, 'Yu-min is a chip off the block. The wench is exactly like her father who has the same entitled look as if she will never be wrong even when the world does.'

So, the saying was true, parents' characters shaped their children's characters.

"You mentioned that you're the one who gave me half my genes and raised me up, while they never provided anything for me, yet I sided with them instead of you and so, you think this is unreasonable, right?" Jennie looked at Jung Tae in mockery, and she snickered, "Then, let me clarify this to you about the difference between you and them. Indeed, you've given half of my genes and raised me for more than a decade. However, apart from this, what other fatherly responsibilities have you done?"

Jung Tae gulped with difficulty under Jennie's intimidating gaze. He said with guilt, "Isn't that... more than enough?"

"Do you think that alone is enough?! So, is this how you treat your daughter, Mr. Kim?! You contributed to her birth, provided for her food while her clothes, regardless of whether they are branded, were hand-me-downs, right?! If this is how you treat Yu-min too, I have nothing to say. But in truth, it's not!"

"What did you say?" Jung Tae's widened his eyes in bewilderment upon hearing Jennie's words.

Before this, Jung Tae had thought he had at least provided for Jennie even though he did not share the same father-daughter love with her like he did for Yu-min. However, today, he realized that... things had not been as simple as he thought.

Judging from his look, it seemed like he truly had no idea about Jennie's previous life in the Kim family. However, there was no need to show sympathy for him either.

After all, he was the head of the family. Jennie would not have had such a miserable life had he not deliberately disregarded the matter.

In fact, he should bear most of the responsibilities for the previous owner's miserable life that lasted for more than two decades.

"Don't you get it? Well then, let me put it differently. Mr. Kim, do you know what kind of life I have had ever since my mother passed away? That woman whom you thought was virtuous came to me and showed off to me daily, warned me not to have any wishful thinking about everything in the Kim family. All of them belonged to your illegitimate children and none of them are mine. When you're not around, she treats me like a servant. In fact, there were times my position was even worse than a servant's. They insulted me, cussed me out, and struck me whenever they wanted. I never had enough to eat nor was I given thick clothes to keep myself warm."

"I didn't know about all these...." Jung Tae's explanation was weak and shallow. He simply could not make a case for himself.

Upon hearing this, Jennie abruptly turned back and looked into Jung Tae's eyes, who were filled with puzzlement. She cruelly tore open the scarred wound belonging to the wisp of a ghost that had already dissipated somewhere in this world, "You didn't know? What a fantastic reason! You didn't know what kind of life your daughter had experienced daily over the past. You didn't know how your daughter had been treated daily in the house. You naturally also didn't know that one winter, I had a high fever yet no one was willing to call a doctor to cure me, and I nearly froze to death in that house filled with heartless souls!"

"How... How can... I really had no idea..." Jung Tae wanted to defend himself. However, at that moment, he was tongue-tied.

Jennie saw his struggle. She sneered and went closer to him. Her gaze was as sharp as an arrow, and her words cut like a sharp knife, "Indeed. You never knew anything. You didn't care about them either. All you ever did was indulge yourself in your promiscuous life and enjoy the moment. By the time something happened, only then did you come to me to act like a father. Ask yourself, do you think yourself worthy of it?!"

Jung Tae was rendered speechless. He pursed his lips. A hint of reluctance flashed in his eyes. Yet, he could not find any words to retort everything she said.

Jennie cast a glance at the grief-stricken Jung Tae. She slowly straightened herself up and heaved a sigh of relief. She had vented out the aggrievance that the original owner had suppressed in herself.

After venting out her anger, Jennie did not want to continue wasting breath with Jung Tae. She immediately asked him to leave, "That's all for today. Regardless of whether you're willing, Woobin and Min-a are my parents now. You and I are nothing less than an elder and a junior, and I won't go far either. I respect you as my elder, and I won't pick you as much. However, we have a repeat of this, don't blame me for my hostility."

Jung Tae turned pale. He bit his lips and did not speak anything further.

The corners of Jennie's lips curled upward, "I don't want to say much either. Mr. Kim, if there's nothing else, please go back."

When Jennie asked him to leave, only then did Jung Tae snap out of his daze and remembered his purpose of coming for Jennie. He hurriedly said, "Another issue..."

Jennie turned back and walked to her office desk. When she heard his words, she quirked her eyebrows and asked, even though she already knew the answer, "What's the matter?"

"It's about your sister... about Yu-min being sacked. I want you to take back your words so that she could return to Kim Enterprise..."

Jung Tae's tone sounded much softer compared to the time when he first entered the office. He clearly noticed that the use of an elder's authority to instruct Jennie to act according to his will no longer worked. So, he had to humble himself temporarily so that Jennie was more likely to give her honor to him

Unfortunately, Jung Tae had thought too highly of himself. Before he finished speaking, Jennie rejected him without hesitation, "No way. She can never come back to the company."

"Why?" Jung Tae was shocked and took two steps forward. He said furiously, "Jennie, no matter what, she's your sister!"

However, Jennie did not buy this. She sneered, "Stop using talks of kinships to influence me. I don't even bother to identify you as my father, much less a sister like her!"

Jung Tae's face darkened. He wanted to burst out yet, he had to hold back his anger. He said earnestly, "Jennie, Song Ji-Hye is the one who's at fault. I'll be sure to give her a piece of my mind later and give you an explanation. However, Yu-min... Yu-min is innocent. Could you let her return to Kim Enterprise for the sake of me... your elder?"

Jung Tae dared not address himself as her father. He had to humble himself and used his identity as an elder to ask for a favor from Jennie.

little did he know that Jennie actually found his words to be hilarious, "Innocent? You actually think Yu-min is innocent? Do you know why she has been kicked out of Kim Enterprise by me? How dare you say she's innocent?!"
