Yang Lina knew that there was nothing more she could say that could convince Daniel to listen to her. He was adamant not to leave his wife.
To Yang Lina this was something that required immediate attention. As someone who had grown up in a military family, Yang Lina was the type of person who sought to understand her enemies before launching a war against them.

The charity event that Park Jimin brought Roseanne along to attend originally had a dance segment. However, due to last minute changes from the organizers, they ended up having an auction instead. But the event still turned out well and ended in a very grand way.
During the event, the couple didn't socialize much with others, choosing to stay in their own booth to talk and enjoy wine together. After all, they were still in the 'honeymoon phase.' When the event ended, the couple didn't linger around, choosing to return home immediately as the next day was a working day.
Days passed peacefully for the couple as they watched the Tang family crumble before their eyes. Old Man Tang never woke up in the hospital and eventually died. After Old Man Tang's death, control of the Tang family's underworld network was also seized from them overnight. Tang Ling and Jihyo could only helplessly watch as power was taken away from them. They felt so useless that there was nothing they could do about it.
....
"I am glad that you agreed to see me, Lawyer Yan." Park Jimin smiled at the lawyer in front of him. It was already in the middle of July, just days after Old Man Tang's death.
"I didn't think I have much of a choice." Lawyer Yan smiled awkwardly. Lawyer Yan specialized in drawing Wills for people. Even though Lawyer Yan got to meet wealthy clients, it was still a first for him to be able to meet a powerful individual like Park Jimin.
"Honest." Park Jimin noted. "I like it." The duo was currently in a luxurious café with a private Japanese style tea room.
"May I know why you wanted to see me?" Lawyer Yan asked. Although not much was known about Park Jimin online, Lawyer Yan knew that Park Jimin came from nothing. To Lawyer Yan such a person could not be simple and potentially dangerous and to be honest, he feared Park Jimin.
"I'm sure you must already know that this is about my wife," he answered. "I want her last name to be changed to Park. Would that affect her claim to her inheritance?" Though Roseanne's name had already been removed from the Li family's registry, they had not changed her surname to Park yet.
"No, not at all, since Miss Lilian's marriage fulfilled the terms and conditions set in the late Old Master Li's Will. In fact, here... I made sure to finish all the paperwork so that I could hand them to you during this meeting," he said while giving Park Jimin a brown envelope.
"Good." He nodded. "Now for my second concern." Park Jimin made a deliberate pause as he crossed his left leg to his right. "My wife will destroy the Li family soon."
"W-Why are you telling me this?" Lawyer Yan asked, panic apparent on his face. 'Is this the famous, 'I will tell you but then I have to kill you' moment?'
"I want to ask you, where will you stand? Will you stand on my wife's side? Or against us?"
"President Park... this..." Lawyer Yan was caught by surprise and he didn't know how to react. He lowered his head while he thought about the pros and cons of the matter.
Lawyer Yan had been around the Li family long enough to know some of their deepest and darkest secrets. He was aware that Li Jung Wang was a very vicious man who had done many unspeakable things. He also believed that Li Jung Wang didn't know about Roseanne's identity or he would have already reached out to Roseanne to offer her a management level position in Li Industries.
