The Vicious Wife

Life's so short

At Kang Daniel's & Jihyo's apartment.

"Mother... You really don't have to worry about me. I have been married to Daniel for years now. I can endure for a few more months. After I give birth, I believe I will gain the right to speak my mind in the family," Jihyo answered.

Jihyo had a plan to change her mother-in-law's opinion of her. The plan was to prove her capabilities to her mother-in-law by launching her own fashion brand, without any help from Daniel. But what happened during Fashion Week a few weeks back, derailed her plan.

The thought of what happened at Fashion Week still made Jihyo a little angry. First, she didn't get to talk much with other designers or potential investors. Second, she was humiliated and left the party in shame. Third, she was berated by her mother-in-law and was also being forced to put her plans regarding her fashion on hold.

'What an overbearing mother-in-law! Her plan was supposed to be flawless. It's all Rosella's fault!' Jihyo thought.

"On another note, I really hope that knowing Rosella's identity is not affecting you in any way." Tang Ling said. "Your sister... Well... She is different now. I hope you don't mind her and just concentrate on giving birth."

"How is she different?" Jihyo immediately sneered. "She only changed her name. A leopard never changes its spots. I'm sure she is still that shameless and scheming bitch. And Mother, how can I not think about it? I am pregnant now. What if she takes revenge and harm my baby? What if she tries to seduce Daniel? Did you see the way she looked at Daniel that night?"

"Jihyo... You should stop this," Tang Ling said. "I don't think Roseanne is interested in taking revenge."

"Why do you think so?" Jihyo asked.

"It has been a while since she came back to Seoul and we haven't heard of anything. Aside from requesting for her name to be removed from our family registry, she hasn't done anything shady so far..." she explained. "Plus, she is rich and also happily married right now-"

"Married? Married to who?" Jihyo interrupted her mother. Rosella is married?

"Ah... She's married to someone insignificant. Stop thinking about it. Lawyer Yan did not tell us who he is," Tang Ling lied. She knew her daughter like the back of her palm. Tang Ling was sure that Jihyo would only get angry and jealous if she knew who Roseanne got married to. But Tang Ling knew that she couldn't hide this matter from her daughter forever, so she planned to tell her daughter the truth after she gives birth.

"Wait... Does that mean that Rosella already obtained grandfather and grandmother's inheritance?" Jihyo's eyes were wide as she stared at her mother. Those properties were worth millions! Wouldn't this mean that millions of dollars had slipped out from their fingers? How could she allow such a thing to happen?

"Not yet. Your father and I will take this to court. I'm sure there is still a chance to get back those properties," Tang Ling said calmly, although she herself knew that the chance of that happening was very slim. But she still had a bargaining chip on hand; those scandalous photos of Roseanne. She was intending to use those photos to force Roseanne to give them back those properties.

In Tang Ling's mind, Roseanne and Park Jimin probably had a marriage of convenience. She couldn't think of any reason why Park Jimin would marry Roseanne otherwise. It just didn't make sense to her. Tang Ling believed that Park Jimin was someone who paid attention to his reputation, so what would he do if she threatened to spread those photos online again?

"But Mother... I think there is something that we don't know about the Will," Jihyo said after a few seconds of silence.

"What do you mean?" Tang Ling asked.
