One had to admit that Xiao Jingyao was very efficient at work. That afternoon, Jennie received the video clip of the meeting between Song Ji-Hye and her children.

It was a video clip. Although the image was clear, they could not hear the three people's dialogues clearly.

Twenty minutes was not considered too lengthy nor brief. However, under a circumstance where they could not hear their voices clearly, and could only watch their expressions and actions, they felt extremely bored in those twenty minutes.

Jennie and Xiao Jingyao stared at the image on the screen without even blinking. They stared at the screen wide-eyed when Minchul looked like he had spoken something to Yu-min. After Yu-min nodded, she rose up and went out.

The room was only left with Song Ji-Hye and Minchul. Jennie's eyes sparkled. She stared at the screen and grew increasingly serious as she watched them..

However, to their disappointment, they could only identify the slight changes in Song Ji-Hye's expression, while Minchul still had not shown any unusual activity in the last few minutes.

Xiao Jingyao gave up. Just when he was about to turn off the video, Jennie abruptly stopped him and shouted, "Hold on. Rewind the clip, rewind the clip!"

'Rewind the clip?' Xiao Jingyao's outstretched hand froze mid-air. He did not know how to react to this.

When Jennie saw that he remained still after some time, she frowned and personally went forward to rewind the ongoing clip to the image when Minchul had started to spend time alone with Song Ji-Hye. She watched everything that happened all over again.

With a snap, the video paused at the image where Minchul held hands with Song Ji-Hye before he left.

Jennie returned to her original seat. She stared at the image intensely. Her body unwittingly leaned to the soft back of the chair. Her right hand subconsciously rubbed against her right earlobe.

After some time, only then the corners of Jennie's lips gradually curled upward. She blurted out profoundly, "So, that's how it is. My so-called younger brother is quite clever."

"General Manager..." Xiao Jingyao's expression darkened. He looked at Jennie, then cast another look at the paused video clip. He still could not see the entire picture from it. So, he looked puzzled.

"Still haven't found out, huh?" Jennie raised one of her eyebrows. She stretched out her hand and pointed at her right ear. The next moment, she made a gesture of lacing her hands together.

Xiao Jingyao looked at Jennie for some time. Suddenly, he seemed to have understood something. His face turned white. "Could it be... Could it be..."

"He did it so discreetly without leaving the slightest bit of trace. We really couldn't underestimate him."

The thing which the person had handed over to Song Ji-Hye was most likely a drug in pill form. Regardless of what drug it was, since it was capable of causing a fatality, it must be a forbidden drug.

Minchul had just returned to his home country from overseas, and he had even brought along this type of forbidden drug that could cause death with him. It looked like she really had to re-evaluate her so-called younger brother all over again.

"General Manager, regarding the incident..."

"That's all for now. He had done it all too discreetly. Even if we exposed his deed, the police officer would say that all this is only our own speculation. There is no tangible evidence. Not only would this not help us much, but it would also alert him as well."

Jennie closed her eyes and drew in a deep breath. "The matter ends here. Song Ji-Hye is already dead. There's no point to probe further into the issue. Besides, Yu-min's reputation is already ruined, and she has lost Jung Tae's protection. She can't stay long in Shalnork. As for Minchul... There's no need to be in a hurry, since he is our enemy, I believe he will reveal himself in front of us very soon."

Xiao Jingyao's expression changed slightly. He agreed to Jennie as he nodded his head.

The sensational news about the main culprit who had hired contract killers to attempt murder not long ago had once again become the talk of the town upon her sudden death before being given the sentence.

A series of speculation including being assassinated by the victim, suicide out of guilt, and so on and so forth poured in. After Song Ji-Hye died, her name had once again gained fame.

Jung Tae had already severed ties with Song Ji-Hye and Yu-min. He naturally would not collect her body after she passed away.

Therefore, Yu-min and Minchul were the only members who sent Song Ji-Hye off on her last journey. During this period of time, Minchul disappeared from time to time on the grounds that he had to handle many things since he had just returned to his home country and the Kim family.

In the end, Yu-min was basically the only one who arranged Song Ji-Hye's funeral.

The spoiled young lady who had a bad temper and arrogant behavior had grown mature rapidly after experiencing the incidents of herself being humiliated and rebuked, her father's cheating, and her mother's death within a month.

The day after Song Ji-Hye's funeral which Yu-min had finished settling numbingly, Yu-min boarded the plane where she would be leaving Zelford. She carried Song Ji-Hye's cremains and departed from the land that could swallow her remains.

When Yu-min left, Minchul sent her off. He politely reminded her of a number of things that she needed to take note of.

Yu-min responded to him obediently before she turned around and got on the plane.

However, unbeknownst to everyone, the moment Yu-min stepped on the boarding gate, she turned her head around and cast a glance at the airport. She accurately caught sight of Minchul's back as he turned his body around and departed from her.

Her eyes had been trained to hide emotions. At that instant, a glimpse of hatred and sinisterness was caught in them. Within a blink of an eye, her gaze resumed normalcy. She held the box of cremains in her arms tightly and got into the plane without hesitation.

Jennie's life resumed in peace following Song Ji-Hye's death. The murderous malice beneath the peace was something which she could not get rid of at the current moment.

After getting rid of a great threat, Jennie finally had the energy to pay attention to the people around her. The so-called people around her were first none other than the two young ladies whom she hardly met in the office.

That day, when Jennie walked out of her office and passed over a big stack of documents which she had approved to Irene, asking her to help her to send them to the development department, she passed by Solar and she instinctively paused mid-stride for a few seconds. She frowned and walked backward to Irene. She lowered her head and whispered to her, "Rene, have you noticed that Solar seems to have gained some weight of late?"

Irene pushed the black-rimmed glasses on the bridge of her nose calmly, and said straightforwardly, "She doesn't seem like one. In fact, she has already gained weight. Solar's face becomes rounded compared to half a month ago. However, her face is small compared to most people. She is small-sized. Therefore, even if she has gained weight, most people don't find her fat."

Jennie thought to herself, "Small-sized... You are just as small-sized as her. In fact, you're of a smaller size compared to her, yet you still commented on her, don't you think it sounds absurd?'

"General Manager, what's wrong?" When Irene saw Jennie did not react to her after some time, she looked at her strangely. She felt uneasy, so she took the initiative and asked her.
