At the same time, Leo, who had innocently become an imaginary enemy of his own father, had washed up his face.

He followed the former master into the small kitchen. He looked wide-eyed at the tantalizingly fragrant refreshment that was still baking inside the oven.

Suddenly, while the former master was not paying attention to him, Leo, who always liked to lean close to the oven's side, felt a sudden itch inside his nose and he sneezed it out.

The moment he sneezed, he quickly drew everyone's attention inside the kitchen to him.

"Why is the young master of the third generation sneezing all of a sudden? Did he catch a cold?"

"I don't think so. Could he have accidentally gotten in touch with something like flour and sucked it in? Last time, the little brat of mine accidentally sucked flour into his nose and he sneezed for a long time."

"Oh, dear! Young Master of the third generation, that's the oven over there. Come back here and don't burn yourself."

As a result, Leo's sneeze had caused him to fail to eat the food in secret. He looked pitiful as he was pulled away from the oven by a group of old ladies.

He looked at his beloved refreshment wide-eyed as he was taken away from them. Leo rubbed his itchy nose sulkily. In his heart, he was thinking...

His mother had told him that when one sneezed, it meant that someone else was missing that person. He wondered who was missing him at that moment.

On the other hand, upon hearing Lisa's matter-of-factly response, Jennie was stunned for some time before she finally understood what Lisa had actually taken to heart. She did not know if she should laugh or cry as she said, "Leo is my son."

Unfortunately, this time, Lisa was not deceived by her so easily. He looked at Jennie disapprovingly and added, "A boy should learn to be independent at an early age."

As Jennie looked at Lisa's extremely jealous demeanor yet he still feigned a serious look, the corners of her mouth twitched and she said in resignation, "He is still young. I don't want to miss the opportunity to accompany him for a while longer. After all, such opportunities are getting lesser regardless of in the past or in the future.

Lisa did not quite accept her reason. In his heart, he thought that a boy at Leo's age should not be staying in the same bedroom with his parents.

He had known that the reason Jennie did so was because she wanted to make up for Leo's lack of parental care over the few years and even so, he still felt uncomfortable about it.

No way. He could not let the two continue to sleep on the same bed. He had to speed up and take this person home so that they could stay in the same room and naturally drive the annoying third wheel out to the other bedroom.

Jennie had no idea what Lisa had been thinking in his heart. When she saw that Lisa did not respond to her upon hearing her explanation, she had thought that he had taken in her words.

She slightly heaved a sigh of relief. At that same time, Jennie finally recalled the actual purpose of calling Lisa into her bedroom.

"Ahem... Let's put other things aside first. The reason I called you over is because I need to talk to you about something."

Lisa's eyebrows' twitched. His expression changed slightly as he looked at Jennie's unusually serious demeanor. He asked in a low voice, "What is it?"

Jennie looked at Lisa before she said hesitantly, "The fact is, I've faced some problem regarding the proposal which I've mentioned to you yesterday. I also thought of seeking your help should the need arise. However..."

"However?"

"However, just when I was about to seek your help, there were two guests, whom I never expected to come, pay a visit to me all of a sudden. They have helped me to settle my problem effectively in another sense."

Upon hearing this, a sharp look appeared in Lisa's eyes. A hint of understanding flashed across his eyes.

No wonder Jennie had not sought help from him after he had waited for the whole day. It was because someone else had intervened halfway. His opportunity to offer his helping hand that came once in a blue moon had been taken away by others!

"Two guests? Who are they?"

Jennie cast a profound glance at Lisa and smirked, "President Manoban, have you heard of Sheng Huang Group?"

"Sheng Huang?" Lisa was stunned. He naturally did not find the company's name unfamiliar to him. The rich businessmen in Shalnork all basically learned about this company at one point or another.

Of course, Lisa was obviously not just familiar with this company, but one of his bad influences, who was unusually his good friend, was also one of the major person-in-charge of this company.

"How is Sheng Huang related to you?" Lisa furrowed his eyebrows and looked into Jennie as he brought up the question.

"Regarding this, it is a long story. You only need to answer me honestly. Do you know about the presence of Sheng Huang Group? Or, in other words, do you know anyone inside Sheng Huang Group?"

Lisa did not understand why Jennie had asked this question all of a sudden. However, he still answered her truthfully, "Sheng Huang Group is also considered a huge company in Shalnork. It's nothing special even if I know about this company. As for your question about if I have any acquaintances inside, indeed, I have a friend working inside Sheng Huang Group."

"That means what the guy had said was true?"

"What?" Lisa frowned. He clearly had not reacted to Jennie's words.

However, soon, he managed to observe some hints of Jennie's previous words. Some speculations vaguely popped out from his heart.

Jennie looked at Lisa intensely as she heaved a sigh and said, "like what you have in mind, the two unexpected guests are from Sheng Huang Group. Among the two, one of them is the current president of Sheng Huang while the other looks like he's your friend, Nam Joo-hyuk, Mr. Nam, who is the general manager of Sheng Huang Group."

Lisa's expression changed slightly. He looked like he was in deep thought as he said, "What's the purpose of the president and general manager of Sheng Huang Group appearing together in Kim Enterprise? Have you met them before? Or, do you know them?"

"I've raised this question before. Indeed, I used to bump into the president of Sheng Huang Group and we are considered acquaintances. We barely have any connections. However, all this is of the least importance, what matters most is..."

As Jennie said this, she deliberately paused. The corners of her lips curved upward slightly to reveal a mocking smile as she took the initiative and walked toward Lisa.

"What matters most is that General Manager Nam, Nam Joo-hyuk had told me that he and you share a very close relationship. He is also your bosom friend and best buddy. Besides, he has accidentally revealed something which I totally had no idea before this."

At that time, Jennie had already walked to a distance of no more than ten centimeters from Lisa. She stared into Lisa's eyes intensely and he instinctively felt... guilty.

"What... is it?" Lisa was staring at Jennie. A sense of bad feeling that grew increasingly stronger sprouted from his heart.

Did he ever ask Nam Joo-hyuk to do anything that was related to Jennie? Could it be...

Lisa looked like he had suddenly thought of something. His expression abruptly changed.

Jennie, who had been paying attention to him, naturally did not miss his unusual look.

The speculation in her heart was further reassured.. Jennie blurted out at Lisa with absolute certainty, "You... have asked him to conduct an investigation on me!"
