Right after Lim Ji-yeon spoke this, Min-a and Minho's expressions instantly changed at the same time.

"Lim Ji-yeon, don't go overboard. He and I are not what you're thinking. He is..."

Min-a's expression turned grave. She anxiously explained herself. However, her eagerness had been interpreted by Lim Ji-yeon as a sign of guilt out of her conscience. As such, Lim Ji-yeon spoke more outrageously, "Mind my words, huh?! Did I say it wrongly? Min-a, bear with me. My words might sound harsh but to be honest, look at you. You're already in your forties. You don't have a child, and it's entirely due to your own sins. Otherwise, I'm afraid your child would have been about this young man's age, right?"

Lim Ji-yeon pointed at Minho and said sarcastically, "You are an old woman and no longer look youthful and pretty. Not even an old man would lay their eyes on you, much less a good-looking young man like him. If not for coming after your wealth, do you really think he is lusting over your aging looks?"

Minho's expression immediately darkened. He was about to go forward but was stopped by Min-a.

No matter what, Lim Ji-yeon was still his third aunt as well as his elder. If Minho were to strike her, once his identity was revealed, ill-intentioned culprits would simply make up stories that Minho lacked proper upbringing due to the fact that he had been in exile for so many years.

When Lim Ji-yeon noticed Minho's dark face and had stood up to walk toward her, her expression changed. However, when she saw Min-a stop him, she resumed her words and said smugly, "What? I've poked your soft spot and made you angry so you want to strike me, is it? Let me tell you, I am different from Min-a. If you dare to lay a finger on me, tomorrow I'll go back and make sure you are unable to stay in Shalnork!"

When Lim Ji-yeon said this, she cast a profound glance at Minho who was behind Min-a. Her eyes lit up. "Speaking of which, Min-a, your lover is indeed quite good-looking and very well-groomed as well. He is not a gigolo, isn't he? You made him dressed up and took him over to your own birthday banquet, aren't you afraid Woobin would discover him? Min-a, why haven't I realized that you're actually this greedy in the past?!"

"Enough!" Upon hearing Lim Ji-yeon degrading her son as a gigolo, Min-a completely lost her rationality. Without giving it a second thought, she walked over to Lim Ji-yeon. Before Lim Ji-yeon could react to her, Min-a raised her hand and slapped her.

Min-a was truly in a fit of rage. She used all her might as she slapped Lim Ji-yeon.

Meanwhile, Lim Ji-yeon had no idea that the woman, who had always been very patient and was suppressed by her over the years, had actually slapped her all of a sudden.

When Min-a slapped her, she was not able to react to it, much less dodge her slap.

Min-a had exerted all her might. Lim Ji-yeon felt her face sting with pain. At the same time, she had also lost her balance.

Before she fell, Lim Ji-yeon had reflexively grabbed something beside her. However, she had only grabbed hold of the table cloth covering the table.

A loud crisp sound rang out along with the sound of tableware falling down from the table as Lim Ji-yeon pulled the table cloth.

The table cloth dropped on the floor and the shatters of the ceramic scattered around the floor. Lim Ji-yeon covered the side of her face. Her eyes looked like they almost popped out of their sockets as she glared at Min-a, who was like a fierce lioness protecting her son at all costs.

By the time Jennie and the rest of her group arrived, they were greeted by such a sight.

Lim Ji-yeon was stunned for some time. Her swollen cheek grew increasingly prominent. It was only then did she snap out of her daze. She raised her voice and screamed like a madwoman, "Min-a, you bitch! How dare you slap me?! How dare you slap me?!"

Right after she finished screaming, she climbed up from the floor and lunged at Min-a. Lim Ji-yeon looked so fierce as if she wanted to rip Min-a into pieces.

Raewon had never thought that Min-a would suddenly strike Lim Ji-yeon. When he heard Lim Ji-yeon's shout, only then did he recover his senses. Without giving it a second thought, he hurriedly held Lim Ji-yeon from behind.

Lim Ji-yeon went crazy when she was being held all of a sudden. She kept lunging forward even if such an act would cost her her life. However, in the end, she was no match for the man's strength and could not move.

When she realized that she could not dash forward, Lim Ji-yeon decided to vent her anger at Jung Tae who was holding her from behind. She scratched him and even bit him like a crazy woman.

While she was striking him, she screamed, "You useless idiot! She struck me. It's okay that you don't help me. But how dare you even stop me from striking her? Who is your wife?! Is it me or her?! You darn rascal!"

Although Raewon was wounded and he cried out bitterly in his heart, he dared not let go of Lim Ji-yeon or she would run over to Min-a and get into a physical fight with her.

Lim Ji-yeon struggled for some time yet still could not free herself from Raewon's grip. In the end, she gave up. She turned her head around angrily and abused Min-a verbally, "Min-a, how dare you strike me for the sake of the adulterer?! Very well, since you intend to cover up for him, I'll ruin his reputation so that he cannot stay in Shalnork anymore. He's just as cheap as you! I can make his life a living hell with just a snap of my finger. By that time, I shall see how you can still protect him!"

Right after Lim Ji-yeon spoke, Min-a put on a straight face. She raised her hand and was about to strike her again.

Lim Ji-yeon screamed. Raewon's expression abruptly changed. He quickly carried Lim Ji-yeon and stumbled to the side to avoid Min-a's slap.

Min-a did not strike anyone. Instead, she stumbled in place. Minho hurriedly went forward to help her out but Min-a had already stopped him.

Min-a steadied herself. She panted slightly as she said solemnly, "Lim Ji-yeon, I don't mind you bad-mouthing me. As for Minho, if you dare to say a word against him, I will give my all to fight with you."

Even though she did not raise her voice as she said the brief sentences, they sounded resolute, causing everyone's heart on the spot to clench up.

Minho looked at the seemingly frail woman yet firmly stood in front of him. like an eagle, she tried hard to put her child beneath her wings to keep him from being harmed. His eyes lit up and showed that his heart was moved by the gesture.

Lim Ji-yeon was caught by surprise upon facing Min-a's sudden toughness. She was a little intimidated by her. After all, even though Min-a's family was not very powerful, her parents and siblings played important roles and had the right to speak up in certain industries.

Min-a hated to use her family's strength to suppress others. However, this did not mean that she would never use them to avenge herself.

Even so, Lim Ji-yeon did not show this on the surface. She smirked and said meanly, "You struck me for the sake of this man. You even dared to scold me in order to protect him. If that's the case, dare you say you have no adulterous affairs with him? Hah! Woobin should come over and have a look at you guys now. He should witness himself that his beloved woman is actually a shameless woman who cannot refuse to be left alone. A woman like you doesn't deserve..."

"Have you had enough of it?!"

Before Lim Ji-yeon finished speaking, a familiar voice rose from behind. The words carried a hint of bone-chilling frost and got everyone to shiver as one..
