Lim Ji-yeon's expression changed once again. One had to admit that Jennie's words had prodded at Lim Ji-yeon's soft spots.

Jennie was Su Gyeom's blood-related older cousin. When Lim Ji-yeon had confirmed no outsiders were inside Jennie's office, only then did she go there and make a fuss at her office. Even if there were outsiders, they did not dare to simply spread the words, saying that Jennie should count herself lucky because Su Gyeom had laid his eyes on her.

However, in her heart, Lim Ji-yeon knew that if that incident were to spread, Su Gyeom would definitely be deemed unreasonable and even be scolded badly.

Even though Jennie was not Su Gyeom's biological older sister, she was at least his older cousin. Their blood relationship was only a generation apart. To put it bluntly, what Su Gyeom had done to Jennie in the past was called...!

On top of that, Jennie was pursuing the matter before the crowd. At the end of the day, Su Gyeom's injury on his certain part would inevitably be exposed.

Lim Ji-yeon treasured her own reputation. If the world found out that her only beloved son had lost his fertility and might not be able to produce offspring for the rest of his life, they would become a laughing stock. If that happened, they might as well have killed her right away!

"I...I... Jennie, what are you talking about?! When did I say I want to pursue the matter further with you? The past is the past. Why did you have to be so calculative when we are a family?!" Lim Ji-yeon said embarrassedly. She forced a smile on her face that resulted in a terrible-looking smile that looked even worse than crying.

The corners of Jennie's lips curved upward. She pretended to look very frustrated. "Is that so? If that's the case, did I think wrongly? Aunt, I never expected you to be so reasonable. Even after knowing that Su Gyeom was at fault for all that had happened, you can actually stand on the side of justice instead of siding with your own son. You did not even take into the account the fact that I've struck Su Gyeom. Initially, I was worried that you would hold a grudge against me because of that incident. Now, it looks like you are a woman with a big heart. I suppose you certainly wouldn't blame me for striking Su Gyeom today too, right?"

The smile which Lim Ji-yeon had forced to show up on her face turned stiff. Apparently, she had never thought that Jennie could turn the tide and settle the issue so easily. At that moment, she grew angry once again.

Speaking this, how could Jennie possibly grant Lim Ji-yeon an opportunity to refute her? She smiled as she added, "Originally, I thought that Su Gyeom would change slightly after staying with you and Uncle overseas for so long and had his horizons widen, or at least he would have some improvement in the way he treats others. I thought that he was no longer carrying himself so arrogantly and with such poor manners. As such, when Uncle came to look for me, I gladly agreed to his request. However, it looks like I have to re-evaluate Su Gyeom's character as well as this matter."

Jennie had threatened her with Su Gyeom's scandal as well as his company's position. Each of these was poking at Lim Ji-yeon's soft spots. She could not find it in herself to fight back at all.

Lim Ji-yeon was so angry that she nearly gnashed her own teeth. She glared at Jennie fiercely. In the end, she did not say anything. She snorted before she turned around and ran in the direction where Su Gyeom had left.

Raewon had been standing outside the crowd. He dared not come close to Lim Ji-yeon. When he saw Lim Ji-yeon dashing out in a fit of rage, he was worried about her and afraid that she would cause another fuss or do other silly things.

After he hesitated for some time, he gritted his teeth and decided to run out and follow behind Lim Ji-yeon.

Raewon and his family had unexpectedly retreated from the banquet. little did they know that when the couple left, the crowd at the banquet already had their gazes fixated on them.

After they watched how the former master had treated Raewon and his family, they knew well that the third young master of the Kim family was about to be abandoned by the former master.

Since the sensational news about the murder case in Shalnork broke out, the second young master of the Kim family had been abandoned by their family. Today, the third young master had gradually lost their power as well. On the other hand, the eldest young master of the Kim family had recovered their biological son at this moment. Lady Luck had smiled upon certain people, and they had already gained the victory.

Meanwhile, it was about time for these people to lend their helping hands to the needy ones.

After the people who had caused the fuss was gone, the banquet resumed its liveliness and noises. However, while the banquet was hustle and bustle on the surface, a raging undercurrent that one could not possibly ignore was flowing beneath it. The pool of fate was no longer calm.

The former master swept across the crowd discreetly with his wise eyes. He remembered the crowd's response at that moment in his heart. The next moment, he began to speak and attract the crowd's attention. He led the entire party to the main topic.

"A minor accident has occurred today. As such, this has caused us a little unhappiness. We are sorry for that, and we hope that you won't mind about it either. We shall continue with the banquet and we hope all of us could enjoy the day happily. We would also give our best to be the host."

Before the banquet started, everyone had already watched three good shows. The guests were more or less confused by this chain of events.

However, it did not take long before they accepted it. The commotion was, after all, related to the Kim family's affairs. They did not have to dwell on it for long. What mattered most was the event that came next.

In other words, a family should have wealth as well as status. If the family had wealth but lacked status, they would become the talk of the town. If the family had wealth and status, no matter how they had made themselves a joke, no one would dare to simply spread the words and only keep it to themselves.

"I suppose everyone knows that the main reason for having this banquet is to celebrate my daughter-in-law's birthday. Besides, we also want to use this opportunity to make several announcements."

As the former master was speaking, he paused. The guests immediately understood that they had reached the culmination of the banquet. As such, this had piqued their interests.

"You have seen and heard the incident that happened just now. Therefore, you more or less have some understanding about it. That's right. Today, one of the announcements that we are going to make is that my eldest son, Woobin and my daughter-in-law, Min-a have finally found their long-lost son who had been in exile for years. This person is standing right beside me now."

After saying this, the former master grinned. He turned his head around and cast a glance at Minho. From his single glance, everyone could see how much the former master was fond of Minho and cared about him.

"Ladies and gentlemen, you might find my grandson looking very familiar. That's right. This is because Minho was the president of Sheng Shi Group and now, he is the president of the Sheng Huang Group."

The former master's words were like a huge rock that had been thrown into a lake and set off a huge wave in their hearts.

The eldest grandson of the Kim family was the president of Sheng Huang Group? Regardless of the Kim family or Sheng Huang Group, each of them was equally powerful on their own. Now that they stood together, the extent of the greatness of the power spoke for itself..
