"Didn't you see the news about Park Jimin and me? We're going to get married," Yoon Jane continued. "And what do you want? Don't forget who gave you money to pay back your father's debt and what you promised me for that! How could you chase after Park Jimin without any shame?"
If Wang Momo had been there, Yoon Jane would have been able to control herself, but as it was she became more enraged as she spoke.
"I am warning you to stay away from Park Jimin . He is my man. Do not even think about him. Grandpa Park acknowledges only me as his daughter-in-law. As long as I live, you will be tortured with desire to marry Park Jimin."
"If you're not worried about your mother being in an accident, or you being harassed yourself, you go ahead and continue chasing him. I was kind to you before—no one was really hurt—but if you want to try me I'm sure I can think of some—"
"Oh, that's right, you have a younger brother, don't you? Isn't he going to graduate soon? I heard he's a good student, and his school would like to have him continue toward a doctor's degree at Ansan University. Do you think his life might be ruined if, say, he was accused of rape or theft? How would those accusations look on his records?"
"And your good friend, the one living with you? If ruining your brother's life isn't enough, then I can easily arrange to ruin hers, too. You were lucky when you were 'posing,' when Jimin saved you. But your friend won't be so lucky. If you don't believe me, I can arrange a session for her and then you can watch her videos yourself, just as soon as I make them public—"
A loud slap silenced Yoon Jane's tirade. She stared at Rosè Jang for a few seconds with a shocked look before lifting her hand to cover her face.
When her fingers touched her cheeks, the sting made her realize what had just happened. Her eyes pitched fire at Rosè Jang. "How dare you sla—"
Before she could finish, Rosè Jang slapped Yoon Jane again.
With her pregnancy in mind, Rosè Jang was afraid Yoon Jane was becoming more aggressive and could hurt her, so she offensively grabbed Yoon Jane's wrist so she'd have no chance to assault her.
She looked coldly at Yoon Jane and said, "Are you really that blind? Why do you think Park Jimin bought PKS? Why do you think Park Jimin hired me as his secretary?"
"You wanted to kick me out of PJS so badly because you were afraid Park Jimin would figure out that I was your body double." Rosè Jang continued to list Yoon Jane's worries. "You should well know that I didn't tell Park Jimin the truth, right? I admit that I did not tell Park Jimin the truth because I appreciated your helping me pay back my father's debt; however, my appreciation wore out when you did such disgusting things to my mother and me."
"Yoon Jane, it has nothing to do with you as to why I did not tell Park Jimin that I was that substitute. It was for Park Jimin's own sake that I didn't tell him!"
"Because I do not wish for him to be known as a heartless man, nor do I want his relationship with his family to sour!"
"I am not like you, Yoon Jane. You are the one who wants to monopolize and cling onto him relentlessly. I simply wish for him to be well!"
"So stop trying to speculate about me with your filthy way of thinking!"
Rosè Jang had become furious when Yoon Jane had used her brother and Lisa Lim to threaten her but, after having her say, she calmed down slightly.
Looking straight into Yoon Jane's eyes, she continued to speak, stressing each word in the process.
"Don't worry, Yoon Jane. I am leaving, but it is not because I fear you. I simply do not wish to see you go to such great lengths to torment Jimin and his grandfather!"
