Yoon Jane did not come with her family; instead, she arrived late with Wnag Momo.
Having greeted guests at the door for more than an hour, Old Master Park felt tired and walked back to a guest room with Nanny Shin to take a rest. Yoon Jane and Wang Momo had not gotten to Old Master Park in the receiving line by the time he took his break.
As Park Jimin and Rosè Jang stood at the door, they noticed Yoon Jane and Wang Momo getting closer and, looking at one another, silently agreed they did not want to greet them. With so many guests walking through the line, they didn't want to be obvious and cause a stir, so as the two women approached them, Park Jimin pretended to not see them, subtly broke away from his greeting duties, and turned to whisper to Rosè Jang, "Are you tired? Do you want to go upstairs and have a rest?"
Rosè Jang had also pretended to not have seen them and said, "I'm fine."
"How about the baby? Is little peanut behaving in your belly?"
"Yes."
It's not even time for the baby to be moving around in my belly. Does he even know what he's talking about?
"Let me know if you feel tired." Park Jimin had never chatted so much, and he didn't stop until Yoon Jane and Wang Momo had been checked in by the staff and were preparing to enter the grand hall. Park Jimin held Rosè Jang by her waist while he continued greeting the guests.
...
Yoon Jane was going to be sitting with her family, while Wang Momo was assigned to a different table. Before they separated, Yoon Jane pulled on Wang Momo's sleeve and whispered in her ear, "Is everything ready?"
"Don't worry. I've arranged everything. Did you see that attendant next to the host table? I gave her the pill, and she's going to drop it in that bitch's drink. And it's strong! As long as she has just a drop, she won't be able to control herself no matter how hard she tries. It's likely she'll become very promiscuous."
Yoon Jane waited for some guests to completely walk by them before saying, "Who's the guy you arranged for?"
"Mr. Yang. He took advantage of you when he circulated the photos of you, so I made him part of the plan. After the stir caused tonight, you can tell Old Master Park that Rosè Jang had an affair with Mr. Yang, and she had asked him to set you up.
"Everything is ready in the hotel room, including a high-tech needle camera. When you get my text, just pretend you'll be singing for Old Master Park on his birthday. When you get up on the stage, the video to your song won't be on the screen but, instead, a livestream of that slut fooling around with Mr. Yang."
Yoon Jane's fully made-up face glowed after she heard what Wang Momo had in store. "Wang Momo, you are the best."
"Shhh." Wang Momo signaled Yoon Jane to lower her voice. She then tilted her head and smiled at other guests she knew as she spoke to Yoon Jane in a low voice, "Okay. We'd better not talk about it here with so many people around. Just go take a seat at your table, and pay attention to my text."
Yoon Jane gave Wang Momo a sweet smile and nodded at her. After Wang Momo left, the smile on her face started to disappear.
Yoon Jane turned and, with a hint of coldness in her gaze, swept one glance at Rosè Jang, who was smiling brightly and greeting guests as she stood next to Park Jimin. A hint of mockery began to grow in her heart.
Let's see how much longer your glory will last. In a moment, I will see to your downfall and everyone will curse you!
......
By the time most of the guests had arrived, it was already 11:30 a.m.
With Park Jimin accompanying him, Old Master Park walked onto the stage and gave a lofty speech of civilities and announced the official start of his birthday banquet. He then sat at the center table directly in front of the stage. Apart from Park Jimin , Rosè Jang, and Nanny Shin, five other extended family members joined them at the table. And finally, Old Master Yoon, the closest of Old Master Park's friends, also joined the table.
