Jennie did not lower her volume. She only smiled and said, "Dad, when I was young, do you remember when I connected the two phrases 'as guilty as a thief' and 'the walls have ears' in my assignment? I'm not sure why I ended up connecting them that way back then. But looking at it now, it seems like I finally have my answer."

The person by the door clearly understood Jennie's meaning. She shrunk behind the door and thought to leave, but after standing frozen outside for a moment, she suddenly pushed the door open and entered the study.

"Jenjen, you can't speak like this. The walls have ears, but being guilty as a thief is unrelated to me. Earlier on, I was heading to the room to take something when I heard you and your father speaking. I was curious, so I came to peek in only to hear you framing me!" Kwon Yuri put on a wronged expression as she turned to meet Daniel's cold gaze. "Old Kim, it's true that Jenjen is your daughter, but the intention behind her words is too obvious. She first chased Mina away, and now she's targeting me!"

Kwon Yuri could act, but so could Jennie. Jennie turned to Daniel with a bitter smile. "Dad, you can choose not to believe in me, but you have to take this analysis report seriously. As your daughter, I would never tamper with your medicine. I only wish for you to live as long as possible, but we can't say the same for some other people."

Kwon Yuri's eyelids suddenly began to twitch. Right now, Jennie was truly adept with both soft and hard methods. The way she intentionally retreated while looking wronged clearly forced Daniel to view this issue seriously.

The way she blocked someone was so strong; she truly could not underestimate her!

"Dad, if you're considering your feelings with Auntie Kwon and would rather discuss this privately with her than blow up the issue, I can leave my words here. I won't participate in your decision on how to resolve this." Jennie retreated once more.

It sounded like a retreat, but she clearly did not allow the big issue to be reduced into a small one.

Kwon Yuri looked at the scheming Jennie and gritted her teeth in hate. She struggled to maintain her expression but had no choice but to force a smile. "Jenjen, you can't speak like this. I clearly haven't done anything, yet you speak as though your father is deliberately shielding me. He might be your father, but he is also my husband. Who would use such a scheme to harm their own husband's life?"

Tolerate it. I must tolerate it. If I don't tolerate it, this Jennie might throw out more unexpected schemes.

Daniel's expression was slightly dark. It was clear that just as Jennie said, he did not intend on blowing up this matter regardless if it was true or not.

The Kim family's business was not as good as it used to be. He was constantly worrying about it and had no mood to interfere with what was happening at home. Everything was left to Kwon Yuri's care. If things were really as Jennie said, right now... for the sake of his own face, he could not immediately start a fight about it.

"Jenjen, you head back first to your room to rest."

He did not bring up the supplements. Jennie pursed her lips silently before smiling. "All right."

After returning to her room, Jennie's expression was mild and calm. After muttering to herself for a moment, she mostly understood what her father was thinking and picked up her phone to scroll through it carelessly.

She then opened up a surveillance software hidden in her phone, looking through the footage she had captured. When she arrived at the scene she wanted to see, her lips curved up slightly. She placed the phone back in her pocket without a change in expression.

At this moment, in the study.

Kwon Yuri could not guess what was running through Daniel's mind. However, the heavy tension in the room caused her to feel slightly weak. She approached him with a smile. "Old Kim, from the moment I married in, Jennie has never been pleasant to me. But at the very least, she would stay quiet at home and not cause a fuss. Now, she must think I'm easy to bully, so..."
