If Seok Min and Su Ahn wanted a demon little sister, they were about to get that because she wasn't going to back down now. She wasn't going to let her siblings win this war. Even if Ji Hu didn't want to be involved it the bloodbath and the war, she wasn't going to allow them to bring the Mirae Group into the ground.

Ji Hu entered that room in her new white outfit thanks to Gu Won. She sat on the couch next to Su Ahn, keeping her eyes locked ahead of her. She didn't care what anything thought of her outfit change. She was wearing it to make sure Madam Ju knew she was there for her, even in death.

"My goodness. What are you, in a fashion show?" Su Ahn asked. "We're at a funeral, Ji Hu, not one of your shoots." She rolled her eyes.

Ji Hu ignored her.

"You just have to stand out, don't you?"

Ji Hu had a remark back, but she kept her mouth shut. She didn't need her siblings' time, she just wanted to find out what happened to Madam Ju and finish the day with her will reading. Ji Hu didn't care if she looked out of place, she felt better about herself than the rest of the family did.

"Aren't we all here as a bereaved family? Who gave her the right to be here?" Su Ahn asked.

"The detective has some information for all of us." Seok Min's wife said.

"What on earth could it be?" Su Ahn questioned.

Detective Park and his partner entered the office, bowing at the family. "Good to see you all." The detective took a seat in the last couch, facing the family. "Sorry, that came out wrong." Detective Park said.

"Whatever it is, make it quick. It's rude of us to leave our guests on their own." Seok Min stated.

"Yes, of course, sir." Detective Lee passed something over to Detective Park. Suddenly the table was filled with different documents. "There are just too many documents to go through." Ji Hu glanced over to the detective, nodding her head once. "Did the deceased often take painkillers?" He asked.

"Yes, she had a knee problem." Seok Min's wife answered.

"The medicine she took on the day of her death was..." Detective Park looked at the results. "Was diclofenac."

Ji Hu turned her head to the detectives. "That's not possible." Ji Hu stated. "She was allergic to that medication." Ji Hu said.

"But it's been confirmed that it was diclofenac that she took on the day of her death." Detective Park said. Ji Hu stared at him blankly. "I'm telling you this because the label didn't match the contents." He stated.

"Are you saying that mother passed due to medical negligence?"

"We thought it was a simple heart attack." Seok Min said.

"Didn't Director Choi prescribe her meds? How could this happen?" Su Ahn asked. Ji Hu's mind was going blank with the brand new information about Madam Ju's death. Her hands went over her mouth to keep herself from say a goddamn word.

"We'll investigate all possibilities, so let's not jump to conclusion." Ji Hu was jumping to conclusions right now – first her mind went to Mr. Cha. She had yet to look through the entire file that Ki Hwan drew up for her. But what Mr. Cha told her, how his information would be able to make her the chairwoman of the Mirae Group... did Mr. Cha have proof that someone within the group was planning on murdering Madam Ju?
