Destined To Be Your's

Chapter 23: Her words were law!

"..." With knitted eyebrows, Park Jimin sent sidelong glances at his assistant.

His assistant understood tacitly and dived into the crowd hurriedly. He managed to find Rosè Jung, who had been squeezed to the back by the crowd.

"Rosè, quick, come to Grandma. Let Grandma take a good look at you!" Matriarch Park waved at her happily the moment she saw her.

In response, Rosè Jung walked forward obediently.

"Matriarch, may your happiness be as immense as the East Sea, and may you live as long!"

"My Rosè is indeed filial and sensible. Come, sit beside me with my little sweetheart." As Matriarch Park spoke, she urged Rosè Jung to sit at a seat at the host table.

The moment she said this, the faces of the people around them became strange.

All of them set their gaze toward Rosè Jung and were guessing her status.

Chu Bora had originally counted on her niece to recover some lost ground on her behalf in front of Matriarch Park.

Yet, when she heard what Matriarch Park said, shock filled her heart. She stopped her immediately and said, "Mom, only the Park Family's direct line of descent are allowed to sit at the host table. Rosè Jung is just a nurse; she doesn't have the right to do so!"

When Park Haneul heard that, his face turned ice-cold. He had kept quiet all this time and was waiting for Matriarch Park to introduce him officially.

"A lowly nurse wants to take a seat at the host table? What about the rules?!"

Park Haneul, who was middle-aged, wasn't bad looking; he looked kind of like Old Master Park.

It was just that he seemed to have too many hidden thoughts in his eyes, so his gaze seemed to be filled with a treacherous look.

It was as if he was the one who wielded the highest authority in the Park Family—he sat in his chair and looked like he had his nose in the air.

"Both of you, husband and wife, have indeed memorized the rules of the Park Family. I bet you must also know that the Park Family's direct line of descent only includes the legitimate children, not the illegitimate ones," Matriarch Patk spoke slowly and glanced heartily at Park Haneul and his wife, who were both sitting at the host table.

"If we were to really talk about the rules, don't the both of you have to get up?"

Park Haneul's face fell. "Mom, what do you mean by this..."

"My son is dead. I have only my grandson and great-granddaughter with me now. If there is anyone in this family who causes displeasure to an old lady like me, I will cause displeasure to their entire family!" Matriarch Park interrupted him and slammed her walking stick twice on the floor.

A complete sense of warning seeped through her words.

The Park Family was a big household with a big company and was able to take in an illegitimate son. However, as long as she was alive, she was still the matriarch of the Park Family household.

Her words were law!

Park Haneul had not expected for Matriarch Park to still have such boldness when she was already one foot in the grave. He was silenced to the extent that he could not think of anyway to reply to her.

Wasn't this old lady trying to embarrass him on purpose with so many people watching around them?

Park Haneul wanted to continue and say something, but Chu Bora, who sat beside him, quickly stopped him.
