"Grandfather, I don't understand what you're talking about." Somi appeared very innocent.
Chongshan said, "In this period, the Lee family's security has been especially tight. How could a common person possibly approach Lee Jingyuan? Only his granddaughter would have this opportunity. Guards, come!"
Two of the bodyguards behind him came forward. "Elder, what are your orders?"
"Capture Somi. Lock her in the Manoban family's storeroom."
"Understood." The two bodyguards immediately held Somi firmly.
Her complexion was pale as she cried. "My Grandfather is on the verge of death. I am his only relative. Right now, he needs me by his side. Grandfather Manoban, you can't lock me up!"
"So what if he is your grandfather? Considering the Lee family's enormous wealth, who knows if you were the one who tried to murder Lee Jingyuan in an attempt to obtain their one hundred years old business."
"Why would I do that? The Lee family's business has always been mine. I'm it's only successor!" Somi argued back.
All of a sudden, she turned towards Jennie. "Cousin-in-law, won't you speak up for me? When you entered the Lee family's bedroom, you saw that I was pressing a handkerchief against Grandfather's forehead to stop his bleeding. Also, you can also check my phone. There are records that I dialed 120..."
As her hands were pressed behind her back, Kai rushed to reach into her bag to retrieve her phone. He searched through it. "Grandfather, there really are records of my sister calling for the emergency ambulance."
"Father, Somi has always been an obedient and kind child. She definitely wouldn't kill someone for money." Huang Zhishu was in tears as she begged for mercy on her daughter's behalf. "Dad, you can't wrong Somi like this. If you lock her up, what if Director Lee ends up passing away... Somi will lose her only opportunity to send him off. Could you bear to do that to her?"
Manoban Chongshan became uncertain when he heard this. He turned towards Jennie.
"Lock her up." Jennie responded directly. "I had already reached the bedroom when Somi dialled for an ambulance. She only did so to cover up her intentions."
When Somi and the rest heard this, they immediately understood that it was Jennie's request to put her under arrest.
Indeed, Jennie had given Elder Manoban a call earlier to inform him of the whole series of events.
Huang Zhishu saw that her daughter was about to be dragged away and quickly knelt down.
She cried. "Father, nothing is more precious than family in this world. Somi has never met her birth parents and is already pitiful enough. I can guarantee with my own life that she would never attempt to harm her own family for money."
She then glared at Jennie. "It must be Jennie. She must have grown greedy after obtaining ten percent of the Lee Group's shares and wants more. As long as she frames Somi for this, she'll successfully eliminate Elder Lee and Somi, killing two birds with one stone! Father, you cannot fall for Jennie's trick and be used by her!"
Somi followed suit and knelt down. She sobbed miserably. "Grandfather Manoban, I guarantee it with my life, if I really killed my own grandfather, I'll suffer a life worse than death!" In any case, she was completely unrelated to Lee Jingyuan. She could make as many such vows as needed.
"I only wish to be by my grandfather's side while he is still in a critical state. If something happens to him... I don't wish to have any regrets. I won't be able to do anything to him with the way you are all wary of me anyway. At most, I'll remain outside the ward and won't approach him."
She knew hypnosis and could kill Lee Jingyuan just by being outside, sealing his lips forever.
