Chapter 3: Yeri Manobal

Lalisa did not take the matter of saving Jeon Jungkook seriously. She did not expect Jungkook to repay her.

She had saved too many people. Today it was just a walkover.

Lalisa acted as if nothing had happened. She walked to the road and hailed a taxi. It took her an hour and a half to reach the Manobal residence.

This place was where the wealthy people gathered, and the Manobal Family was in the most prominent position. The Manobal residence was also very luxurious. As soon as she walked through the door, she could see a spectacular fountain. A pavilion and a large garden were in the courtyard for afternoon tea. It looked rich and imposing.

When Lalisa saw this, her expression turned even colder.

The Manobal Family was so rich, but no one thought of the previous host, leaving the dignified eldest daughter of the Manobal Family to die of illness in the countryside.

She pulled her suitcase and walked straight through the main door. The servants at the door did not plan to line up to welcome her at all. They looked at Lalisa in disdain.

"Young miss is rude. She barged indirectly."

"I heard that she was difficult to please before she was sent to the countryside. She threw a tantrum and smashed things every day."

"She poisoned her brother when she was little. She's vicious."

"She is not as kind as the second young lady."

"It's only because Madam is kind that she brought her back from the countryside."

These servants thought Lalisa was a timid country bumpkin and spoke without restraint.

Lalisa's mother passed away seven years ago. The Madam that the servants mentioned was called Yang Xuan, and she was her mother's best friend when her mother was alive. After Lalisa's mother passed away, Yang Xuan often came to the Manobal residence to care for the children, so her father married her.

Yeri Manobal was the daughter of Yang Xuan and her ex-husband. Because her ex-husband passed away, she brought her along and married her. Yang Xuan even changed her daughter's surname to Manobal and brought Yeri to attend different occasions.

Those who did not know them would think that Yeri was the biological daughter of the Manobal Family.

Lalisa had already asked around. Outsiders said that the Manobal Family was loving. Some people did not even know of Lalisa and thought that Yeri was the eldest daughter.

Lalisa still remembered the previous host's room. She was about to go upstairs with her suitcase when a girl in a white dress suddenly stopped her.

The little girl said excitedly, "Sister, welcome back."

She walked over from the direction of the kitchen. She was not as tall and slim as Lalisa. She was petite and cute, looking as delicate as a little flower.

This girl was Yeri, Lalisa's sister in the name.

Yeri smiled sweetly and said, "I knew you were coming back today, so I asked the kitchen to prepare more dishes. They're all your favourites."

Lalisa did not want to talk with her, so she went upstairs without answering.

However, Yeri insisted on showing her friendliness and quickly chased after her, saying, "Sister, you didn't forget about me, did you? I'm your little sister, Yeri. When we were young, we always played together. You even said we would be together for the rest of our lives. Now, it finally comes true."

Lalisa had inherited all of the host's memories. Of course, she remembered what she said, but he also remembered how Yeri and her mother had deceived the previous host into staying with the Manobal Family for a long time. The pitiful host thought she had a sister and auntie, but in the end, she invited a wolf into the house.

At such a young age, Yeri's acting skills was already top-notch. Not only did she drug the previous host to make her irritable and push all the blame onto her, but she also falsely accused the previous host of poisoning Leyton. Although Yeri's words seemed like she was defending the previous host, each sentence pinned the blame on her.

Her mother, Yang Xuan, even suggested sending the previous host to the countryside.

The previous host naively thought that Yang Xuan would plead for her, and she cried to see Auntie Yang before she left.

Lalisa had nothing to say to her, so she said, "I want to go back to my room."

"I've already gotten someone to tidy up your room. You can move in immediately." Yeri called the servant, "Hurry up and lead the way for my sister."

After saying that, she even came to carry Lalisa's luggage, as if she welcomed her sister from the bottom of her heart.

However, Lalisa did not want her to touch her suitcase, so she picked it up and went upstairs.

Yeri was far from quiet on the way. She enthusiastically pointed out all the changes that had been made to the residence, including the new curtains.

"I like to decorate the house, so Dad lets me do whatever I want." Yeri said it shyly.

Lalisa nodded and said, "It's pretty good. You saved money on finding an interior designer."

Yeri was stunned. Did Lalisa mean that she was just a free designer?

In the next moment, Yeri realized that she was overthinking.

Lalisa had always been easy to persuade, especially since she had grown up in the countryside and likely felt guilty about spending money.
