In the banquet hall, the decoration looked glamorous. All the guests and relatives were wishing the elder and greeting him with auspicious words.
Without a doubt, everyone was focused on the current head, Chairman Kim and his family.
The guests attending were all powerful people from the city. Aside from Chairman Kim's business partner, there was also Krystal's powerful friends within the industry. All the other relatives were jealous of them but still fawned over them for the sake of their benefit.
"Mrs Kim, you're so blessed, your husband is so capable and so is your daughter!"
"I'm really envious of your daughter. Not only is she pretty, she's getting more and more popular! Apart from her acting career, she has even started a company of her own!"
"I know, right? Her brand is even famous overseas, many friends of mine were asking me to make a reservation for them for the latest items!"
...
Krystal felt a little shy from all the compliments. "Uncle, Aunt, you all are exaggerating, I was just fooling around with my free time."
"She's not just capable, she's got a good personality and she's humble as well. Nothing like the one I have at home, always getting me into trouble! Madam Kim, how did you manage to have such a wonderful daughter, give us some tips!" a bunch of people started asking Mrs Kim.
She looked at her daughter proudly and smiled. "I don't really have much experience actually, Krystal never really needed me to worry about her."
"Oh, how envious!"
Among the waves of praises, a small voice piped up, "Speaking of which...I really don't know what the elder was thinking, he already has such a fabulous granddaughter, yet he still insisted on adopting a little girl from his hometown and put her under your care. Then, she caused so much trouble...was he trying to just spice up his life?"
Mrs Kim's mouth tightened into an unnatural smile and she said, "He pitied her and was just trying to be kind...we as the younger generation could only follow his will."
She was totally carving out a clear-cut description of her relationship with Jennie.
Until today, no one knew that Jennie and Krystal had exchanged their identity. Everyone still thought that Jennie was just an adopted child from the elder's hometown.
At first, when the elder took Jennie back, he was going to publicize her identity since she was his real grandchild and her parents had agreed.
But...no thanks to Krystal's provocation, Jennie had embarrassed her family on several occasions, making her parents really unhappy.
On the day they were going to announce Jennie's actual identity, Jennie had worn a counterfeit version of a branded dress and was found out, bringing unspeakable humiliation to her family.
The both of them instantly changed their mind, deciding not to announce Jennie's identity and they had been delaying the matter. Five years ago, after Jennie did something else that insulted the family name, they totally gave up on coming clean about her identity and sent her overseas instead...
"You're really kind for sending her overseas to study as well, but it has been five years, isn't it? She should have graduated, hasn't she? I wonder what she's doing now? Is she working in Kim International?" a distant relative asked.
