After Qiutong and Jennie left, Chairman and Chaerin looked upset.
Chaerin was still furious. "That brat! She was still trying to quibble..."
Krystal suddenly spoke up, "Father, Mother, over these years, I'm really grateful for the both of you! Thank you for your care! Thank you for your love and trust! Now that things have progressed this way, it's really not what I hoped for. Although I really don't want to, I think I should leave..."
Chaerin's expression changed. "Krystal, what do you mean?"
Chairman frowned. "Krystal, what are you talking about? Where are you going?"
Krystal miserably looked at them. "Wherever! I don't want to add anymore trouble to this family. The both of you have sacrificed a lot for me! Grandfather is right. If I'm really grateful, I shouldn't keep staying here! I-I don't belong here after all... I should go back to where I belong... I should've done this much earlier. It's all my fault!"
"Krystal, your grandfather isn't chasing you out. You don't have to care about what anyone says as well. I brought you up, and I know who you are. Would anyone know you better than your own mother? Don't do anything foolish. Don't leave me!" Chaerin begged.
Krystal cried, "But, Mother, I can't stay in this home anymore... Sorry, I'm really sorry!"
Chaerin stared at Chairman and urged him to do something.
Chairman sighed, "Krystal, I know that it's been hard for you, but things aren't as serious as you think. Not many people were at the party yesterday anyway. I've ordered an information lockdown as well, so it definitely won't cause any damage to your career! You're our sweetheart, and we'll always be by your side. Who would dare to look down on you?"
"That's right!" Chaerin went along.
As Krystal felt slightly better, Chairman's phone suddenly rang.
It was Hongguang. The head of the Kai's family had called him!
His expression changed. Under Chaerin and Krystal's nervous gazes, he picked up the phone. "Hello..."
"President Kim, I'm pretty sure you know why I'm calling. I hope you can give me a good answer! The Su family is one of the most prestigious families in Imperial. Now that this happened, are you trying to embarrass us!? We thought we were marrying a princess, and now she's just a fake!"
Chairman felt attacked, but he had to suppress his emotions. "That's a bit too harsh. We've been taking care of Krystal since she was young. She's always our sweetheart, always our princess. What do you mean by 'fake'? You know her capabilities and how she's like, don't you?"
