Pick Up a Son, Get a Free Husband 9

Chapter 1797: Head Lady

Based on Mother Manoban's tone, that girl seemed to have been a fake...

Jennie then asked, "Didn't you guys have the girl and Leo do a DNA test?"

She looked regretful when she heard Jennie's question. "We were too excited and happy, so we didn't doubt her at all. Leo arrived that fateful night, and we never expected anyone to come and deceive us!

"Afterward, the girl was getting better and better with Leo. We did think about having them do a DNA test before, but Leo rejected us every time. Leo would do anything for that woman!

"We were delighted to see Leo happy, so we did things his way. We treated that woman pretty well too..."

"Didn't Lisa say something about this?" Jennie did not understand.

Mother Manoban sighed, "Lisa was really mad about what happened. He couldn't care any less about this woman. He just reminded us to do a DNA test and didn't say anything else...

"What I regret the most was my blind trust towards that woman and never having bothered to confirm it...

"Only until Lisa came back and asked to see the DNA report, we thought about it and decided that it was safer to do the test as well, so we brought it up again.

"Leo argued with us over this matter, but that woman calmed him down. She said it was alright and let the doctor take her blood obediently.

"We thought that we were overthinking and were being rude to the girl. We blamed Lisa for being cold. Not only did this hurt Leo, it hurt the girl too..."

She was reminded of something and her voice shuddered, "And then... on the night when we were waiting for the DNA test results, Leo was kidnapped..."

The atmosphere became heavy all of a sudden.

It took a while for her to calm down. "We then realized the girl was part of the plan of an old core member of the company who had been kicked out when he was found out to be misusing company funds! Although we were able to get there on time to stop the worst from happening and Leo didn't get hurt, he was hurt by a person he trusted dearly. Ever since then, Leo closed himself up completely...

"As for us, we didn't believe anyone easily anymore. We also forbid Jisoo from getting too close with any of the artistes under him..."

She then grabbed Jennie's hands tightly. "Jennie, I'm sorry... What happened back then had a really huge impact on us. No matter who we saw, we just thought that they had bad intentions, especially you... You were much too similar to the woman back then...

"We hoped Lisa would find a suitable mother for Leo, partly for the family. At least, we hoped that the same tragedy won't happen again. After that whole fiasco, there was a huge mess within the family. As everything added up, tragedy still struck...

"Until... until you used your life to wake us up, to walk out of the past shadows and prejudice...

"I know that we've done some irreversible damage. I don't expect you to accept terrible in-laws like us as long as you wake up, as long as you're safe with Lisa and Leo!"

Tears welled up in her eyes as she took a bracelet off of her wrist. "This is a bracelet that's been handed down for generations. It's for the head lady of every generation. I'm passing it to you now, I hope... you'll accept it..."
