Jungkook glanced lightly at Eunwoo.

Eunwoo realized he had inadvertently spoken the truth and immediately corrected himself, "I misspoke. It's your kindness in escorting Miss Manoban home. She's a young lady, and it's not safe for her."

Jungkook withdrew his gaze, not continuing the topic. He did not want to bring up Lisa's subject for the time being. Despite being mentally prepared that she had someone else in her heart, facing it directly still left him feeling restless. He had been naive; how could he simply forget after liking her for so long?

Six years ago, she had willingly donated half her life to provide blood for Sehun. Now, she claimed to have moved on, but she had made a similar choice again. He had thought that if she divorced, he would have a chance... but he should have known better. Just like he could not let go.

When Lisa returned to her apartment, it was already dark outside.

Jennie was still engrossed in her TV show and noticed her return, "Why are you back so late today, working overtime? I had prepared a small cake for you, but since you didn't come back for so long, I ate it one bite at a time."

"I was a bit busy," Lisa replied wearily and headed for the bathroom to prepare for a shower and sleep.

Seeing her condition, Jennie did not disturb her, so she turned off the TV.

Lisa soaked in the bathtub, finally feeling her exhaustion ease. Because of her tiring day, she did not linger in the bath for long. She soon finished and prepared to go to bed.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

Jennie, noticing it, said, "I'll check. Who could it be at this late hour?"

She opened the door, and without warning, a burly bodyguard pushed her aside.

In walked Madam Oh, accompanied by two bodyguards, her expression fierce as if someone owed her money. "Lisa, did you hire someone to harm Sehun?"

She had seen that driver this afternoon. But he had looked suspicious from the start, like he knew he would be caught, offering no resistance. She suspected someone had manipulated him, and her investigation had revealed something interesting.

Just yesterday, the driver's sister received a million-yuan overseas remittance to her account, and his daughter was in the hospital, in need of significant medical expenses. The driver claimed it was from past savings, but his shabby living conditions did not seem to fit someone who could save a million.

She wanted to continue her investigation, but tracing overseas money transfers was proving to be challenging. Without concrete evidence, she could only cast her suspicions on those around Sehun. Her first suspicion was directed towards Lisa because she would never underestimate a woman's desire for revenge. After all, after the divorce of the two families, the Ohio Group had also withdrawn its investment from the Shen Group, and almost all cooperation had been severed. This was a significant blow to the Manoban Group, giving Lisa every reason to take such action.

Lisa heard Madam Oh's voice and came out from inside.

Jennie also realized what was happening and was furious. "Running to someone else's house in the middle of the night to act crazy. Lady, if you're sick, go to the hospital! What do you think your son is to us? What a piece of work."

"Are you a friend of Lisa?" Madam Oh's face was full of disgust. "Humph, you can't expect anything good from a person without manners like you being with Lisa. No wonder she has a twisted heart and conspired against my son!"

"Haha, you're the one who can't expect anything good. You come banging on someone's door in the middle of the night, and then you push people when you get inside! Is this how the Oh family teaches manners? But I shouldn't be surprised. There's nothing your Oh family won't do. Disgusting, absolutely disgusting!" Despite facing a group of people, Jennie was not afraid.
