They were voices of Kai, Sun Yeong, and Chaerin.
Jennie was having difficulty breathing. The hand that was supporting her against the wall was slowly losing strength. She raised her head and looked at Sun Yeong in disbelief, yet she suddenly could not say anything.
Krystal started crying all of a sudden, "I'm sorry, I can't. I can't accept a marriage without Sister's blessing especially when I... I just want your forgiveness, Sis... Jennie, how do I make you feel better? Would you forgive me, forgive everyone else if I let go?"
Krystal's eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Jennie. "If that's the case, I'm willing to let go..."
"Krystal!" Kai frowned as he dragged Krystal over anxiously.
"Krystal, what are you saying?!"
Chaerin looked at Krystal in horror. Finally, she looked at Jennie. "Jennie, Kai and Krystal are getting engaged soon. You know for yourself how Krystal has treated you all these years. Why do you still cling onto the past when they are both in love with each other? Back then, Krystal went out of her way to save your life. Is it so difficult to ask for your forgiveness now?"
"Mother, stop it!" Krystal shouted at her.
"I'm just telling the truth. Isn't it all because of her that our family has become like this today? Your body is still weak because of that incident, yet now she's being ungrateful and isn't even willing to forgive you? Krystal, you're too kind. You care about her and the peace within the Kim family. Don't you know that she doesn't appreciate all of these!"
Chaerin looked at Jennie with disappointment.
Jennie's face looked drained. Did they actually say that she was the one who had messed the Kim family up?
What about her family?
Who messed her family up?
Many years ago, this woman had ruined her happy family, yet now the perpetrator was blaming her for it!
She lowered her head and tried to breathe. Her burning eyes blinked but no tears fell from her pair of dry eyes. Her voice at the moment was as calm as the surface of the quiet water.
"I messed up the Kim family and ruined the peace in your family? Don't you think you destroyed someone's family when you took my father away from us back then? Was Krystal guilty when she approached Kai with other intentions?"
Her calm criticism made the expressions of Chaerin and Krystal freeze.
"Among the whole family, you two have no right to talk about this. Forgiveness? I wouldn't forgive both of you even if I died. If you guys really think I owe Krystal my life..."
Jennie pushed Krystal away and rushed towards a dining cart before tripping because of her unstable steps. Jisoo tried to help her, but she pushed him away and grabbed onto the cart.
A bright reflection flashed in everyone's eyes.
Thud!
Everyone could hear the sound of a steel knife stabbing into flesh.
"Jennie!" Kai was stunned as he gaped at Jennie.
"Sis!" Krystal's body trembled as she saw a fruit knife go right into Jennie's shoulder. Bright red blood dripped from the wound...
Sun Yeong and Chaerin were in shock as well. They never expected the quiet Jennie to do something like this when she was being stubborn.
A cold and sharp pain surfaced, helping her to stay conscious. Her eyes were as cold as ice. She forced herself to pry the knife out of her shoulder while the strong, metallic smell of blood wafted in the air.
"Krystal, this is me paying you back. From now onwards, I don't owe any of you..."
She threw the knife away and blood suddenly came gushing out of her shoulder. She pressed on the wound as she used her large, black windbreaker to cover her shoulder that was drenched in red.
Miraculously, she had never felt so clear-headed before. She could even walk away calmly as everyone looked at her with an aghast expression.
There was a trail of blood in the direction that Jennie left.
As she reached the turning corner of the stairs, she heard the loud sound of a slap followed by Krystal crying, yet Jennie did not have the mood to care anymore.
From now onward, she had nothing to do with the Kim family anymore.
On the other hand —
"Father! How could you hit Mother?"
Krystal's eyes flew wide as she looked at the angry Hyunbin and Chaerin's face swelled.
She could not believe that his usually calm and collected father would hit somebody and even did so in front of Kai and Jisoo.
"Are you not embarrassing enough? The guests are all waiting downstairs. Why don't you get Father already?"
Hyunbin glared at Sun Yeong, then he turned around and looked at Jisoo. "CEO Kim, the banquet is downstairs. Please forgive us for any inconvenience caused."
Jisoo raised his eyebrows and took a glance at everyone before he nodded and went downstairs with his bodyguard.
"Hyunbin! How dare you hit me?"
Chaerin teared up as she looked at Hyunbin, unable to believe what had just happened.
Hyunbin threw her a cold and frightening gaze before heading downstairs. "Today is the Elder's birthday. Don't blame me for being merciless if anyone causes any more trouble."
"Krystal, go and get your grandfather downstairs!"
He then proceeded downstairs as his assistant Ah Hui caught up with him.
"Go and take a look. Make sure to send her to the hospital." Hyunbin sighed quietly.
"Yes!" Ah Hui replied and went down swiftly, quickly rushing towards the direction of the backyard.
