"Lian, how do you usually teach Nancy? How can you let her be friends with scum like Wei ?! I heard he was one of the hoodlums in G City. It was because of your overindulge, she was like this. Just like eight years ago, how old was Jennie at that time? She was only seventeen years old and how could you just watch a seventeen year old girl being taken away by those people? In any case, Jennie was also Jihoon's daughter!"Chitthip's dissatisfied words suddenly made Jennie feel chill on her back.
Eight years ago... The incident when she was seventeen. Even though it was a long time ago, what had happened at that time was still fresh in her mind.
Jennie sat stiffly on the couch. Old Man, who was next to her, suddenly clapped her hands when he felt her uneasiness. "Spoiled girl, don't be afraid. Grandpa is here."
Jennie looked at him. From his gaze, she could tell that Old Man already knew what happened to her that year.
Seeing the comfort in the Old Man's eyes, Jennie's heart immediately became warm as she smiled and nodded, "Thank you, grandpa."
Old Man smiled contentedly. His eyes filled with love and heartache. "You, spoiled girl, no wonder you are usually so carefree. It turns out that all the storms in life have been experienced by you since you were young. In the future, the Manoban Family will be your backer. What you didn't have when you were young, grandpa will definitely tell Lisa to compensate you."
Jennie shook her head. She was so touched to the point that she wanted to cry. She had to endure it. She can't shed any tears in front of these people from the Kim Family.
At this moment, Jihoon finally spoke up helplessly. "I was very busy with what happened that year and completely unaware of what happened to Jennie. When I found out that she was in critical danger, she was already in her last breath."
"Jennie, if dad knew what had happened to you, I would not let the bastard off! But I really did not know, you were unconscious at that time."
"After you woke up, you did not say a word. After that, you suddenly ran away from home. You disappeared for seven years.?I ..." Jihoon looked at Jennie with a pained expression, as if he had only just learned the truth. "I'm sorry, child. Dad didn't expect Nancy to be so immature at that time."
"Yeah, Nancy was too young at the time. She was one year younger than Jennie. At that time, she was only sixteen years old and was still in the rebellious phase. As parents, we didn't care about her and didn't know what kind of person she knew outside." Lian explained in a soft voice.
"You don't know?" Jennie asked sarcastically with a smile. "Since you don't know, then why did you throw me, who had a fever with a temperature of 39 degrees to the front yard of the Kim Family on the second day I was rescued?"
"Why did you let me, who was wearing a single thin garment, be frozen in the snow for nearly two days? So how can you not know? And why would you do that? That's because you want to make a false impression of my unfortunate death, to cover up the big mistake your daughter has made!"
Lian frowned and immediately explained. "You are wrong. Jennie, you weren't in a good condition at that time and weren't suitable to receive an injection. I was also confused at the time and thought if I used an ice bag to cool the temperature, it was no different than using snow. So for that reason, I let you be exposed to the snow at that time. I did all this to cool your body temperature. It's just that at that time, Jennie was too willful. She just laid in the snow and didn't move, making people think that her stepmother had mistreated her."
As if she knew that Jennie never let this matter go and knew that her chances were low, Lian smiled and kindly said, "Jennie, at that time, when you were in the Kim Family, you often called me Aunt Lian. I treated you and V as if you were both my own children. Even though you mysteriously escaped from home when you were seventeen, you have to remember, you had stayed in Kim Residence since you were four."
"If I really want to do anything to you, why have I waited until you were seventeen years old and an adult before hurting you? Your dad and I are here to apologize to you for the harm Nancy brought to you due to her ignorance."
"Nancy was so spoiled since she was young and liked to bully you but we didn't expect she would do that. It was out of our control. If we knew about it sooner, we would stop her."
Jennie didn't know why it had suddenly changed so much, but she knew it was probably because of Lisa. Since when did he start to investigate this?
While he was busy every day, she had no idea that he had never forgotten to vent his anger to whatever had happened to her in the Kim Family.
Had he always been secretly doing all of this for her?
Although Jihoon wasn't clear about that matter, ever since she ran away from home, he had never intended to investigate and never really saw her as his daughter.
This kind of relationship was enough to sever all relationships between a father and a daughter, and Lian's seemingly innocent words make Jennie want to laugh.
Jennie calmly asked, "Excuse me, but I don't understand the meaning behind those words. Why are events that happened in the past being mentioned out of nowhere? Did you two come here all of a sudden to tell us all how ignorant your precious daughter was when she was sixteen? Or do you both think that my scars were easy to pluck?"
Lian's expression froze, but Jihoon was a little helpless, "Jennie, dad knows you hate Kim Family, hate me, hate Lian, and hate Nancy even more. But both of your bodies bleed the same blood, and you two are my daughters, so no matter which one of you is hurt, dad will still feel sad. Now, because of you, Nancy was taken away by the enforcement department last night while the whole family was having a New Year's dinner!"
"We know that it was all part of Lisa's plan. Nancy caused you such an injury during the Spring Festival eight years ago and left you almost dead. Eight years later, Lisa clearly wants Nancy to feel the same way! After she was taken away, we received a call and found out what had happened. We booked a plane ticket this morning and rushed to meet Lisa, but he avoided us. We have no choice but to come to Manoban Residence and plead for mercy on Nancy's behalf."
Jennie understood the meaning behind Jihoon's words in a few seconds. She had no choice but to admit that the ferocity of Lisa's move was not limited to just herself. Don't ever think that despite his calm demeanor, he was not a ruthless person.
On this New Year's Eve, Jennie was exceptionally happy. Lisa had gifted her with the accomplishment of life last night, but she did not expect that the next day he would give her another gift by disturbing the peace in the Kim Family. He was seeking justice for what happened to her eight years ago.
All of this was within his calculations. He remained calm and collected during this period, making her completely unaware of it.
A man like Lisa, who was in control of the situation while being calm and collected, was utterly terrifying.
"Jennie."
Seeing Jennie remained silent, Jihoon sighed, with a sign of pleading in his eyes. "Can you save Nancy for the sake of the relationship between us, father and daughter?"
Jennie raised her eyes. Although she knew that Jihoon would ask for her help, but she did not think he was so direct.
There was a surprise in her eyes as she looked at him in disbelief.
