Jennie was shocked and quickly turned around, looking at Jihoom, who was kneeling, in disbelief. He had already aged and had a few strands of white hair on his head. His sharp and frosty face carried the resolution of a soldier, but he was actually kneeling to his own daughter?Jennie's throat immediately became hoarse as she realized that she couldn't speak a single word.
"If you want my life, I will give it to you, Jennie, let Nancy go. We have just celebrated the new year and she is locked up in the Public Security Bureau. The weather there is quite cold and she is alone. Dad is begging you. After all, you two are sisters, please let the past be bygones. Since mLian and your mother-in-law are sisters, and since Lisa is Nancy's cousin, please let her go. Dad is begging you."
Jennie's legs went limp and she almost lost her footing. She took a step back and turned around. She was gritting her teeth with hatred and her breathing gradually became unstable.
Right when she felt helpless and didn't know what to do, the phone in her pocket rang, causing her to be startled for a moment. Jennie looked down and saw that the number was Manoban Group's office number.
"Hello?"
"Miss Kim, this is Assistant Jisoo. President Manoban is in a meeting, but he asked me to call you. President m asked me to tell you that the evidence in Wei's case has been fully controlled, including what had happened back then in that abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of G City eight years ago. All the witnesses and evidence are in his hands, so you don't have to worry about anything."
Jennie tightened her grip on the phone and was unable to speak.
Jisoo continued, "President said that if anyone comes to plead for mercy and if you are hesitating between reason and conscience, you should temporarily avoid it. Don't force yourself too much. You can decide everything after President returns from his meeting."
Jennie had never looked forward to Lisa's appearance so much before this. She held the phone tightly, feeling very grateful.
Lisa always knew what she was thinking. He had even thought that she would be forced to make a decision. No matter how much she hated Jihoon, the person kneeling here would always be her father.
Although Jennie did not want to be soft-hearted, even if she would feel more hatred because of Jihoon's attitude, she did not want to be blinded by her hatred. She can't be soft-hearted, but she can't concentrate on being cruel too. That's why she can't make decisions on this matter.
Fortunately, Lisa was aware of her current situation. Even though he was in an important meeting, he did not forget to tell Jisoo to call her on time. Because of this call, she was able to calm down again.
After finishing the call, Jennie turned and glanced at Jihoon's old face. "If you kneel down again, I will only hate you more. Your great and selfless fatherly love for Nancy was used in the wrong place! You have also found the wrong person to target!"
Jihoon frowned, "Jennie! Dad has already done this, what more do you want? Do you want us all to pay with our lives for the grievances you suffered when you were young?!"
Jennie was stunned by his retort.
Jihoom suddenly stood up, pointed at her nose, and angrily said, "Nancy is your sister, and even though I, your father have knelt in front of you, you don't even blink! You are an insensitive person! Heartless!"
Jennie was not angry. Instead, she smiled and said, "Your psychological warfare is really good." She no longer looked at Jihoon's expression that instantly turned into one of great displeasure. She turned her head away and coldly laughed.
After a while, Old Man and the others returned. Everyone said some polite words on the surface, but Jennie ignored it all the time.
She did not know what Chitthip had asked Lian because she did not say a word after that.
The Old Man asked V to come and sit with him. When Jihoon saw him, his eyes suddenly brightened and he said with a smile, "Old Man, look... I had doubts about V's identity from the beginning, but I did not investigate him thoroughly. Can you give me a face and ask someone to release Nancy for the sake of our Kim Family taking care of your grandson for many years?"
Jennie's eyes lit up as she glanced at Jihoon's expression. When he can't ask anything from her, he decides to attack V and Old Man. Suddenly, she became very curious.
What was going on with Nancy now?
How did Lisa do it?
"Did the Kim Family remember incorrectly?" V looked at Jihoon with a smile that was not a smile. "All these years the person I have been relying on is Jennie. Although the Kim Family has taken us in, but my life is not too different from Jennie's. Do you need me to give an example or two?"
Jihoon immediately shut his mouth. He frowned and turned his head to glare at Lian. It was as if he blamed her for doing such a cruel thing all those years ago.
"Jennie, you're still surnamed Kim after all. I really didn't expect you to be so heartless." Lian suddenly spoke out, aggressively turning everything around.
At this moment, the sound of a car came from outside Manoban Residence.
Old Man looked at the window.
Chitthip smiled and said, "Lisa is back."
Jennie didn't look out. She only looked at Lian indifferently. "The thing that Aunt Lian hates the most all these years is that I'm also surnamed Kim, right?" Suddenly she laughed.
Lian's expression froze as she glared at her. "You!"
Nanny Cheng went to open the door. Snow rarely falls in the city, but at this time, there were actually some snowflakes floating outside. Lisa's tall and straight figure came in, and there were even some snowflakes on his shoulders, hair, and his black trench coat.
As soon as Lisa entered the door, he seemed to have no idea that people from the Kim Family were there. A trace of intriguing expression flashed across his face as he looked at Jihoon and Lian. He was surprised but only for a moment before he casually threw the car keys aside.
"Is it lively?" He said in his clear voice and his elegant smile, as if the silence in the room had nothing to do with him.
Jihoon stood up, with a little anger in his eyes. He was hesitant about how to speak, but Lian quickly pulled her husband to sit before he could open his mouth. She was reminding him with her eyes not to be impulsive.
"Lisa, you're back?" Lian smiled. Her eyes were full of courtesy and caution.
Lisa swept his gaze over them. With a hint of a smile on his face, he took off his windbreaker and casually passed it to Nanny Cheng, who was standing not far. He then smiled and said, "If I remember correctly, today is the first day of the New Year."
Jihoon did not want to beat around the bush anymore, so he used his elder's aura to say in a cold voice directly. "Lisa, there is no need to bit around the bush. You already know that Lian and I are your elders, and Nancy is your only cousin, so why did you do this? It's the New Year, and Nancy was just taken away like that! Do you want to break the kinship with the Kim family?"
Jihoon had already lost all his patience and his attitude was very stiff.
Lisa's lips curved into a smile. "What did uncle say earlier? Nancy is my only cousin? Because she is still young and lacks good discipline, I sent her to the Detention Center. If this was someone else's daughter, she would have already been thrown into chaos. The two of you still have time to rush to H City overnight, so I believe the both of you know the reason why this happened. I don't need to explain it further."
