The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife

Chapter 182: Solution

Krsytal simply explained what happened, and then headed straight for Yueying after lunch.

Inside Yueying's CEO office, Sun Yeong and Chaerin were already waiting.

Sun Yeong's expression was stormy and the aura around her was unapproachable. Chaerin seemed really worried and anxious as she paced up and down the office.

She quickly went up to Krsytal as soon as she came in. "Krsytal, what happened? Yesterday didn't you and Kai...?"

Krsytal put her bag onto the sofa and saw several newspapers Chaerin had put aside. Her beautiful face went ashen as she looked at them and picked one up. She flipped through it as sadness overflowed in her eyes.

"What's happening? And what about the ambassador? Aren't you already contracted and confirmed?" Sun Yeong's face looked tensed and stared at Krsytal when she saw her acting so oddly.

Krsytal took a deep breath and looked at Sun Yeong, hidden pain in her eyes. She toughened herself up and was silent for a moment before saying, "It's fine, Grandmother, Mother. Don't ask me about this anymore. It's all my fault. Let's just ignore this scandal for now. Give it some time and people will soon forget about it." Her voice sounded disappointed as she sat down onto the sofa quietly.

Sun Yeong and Chaerin traded glances at each other after they heard her. They came to the same conclusion. Sun Yeong asked her coldly, "Your sister did it again, didn't she?"

"Mother, it must be her! Jennie is the Director of Glory World Corporation and Chairman Manoban is her superior. How could Krsytal have a good impression if she just slips in criticism to the top brass? And these newspapers might be her work too! Just who's that Caitlyn? She's just an old celebrity hag who's past her prime. She's nowhere as popular as Krsytal now. If not for someone's help, how could she have beaten Krsytal?"

Chaerin was getting angry as she spoke, her dissatisfaction towards Jennie growing larger, especially after what had happened at the meeting with Yu Jin the last time. Besides giving her a hard time in front of Yu Jin by calling Hyunbin, Hyunbin's attitude towards her after that was just...

She had exhausted everything to keep Hyunbin beside her, and finally became the mayor's wife, yet now Jennie made her embarrass herself in front of her past rival, Hyunbin's ex-wife. How could she take this?

"Krsytal should've been guaranteed to become the ambassador! I've spoken to several directors and they all agreed to put in good words for her at different levels, so how did things turn out this way? They were really fond of Krsytal too!"

Chaerin frowned intensely and looked at Sun Yeong. "Also there's the matter about Yueying's shares, Mother. If not for Jennie, there's no way Yu Jin wouldn't have given it back to you if you confronted her. She's now targeting Krsytal. Just how many times has it been? I really don't want to talk about it. I'm worried people might comment on me mistreating my stepdaughter, but you've witnessed it all along the years. Just how many years have I been in the Kim family? Have I ever mistreated her? Have I not thought of her first whenever there's something good?"

Sun Yeong's expression darkened when she heard Chaerin's words. If Jennie heard these words, she wondered how she would react.

Thought of her first whenever there was something good?

Was there even once that whatever that "something good" was had not been taken away by Krsytal for various reasons?

"Mother..." Krsytal's frail voice broke the silence.

She looked at Chaerin helplessly with an underlying tone of criticism in her voice. "You really shouldn't go to meet Aunt Shen on your own. Grandmother should be the one to meet her instead. We're the one at fault here. Aunt Shen and Sister had it rough all these years, and we're doing pretty fine. Can't we be more understanding towards them? After all, you're Aunt Shen's good friend, aren't you?"

These uncomfortable words worked its effects on Chaerin. She raised her head and looked at Krsytal with inexplicable helplessness in her expression. "Krsytal, you're only saying that because you don't understand what's happening between us. Yu Jin was nearly identical like her daughter. She was cold and distant. Do you think I've done nothing all these years?"

"But, Mother..."

Krsytal was about to continue, but the once-silent Sun Yeong voiced out, "Alright, that's enough! Stop bringing up the past. If this is really Jennie's doing, she's overdone it this time! She shouldn't give her own family such a hard time. I know she's angry with me for forcing her to sign on the contract as well as over the matter with Krsytal and Kai, but what else does she want after things have turned out this way?"

Sun Yeong's voice was strict and firm. The elder's eyes looked sharp as she said coldly, "If I don't do so, how should we solve the crisis for Yueying? The Han family aren't idiots either. Why would they help us out for nothing in return? They'll only help if I say Yueying will be your dowry in the future! But the shares in Yu Jin's hands are like a ticking bomb for us. It could explode anytime, so we have to get that document!"

"Mother, what do you want to do?" Chaerin's eyes brightened and she quickly turned over to Sun Yeong.

Sun Yeong stood up from her chair and said, "We'll go with the old way for Krsytal's matter. We'll let the scandal die down on its own. Krsytal, you don't have to do give an explanation to the public. The company will arrange more events with other partners to wash the negative news away. You have to be careful as well. Try not to be involved in these matters again. The company is in deep trouble right now, so avoid accumulating more issues."

"Then, about the shares..." Chaerin asked quietly.

"I have my plans. Leave it for now. We can start preparing on the projects with Kim Group. The stakeholder meeting is near and there will be drastic changes. Be wary!" Sun Yeong cautioned seriously.

Chaerin and Krsytal exchanged glances before nodding.
