Because the issue caused such a huge ruckus, naturally Kai followed it closely too.

Back then, not many people knew about the incident. Had it been someone without malicious intentions, they would not have dug this matter up. When he made Secretary Wang investigate this, Jennie's face had actually been flashing through his mind from time to time.

He remembered that back then, Jennie had also tried very hard to explain to him, but he had merely responded with silence. He could not explain how he felt then. He did not know whether he should believe her or not!

However, now, if he was asked whether Jennie would do such a thing, he would definitely say frankly that she would not!

"I'm sorry, CEO Han. We haven't found out for now. The people at the Economy Times aren't willing to reveal anything. This matter has already been suppressed by Chairman Manoban, while this incident has also affected Mayor Kim, so I didn't dare ask too much," Secretary Wang answered softly, studying the brooding Kai. He could not help but say again, "CEO Han, I'm not sure if I should inform you about something."

"What is it?" Kai asked gruffly.

"Miss Krystal has been asking me to get her books on management these past few days. She says she wants to start fresh and return to your side with a new identity. She's decided to quit the showbiz industry and will let you manage Yueying. She wants to be your helpful assistant just like Chairman Manoban and Miss Jennie.

"She cried and begged me that she didn't want anything. She just hopes that you can give her one more chance. CEO Han, forgive me for speaking up. Actually, I can tell that Miss Krystal really loves you. If she can really changes for you this time, maybe you should give her a chance. After all, it's very hard to meet someone that matches you in this world. All these years, haven't you been living happily with Miss Krystal, CEO Han?"

Secretary Wang could not bear to see Krystal so weak and pitiful. After he thought about it, he decided to say a few kind words in the end.

When he heard this, Kai was stunned too.

Indeed, these past few years they had been living happily together, and he was contented too, so why was it that everything had changed once they returned?

'What I want is very simple. If he can treat me well, I don't care about anything else.'

'We're back to our starting point now. Now, we can leave each other alone. I don't want to look back at our past anymore.'

'Just like how you wanted me to let go of you and Krystal... You told me yourself that your love for Krystal is true love...'

Jennie's every word suddenly seemed to harshly knock on his heart like a heavy mallet. He could not help but feel a numbing pain as his head was filled with her condescending and mocking gaze at the South River that day.

True love?

...

As if the air all around him was instantly sucked away, he suddenly felt a little suffocated. A while after that, he waved his hand for Secretary Wang to leave.

Secretary Wang then retreated quietly.

...

Inside the Chairman's office of Glory World Corporation.

When he received Ryujin's call, Lisa was sitting leisurely on the recliner under the book shelf, he was flipping through a book, his fingers even casually had half a cigarette.

"Master, I've finished arranging the information. This time, we can definitely make Yang Jianfeng pay the price and return Missus her innocence!"

Lisa had always felt assured by Ryujin's work. As someone who shadowed him by his side, Ryujin's capabilities were stellar.

As he listened, Lisa's still eyes turned slightly cold. He casually released a puff of smoke and said calmly, "Just send it straight to the court. I've already handled it over there."

"Yes, Master!" Ryujin answered in a low voice, "Right, Master, I have news."

"Hmm?"

"I heard that Kai's mother, Huang Ziyao, has already made Krystal sign the marriage contract, and then it was sent straight the Han Corporation for Kai to sign in the afternoon. However, Kai seems to be hesitating..."

"Hesitating? Why's he hesitating?"

The corner of Lisa's lips curled up with disdain, yet his eyes were gloomy. "Find a way to make him sign it. Does he have no right to stay out of this?"

"Don't worry, Master, I'll get it done. Now that he's temporarily handling Yueying, I'm worried that on Missus' end..."

"I already knew that they'd do that. Your sis-in-law isn't managing Yueying now. She's only handling the South River matters."

"Master, you are wise." Ryujin could not help but smile. No wonder he had given all the South River project work to Missus, allowing her no time for other things. In fact, when Vice President Liu wanted her to go to Yueying, Master had rejected without hesitation. He was too obvious.

He did not want to let the Missus and Kai have any chance of bumping into each other!

Now, he was even...

Really going to let Kai get married to Krystal?

"Master, wouldn't this be too convenient for Krystal?"

"Convenient?"

Lisa smirked, calmly extinguishing the cigarette in his hand. "If he doesn't get married, how can I send out the gift I prepared?"

"I want to take over the entire Yueying and give it to your sis-in-law as dowry, and not an empty rack. Kai's pretty capable, so I'm looking forward to seeing how he recovers Yueying. That'll save us a lot of effort too."

When Lisa said this, Ryujin already understood the meaning behind his words. He then grinned. "Yes, Master, I'll find a way to make him sign it."

...

When Jennie brought the documents over, Lisa had just hung up on the call with Ryujin. His face was still infected with a smile and he looked a little mysterious.

"What's up? Smiling so evilly?"

Jennie squinted and looked at him with her plain eyes. She handed the documents over. "This is all the material about Imperial Sky Entertainment Club. Take a look. If there're no problems, then sign it for me."

He stopped smiling and reached out to take it. Flipping the document open, he said, "Missus, do you have any particular prejudice against me recently? Do I look like the kind of person who'd smile evilly?"

She shot him a side look and handed him a pen. "What do you think?"

He took the pen and then swiftly penned down his exuberant signature. Then, he closed it and handed it back to her. "Leave work earlier this evening. Send the document back and then pack up. I'll wait for you downstairs."

She glanced seriously at the signature, then asked casually, "What are we doing?"

"It's Moonbyul's birthday. He's booked a private room at Imperial Sky. You should change before we go," he said as he examined her uptight work outfit.

"It's not a birthday party, is it?" Jennie closed the document and asked calmly.

"No, it's just a gathering among a few buddies."

"Family is allowed for a buddies' gathering? Hmm, Moonbyul is quite reasonable. Fine, I got it. I'll go downstairs first," Jennie said with a smile. Before he could reply, she had already turned to leave the office.
