Chaerin was pale and she balled fists as she looked at Hyunbin, muttering, "Hyunbin, Krystal wasn't sensible. She's still young. Don't blame her..."
"Still young? She was only in her teens and she's already learned such evil tricks to frame her own sister. How's she considered still young? The student becomes the master after she was taught by you."
"Father, I already said that I really didn't do that on purpose!"
Hyunbin shot Krystal a side look. Quickly, his gaze fell onto Chaerin with a coldness that could not be hidden in his still eyes. "If you still want to keep your position as the mayor's wife, I hope you'll buck up and play your role well."
"Hyunbin, listen to me..." Chaerin shivered slightly. She immediately went up to him and was about to hold onto his arm, yet he just lifted a hand and turned around indifferently. Consequently, he reached out to nothing.
"I hope that this can stop where it is right now. You two, stop disturbing Ye Jin and Jennie. As for Jennie getting expelled from the military academy, Krystal, you'd better be able to persuade your cousin to explain it clearly. Otherwise, when the court sends a letter to us, if I find out that you two stirred trouble up, you'd better be prepared to leave the Kim family."
Hyunbin then coldly left the ward, refusing to stay for another second.
His words left Chaerin in panic and shock. Her gaze was fixed on the doorway ahead that was already empty as she muttered, "What? What does he mean by leave the Kim family? Krystal, did your father say something about leaving the Kim family? Who's leaving the Kim family?"
"Mother, Father's just saying those out of anger. Don't take them seriously..." Krystal looked at the empty doorway ahead, yet her gaze had already instantly turned bitter.
"He wants to divorce me? He wants to chase us out of the Kim family, does he? Is that so? Huh, Krystal?" Chaerin clutched onto Krystal's sleeves and asked with a worried expression.
"He wants to bring Ye Jin and her daughter back... He must be thinking of bringing them back... No way! I'm telling you, no way! Even if I die, I wouldn't let Ye Jin that b*tch have her way! Hyunbin can only be mine. He's mine! I'm the Mayor's wife., I'm the daughter-in-law of the Kim family! Ye Jin is nothing. She's just an abandoned woman. What does she have to deserve to fight with me? What?!"
Chaerin could not calm down.
"Mother! Calm down! There's no way Father would divorce you. Grandfather and Grandmother wouldn't agree, and there's Grandfather [1] and the rest too, so what are you worried about?"
Krystal looked worriedly at Chaerin with mixed emotions in her eyes.
How could she say that she actually really hated how Chaerin would look all lowly in front of Hyunbin every time?
Why could she not be like Ye Jin and look icily arrogant too?
She knew that Hyunbin hated the way she looked meek and always tried to win his favor, yet she would continue to act just like that!
As Chaerin listened to her daughter, she relaxed a little and quickly nodded. "Right, right... Your father can't divorce me. Right, how did I forget? Even if Ye Jin's dead, she'll never get your father!"
...
Two days later, Kai still did not reveal himself and he did not go to the office either. No one knew where he had gone. Huang Ziyao, Krystal and the rest were worried sick. In fact, at the same time, a letter from the court had been sent to Krystal, causing everyone to go into an alarm.
Naturally, it was about Jennie getting expelled from the military academy.
The next afternoon, after mobilizing discussions all around and Krystal had received the court's letter, Yang Jianfeng had unexpectedly gone to the court himself to come clean about the truth, taking on all the criminal charges. Because there was no direct evidence, Krystal had dodged a bullet.
She was secretly glad. Thankfully, Yang Jianfeng had not used those drugs back then. Otherwise, she...
As for Yang Jianfeng becoming the black sheep, it was something within Jennie's expectations. Even though she was a little unhappy about it, at least this could prove her innocence. In fact, everyone had always been clear about the whole incident, so she could only reluctantly accept this result.
It was Chittip who called herself to explain the whole situation. Jennie knew what she was about to say, so her reaction was very calm. "Mother, I understand. I agree to drop the lawsuit."
Chittip fell silent for a moment on the other end of the phone before she continued, "Mmm, this implicates a lot. If we continue to hold on to it, they might want to look into your self-defense with excessive force. Jennie, if you want to continue, I won't stop you..."
Jennie breathed in slightly and shook her head. "No need, Mother, just let it be. I agree to drop it."
"Okay, the court will adjust the charges. They'll let you publicly clarify this matter. Don't worry and don't be too pressured."
"Mmm, thanks, Mother."
"I'll explain the situation to Lisa too. That's that then."
...
Just as Chittip was about to hang up, Jennie suddenly asked, "Hold on, Mother. How's Father?"
"Don't worry. Nothing happened. Don't fret too much. Leave work earlier today to rest. You've been too tensed these past few days. Don't overburden yourself..."
...
After she hung up on Chittip, Jennie felt more relaxed. She slowly stood up and turned to look out the window behind her. This was when she noticed that the sky was clear outside. It was the kind of sky after the rain had cleared.
Knock knock!
Right at that moment, there was suddenly a knock from outside.
Jennie did not turn to look and just responded, "Come in."
The door opened very quickly as her assistant, Xiao Mei, brought in a young fellow who walked in with a huge bouquet of yellow roses in his arms.
"Director Kim, this young man says someone sent you flowers!"
When she heard this, Jennie slowly turned around and looked suspiciously at the man.
The young man smiled and walked up to her while holding the bouquet up to take a closer look at the card. "Are you Miss Jennie?"
Jennie raised her brows and did not answer, but the delivery boy was already sure it was her and handed her the bouquet. "Miss Kim, these are flowers a mister has bought for you. Please sign for them!"
Who sent her flowers?
Was it Lisa?
The first name Jennie thought of was Lisa. She swiftly took the delivery order and wrote her name down. Then, she took the flowers as Xiao Mei and the fellow swiftly exited.
She peered down at the bouquet in her hands and very quickly noticed the envelope stuck in the flowers. Holding it up to read, she unexpectedly realized that it was Kai's handwriting!
A line of messy scrawling appeared in her sight.
Jennie, I'm sorry. Thank you for the love you once granted me. I should have cherished it!
When she saw these words, Jennie felt a sourness in her heart for some reason and her eyes suddenly started to turn hot.
