On a splendid afternoon, the Kim family were in West Park.
"What did you say? Jennie's married? To Lisa? Glory World's Lisa Manoban?"
In the living room, Sun Yeong widened her eyes at Krystal. Her aged face stiffened with disbelief. "Tell me again! Who did she marry?"
When Krystal saw Sun Yeong reacting like this, she panicked and quickly walked over. Holding Sun Yeong, she advised, "Grandmother, don't get too emotional. Jennie's married to Lisa. This happened before the New Year. Kai told me this himself. It shouldn't be wrong."
"Married... to Lisa Manoban? Glory World? This is impossible! There's no news of their marriage at all since before the New Year till now. This is not possible! How could she get married without letting us know? How could this be? Where does she put the Kim family? It would be a joke if people heard about this!"
Sun Yeong's expression looked particularly rigid. She stared at Krystal in shock, and it was as if all her energy had left her. She collapsed onto the sofa behind her in a daze.
"What's impossible? The truth is so. They were already married before the New Year."
The instant Sun Yeong expressed her disbelief, Kim Jiyang's calm, weathered voice rang out. Krystal turned to the source of the sound and noticed Kim Jiyang standing on the stairs.
"Grandfather!" Krystal called out softly.
Kim Jiyang nodded before he slowly walked down with the help of the railings. His body that turned thinner and frailer by the day looked like a flickering candle in the wind. His aged face was wan and sallow from illness.
When Kim Jiyang spoke, Sun Yeong instantly looked up at him. Her sharp eyes contained some iciness. "What? Did you already know about this?"
Kim Jiyang made his way down the stairs slowly as he looked at them. "Hyunbin and I have met them. We've met the Manoban family, so it's not that she didn't inform the family."
"What did you say?! You and Hyunbin have met the Mus? Does that mean this is real?"
When Sun Yeong heard his revelation, her expression turned cold as she looked at Kim Jiyang. The gleam in her eyes dimmed while she stared angrily at Kim Jiyang. "You mean you and Hyunbin already knew about this! Jennie just told the two of you and left us out. She didn't even think of her grandmother?"
You could hear the fury in her sharp voice. Even Chaerin, who listened from the side, had a change in expression. They were all upset.
"Mother, if that really is the case, then Jennie's really gone overboard. She..."
On the side, Chaerin did not forget to make things worse, yet when she saw Kim Jiyang frown, she immediately held her tongue again.
Kim Jiyang did not answer and just ambled over slowly.
Sun Yeong's expression began to look like the rolling of dark clouds. The cold light in her eyes shifted while her hands were already clenched into fists. Finally, she could not help but flip the coffee table in front of her. As if she exploded, she got up swiftly!
There was a deafening crash as the entire coffee table was overturned. The teacups and teapots on it shattered all over the ground, frightening Chaerin and Krystal.
"Great... Just great! You two kept it a secret from me. You both hid it from me! You don't think it's important to tell me! Great!" Sun Yeong started to tremble. She was shrouded in gloom as she glared at Kim Jiyang. "You two treat me like an outsider!"
"Mother, calm down. Have a seat first. Be wary of your health!"
Chaerin went up worriedly, yet Sun Yeong pushed her away before walking up to glare at Kim Jiyang. "I, Sun Yeong have slaved hard for decades now. How much have I sacrificed for the Kim family? Yet, Kim Jiyang, you still treat me like an outsider! Jennie left me out completely and didn't attach a single ounce of importance to me as a grandmother. You and Hyunbin have even agreed to it? How great! You two are great! Both denying my existence! How outrageous! Simply outrageous!"
"Grandmother, calm down. The doctor says you can't get too emotional. Be careful with your health. Let's just hear what Grandfather has to say about what actually happened." Krystal frowned and held Sun Yeong. When she saw that her grandmother was on the verge of losing control, she felt worried.
"So what if we told you? Should I let you go and stir trouble? Because of Yueying's matters, you and Jennie have been at conflict with each other. You yourself know to what extent! Would you only be happy if you messed everything up?" Kim Jiyang burst out as he looked at the shattered mess on the ground. His expression darkened.
"Are you blaming me now? Kim Jiyang, you'd better watch your conscience. I do all of this for the Kim family! Otherwise, would you just watch helplessly as Yueying collapses? Now, Yueying is in an unstable position. The 20% shares Ye-Jin is holding is like a time bomb. Jennie now even controls 70% of the shares. If she sells all of these shares, Yueying might just collapse immediately!"
Sun Yeong's aged face sank as she turned her furious eyes to Kim Jiyang. "Now, it's just perfect. You're turning around to blame me, aren't you? Recently, I've been worried over so many things, yet have you said anything? Kim Jiyang, ever since the day I married you, have I ever treated the Kim family poorly? Now, you and Hyunbin are going to do a bank run on me like this, aren't you? Tell me! Tell me!"
The more Sun Yeong spoke, the angrier she got and the more she felt wronged. She flung the magazine in hand at Kim Jiyang as her breath started to quicken.
Kim Jiyang fended off the magazine she hurled at him. He narrowed his eyes at Sun Yeong as he spoke coldly, "I told you that since Yueying is the Kim family's property, what's wrong with giving half to Jennie and the other half to Krystal? It's you lot who are making things so complicated, wanting to have it all for yourself, so what else can I say? Whoever wants to get the role of CEO can just do so with their own capabilities."
"Half for each of them? You might as well just demolish it all! With Jennie's conduct, do you think she can keep Yueying safe? Do you want to let the two sisters fight to their death? I told you Yueying is my life. Whoever wants to touch it will have to do so over my dead body!"
"Huh, that's your problem then! When you made me hand the shares over, you should've thought about this outcome. In fact, now Jennie doesn't care for your Yueying. She..."
Kim Jiyang suddenly thought of Yong-Gun.
"I hope that you lot will behave. Avoid the painful consequences that you'll have to suffer yourselves in the end. Don't be a joke. Stop causing trouble and let the Kim family have some peaceful days. You won't get anything good out of offending the Manoban family, including the Yues!"
When Kim Jiyang said this, he could not help but feel worn out. Then, he turned to walk upstairs.
