Because it happened so suddenly, and there were many members of the media present, one can only imagine how quickly the news of the incident spread!
In just one night, the facade of the loving couple, Hyunbin and Chaerin, was shattered. Rumors sprang everywhere!
Hyunbin and Ye-Jin's relationship was unearthed.
At the villa, Ryujin had just finished breakfast when his phone vibrated. It was a call from a subordinate!
"Bro Mo, quickly take a look at the newspaper. Something's happened to Mayor Kim and Teacher Son!"
When Ryujin heard the urgent voice, he instantly frowned and quickly flipped through the newspapers that had just been delivered. Splattered across the headlines were reports about the incident with Hyunbin, Ye-Jin, and Chaerin.
Condition of injury unknown?
When Ryujin saw these words, his brows furrowed further and his expression turned unusually heavy. Yeji saw this when she walked over, so she immediately asked, "What's wrong? Why don't you look so well?"
Ryujin breathed in sharply and handed the newspaper to Yeji. "Look. I'm afraid Master and Missus..."
Yeji took it with a puzzled expression. She flipped through them, and after a while, she turned solemn too.
"Chaerin? This woman is a lunatic!" Yeji cursed softly as concern colored her eyes. "With this, what about Bro and Sis-in-law?"
"I'll survey the situation first," said Ryujin before making a call. The other person quickly picked up.
"Ah Pao, find out more about the situation of the fashion show incident involving Mayor Kim and Teacher Son, and immediately send me the address where Teacher Son is hospitalized. Hurry! Try your best to suppress the news!"
"Yes, Bro Mo!" The person on the other end of the phone answered, then rushed to hang up.
"What do we do? This happened at such a pivotal time. I wonder how Teacher Son is right now. Sis-in-law must be very anxious."
"Don't be worried first. We'll see what Ah Bao can find out," Ryujin consoled, then he turned to look at the newspaper beside him again. After a while, he sighed, "I'm afraid this time it'll be a little more troublesome."
"What's wrong?"
Yeji was obviously unclear about all these things. She only knew that Hyunbin and Ye-Jin were Jennie's parents. She felt that Ye-Jin's identity was extraordinary. Having met her a few times, she quite liked her aura. The last time when she went to look for Chittip, she coincidentally saw her at the spa with Chittip.
"The grudges and grievances between the three of them aren't simple. Things at the Kim family's end is quite complicated too. You should know Krystal, don't you? This woman is rather complicated. She's taken advantage of Missus many times. It was only recently that Master managed to suppress all of it. Chaerin is Krystal's mother. The mother and daughter... Sigh!"
Ryujin suddenly did not know how to continue, so he could only groan.
Yeji fell silent too. The two of them did not speak but after a few moments, Ryujin's phone suddenly chimed with an address sent by Ah Bao.
Ryujin took a look at it, then got up and turned to Yeji. "I'm going out for a bit Stay at home and rest."
"How are you going to go out like this?" Yeji frowned and looked at Ryujin.
"It's fine. There are some things that I need to handle by myself to feel assured. I won't rush into this. When I've understood the whole situation, I'll let Master know," said Ryujin.
Lisa probably had not found out about the news. Otherwise, he would have made a move by now.
Before Yeji could answer, he made his way out.
...
The Kim family, including Krystal and the rest, had also seen the news.
The phone had just rung when Krystal immediately asked anxiously, "How is it? Did you find out anything?" The person who was calling was Kai's assistant, Secretary Wang. Krystal had ordered him to help find out about Ye-Jin's condition.
"Mayor Kim put a complete lockdown on the news. For now, I haven't been able to find out about anything, but by the looks of it, it's probably not very optimistic," Secretary Wang reported.
"What about Kai? What did he say? Can he...?" Krystal probed, yet before she could finish, Secretary Wang had already spoken, "Ms. Krystal, CEO Han didn't say anything. Instead, he'd like to sign the divorce papers as soon as possible. Otherwise..."
"Let him tell me this himself." When she heard the final words, Krystal's expression immediately turned cold and she just hung up.
She had just hung up when Sun Yeong immediately asked with concern from the side, "What is it? Xin Er?"
Krystal then turned around to look at Sun Yeong. Her gaze shifted, and it fell onto Chaerin who remained silent without a word. When she saw her dazed expression, she hesitated and shook her head. "Father did a complete lockdown on all information. We still don't know what the situation is. Secretary Wang says it doesn't look very optimistic."
It was a pretty high staircase, and she had fallen like that.
"Good if she's dead! B*tch, it serves you right!"
As Krystal finished, Chaerin immediately laughed coldly. "Does Ye-Jin have the right to laugh at me too? I'm Hyunbin's actual wife. What was Ye-Jin? She's just a woman that's fallen from that position. How capable did she think she was? I'll never lose to Ye-Jin, ever! Just watch how I stomp her to death!"
When Chaerin spat these out, Sun Yeong was startled. Then, she frowned and looked at Chaerin warningly. "Speak less of such things, Chaerin. You've really gone overboard this time! Don't you know what the consequences will be once this incident gets out? You caused this trouble. Do you think the situation isn't as terrible as it already is? We don't even know what the Han family thinks of us now!"
Sun Yeong looked at Chaerin sourly. "I know that you've been wronged all these years, and you've put in so much effort for this household. I take all of this into consideration, but every time when Ye-Jin's mentioned, you turn extremely irrational. How did you step over her all those years ago? Can't you have the tiniest bit of backbone?"
Sun Yeong had been physically and mentally exhausted by all the incidents recently. Now, she felt a headache as she spoke about all of this. Her heart tightened so much that it was hard to breathe.
"Grandmother, you can't blame Mother about this incident too. The situation then... Aunty Ye and Naeyon didn't leave any dignity for Mother at all! They intentionally provoked her. Besides, Mother didn't do it intentionally. Who would've thought that Father would be there too?" Krystal pointed out in a rather far-fetched manner before she sighed to herself.
Recently, they seemed to be having bad luck. Unfortunate bouts of events happened one after another while Jennie was flushed with success on her end. Now that Ye-Jin had turned out like this, they had finally managed to get back at them. However, she wondered if Chaerin would be implicated.
