The Most Loving Marriage In History: Master Manoban's Pampered Wife Book 3

Chapter 403: Passed Away (2)

A comforting smile appeared on Yu-Jin's face when she heard Jennie's words, yet she shook her head. "Lisa and you just got married. Why would I stay with you now? Moreover, there are servants in the Son Residence too. They can take care of me. You guys should focus on what you need to do."

Yu-Jin suddenly extended her arm to Jennie and held her hand.

"Your wedding in June is coming up soon. You guys must be busy preparing for it now. Jennie, I hope you guys can have an unforgettable wedding to fill up the emptiness inside me. Maybe I won't be able to see now, but I'm sure that Lisa won't let you down."

Yu-Jin looked rather melancholy despite her calm appearance. Even her eyes seemed lonely as well.

"Mother, yours and Father's wedding back then..." Jennie pried.

Yu-Jin took a deep breath. She blinked and seemed to be recollecting her memories of the past. After some time, she replied, "Back then, your father and I were in a hurry to marry. The wedding wasn't much. I just put on a veil and married him. We only invited several of our close friends. I was too headstrong back then and only cared about marrying your father. I even tried to break off my relationship with your grandpa... I really..."

"Mother, you were young once! You loved fiercely and courageously. Sometimes, I'm really envious of you. You can do everything for love. I told Lisa that love back then was really much simpler, and a pure form of happiness." Jennie smiled.

"However, it's all in the past now. You have to understand this, Jennie. Promises always sound better when you're in love." Yu-Jin sighed. She had had a taste of it herself, experiencing all kinds of people and matters in life. Who knew what would happen in the end?

No matter how close a relationship was, it could not go up against the fight for benefits, and her love with Hyunbin died for the sake of this said benefit.

"Mother, Lisa told me that Father quit his career and has been busy handling divorce with Chaerin." Jennie was suddenly reminded about this recent development and told Yu-Jin about it, wanting to see her reaction.

Yu-Jin did not say anything, but Jennie could feel her mother's hand freeze up as she was holding it.

After a while, Jennie continued, "If Father can do all of that and come back to you, are you still willing to accept him?"

...

In the hospital corridor, Lisa stood by the railing and looked at the city lights outside.

"What is it?"

Behind him, Haruto nodded. "Master, Elder Kim is in grave condition and might leave us any moment. He's been sent to Townsperson Hospital. I just had a call with Mayor Kim's secretary and found out that Mayor Kim has been taking care of Elder Kim for the past two days. The situation seems dire."

Lisa's face darkened when he heard Haruto's report.

Some time ago when he visited them with Jennie, he still seemed alright even though he was unable to walk very well. It was happening all too soon.

"Do you know the exact condition?" he asked quietly.

"The doctors have already concluded he can't live past this year, and with the conflicts in the Kim family, he's probably been exhausted by it all already. Especially if Chaerin's matter is exposed, we don't know if he can take the impact."

Of course, Lisa was aware of what Haruto just said. He was worried about this and held back his thoughts. He wanted to wait until Hyunbin's divorce before deciding to use this trump card or not.

"Master, on the other hand, Mayor Kim and Chaerin are now officially divorced effectively starting today."

Haruto had gone to the Civil Affairs Bureau to investigate and confirm that Hyunbin and Chaerin were divorced. It seemed like the documents were a big impact on Chaerin!

The Yue family did not interfere throughout the whole process because when Hyunbin received the evidence of Chaerin cheating, the exact same document was delivered to Elder Yue!

The Yue family was not stupid. If this was exposed, not only would the reputation of the Kim family be affected, but the Yue family would also be implicated as well! So, they chose to be quiet and hoped for this to be handled carefully.

A faint light flashed past Lisa's eyes.

Was he free now?

What about Yu-Jin?

Lisa understood Hyunbin's behavior very well. He was trying to escape from this huge vortex of conflicts.

"Mmm, good," Lisa gave a brief reply as he looked at the city lights downward. "How about the thing I asked you to investigate? Are there any results yet?"

"There is, Master! I was just about to tell you." Haruto replied as he handed a document to Lisa. "This is what happened..."

"Sun Yeong and Chaerin's mother are best friends. Chaerin fell in love with Mayor Kim, but Mayor Kim was madly in love with Teacher Son. In order to force Teacher Son away, they... When that happened, Elder Kim was aware of what was happening, but it was during the time of his potential promotion, and the person above him was Elder Yue, so..." Haruto sighed before Lisa took the document from him and looked through it.

"Elder Kim would probably never know the amount of trouble it brought Mayor Kim. Mayor Kim isn't Sun Yeong's child, and in the Kim family, Sun Yeong wasn't as powerful as she is now since Elder Kim was still above her. Coincidentally, because of her fault, Yueying faced a crisis, so in order to gain power, she... took photos of Mayor Kim and Chaerin when they were in the act. It seems like Chaerin herself was unaware. It must be a way to guard against Chaerin and the Yue family. This old lady really cunning!" Haruto frowned as he spoke.

"So, I'm sure Mayor Kim succumbed to the pressure all these years. With the Yue family backing him up, Yueying was able to get through the crisis and went on to be successful."
