Lisa and Ryujin went upstairs right after they entered Maple Residence. Sis Wang started brewing tea after they went upstairs.

"Let me take this. You can go and rest for now."

When Sis Wang was about to head upstairs with the tea, Jennie stopped her.

"Missus..."

"It's alright. You don't have to wait anymore after 10 p.m. You have an early day tomorrow." Jennie smiled as she took the tray from Sis Wang and went upstairs before she could even give a reply.

Inside the study room, Lisa glanced at the pen inside the box before he handed it to Ryujin. "Such an exquisite gift would surely leave a record. Find out where it's from. I heard from Father that Aunty doesn't like studying. She was quite against cultural classes for a period of time. If she had a choice, she probably wouldn't have wanted Suho to become an academic."

"Do you mean that this might not be a gift from Aunty to Suho, but could be...?" Ryujin's eyes brightened as he said.

"Grandmother mentioned that Aunty treasured this pen a lot, and so did Suho. I don't want to make assumptions though. When can we get the DNA test results?" Lisa looked at Ryujin.

"We've just received the sample and sent it for testing. In order to maintain secrecy, we might need to wait a few days." Ryujin then started thinking again. "Master, I think Mr. Wen might not be Yeji's biological father. After all, Kim Joon is infamous for having multiple mistresses. Didn't Grandmother say that Aunty hated people like him? If it were really Kim Joon, why did he abandon Suho and Yeji? Sehun is his illegitimate son, but he still welcomed him warmly. Moreover, Sehun is very powerful within the family, and he holds an even greater influence than the legitimate son, Jisoo, so I think there's no reason for him to do so," he voiced out his opinion.

He had thought about it a lot but never mentioned these secrets to Yeji at all because he was worried that she might act rashly. Most importantly, he did not want her to feel sad.

"We can't struggle against fate. There's too much that we can't control. How can we know for sure?" Lisa felt it was relatable. He took a pause before he continued, "Aunty is a straightforward person. She's very decisive in her actions."

"If that's the case, Kim Joon has been together with way too many women. There are Lu Xinlan, who is still currently in the hospital, the woman that gave birth to Sehun, as well as his wife Wang Qin. Who knows how many other mistresses he has in secret? How could Aunty...?"

Ryujin could not accept it. He hesitated for a moment before letting out a sigh. "Master, if that's true, then... how could Grandfather, Grandmother, and Yeji accept this? Knowing it might worry them more..." He frowned, feeling extremely worried.

However, Lisa still looked calm. He smiled as he glanced at Ryujin. "This isn't like you, Ryujin."

Startled, doubts surfaced on Ryujin's face as he blushed a little.

Ryujin did not know what to say, so he called out to him, "Master..."

"There are things that we can't escape. We cannot change the facts that have already happened. If that's the truth, unfortunately, we'll still have to accept it. If it's not, then we're lucky."

Lisa straightened his back and grabbed a book from the bookshelf. He took a yellowed photo out from inside, handing it to Ryujin. "Find out the identity of the other two men in this photo. If all else fails, cover Aunty's face and publish this photo in the newspaper. We'll reward anyone that knows anything about them!"

Ryujin took a look at the photo, and he recognized Manoban Zi and Sis Lan, but he had no idea who the men behind them were.

"This is a great move. If this comes out in the newspaper, we might even reveal the relationship between Kim Joon and Lu Xinlan. I doubt they can just sit still!" Ryujin seemed impressed by his strategy.

"I'm heading to New York with Seulgi the day after tomorrow. Please take care of your sister-in-law here. Let her decide on any major company decisions." Lisa closed the book and placed it back.

"Master, how long will you be there this time?"

"It'll take a while. It'll probably be winter when I return. I'm just worried about your sister-in-law. Please have Solar on standby all day during this period of time. Get several other people as well. I'm only bringing Haruto over and Ah Bo is already over there."

"Noted, Master." Ryujin was not worried since Seulgi's people were capable.

"Tell me the results after you receive the DNA report. Don't let anyone know about it. Complete the investigation with haste," Lisa reminded.

Ryujin smiled and looked at him. "Are you in a rush because you found out something? I'm sure your visit this time is not only about the project with Master Mo, is it?"

He had worked by Lisa's side for many years after all, so he could read his mind from time to time.

"There's some news about Sehun over there. I'm going to take a look."

"In New York?"

Lisa nodded. "In New York indeed."

"There is a possibility that he's in New York. Miyeon stayed there for quite a long period of time during her stay there. According to her plan, she should be back in City B in a few days' time. When they return to City Z, then we..."

"Don't let Jennie come into contact with her. She must be plotting something. I'll meet them personally. As for the question of whether Kim Joon is Yeji's biological father, we'll find out after we get our hands on the DNA report. Besides, I think Mr. Wen has more to hide. Kim Joon shouldn't be the mysterious man we saw at Aunty's grave since that person was taller. Nonetheless, you don't have to worry about it now. We'll wait for the report before making any further decision."
