Married at first sight [Liskook]

24.[Dejected]

Several cars drove along and quickly pulled up in front of Lisa's bookshop. Lisa and Rosé, who had just entered the shop, looked at the fleet of cars. Lisa's face fell when her keen eye caught the cars belonging to her cousins.

These people were relentless.

With Mike leading the younger pack, they walked into the shop.

They came bearing two baskets of fruits each. "Lisa."

With a smile on his face, Mike put his baskets of fruits on the cash register and said to Lisa, "I bought you and your sister some fresh fruits."

Spotting Sonny, he asked, "Is this your sister's son? He looks like your sister."

He then reached out to stroke Sonny's head, but Sonny shied away, refusing to let the man touch him. Mike responded with a grin, "Don't be scared, little guy. I'm your uncle."

The rest wanted to place the other fruit baskets on the cash register but since there was no more room on the counter, they placed them on the floor instead.

Lisa asked faintly, "What brings you here? I'd advise you to give up if you're trying to make me pay."

"Aren't you going to invite us to have a seat, Lisa?"

Jun-Ho kept a smile on his arrogant face. Out of all his cousins and brothers, he was most successful as his annual salary was more than a million bucks. This was what he took pride in. He barely looked straight at Lisa when he came to look for her the first time.

He had been suspended from work for a while now. There was no telling when he could return to work. There was still a possibility that he might lose his job.

His brothers, cousins, uncles, and parents had also hit a low point in their careers and businesses. They would be screwed if their savings were not keeping them afloat.

They would not be able to hold out for long.

If Lisa and Jisoo refused to reconcile, their hard-earned family assets that had been around for two generations would be lost.

His youngest cousin, Noah, was still detained in prison. They tried to bail him out, but no amount of money could persuade the authorities to let Noah go.

It must be the doing of the force behind Lisa.

After much discussion among the Manobans, they decided to make nice with Lisa and Jisoo while figuring out the identity of Lisa's ally so they could undermine Lisa's bond with her ally. Once that was done, they could get even with Lisa and then some!

Lisa said callously, "I don't have that many chairs in the shop. You can sit on the floor if you don't mind."

Ignoring the stiffened smiles across her cousins' faces, she added, "The floor isn't dirty. I'd usually mop once a week."

The Manoban boys were speechless.

Rosé sniggered.

Truth be told, they mopped the floor every day, especially with Sonny around now. Sonny was a kid, and he often enjoyed playing with his toys on the floor. That was why the floor was kept clean.

Swallowing his anger, Mike curled his lips and replied, "We're here today to apologize to you and your sister. Is your sister here?"

"My sister isn't around. You can just tell me what you have to say."

Lisa glanced at the fruit baskets before putting on a fake smile.

"Is this your apology? So, a few fruit baskets to make up for the slander on Twitter and the damage you've done to me and my sister?"
