𝑱𝒆𝒏𝒏𝒊𝒆'𝒔 𝑷𝒆𝒓𝒔𝒑𝒆𝒄𝒕𝒊𝒗𝒆:

Last night, I went to Uncle Bae's house for dinner, and I learned something that shook me to my core. My dad and Mr. Bae were best friends, but the most shocking news is that I'm a trillionaire. Half of the Bae Group belongs to me. I now have enough money to do anything I want.

But despite all that, I'm not happy. I really miss my parents.

I haven't told anyone yet about this sudden wealth. Before anything, I need to find Lili-I mean Lisa. I can't let Mingyu harm my baby. I will make sure that Mingyu and his father pay for everything they've done, and they'll regret it for the rest of their lives.

With the help of Mr. Bae and Rene, I've hired more than 500 private investigators to search for Lisa. I just hope I can find her soon.

I'm driving to Bae Group right now, feeling the weight of everything that's changed. Starting today, I'll begin my training-because half of Bae Group is mine. It still feels surreal, knowing that I hold so much power. Last night, Uncle Bae told me it's time to embrace my position, to step into the world my father once believed in.

But it's not just about power or money for me. I need to prove myself, not just to others but to the memory of my parents. This isn't just about business-it's about protecting the legacy Dad built, and more importantly, finding Lisa. I can't rest until I know she's safe from Mingyu and his twisted family.

Today is just the first step. Dad would've wanted me to rise to this moment, and I won't let him down.

As I stepped out of my car in front of the massive Bae Group building, the reality of my new life hit me like a wave. This was it-the moment where everything would change. My jacket felt a little tighter as I adjusted it, nerves swirling inside me, but I kept my chin up. Today, I wasn't just Jennie. I was stepping into my father's legacy.

The large glass doors slid open, and immediately, I noticed the crowd gathered inside-Mr. Bae, Irene, and employees lined up, all eyes on me. I could feel the weight of their stares, curious, confused, and maybe even a little intimidated.

Irene was the first to greet me, her face warm and inviting as she handed me a beautiful bouquet of fresh flowers.

"Welcome, Jennie," she said, her voice soft but filled with meaning.

"Thank you, Irene." I smiled, though my heart was racing.

Mr. Bae stood tall beside her, a proud look in his eyes as he placed a hand on my shoulder. "Jennie, your father would be so proud of you today. Welcome to your rightful place."

I nodded, taking a deep breath, steadying myself. "Thank you, uncle," I whispered, my throat tightening. This moment was bigger than I ever imagined. But I couldn't lose focus now.

As we began walking towards the elevators, I couldn't help but overhear the faint whispers behind me from the employees.

"Who is she? I've never seen Mr. Bae personally greet anyone like this before."

"She must be important. Look at the way Irene's smiling at her. And those flowers..."

"Maybe she's some VIP from another company? But why all this attention?"

One of the girls whispered a little too loudly, "She's really handsome though. Do you think she's an investor or something? No way she's just a visitor."

"I don't know, but whatever's going on, it's huge. Have you ever seen the boss this formal?"

Another girl chimed in, "I don't care who she is... she's hot. Think she's single?" There was a slight giggle from her group.
