Cho Miyeon...

They were not exactly close. That woman seemed prideful. Yue Hai had told her to befriend this woman, and she tried. Miyeon seemed friendly on the surface, but she did not take Krystal seriously at all.

After several attempts, Krystal gave up trying and would just greet her if she happened to see her in Kim Group.

However, why did Lisa bring this woman's name up now?

Krystal had some questions. After some time, she sniffled as she looked at Lisa. "I do see Manager Cho in Kim Group sometimes, but we don't really talk that much. What do you mean by that?"

Krystal wiped her tears away as she calmed down. At this point, she was willing to do anything in order to see her son and get him back.

After all this time, only she would understand what kind of struggle she had to go through, especially after her conversation with Jennie. While she did not gain so much of an insight, she did feel a twist of regret.

Without appreciation and compassion, she would be the one at a disadvantage in the end.

She could not push all the blame to anyone else since she was responsible for the state she was in today.

"I want you to stay near Miyeon and keep an eye on her. Tell me immediately if anything happens." Lisa was straightforward and told her his intentions. His voice was calm as he lightly rapped the cold railings lightly before him. The clanking gave Krystal the creeps.

She looked at Lisa in confusion. She was not sure what he meant, so she asked, "Chairman Manoban, please explain more!"

Lisa glanced at her disinterestedly. "I'm sure you're at least aware of the competition between Glory World and Kim Group."

"So, you want me to be your spy?" Krystal caught onto the idea in just a moment.

"I'm sure you know what role you're playing in Kim Group since they've spent so much money to get Yueying under their wing," Lisa said. He then peered out at the misty lake. "You're a smart person. Everyone surely thinks you and your sister hate each other after all that's happened, so you are..."

"I'm a valuable chess piece. I understand what you mean, Chairman Manoban. So, you want me to be a spy in Kim Group and keep an eye on Miyeon and the rest?" Krystal grinned as she looked at Lisa. A glimmer flashed in her eyes. "How are you so sure that I'll help you? You're the one that caused me most of my misfortunes, Yueying's downfall, and the destruction of the Kim family. Don't you think that I'd hate you? Why should I become your spy willingly?"

Lisa put on a wry smile. "I can't control what you feel towards me. I can't be sure if you'll help me as well, but I know you're a smart person and you'd know that you don't really have much of a choice. If I can provide you a solution, what kind of answer would you give me?"

Lisa's gaze became sharp, and she was pressured by his glance alone to the point that she felt suffocated.

She definitely needed a chance. No, she needed a solution. She could not afford to lose her child, on whom she had placed all her hopes.

"Don't you want to know who pushed you and framed you?"

Lisa was right on point, rendering Krystal speechless for a moment.

"You found out who it was?" She looked up in shock and stared at him intently.

Lisa was expressionless as he gave Haruto a signal and quickly handed a document folder to her.

"The information in there will answer you. I've told you what I wanted, and you'll be making the decision. I'm sure you know what the correct answer is. Do you really think Kim Group will treat you well? Your father still had an important place in your sister's heart, so you're pretty lucky."

He turned around coldly and walked past her."I'll give you some time to think about it. It'll be a huge gamble for you. I'll send Haruto to see you again."

"Chairman Manoban..."

Lisa had already walked away when Krystal wanted to say something else. In just a moment, he had disappeared amid the misty rain.

On the way back, Haruto observed his Master carefully from the rear-view mirror. He did not understand his Master's behavior. It seemed like he was going to give Krystal a chance. Was he expecting her and Missus to reconcile after what she had done?

Krystal looked much worse than before. She seemed as if she was ten years older, her former bright and attractive image nowhere to be seen. Her experience in the past year had left a huge impact on her.

If Master had these thoughts, how could he be so sure Krystal would help?

Kai was still in San Francisco while the Han family still held considerable power here. They were not particularly concerned about Krystal anymore since their divorce was just a matter of time.

A lot of questions flashed past in Haruto's mind, and he finally asked—
