When Haruto said that, Lawyer Wang's expression sank. He hesitated momentarily, and then said regretfully, "I really didn't think that she couldn't make it in the end. I've met Wang Qin. She's a classic iron woman of the business world, but right now, I do find it a pity."
Haruto nodded as he sighed softly. "Now that VP Wang is gone, Kim Group's going to be a mess again. Master's still inside there right now, and I don't know if Master Kim's going to make it. If Kim Joon... Sigh, Lawyer Wang, you must find a way concerning Master's matter. Do your best to get him out. Missus is worried sick now too. Elder CEO and Elder Madam don't know yet. I wonder how's the situation on Chief Zhuang's end now."
Lawyer Wang nodded. "Don't worry. I'll do my best."
"Okay, I'll go do my work now. If there's anything, contact me by phone," Haruto said before he got into the car and left the police station swiftly.
The night that was tossed about by wind and rain was not destined to be peaceful. Jennie rushed back to Glory World while Zhang Lan called everyone to discuss strategies. Jennie joined the discussion too. Afterward, at dawn, they finally came up with the initial steps to handle the situation. Everyone was quite tired after pulling an all-nighter, what more Jennie.
Inside the office of Glory World Corporation's Chairman.
Jennie was sitting on the chair at Lisa's desk with her back to the door. She quietly watched as a clear sky gradually appeared in the window. With her frail figure sheltered by the chair, she seemed even more fragile.
She had been busy the entire night, and now that it was dawn, even though she was exhausted, she did not have the mood to sleep. She closed her eyes, and all she saw was Lisa turning around to leave with the police, Wang Qin at her last breath, and Jisoo on the verge of a breakdown.
An indescribable feeling of gloominess weighed on her chest when she thought about Lisa. Apart from feeling touched, she felt even more heartbroken.
He was always so honorable to her.
She felt deeply sorry for Wang Qin's passing and even pitied Jisoo. Their fates were very similar, but she was a little luckier, but at least, ever since she had Lisa, everything that she had lost, he had slowly found them back for her.
She only hoped that Jisoo could have a better life from now on.
She looked out the window quietly for a long while. The glass of water which she held that was initially warm had become cold when she quietly averted her gaze.
Solar, who had rested in the resting lounge outside, was quite energetic at the moment. When she saw the way Jennie had not slept the whole night, she could not help but worry, so she reminded her, "Director Kim, you should rest. When it's light, you'll have a lot to do. You've got to watch yourself."
"It's fine. I couldn't sleep either. It's fine on my end. You should go home. You can't be of help with the company matters anyway. I don't know how to explain to Moonbyul that I've exhausted you now. Haruto and the rest are here for the matters to come, so it should be fine."
Jennie looked to Solar, paused, and then continued, "I haven't even had the chance to prepare a gift for you and Moonbyul's new marriage."
"Don't worry about that. We're not planning to have a wedding either. Anyway, we'll talk later on. I'll go home now. Let me know if you need anything. I'll be at the flower shop. I usually don't have much work anyway, but I believe that soon, it'll all be okay," Solar said, unsure whether that was comforting or not.
Jennie nodded gladly and moved towards the table before she quickly made a call. "Suzy, organize for a car right away to send Miss Ji home."
...
Not too long after Solar left, the sky began to turn bright.
The incident last night was clearly a very controversial one. Vice President Wang Qin of Kim Group was stabbed and had passed away in the hospital, and the suspect, Glory World's Chairman Lisa, was detained by the police at the moment!
This was shocking news!
With the occasion last night, the whole news spread even faster. The entire country had probably heard of it by now.
It was such a huge matter, so naturally, it could not be hidden from Marco and Zhuang Shurong. Last night, when she was busy working and remembered them, it was already late at night. She thought Marco and Zhuang Shurong must have been asleep, so she did not make the call.
When the phone rang, it was only daybreak.
It was Marco, and Jennie rushed to the old Manoban residence.
At the Manoban residence, Jennie had just walked into the living room when she could faintly feel the stifling atmosphere. Leo's cries could be heard. She looked toward the sound and saw that Marco and the rest were sitting on the sofa in the living room. Hae Sook was coaxing Leo who wept incessantly while Do Kyung was reading the newspaper. Marco and the rest fixed their eyes on the papers too, all their expressions solemn. Chittip was not back from work abroad yet.
"Grandfather, Grandmother, Father! Byulg!"
Jennie quickly walked in.
"Jennie! You're back! What happened to Lis? It's only been a night and such a huge thing has happened. What do they mean? Accidentally injured? Where's Lis right now? What's the deal with all of this?"
The moment she saw Jennie appear, Hae Sook anxiously walked up to her. Manoban Zicheng cried nonstop in her arms as if he could feel the uneasiness in the adults' hearts. His little pair of hands struggled and waved in the air.
"Leo's been crying ever since he woke up this morning. I think he must miss the two of you!"
Jennie quickly took her son from Hae Sook's arms as she softly coaxed him. After a while, the little fellow finally stopped crying.
She held the milk bottle and fed him for a bit before he fell asleep soundly. Then, she handed him to Aunt Fang. On the side, Do Kyung and Marco were looking at Jennie, waiting for her answer.
Jennie roughly explained the whole incident to them, and all of their expressions instantly turned grim. Even Marco, who was usually calm and collected, now looked unusually grave as heaviness gathered in his eyes. His tone was extremely grave with a hint of worry. "Based on what you're saying, someone deliberately framed you two?"
"Glory World's been emerging at a rapid speed in the past few years. It's normal to be attracting trouble. Now that Glory World and Kim Group are collaborating, I'm sure everyone will know how Kim Group's situation is. This person chose Wang Qin of all people. It's just too coincidental!" Do Kyung analyzed calmly.
"Lisa says that he has his own plans. Grandfather, Grandmother, Father, he asks for all of you not to get involved."
