While Jennie and Lisa were busy attending events everyday in the Sommet International Film Festival, Donghwi was trying to make trouble for Hoyeon back in the countey regarding the custody battle between them for their son, Little Jun.

Fortunately, Attorney Hong Shao had already predicted Donghwi's reaction. He was prepared and managed to deflect the official complaint filed by Donghwi's lawyer.

Hong Shao was Jennie's lawyer who she lent to Hoyeon for the custody battle. He was also being assisted by Lisa's lawyer in secret. With the two of these skilled lawyers working in tandem, Donghwi's lawyer couldn't act as aggressive as he wanted.

Donghwi was hoping to force Hoyeon to immediately bring Little Jun home from France. He accused Hoyeon of hiding their son away from him. He was afraid that she wouldn't return Little Jun anymore.

At first, Hoyeon panicked after learning that Donghwi's lawyer filed an official complaint against her. Fortunately, Jennie and the others reassured her. Hoyeon could only trust Attorney Hong Shao and Lisa's lawyer to defend her rights as Little Jun's mother against Donghwi's repeated attempts of bullying.

She calmed down but a certain old man was angered.

Grandpa became furious when he learned about the custody battle. He loved Little Jun who he considered as his first great-grandbaby.

He actually called his own lawyer and friend who previously held a seat at the International Court of Justice before semi-retiring as a private lawyer to select VIP clients like Grandpa. In the next few days, his impressive lawyer would be taking over the custody battle. Hong Shao and Lisa's lawyer would become the assistants instead.

Hoyeon actually felt a little sorry for Donghwi after discovering what Grandpa did. Although the custody battle was of the utmost importance to her, to the eyes of other people, it was just a simple case.

Was there a need to appoint three of the country's most talented lawyers for a custody case? It was, simply speaking, an overkill. Jennie, Lisa and Grandpa figuratively sent a nuclear missile each to crack a measly peanut.

After the initial pity for Donghwi, however, Hoyeon hardened her heart. He was clearly making trouble for her. If she continued to allow her previous feelings for him to cloud her judgment, he would always be successful in hurting her. She didn't want to be weak anymore. She wanted to be like the mother and daughter, Chaerin and Jennie—both very strong and confident women.

Although it was difficult, Hoyeon was able to grow her confidence level slowly but surely. Her son, Little Jun, gave her strength everyday. He was her life.

Now that Donghwi had decided to marry another woman, Hoyeon wouldn't allow him to take custody of their son. She heard that his new fiancée came from a family very similar to the Kims. If even the Kims had the capability of bullying her son, how much more the family of Donghwi's new fiancée who was not blood-related?

They would need to kill her first before Hoyeon would allow them to take her son away from her. Over her dead body!

For now, Hoyeon didn't want to think about all of these stressful things. She wanted to enjoy this French vacation together with her son. It was only Jennie and Lisa who were always busy everyday because of the film festival. Jae and Alison were also busy because the two assisted Jennie in preparing for all of the events. They were also the ones updating her social media pages.

As for the rest of them, they could do whatever they wanted. Chaerin was making a lot of new "friends" during this trip. She was invited to all of the exclusive social events. Of course, she would drag Hoyeon, Grandpa and Jiyong with her if they were willing. Hoyeon only went if kids were allowed. She didn't want to leave her son anymore.
