“However, because these three boys said such outrageous and despicable words, I think they should be severely punished. I want them to formally apologize to my brother and publicly reflect on their actions.” Lisa’s tone changed, her voice suddenly became fierce.

In the end, the incident ended with the three boys apologizing and publicly reflecting on their actions in class on Monday. Just as she was about to take Yeonjun away, Lisa stopped in her tracks and stopped the three boys.

“As Yeonjun’s sister, I have to make things clear to all of you. Firstly, Yeonjun is not an illegitimate child, and it’s not your place to worry about him. Secondly, Yeonjun’s mother and father agreed to a divorce, so the bullshit of being a mistress is just a rumour. Thirdly, our family is rich, and I can afford for Yeonjun to study here. I advise all of you to mind your own business, or else...”

Lisa’s eyes focused, and her tone was unprecedentedly firm and fierce. She said, “You guys will get it from me!”

With that, Lisa left with Yeonjun.

As they walked back to Yeonjun’s dormitory, Yeonjun said in a muffled voice, “Lisa, I didn’t want to trouble you to come to school. You’ve been working so hard.”

Lisa smiled slightly, rubbed his head, and comforted him, “I am your family, and also your backing. I’m very glad to be able to help you. Don’t blame yourself.”

Just as Yeonjun nodded and wanted to say something, Lisa’s phone rang. She looked at the caller, smiled apologetically at her brother, and answered, “Hello? I’ll be back in a while.”

“Yes, are you working overtime? It’s so late.” Jungkook said lightly.

“Yes... I’m working overtime.” Lisa turned to look at Yeonjun and whispered.

“Okay, I’m waiting for you downstairs your office building.” Jungkook raised his head to look at the pitch-black office building, expressionless.

Hearing this, Lisa realized that her lie had been exposed. She was stunned for a moment, then lowered her voice and said, “Jungkook, wait a moment. I’ll call you back.”

Quickly hanging up the phone, Lisa turned to look at Yeonjun who was silently waiting for her. She scratched her head and said, “It’s my husband calling.”

“Did Jungkook urge you to quickly come home for dinner? You two are really close.” Yeonjun also smiled, and his eyes were filled with envy.

Lisa had never mentioned to her mother and brother that she had been forced to marry Jungkook. She was afraid that they would be sad if they knew, so she had always described her marriage with Jungkook as the result of a true love, so she could only smile awkwardly and say, “Yes.”

When they reached the students’ dormitories, it was almost bedtime for the students, so it was very quiet. Lisa stopped in her tracks, she smiled and asked Yeonjun, “Do you still have any living expenses? Do you want me to give you some more?”

Yeonjun shook his head and said sensibly, “I still have a lot. Don’t worry, Lisa. I don’t like to spend money.”

“That’s good.” Lisa was relieved. She waved to Yeonjun and said, “I will be leaving first. Study hard!”

Yeonjun nodded, then watched Lisa turn around and leave in a hurry.

As soon as Lisa turned a corner, she anxiously called Jungkook. “Hello? Jungkook, you should go home.”

Jungkook raised his eyebrows and asked, “What’s wrong? Are you not in the company?”

“Yes, I’m sorry, I lied to you.”

Lisa lowered her head and walked. She unconsciously kicked a small stone on the road and explained, “I’m actually at my brother’s school. I’m helping him with some things...”

Jungkook was still standing where he was. His eyes were dark as he asked, “Oh? Is he the son of your father’s ex-wife? His name is Yeonjun?”

Lisa’s throat tightened. At this point, she remembered that she had to act like she was Eunbi. Her voice was sour as she replied, “Yes.”

“He’s not your biological brother. Why are you handling his matters? Doesn’t he have a biological sister?” The corners of Jungkook’s mouth curled up as he pretended to be confused.

“I happened to be free, so I dropped by.”

“Okay, I’m still outside. I’ll come pick you up. Wait for me at the school gate.” Jungkook did not continue to pressure her, but said in a tone that could not be rejected.

“Okay, then I’ll wait for you.” Then, Lisa walked to the school gate. Looking at the sparsely populated street, she found a conspicuous place to stand.

In less than ten minutes, Lisa noticed a tall figure walking over with big strides at the end of the street, so she hurriedly ran up to meet him.

Jungkook’s expression was as usual. He reached out to hold Lisa’s hand the moment they met, naturally. It was as if he had done this many times.
