It was a rainy night.
Lisa organized a luxury car for the mother and daughter to arrive at the hotel.
After shedding herself of the sadness and having Jennie by her side, Hye Kyo appeared a lot brighter than before. A person's presence was determined by what lay beneath the surface. For example, a kind-hearted person would appear calm and unaffected, like a Chrysanthemum flower with exceptional elegance.
The mother and daughter had arrived at a 5 star hotel; a place frequented by celebrities. But, they still attracted everyone's attention.
Hye Kyo was a woman that was brave enough to expose her husband and protect her daughter, so there was an aura glowing from her body that no one could ignore.
"Mom, why don't you just debut as an actress with me? Look at how many people are looking at you," Jennie couldn't help but laugh.
"Have you forgotten how old I am? How could you joke about that?" Hye Kyo couldn't help but smile as she looked around, "Where's Lisa?"
"He has other things to do deal with first. Your son-in-law won't get lost," Jennie finally had her mother by her side so she was happier than usual, "Don't worry, he will arrive later..."
"Stop making him work so hard. Otherwise, the Manoban Family will be heartbroken."
"My heart is already broken," Jennie hooked her arm around her mother's arm and led her to the elevator. Then, with the guidance of the waiter, they headed to the private room they had booked.
"This way please. The other guests have already arrived."
Hye Kyo retrieved her smile and looked ahead with a prepared confidence. Seeing this, Jennie's expression also became serious.
A moment later, the door to the room flew open. The first person to appear in sight was Elder Kim who was sitting at the head of the table. He simply gripped onto his walking stick and rubbed his hand continuously over the smooth ball head. His expression was powerful but not angry.
Next to him sat Joong-ki, leaning back on his chair in a defeated position with a lifeless gaze. It seemed, he still had not recovered from the events earlier that day.
Meanwhile, Nayeon and Taehyung whispered amongst themselves as Nancy glared at the mother and daughter without blinking her eyes. Her gaze was cold and sharp like thorns...
Hye Kyo sneered and sat down with Jennie as she tried her best not to look at her husband.
"Hye Kyo..." Elder Kim cried with a deep aged voice; it sounded empty and distant, like it came from the depths of the valley, "...I never imagined that you had to keep such a big secret for so many years. You have suffered."
"Father...I hope you won't blame me for ruining the Kim Family's reputation. I gave fair warning, but 'someone' did not control themselves, so I had no choice but to do this. After all, no one likes being forced into a dead end..." Hye Kyo replied in a low and firm voice; she knew she had to remain strong to protect Jennie.
Elder Kim nodded his head. After remaining silent for a while, he replied, "Since the whole family is present today, let's sit down and discuss things clearly. We should plan out what to do from now on. Hye Kyo, you are the victim, let me know what you think and I'll try my best to satisfy you..."
"Grandfather..." Nancy cried, "Are you just going to trust that woman?"
"Right now the entire world knows that I am your father's legitimate wife. Why can't you accept the truth? Nancy, I warned you before that I would make you regret."
