Meanwhile, in South Korea.

"Madam, it's not that I don't want to help you, but you've been here too many times before. With your extent of scarring, it's impossible for us to help you recover. Even if we can help you, there is no way to get you looking like you used to," the hospital staff said in perfect English. "We suggest you search for another hospital."

The old lady put on her face mask in disappointment. Although she had already gotten used to it after so many years, she had never been so desperate.

If she couldn't recover her original appearance, she would never be able to reveal herself in the open. In other words, she would be an embarrassment to Lisa.

She didn't want to put up with the judgment of others, nor did she want Lisa and Jennie to suffer this fate.

More importantly, if she was to step out in her current state, she wouldn't be able to go up against Hyun-joo.

So, she insisted on maintaining her trust in medicine. She believed that science would continue to improve. The only problem was, after so many years, the scars on her face had already become permanent and was impossible to heal.

If this was the case, what was Lisa and Jennie to do when they faced problems in the future?

When necessary...it seemed her only hope would be DNA.

...

In the end, not only did Hyun-joo's revelations not hurt Jennie, it dug her grave deeper. The public deemed her as the perfect example of a 'malicious mother-in-law', because her actions were enough to attract the disgust of tens of thousands of young people.

Late into the night, inside a seaside villa at Hyatt Regency. Hyun-joo saw the scolding and attacks online. She did not have the tolerance that those in entertainment had, so she was boiling in anger as she threw her phone to one side.

"My dear wife, be careful not to hurt your body with anger," Father Manoban comforted, "I'll get Lisa to deal with this issue."

"Deal with it? Right now, in his eyes, compared to Jennie, do we still hold any importance?" Hyun-joo asked. "Look at this child, we've treated him well since he was small. Yet, he is willing to let the entire nation scold his mother because of a mere woman. What type of son have I given birth to?"

"Why don't we return to the US?" Father Manoban suggested.

"Return? You can tolerate this, but I can't." Hyun-joo rejected. "How did I give birth to a son that doesn't acknowledge his family?"

"Do you still have the intention to go up against Jennie? Forget it. It doesn't suit your identity! Plus, she's already married to your son..."

"It's none of your business!" Hyun-joo grunted.

In reality, Jennie had already experienced all forms of schemes within the industry. So, no matter what Hyun-joo was to throw at her, she would not fear it.

Compared to all the calculations and plotting, Jennie preferred to spend time practicing her script. After all, the further she read into 'Concubine Ning', the more interesting it became.

She originally thought that it was a typical story about a concubine that caused chaos in the kingdom, but...the surprising thing was the various reversals and and ever-thickening plot. Concubine Ning did every single bad thing possible in the world, until she was finally arrested by a righteous warrior and forced to be beheaded in front of the entire kingdom. However...

...the person killed was actually Concubine Ning's older sister. So, the real Concubine Ning escaped death and continued to exist, making an appearance during the emperor's morning court the next day.
