Inna looked as young as she did four years ago.

Her red cheongsam, exquisite makeup, and polished nails exuded elegant grace.

She still had the air of a rich wife.

However, she was place with shock when Lisa glanced sideways at her.

"Lisa....?"

She looked as if she had seen a ghost.

"Yo. so, you do recognize me" Lisa smiled coldly.

Inna could not help scanning her from head to toe she was actually more beautiful than she was four years ago, even if her face was etched full of misanthropy.

Her strapless gown accentuated her slim but exquisite frame as if she was god's most perfect piece of art.

Moreover, her skin was snow-white and smooth, with her cinnabar lips tightly pursed over her wintry visage. Her eyes, lined exquisitely shone with an icy elegance.

She was a breathtaking beauty.

"Lili! Where have you been these four years!" Inna's face changed at once and approached, putting up the act of a miserable mother who was finally reunited with her long-lost daughter "I miss you so much....It's good that you're back!"

Lisa shook her off and frowned in disgust without giving her any face. "Stay away, and don't touch me!"

Inna teared up at once in grief and complained at Lee Dongwook, "Husband, look at Lisa! It's been four years, and she still hates me to the bone!"

With his wife on one side and his daughter on another, Dongwook was is quiet a predicament, and could only to calm Lisa.

"Lisa, look at you. Don't pull such a long face on a happy day like this....hurry inside Tuyu waiting for you"

Then, as the steward tired to stop Lisa again, Dongwook's voice turned cold at once. "She's my eldest daughter"

The steward quickly bowed. "My apologies"

'wait, when did Lee Dongwook get a second daughter?

****

There were many upper-class people gathered in the hall.

Tzuyu was dressed up like a princess and pacing around while lifting her skirt.

What time was it? Why Jungkook not there yet?

She called him a few times, but could not reach him.

She had a bad feeling about that.

Suddenly, an alluring lady had arrived at the entrance, instantly drawing everyone's eyes.

Envy flashed past Tzuyu's eyes. She would admit that the other woman was more beautiful, but she would soon be the Jeon's young mistress.

With that thought, she proudly held her head high and went to her.

"Sis, you're finally here!"

Tzuyu smiled sweetly, even tugging Lisa's hand intimately.

Everyone else broke off and started to chatter.

"Since when did the Lee family have two daughters?"

"Look like one was disowned four years ago"

"Heard it was for her misdeeds?"

The gossiping overflowed throughout the scene immediately, a noisy hum that left Lisa utterly irritated.

She shook off Tzuyu in utter disgust, who quickly assumed a pitiful air and a wounded look. "Sis, I know Daddy was forced to disown you after you slept with that Old man....but Daddy missed you all along, and we're all still a family!"

Impressive. Asserting her white lotus image with a single line, while also revealing that tidbit about Lisa to everyone else.

The crowd immediately erupted into an uproar.

Most of the men's gaze at Lisa cooled when they heard that she slept with some old man.

Meanwhile, her gaze had become even colder.

So, Tzuyu had not enough of that white lotus act of hers.

'Fine. Since you love acting so much, let's have an act-off'

"How could you say that!" Lisa herself burst into tears at once. "I know you're too lonely and empty that you stole my fiance, sister, even luring him to bed....but I still forgave you in my great tolerance and beauty, even coming to your day! I really wish you happiness with all my heart!"

I wish you a great marriage, be blessed with children and lots of adulterous lovers!

The conversation turned at once then with the spear tip pointed at Tzuyu this time.

The sudden act-off had clearly caught her off guard and dumbstruck.

'What the hell? What fiance?'

"As I've thought, all 'maidens' in the entertainment industry are just appearances"

"Don't say that. She did manage to get to where she is now....thanks to our Young Master Jeon"

"Tsk Tsk, Never thought that Tzuyu's empty inside....sleeping with a brother-in-law huh? How about me?"

The crowd's murmurs left her good image almost collapsing.

Tzuyu was defeated glare at Lisa as if it would kill her. However, no matter how angry or miserable she was, all she could do was hold it in firmly.

In the end, it was her own fault for taking the pure, innocent route.

Lisa simply smiled sweetly at her.

Nevertheless....

Just as she stepped out, Jisoo called her.

"This is bad, Lili"! She screamed as if one fire. "Your son disappeared! He is gone!"

Lisa's breath was caught as all her blood rushed to her head.

"What did you say?"
