Nancy was stunned. A helpless expression appeared on her face as she obediently corrected herself. "Irene."

Jennie saw Nancy's aggrieved look from the corner of her eye and felt a rush of joy.

Damn!

Ha Jiwon could tell that Irene disliked Nancy. Although she didn't know why Irene disliked her own daughter so much, as an elder, she didn't feel it was appropriate for her to ask about matters between juniors.

Moreover, Irene was not Jennie. She was still estranged from the Lee Family.

Since Nancy had already brought up that matter, Ha Jiwon didn't avoid it anymore. She asked Irene, "Irene, can you tell Aunty why you left the convalescent hospital?"

Hearing Ha Jiwon's question, Irene explained. "Actually, when I just woke up, my mind was in a mess and I couldn't differentiate reality from illusion. I didn't even know when I left the convalescent hospital. Only when I recovered fully did I know that my parents are no longer around. In this world, I only have Jennie as my family."

"I see. In that case, how did you survive this period? Where did you live?" Ha Jiwon asked again.

Irene said, "I'm not sure either. I just wandered around in a daze."

Ha Jiwon's heart ached slightly for Irene. She grabbed her hand and looked at her lovingly. "Jennie calls me mother. If you don't mind, you can call me mother too. I will be your family in the future."

Irene knew that Ha Jiwon had never participated in those schemes, but she was not Jennie. She had never been raised by the Lee Family, so she definitely couldn't call Ha Jiwon mother.

Irene pulled her hand back from Ha Jiwon's grip. "My memory is still stuck at the time of the Bijiang City earthquake. To me, my parents have just passed away a few days ago..."

"I am sorry, I am unable to address anyone other than my mother as mother. Madam Ha, please forgive me."

Being rejected by Irene, Ha Jiwon didn't feel embarrassed at all. Instead, her heart ached even more for Irene*. How terrible must Irene feel to be forced to accept the news of her parents' deaths?*

"Call me Auntie Jiwon then."

"Okay."

Auntie Zhang walked over, leaned over to Lee Jung Jae and said, "Sir, the food is ready."

Lee Jung Jae stood up and said to Irene and Jennie, "Let's eat first. We can chat after that."

"Okay."

The meal was rather lively. Auntie Zhang was very meticulous and made light dishes that were suitable for Irene. After the meal, Irene and Jennie arranged to meet Lee Jung Jae in the study to discuss something.

Nancy, Ha Jiwon and her daughter sat on the sofa downstairs. Nancy turned to ask Ha Jiwon, "Mother, don't you think Irene is especially... scary?" Nancy had never seen such a cold glint in anyone's eyes.

Recalling Irene's expression, Ha Jiwon said, "You're exaggerating things. At most, she doesn't like to speak and is a little quiet."

Nancy frowned but didn't say anything.

I just feel that there's something strange about Irene.

In the study.

Lee Jung Jae stared at the cheque on the table, his lips curling into a mocking smile. He looked up at Jennie, as if his heart had been chilled, his expression very malicious. "Just because I objected to your marriage with that Lisa guy and cut off all ties with you, you really want to cut off all ties with my Lee Family?"

Jennie shook her head slightly and said respectfully, "Father, this has nothing to do with my marriage."

Lee Jung Jae knocked on the cheque. "What does this mean?"

"It's like this." Irene, who was sitting on the sofa, spoke slowly. "I was born two minutes before Jennie, so I am her elder sister. An elder sister is like a mother and father. In the past, I was in a coma and Jennie was homeless. Mr. Lee has taken good care of her. I am very grateful."

"But now that I am awake, Jennie is no longer a homeless orphan." Irene sat up straight and looked straight into Lee Jung Jae's eyes. "Wherever I am, it will be Jennie's home."

Glancing at Jennie, who was standing stiffly at the study table, Irene's heart ached as she thought of the hard times Jennie had been through. She glanced at the cheque on the table and said to Lee Jung Jae in a low voice, "Mr. Lee, I am here to fetch Jennie home."

Jennie couldn't resist turning to look at Irene.

She sat there lazily like a small hill, making Jennie feel at ease.

Lee Jung Jae pursed his lips as he gazed wordlessly at Irene, who was sitting on the sofa with a slender figure. Irene looked frail and fragile, but she exuded the aura of a majestic mountain.

Lee Jung Jae suddenly laughed in satisfaction, which attracted the attention of the Kim Sisters.

Lee Jung Jae pointed at Irene. "Irene, if you were a man, you would definitely be the envy of the entire Wangdong City."

Between Jennie and Irene, if Lee Jung Jae had to choose a child to adopt, he would be more willing to adopt Irene. Unlike Jennie, who was beautiful but not smart, Irene was obviously someone with a unique personality. Such a person was unruly and difficult to control, but once controlled, she was a sharp weapon!

What a pity.

Faced with Lee Jung Jae's praise, Irene didn't think much of it. She spoke in her most casual and arrogant tone. "I am a woman and I will still impress them."

Lee Jung Jae was slightly taken aback by her words. His smile widened.

"How charismatic!"

The sisters didn't stay long at the Lee Family residence before bidding Lee Jung Jae farewell.

After they left, Ha Jiwon hurried upstairs to the study to look for Lee Jung Jae. She saw that Lee Jung Jae's expression was slightly dark and couldn't help feeling uneasy. "What did you talk about?"

Lee Jung Jae took out a piece of paper from the drawer and threw it on the table. Ha Jiwon picked it up and saw that it was a cheque with a value of 16 million yuan. She was slightly shocked. "What does this mean?"

Lee Jung Jae put on an enigmatic expression. He stared at the cheque and said mockingly, "All these years, Jennie has been taking note of every single penny we spent on the Kim Sisters."

When Jennie first came to the Lee Family, she used the Lee Family's money for her school fees and living expenses. After that, she started earning her own money and almost never asked Lee Jung Jae for money again.

"What kind of mentality do you think Jennie had back then when she recorded her debts? 16.4 million yuan..." Lee Jung Jae stared at that number and sneered." You really can't get used to such ingrates. "

Ha Jiwon's heart also ached slightly at those words. She doted on Jennie like she was her biological daughter, but Jennie never treated them as real family from the start to the end. If not for the fact that she was already prepared to leave, she wouldn't have recorded the bill.

"So Jenjen has completely cut off all ties with us?" Ha Jiwon looked slightly sad.

Lee Jung Jae remained silent.

Ha Jiwon felt despondent but also felt relieved.

This is good too.
