Hani’s tone was heavy. “Your grandfather agreed to these terms. Wait until things have calmed down first and it’ll be easier for you as well. Give your villa to her as compensation. Dari is still staying there right now, and your grandfather isn’t going to care about someone like that, so this is what your father and I can do. We invested in Yueying using your name. I hope you can understand us, Hanbin. We’re doing it for your own good as well as for others. Can you understand?”

Hanbin remained silent for a long while, then he put on a bitter smile. “What else can I say now? The two of you have taken all the necessary actions already. I just hope you won’t regret it in the future.”

He knew Luna too well. One compromise would not be enough to make her stop. She would just ask for more and more later on.

Now that he thought about it, every time after he compromised, it just built up the foundation for the next conflict. Unfortunately, he never calmed himself down to think about it properly. When he reflected back on the past now, he felt extreme heartache now.

How could his prideful self accept this pathetic fact?

“Since you guys have done that, don’t intervene between us anymore. I don’t need you two to make decisions for me about every single thing. I’m not against it if both you and Father want to come out of retirement. I’m exhausted and I need some time alone.” He closed his eyes tiredly as he subtly asked her to leave.

“You grandfather hopes that you can come back home. He has something to discuss with you.”

“There’s no need. You two can just do whatever you want. The final decision is not mine to make anyway. My opinion isn’t important.”

“Hanbin...” Hani called out to him when she saw the wornout expression on his face. Hanbin turned his chair around as he pressed a button on the phone and asked Secretary Wang to send his guest out.

After sending Hani off, Secretary Wang asked Hanbin, “CEO Kim, should we investigate Yueying?”

Hanbin pinched the space between his eyebrows as he shook his head. “The Yoo family was just waiting to see what the Han family will do anyway. Grandfather’s actions are just to maintain the family’s reputation. To a certain extent, he was trying to promote the Kim Corporation’s position.”

He somewhat understood what the elder was thinking.

“Ms. Luna really overdid it. She actually used her child to threaten the Kim family to help!” Secretary Wang frowned.

“Maybe this is the real her.” Hanbin smiled bitterly as his tone was filled with sarcasm.

Morning arrived and the sun rose in the east side of the sky.

Jungkook woke up early. Lisa was still asleep after he washed up, but he did not wake her up. Instead, he changed into a clean outfit and brewed himself a pot of tea by the veranda.

“Master, there’s news from Los Angeles!” Lucas came over anxiously while Jungkook stood beside the railing as he looked out at the sunrise with a cup of tea in his hand.

Jungkook paused when he heard Lucas and his eyes brightened as he sipped some tea. Still, his voice was still calm as usual. “What is it?”

“We found something. Master, look! These are the photos they took. See who this looks like!” Lucas quickly handed a document to him.

Jungkook glanced at Lucas before taking the document from him. The document contained records of the recently launched investigations with several photos.
