Chap532-Replacing Anne Park with AP means that it no longer exists?

As Park Jimin spoke, the anger in his expression was more distinct than it had ever been. Anyone could see that he had been provoked.

Hearing these words, Roseanne immediately tried to move her hand back when she felt an aching pain around her wrist. She turned to look at the man who had already tugged her hand back and met his ink-black eyes.

A distant, burning fire could now be seen in his typically deep and indifferent eyes. As he watched her, it felt as though his gaze would burn her alive. His body was tight with tension, revealing his current rage and tolerance.

Roseanne had never seen Park Jimin openly mad; it was also rare for him to become angered.

She felt that he had never shown such a targetted rage before.

Her heart shrunk slightly, but she knitted her brows. "Pain..."

Park Jimin watched as she frowned and sensed that he had applied too much force earlier. He released her wrist, but remained unbelievably expressionless, cold, and heavy, as though frost was about to form on every surface.

Mr. Vinse wasn't feeling too well today and his senses weren't as sharp. When Roseanne spoke the word 'pain,' he finally turned to glance toward her other side.

The men finally exchanged gazes; one was slightly startled, while the other was cold, noble, and indifferent.

Unspoken thoughts were darkly exchanged through their eyes.

Earlier, Roseanne had only been chatting to Mr. Vinse. He was feeling unwell, and his voice was softer and heavier. She had leaned in close so that she would be able to hear him well. Furthermore, they had been discussing proper business and were studying the building models displayed before them. Although she was somewhat aware of the hand on top of hers, she could feel his fever through the skin contact and hesitate due to the heat emitting from his palms. She did not move her hand away.

It was but a minute of skin contact. Who would have thought that Park Jimin, who typically concealed his emotions, would become clearly enraged.

"CEO Park?" Mr. Vinse first spoke up. He saw that this man had sat down by Roseanne's side at some point and seemed to understand something. However, Roseanne's earlier concern caused the feelings he had almost given up on to rush back up. He suddenly had the thought to go down fighting. Even if his opponent was Park Jimin, he no longer planned on giving up easily.

Thus, although Mr. Vinse's voice was polite, they were filled with emotions that only Park Jimin could understand.

Right now, with one glance, it was clear that Roseanne and Park Jimin's relationship had yet to be fully repaired. He wouldn't bring up Paarc Hannam, but since Roseanne had yet to remarry him, nor did she return to being with him, it meant that he still had an opportunity.

Park Jimin did not speak. He did not offer him a single response. Instead, he gave him an indifferent look.

The two men sat by her sides; their figures were the definition of perfection. They were also both dressed in well-picked, costly, formal attire. Furthermore, both had chosen to wear black.

Although Mr. Vinse's background was slightly simpler, and his position as BGY Group's general manager could not be compared to the position of Park Group's international CEO, but in all other aspects, he excelled wonderfully. In front of Park Jimin, he did not show any flaws.

The two men both had noble, cold auras.

More importantly, one sat on her left while the other sat on her right, placing her right between them.

Strangely, Roseanne felt that her current position was about to become worst than a duel to the death.

For the past few years, her interactions with Mr. Vinse were never forced. Instead, they felt very natural. Since her return to the country, the only person she frequently met up with was Mr. Vinse. However, through Park Jimin's eyes, these interactions were not as simple.

Park Jimin calmly shifted his gaze away. Coincidentally, the speaker on stage announced that the exhibition had come to an end. He held Roseanne's hand and stood up to leave.

As Roseanne had no choice but to stand up with him, Mr. Vinse spoke, as though he was smiling imperceptibly, "Park Group's headquarter is still located in Los Angeles. For the past few years, CEO Park has rarely returned to the country. However, your current visit seems to have lasted much longer. Does this mean... the company's headquarter is moving back to the country?"

Park Jimin immediately paused in his footsteps, calmly replying, "Anne Park Group has already relocated. If Park Group wishes to move back, what's so difficult about that?"

Roseanne: "..."

Anne Park Group?

She had clearly renamed it to AP Group... yet he insisted on using the words 'Anne Park'.

Mr. Vinse first glanced at Roseanne from the side. He noticed that Roseanne's lips were pursed, and she clearly did not plan on cooperating with Park Jimin. Mr. Vinse's lips curved into a mocking smile. "Anne Park? Back when she was registering the company name in London, I recall her mentor telling her that she could use the original name. However, she insisted on changing it to AP. She had even planned on using other alphabets, but because it was easy to remember, she stuck with AP. And so, Anne Park is no longer related to those two letters."

Roseanne: "..."

She had thought that Mr. Vinse had stayed away from Seoul because of her relationship with Park Jimin. However, from the way things currently appeared, it seemed like that wasn't the case.

From his tone, it was clear he was targetting Park Jimin, and that he had no intentions of being suppressed by Park Jimin's power.

Roseanne keenly noticed the scent of invisible gunpowder in the air.

Park Jimin shifted his hand to hold her waist directly and tighten his grip without a change in expression. He was unperturbed, and sneered to answer, "Did you think that replacing Anne Park with AP means that it no longer exists? A few months ago, she had two separate interviews; one with the London media and one with the local media. At the time, she was asked about the meaning behind AP. She had answered, on two separate occasions, that it was to represent her original studio's name, but for the sake of suiting the global audience, she had replaced it with two letters instead. Are her words more reliable, or do you think your words are worth my time? Or perhaps, were you only able to seek comfort in those words?"

Mr. Vinse's expression changed slightly as it turned heavy.

Park Jimin held her to leave. This time, Mr. Vinse did not speak up further. Roseanne originally wanted to say something for Mr. Vinse, but when she considered the power imbalance between them, she felt that nothing she said would be able to help him.

Before stepping out of Mr. Vinse's line of sight, she silently turned back and pointed at her own stomach, reminding him to visit a hospital.

Park Jimin saw that she had actually turned back to exchange looks with Vinse, and immediately released her the moment they stepped out of the exhibition hall. He kept silent and did not look at her again, much less lower his head to whisper affectionately to her.

Roseanne glanced at Park Jimin's back view and quickly followed him. She found that his jaw was especially tight, and he appeared especially cold.
