After reading it once more, she deleted the message.

She saw that more and more students were gathering to ‘admire’ her. Lisa did not wish to be watched like a zoo animal and decided to leave the classroom. She returned to her dormitory.

At the same time, in Yu Ting Villa’s study, Zhao Cheng completed his investigation at the fastest possible speed.

He was currently reporting his findings to Jungkook. “Young Master, this subordinate has already investigated the truth. The nurse who made the post criticising Miss Lee is named Yang Fen. She is indeed working at XX Hospital, where Lee Lilan is being hospitalised. She owed a sum of debt worth several hundred thousand dollars and was struggling to pay it off. However, thirty thousand dollars suddenly appeared in her account. The same sum also disappeared from Lee Lilan’s company account. She must be paying Yang Fen in installments. If you give this subordinate a little more time, I will be able to prove that Yang Fen was bribed to intentionally slander Miss Lee. If we request Miss Lee to come up with a suitable excuse for her absence from the hospital, this matter should die off well.”

Jungkook’s expression was heavy. Before he could express his thoughts, his phone rang.

It was a call from Lisa. He answered it almost immediately. “Lisa, are you alright?”

He was worried that she would not be able to endure the public’s scorn.

Lisa’s tone was carefree, as though she did not mind anything. “Jungkook, are you worried about me? I’m doing very well.”

His furrowed brows eased slightly.

“Were you the one who deleted the posts and stopped the topic from trending?” She asked him.

“Yes.” He softly responded.

“Thank you.” Her tone was sincere and grateful.

‘Your business is my business’. He was not good at expressing himself. Although he felt this way internally, he remained silent.

“Jungkook, could you not interfere with this matter anymore? Don’t take down the remaining posts criticising me.” Her tone was slightly pleading.

His brows instantly furrowed again and his tone subconsciously turned cold. “You don’t wish to owe me?”

“I don’t see you as an outsider.” She murmured softly on the other end. “I wish to grow on my own.”

Upon hearing this, his frown deepened. She was his fiancée. There was no need for her to weather any storm. He would protect her for the rest of her life!

However, if one day, something happened…

It was better if she grew stronger.

Thus, he gave in. He felt that if things failed to be resolved, he would then step forward once more.

Zhao Cheng watched as he ended the call before asking him. “Young Master, do you still need this subordinate to handle Miss Lee’s matter?”

“Let it be for the moment.”

“Additionally, this subordinate has found someone testing your attitude towards this matter.”

Jungkook murmured to himself softly, before his gaze turned heavy. “Let them assume that I’m not interested in interfering.”

“Understood.”

In Jing Hua University’s D1 dormitory building, Lisa received another strange message after ending her call with Jungkook.

[Fattie, the Jeon family’s grand door isn’t that easy to step through. You have to watch your words and actions carefully. Have you considered making a different choice?]

It was sent from an unsaved number.

Strictly speaking, this was the second time that she was receiving a message from this number.

Countless people used to call her ‘Fattie’. But now that she had lost weight, only Jaehyun, the bastard, continued lying with his eyes wide open.

She scrolled back to the previous message.

[Rather than being Jeon Jungkook’s third party… why not become this young master’s… first party.]

It couldn’t actually be Jaehyun, could it?

Lisa thought about it. Earlier in the classroom, she had caught him peeking at Tzuyu with real emotions in his eyes.
