"That's not necessary." Lisa refused as soon as Sehun offered to help.
"There's no shame in asking. If you let the incident play out on its own, you will be harmed much more than them. Even if you decide to be unresponsive, they won't stop until they get what they want. They will keep trying to smoke you out. Instead of being so passive, we can work together and get rid of them."
"Mr. Oh is not dead yet, so no need to try to get ahead and start fantasizing," Lisa coldly reminded him.
"I know. This has nothing to do with Dad. Right now, he won't come out directly to deal with this and will only watch in the dark. I'm guessing this incident wasn't thought out by Sooyoung. Based on how brainless this incident is, it was probably done by Nancy."
Lisa thought so too, but she replied with silence.
Based on how the conversation between Nancy and her went down during the day at the hospital, Nancy would have the biggest motive.
By going public with such a scandal, it would bring a lot of hardship onto Lisa's daily life. They were also using the power of the negative press to force Lisa to make a decision.
She could either go back to the Oh family and accept her identity...
Or leave the Oh family, and never go back.
Initially, it was easy for her to choose. But now, Mr. Oh was rumored to be gravely sick. People would label her as an ungrateful and vicious daughter if she ruthlessly refused to go back.
Lisa knew that this was a trap. The road ahead would be difficult regardless of what she chose to do.
Not to mention, she was powerless compared to Nancy and her family. She had no resources or networks.
Unless Jungkook would make his move...
But she really didn't want Jungkook's help. She had always considered herself to be strong and self-sufficient, and she couldn't possibly always live in the safe bubble that Jungkook provided for her.
"No good will come out of it for Nancy. I'm not that weak, and I won't give up easily. It's too early for them to think they've won. I still have undealt cards."
"Nice. That's very brave of you. There's no comparison between you and Nancy. If we're speaking of pure intelligence, just based on weight, your brain would be heavier than hers by three pounds. However, this incident has brought on a lot of trouble for you. Just like last time, you will be living under the scrutiny of the public eye even though you are not a public figure, which is completely unfair to you."
In reality, Sehun felt a little sorry for Lisa, for he knew that she didn't live much of a good life all these years.
He had always wanted to help her, but she would always push him away.
"Fair? Young Master Oh, do you know how hilarious you sound for saying that? There's no such thing as fairness in this world. Nancy is also an illegitimate child, the same as me - born from a mistress. Yet, she lives a life of abundance as if she deserves it, and me? I've lived with nothing all these years, nothing except for ridicule and abuse. So, where is the fairness you are speaking of?"
"If that's the case, you should take revenge. Give the people that started this a taste of their own medicine."
"I'm not interested in revenge, but I will teach Nancy a lesson or two for sure. However, I won't cooperate with you. I've said it once and I'll say it again, I won't be involved in your family feud, so don't try to recruit me."
"I've said nothing of it so far, so you don't need to worry," Sehun chuckled. He found it interesting that Lisa could be so silly and cute at the same time.
