“As your father, I ask you to withdraw from this competition to make up for the damage you caused to Krystal’s reputation, and for everything she suffered!

Jennie, you’ve never been a stable person. You always start something and then quit later. I can continue to support your expenses in the future, but you can’t harass Krystal or destroy her career!”

Ji-yong said in a more serious tone.

Jennie was so angry that she burst into incredulous laughter. Since her own father was treating her like this, what else could she say?

“What if I don’t agree?” Her voice was lazy and distant.

While still staring at his daughter, Ji-yong said, “Miss Karina, please accept that job for Jennie.”

“Don’t worry, Mr. Kim. I’ve already agreed on her behalf.”

Jennie immediately shot her agent a wary look. “What job are you talking about?”

Karina smiled politely. “Jennie, as per Mr. Kim’s wish, you are going to attend to a ribbon-cutting ceremony of a company. However, it clashes with the Orisa International Show. So…”

“What?” Jennie cried. She jerked around to face her father with aggrieved tears in her eyes. “How can you control my life like this? I’m not going to that ribbon-cutting ceremony. I put in so much effort to get that chance. I have to go to the Orisa Show!”

“I’m sorry, Jennie. The Orisa Show committee has confirmed to me that Krystal is on the final list,” Karina said with a shrug. Both Ji-yong and Kai had spoken up for Krystal at the same time. As a powerless agent, she had no choice but to do what they wanted.

Obviously, Krystal hadn’t gotten the chance to stand on the Orissa Show stage through her own efforts. Karina had called the committee and told them that Jennie wouldn’t be able to attend the show as she had other commitments.

As the model in the sixth place, Krystal was naturally called to replace Jennie.

Ji-yong looked at his daughter and said, “If you don’t want to attend that ribbon-cutting ceremony, just come straight home! I won’t allow my daughter to make a fool of herself in public.”

“Dad, calm down. Have a sip of tea,” Krystal said, walking into the room with a cup of tea.

Compared to her, Jennie appeared to be very unfilial.

It was only after seeing Krystal that Ji-yong relaxed. Taking the cup of tea, he told her, “I’ve told Jennie to come home.”

“Jennie, Dad did all this for your own good. You should try to understand him. He has been missing you all these years.” Krystal looked gentle and kind.

However, Jennie stared at the two of them coldly. What a perfect father and daughter! Wasn’t it enough for them to be a family? What was the point of including her in the family?

“I’ll never go back to the Kim family,” she said firmly.

Ji-yong raised his hand angrily to slap his daughter. “You’re so shameless!”

Krystal caught her father’s hand in a hurry and pretended to persuade him. “Dad, Jennie is just a little stubborn. Give her more time. She’ll come around.”

“If she were half as obedient as you, I wouldn’t have to worry so much,” Ji-yong snapped.

“I will persuade Jennie.”
