As soon as her uncle left the office because he couldn't wait to meet So Hee, Lisa and Jungkook looked at each other. They already knew how Jungkook's father met Lisa's mother. They also now know the meaning of the message Lisa's mother left behind the photo. However, hearing the explanation from her uncle seemed to make this problem even more difficult to understand.

"They said they had a normal wedding ceremony, not in secret, so why did she run away?"

Jungkook momentarily looked doubtful at Lisa's question. It was also something that had been bothering him since earlier. If his mother really wanted to run away, she shouldn't have had such a big wedding ceremony.

Jungkook wrinkled his forehead thinking about this puzzle that he couldn't solve and looked at Lisa. However, Lisa didn't know anything about this either. It seemed like the secret of this problem has yet to fully reveal itself.

"Surely that woman didn't run away because of money...... Your father is a descendant of a wealthy businessman."

"Come to think of it, she doesn't seem to like my father very much."

Even now, many rumors were circulating about the reason for his parents' divorce. He also knew what rumors were circulating creepily by word of mouth.

His father having another woman, his mother wanting to continue acting, differences in character between the two, family opposing their relationship, and so on.

The rumors were really diverse and were constantly being talked about by people at that time. Jungkook now knew where most of the rumors came from.

"Really?"

"I don't know. It doesn't really matter right now. After all, my mother betrayed me anyway."

Jungkook replied angrily. Twelve years. Since then, he has had to struggle to live alone here. He still remembered every cold stare that was directed at him back then.

"Is it true that she received the money?"

"What?"

"Did you check?"

"I don't need to check anymore. Because I've heard it firsthand."

His mother had said it clearly to the lawyer who brought Jungkook back then. That she had received the promised money.

When Jungkook was 12 years old. When Jungkook officially became a member of the Kim family, his mother received a large sum of money from an obvious source. Jungkook still remembered how scared and desperate he was at that time.

"There must be a reason for that."

"You're really innocent. There's only one reason why she accepted the money. Of course it's because of her greed."

Jungkook said sarcastically as if criticizing his mother, but Lisa shook her head slowly.

"No, no. I also accepted your money, but not out of greed. It was because I had no other choice."

"Your situation is different from my mom's."

Jungkook replied quickly, while Lisa just chuckled quietly.

Why  is  this  person  so  stubborn  and  unadvised  like  this?  He's  really  been  living  in misunderstanding all this time, Lisa thought. Surely he will be hurt more for not believing that.

"Of course. Your mom must have felt more pressured. I have to protect my younger siblings, while your mom has to protect her own son. She must have her own reasons."

"Nope."

Jungkook just snorted softly at Lisa's persuasion.

"I don't know why your mom accepted the money, but I think I know one thing."
