When Park Jimin received word that there was a suspicious, yet overpriced car in his private garage at the Park Enterprise, he was surprised. He didn’t expect Rosé Yang's connections to be so tight to the point of where she could buy him a highly sought after car within the span of one hour.

Stepping out of the private elevator, he laughed to himself. It seemed he had truly underestimated his opponent.

He stared at the sleek and beautiful midnight black car that seemed to shine underneath the light. With a 16-cylinder engine, 1,500 horsepower and six exhaust pipes, this was the car of every man’s dream.

The price of this car was worth four times the necklace that he had gifted her. Stepping forward, he ran a hand over the polished metal.

It seemed she had accepted his declaration for war. To be exact, a gift war. He wondered how far she was willing to go in this little game of theirs...

After receiving the car, Park Jimin gifted Rosé Yang a set of matching earrings to go with her sapphire and diamond necklace. The earrings didn’t come in pairs, so he had to spend additional to get the other part of the earring.

When Rosé Yang received the gift, she sent back an entire box of cuff links. Each cuff link was made from the finest quality of materials ranging from meteor rocks to blue diamonds worth a couple million per carat.

And when Park Jimin received her gift, he chuckled and brought her two hundred roses and a whopping four-floor apartment condo that was in an extremely reputable neighborhood that was located very close to his home.

Rosé Yang was pissed at the messy gift which invaded half of her enormous living room. It took at least five cleaners to get rid of all of the roses. Not wanting to waste the beautiful flower that came in a bundle of red, white, yellow, pink, and blue, she gifted it to her team of cleaners.

She was glad her bank account was loaded with the money she made from her investment company and the money she saved up from working as Jeong Jaehyun's double. When she signed his contracts worth millions and sometimes even billions, she had pocketed 15% of the profits without his knowledge.

Yang Marco had advised her to do so. A part of him already expected the outcome of a forced marriage contract like theirs. He had witnessed many messy outbreaks in marriages, but he didn’t expect his granddaughter to suffer the harshest ends of it...

Brushing the thought of money aside, Rosé Yang picked up her phone to buy him a yacht that would rival his gifts.

She made a mental note to begin returning all of his gifts or even reselling it to make more money.

She didn’t like the idea of accepting his expensive gifts and knew he would probably only accept one return.

Rosé Yang knew she could reuse the money for something better than this petty gift-war.

Just when Rosé Yang had sent the gift off to him, she received another text. Her heart dropped to her stomach when she saw the text was from Bang Jina. It was about the time and location of the banquet.

When she saw the names in the group chat, Rosé Yang nearly rolled her eyes. Bang Jina really had the nerves to add Yang Marco into the group! Just how thick was her skin to do something as shameless as that?

The entire Yang and Bang family knew Yang Marco did not care for Yang Yuna. Out of all of his grandchildren, she was the one who cried and screamed the loudest when she saw Yang Marco's scary face.

Growing up pampered, overly loved, and sheltered, it was Yang Yuna's first time seeing a man with a disapproving expression.

Not only that, but Yang Marco was in a particularly bad day and her screams dampened his mood. Ever since them, Yang Yuna was blacklisted as his granddaughter. He refused to put her in his will, and Bang Jina was beyond infuriated when she heard of the news.

But as much as Bang Jina detested the truth, she knew she couldn’t go against his orders.

"She must’ve think her plan was flawless..." Rosé Yang muttered out loud. She knew by sending the text in a group, Yang Marco's would blatantly know Rosé Yang was attending the banquet. This would increase the chances of Yang Marco going as well.

Within seconds of the text, Yang Marco called Rosé Yang.

"Grandfather," She answered on the first ring.

"The banquet is tomorrow night. I hope you have a dress and a date in mind." Yang Marco spoke, forgetting all formalities and going straight to the point.

Rosé Yang's eyes grew wide. The banquet was tomorrow night? She could’ve sworn it was next week! Did she move up the date?

Grinding her teeth, she checked her phone and just as Rosé Yang had expected, the date was moved a week ahead.

She didn’t have time to contact a designer or double check with Lalisa Park that her brother would actually show up. She could’ve sworn Park Daniel was out of the country on an important mission.

Rosé Yang knew she was completely screwed. But she didn’t want her grandfather to worry, so she said, "I’m pretty much all set and ready." She nervously said, tucking a few strands of hair behind her ear. She paced around her heavily rose-scented living room.

"Are you sure?" Yang Marco had heard the uneasiness in her voice.

"Yes, grandfather. Don’t worry too much about the banquet. It’s not good for your high blood pressure." She quickly answered him. He may be stern and strict, but he was getting older. She only came back into the city, from her long two year departure, because she had heard he collapsed due to high-blood pressure.

Rosé Yang thought about what Lalisa Park had told her. "As a matter of fact, I already have a partner. He’s someone from the Park family."

"Which member?" Yang Marco questioned, feeling doubtful of her words. If it was the younger one, he would need to get in touch with him. The younger brother may be outgoing, but Yang Marco knew of his flirtatious and womanizing ways. A man like that better keeps his hands off of his granddaughter.

"The younger one." Rosé Yang bit her bottom lips, unsure of his reaction. She was scared he might be angry at her for choosing someone with a coy reputation, but he surprised her by remaining as calm and collected as usual.

"Is that so..." Yang Marco out out a text to Li Xuan. He was preparing an attention security team in case something happened.

Park Daniel was far too unpredictable. Moreover, he was also worried about Rosé Yang's safety at the banquet. There would be many socialites gathered there and many of them would be Jeong Jaehyun's followers.

"If he doesn’t show up, I want you to call me as soon as possible." Yang Marco's voice remained warm and inviting, but there was a slight edge to it.

Even if the Park family was the most powerful in the country, he would not bat an eye on taking a direct hit at Park Daniel. If they dared to damage his precious granddaughter’s reputation, blood would spill.
