Since Roseanne had been engrossed in reading the book in her hands, she almost hit her head against the back of the driver's seat when the car suddenly stopped.

"Don't you know how to drive?" Her voice sounded devoid of any emotion but it sent a chill down one's spine.

The driver instantly shivered and informed, "Ma'am, those people suddenly jumped out of nowhere."

Before Roseanne could ask what people, the window on her side was knocked, "Miss Park, please don't hurt our family. Give us a way to live!"

"Chief, let me check," said Lisa as she got out of the car on her own. At first, she didn't recognize this middle-aged lady but when her eyes fell on the two people kneeling on the road, she suddenly had enlightenment. She had been wondering if her boss forgot about these people but it seemed she had been wrong.

Since Roseanne won't dirty her hands, it wasn't like others were not willing to dirty their hands for her.

Following her, Roseanne also disembarked from the car and looked at those people with a calm but impatient gaze.

"Miss Park!" The middle-aged woman tried to rush up to Roseanne but Lisa stood in her way.

"Chief doesn't like people touching her. Keep your distance!" It was a kind reminder but it held a warning undertone. The middle-aged woman with a disorganized look instantly understood and took a step back.

"Miss Park, I'm truly repentant about what transpired to you." She slapped the two people kneeling on the road and added, "This is all their fault. Our family has nothing to do with this. Please let us off! We are already on the verge of bankruptcy. If you continue, we won't even have a roof over our heads."

Roseanne's memory was very good. If Lisa could remember these trivial individuals, how could she not? She bent a little and said, "Oh, isn't this Mr. Lee and his madwoman? What a pleasant surprise! Long time no see!"

Indeed the people kneeling on the road in such a pathetic state were the ones who denigrated her in the café four months ago. And she also knew what took them so long to get here, seeking her forgiveness. How could her Sooya let them come to her before making them taste the utter defeat?

From their condition, it was obvious how much they must have suffered in these four months. But Roseanne neither had sympathy nor empathy. So it was obvious this scene would have no effect on her.

Then she looked at the middle-aged woman and smiled, "And you... Did you just say that I'm the reason behind your hardships?" Even though her voice was still very mellow, it made the middle-aged woman gulp.

The middle-aged woman shook her head and hit the 'madwoman' saying, "You despicable woman! Why are you quiet now?!"

Taking the cue, the madwoman whose attitude was soaring in the sky back then, shuddered like a frail person and crawled up to Roseanne's front, "Miss Park, I'm sorry. I'm really sorry, I misunderstood you. It's all my fault!" She kowtowed so hard that blood could be seen. "Please, forgive me. You're forgiving and magnanimous. Don't do this to us!"

Roseanne leaned against the side of her car and crossed her arms over her chest. "Me? Forgiving and magnanimous? How come I didn't know I had such traits?" She looked at Lisa and asked, "Did you know?"

Lisa shook her head honestly, "I didn't know either."

Mr. Ex-Blind date also joined the love of his love saying, "Miss Park, please let my family off. My parents didn't even know that I'm dating Jiwoo. Please don't punish my parents for my mistakes."

Roseanne looked at him straight and asked, "It's not like I can't let this go..." The three pairs of eyes were eagerly looking at her. "But I wonder what are you all willing to do in return."
