[2] Mr. Tycoon's Woman || PJ&RP ✔️

Chapter 249: How Was This Possible?

In a house on the outskirts of the city, tucked in a secluded area, a man was holding his long white sleeves while he crushed the ink. It was grounded perfectly on the slab so, when he dipped the calligraphy brush, the ink had a good streak to it. The birds chirped outside and a light breeze wafted in from the gardens, carrying a pleasant floral smell.

The man was in a very good mood today, especially when he discovered that his father was going to have a thorough talk with Elder Park. He did not realize it yesterday, but, as he now sat in a secluded, peaceful area, his brain was finally able to think properly.

Rose Yang was Park Jimin's weakness. His sole weakness, might he add. It would be the lovers' greatest downfall, for it would not take long for Elder Park to be notified of this news. And when it does happen, she will come tumbling down, literally.

Kang Boyuan could not wait for the day she would crash after flying so high. The higher she flew, the harder she would fall. He let out a haughty laughter at the idea.

Elder Park was a merciless man when it came to ensuring that his grandson was the perfect ruler. Anything that could jeopardize Park Jimin's reputation and muddle his brain would be exterminated. To a man as capable and potent as Elder Park, killing Rose Yang would be like squashing a bug. Yang Marco could protest all he wanted, but in the end, he had other favorable grandchildren. Losing one should not hurt that much.

Kang Boyuan was fully aware that his daughter would enter a loveless marriage, but he did not care. As long as she bore the Park family a son and secured her position in the family, a broken heart and eternity of suffering were fine with him.

He smirked at the idea of how useful she would become in the future. He wondered if he should ask Elder Park to pardon Rose Yang from dying, just so he could get his hands on that woman and ruin her further before she died.

The thundering sound of a frantic servant rushing down the hallways could be heard. "M-master Kang..." She squeaked at the door.

Kang Boyuan scowled at her mistake. "Come in."

The servant, no more than the age of eighteen, because Kang Boyuan liked them young, hesitantly stepped into the room. The second she did so, something was hurled at her head. She yelped and dodged the flying jar, dropping to her knees to beg for forgiveness.

"Useless little thing, how dare you run and cause a ruckus?!" Kang Boyuan snarled, standing up.

"T-t-this servant a-apologizes for her mistake..." She cried out, bowing her head to the wooden floor. "But there is urgent news sent from the training center that must be addressed immediately."

"What is it?" Kang Boyuan put down the stick that he was going to beat her with.

"T-t-today's training supplies did not arrive. Also, three of our top instructors handed in their resignation letters this morning!"

Kang Boyuan felt his entire world crash at her words. No, that can't be possible. To lose one instructor without notice is like a starving farmer dropping his sole bag of rice in the sewers. And to lose three at once was like dooming him to hell. There are only five instructors in this place, with two remaining, everything will be chaotic. To add to the problem, without the supplies, this place could not properly function.

Today was evaluation day, where recruiters were coming in to evaluate the students and the training center. It was an important day for them, both in terms of money and reputation.

"What do you mean there are no supplies and instructors?! Order the other servants to go out and buy some now! Who the hell let the instructors resign? Go and have people find them, threaten them to come back and if they do not, tell them the Kang family will not take the matter lightly!"

"Master, we've tried. Many of us went out to buy materials, but all of the closest suppliers said they would not sell to us or take our money, no matter how much we offer them! In regards to the instructors, they disappeared without a trace!"

Kang Boyuan collapsed onto the ground, his face dumbfounded. How was this possible?

Lalisa Park watched as the last drop of IV entered her system. The nurse removed the needle, stuck a bandaid on her hand and placed everything on the metal tray.

"When can I leave this hospital?" She asked Jang Eujin who checked a tablet.

"We need to run a few tests on you to ensure no major internal damage was done. If everything goes smoothly from here, I believe you can be discharged within three days." Usually, patients could leave early, but Jang Eujin knew how protective President Park and Rose Yang was of this woman. She concluded it would be appropriate to have Lalisa Park rest longer, just so she could sooth the worries of the overthinkers.

"That's not fast enough." Lalisa Park's lips dipped into a small, disapproving frown. "Aside from the bruises, nothing is hurting me. I'm a bit sore from lying in bed for so long. I don't think three days is necessary."

"It is. You need to rest, Lisa." Rose Yang interjected.

"I've rested long enough." Lalisa Park stubbornly shook her head. She turned to the nurse and said, "Perform the tests today. I want to leave as early as a few hours or tomorrow morning."

"Why are you in a rush to leave?" Rose Yang worriedly said.

"I want to go to the Underworld to beat some sense into Lee Sung."

"Absolutely not."

"Absolutely not."

Both Park Jimin and Rose Yang said at the same time. They behaved like authoritative and overly-protective parents.

Lalisa Park eyed the two of them. She loved them dearly, but sometimes, she wondered if they viewed her as a sibling and friend or as a child. "With all due respect, I can do whatever I want."

"Sure you can." Park Jimin sarcastically replied, leaning back in his chair and crossing his legs. He slung his arms on the couch, sitting like a lazy and defiant crowned prince.

Park Jimin knew what her brother was implying. With him in control, he could have her tossed out of that place for all he cared. "You do realize, I'm also a Park." She could easily storm into the base and snatch everything. No one could stop her. Only brain dead people would. Everyone knew how loved she was by both the Big Boss and Second-in-Command. No one was willing to go against her in the headquarters.

Park Jimin didn't respond. He slid his arms down a bit to play with Rose Yang's hair, twirling the silky strands in his hands.

Lalisa Park stuck out her tongue at her brother, angry that he didn't reply. He always did this. Refusing to speak to his family, but willingly babbled to Rose Yang. She huffed, crossed her arms, and stubbornly glared at the floor.

Rose Yang was worried for Lalisa Park if she entered the Underworld. She knew, without a doubt, that Lee Sung's brutalized body would not be a pretty sight for the sheltered princess, but a part of her knew it would be better to expose her to the cruel reality sooner or later.
