Ms Kim Became Glamorous after Engagement AnnulmentWords: 8022

The door of the ward was then shut. However, one could still vaguely hear the conversation inside:

Lisa said, "Dad, Taehyung is—"

"Don't speak his name! How kindly did your mother treat him?

She treated him like he was her own, but how is he any different from Jensu now?

He's holding on so stubbornly to the company and just standing by as your mother dies!"

Julie said, "Don't say that about Taehyung.

He's not doing anything because he knows it's useless even if he lets go of the company. Don't vent your anger on someone else..."

"I know, but I feel so awful when I see him so indifferent!"

Manobal suddenly couldn't hold it in anymore, and he started to sob bitterly.

Taehyung, who was standing outside, could feel their helplessness and anger even through the glass windows.

"Don't you feel bad?" Jensu stood behind him.

"For the sake of a company, are you really going to disregard your aunt's life?"

Their disputes here were too loud, and it had attracted a circle of onlookers.

Taehyung looked down and sent a text message to Lisa on his cell phone, telling her to get ready and that someone would be coming to operate on his aunt in a few days.

After sending the text message, he ignored Jensu and the others' angry castigation and turned to leave calmly.

Nearby.

Jungkook stood there with Yeonjun.

A relative had happened to be hospitalized today, so he had specially come to visit.

However, he didn't expect to encounter such a situation.

Yeonjun said, "The Kims are certainly shameless, but isn't he a little too callous? No wonder he looks so unfeeling."

Jungkook frowned and said, "Check if there's anything that can be done about his aunt's illness."

This wasn't anything hard to find out. By the time they were in the car and on the way back to the hotel, he had already found out everything.

"His condition is indeed hard to operate on. There are only two experts in the Seoul who can do it, but the success rate is only 50%.

Coincidentally, both experts are currently employed in our hospitals."

"..."

Seeing that the icy Jungkook wasn't speaking,

Yeonjun couldn't help but say, "If Miss Kim knows what he's doing, then he'll use this as an opportunity to approach you."

When the car arrived at Hotel Finest, as luck would have it,

Jungkook spotted Taehyung getting off the cab.

Additionally, when he noticed their car, he even stayed where he was and did not enter the hotel.

Was he waiting for them?

Taehyung had indeed spotted them.

He didn't understand what was going on.

He obviously had nothing to do with that four or five-year-old child, but he simply couldn't help but feel uncomfortable the moment he thought of him being abused by his tutors.

They misunderstood and thought that I was pursuing him this morning. If I go over now, I'll really be seen as a stalker

Taehyung lowered his tiger-like eyes slightly.

From the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of Jungkook walking past him, surrounded by bodyguards.

Taehyung suddenly spoke.

He said, "I have something to say, Mr. Jeon."

As expected. Jungkook stopped and looked at him with a deep gaze.

His exquisite features exuded an aggressive air of heroism, and the mole at the corner of his lips gave off a feeling of slight interest.

"What can I do for you, Miss Kim?"

He had already given him a chance, so he would probably start begging him pitifully, right?

In a slightly deep voice, Taehyung asked, "Are your son's tutors professional, Mr. Jeon?"

He had only heard what the tutors said in the elevator, and hadn't seen anything with his own eyes, so he had no way of judging whether or not their words were true.

Thus, he merely gave him a subtle reminder.

Jungkook frowned, however. Why was he keeping quiet about the doctors and talking about the tutors instead?

Was it because he was too embarrassed to ask him about it, so he decided to talk about something else first?

Jungkook was a straightforward man, so he went straight to the point.

He asked, "Do you need me to introduce two doctors to you, Miss Kim? Do you want to speak with Dr. Lane or Dr. Wright?"

Taehyung was confused. Although Dr. Lane and Dr. Wright were the most famous neurosurgeons in the Seoul, the success rate was only 50% if they operated on his aunt.

Why would he go to them? Besides, he was talking about the tutors. Why was he bringing up doctors

Taehyung replied impatiently, "No, I don't. Please show more concern toward your son instead if you're free!"

If the tutors really were abusing him, then the responsibility would lie only on Jungkook.

He must have been neglecting the child.

For some inexplicable reason, he was a little angry, as if it was his son that was being abused instead.

He left immediately after saying that.

Jungkook stared at his from the back with a slightly stunned expression, but he quickly came back to his senses.

Anger welled up in him, and his countenance turned a little colder.

Yeonjun couldn't help but say, "I had thought Miss Kim was so indifferent to his aunt only because he was at his wits' end. I didn't expect that he really was leaving her to die. he's too heartless!"

Without surgery, his aunt was doomed.

However, if she went through with the operation, then she would at least still have a 50% chance of survival.

The choice was obvious. But that man was actually so crazy and heartless, and had rejected his kindness?

Forget it, he would just take it that he had unnecessarily meddled into someone else's business and misjudged him!

Jungkook entered the elevator with a sullen look.

In the top-floor presidential suite.

Cherry stealthily returned to the room. She was just about to enter the study when she turned and saw a stern-faced woman walking toward her with a ruler in her hand.

She said viciously  "How can you bring yourself to loiter about elsewhere when you haven't finished your homework, Jungwoo?

Judging from how stupid and dull you look, you must have taken after your mother! Oh, wait, that isn't quite right because you're a little bastard without a mother. Hold out your hand; I'm going to teach you a good lesson today!"

Cherry was confused. How dare she insult her mother? And, she was even hitting her brother?

The soft little girl immediately transformed into the hot-tempered little girl from her gaming time.

With her hands on her hips, she was about to hurl insults back at the tutor when the door suddenly opened.

She turned to see her handsome father, who had the potential to be bossy, cool, affectionate, or reassuring, striding in.

Cherry immediately forgot what happened just now. Her tiny form leaped forward as if she had wings, but it was at this moment that the tutor caught her by the arm.

Jungkook took off his jacket after entering. As per usual, the first thing he did was to ask how his son was doing.

"How was Jungwoo today?"

The tutor sighed. "He's not doing his homework again. Because he didn't reinforce what he learned, he doesn't understand when we delve into more complicated topics. He's awfully stubborn and refuses to listen to us. As a result, his progress is now lagging behind his cousin's by two semesters' worth of lessons!"

A troubled Jungkook frowned when he heard her report.

Although his son's IQ was excellent, he was introverted and autistic and had trouble expressing himself. He really didn't know how he should communicate with him!

He walked up to Cherry, squatted down to face her, and asked patiently, "Why didn't you do your homework?" Wow, looking at him up close, Daddy looks even more handsome now

Cherry couldn't answer him for a moment there.

Seeing her silent, the tutor secretly scoffed.

He was indeed a dimwit that didn't cry, kick up a fuss, or know how to complain about others. Relieved,

she started to spin more lies. "We're really at our wits' end, Mr. Jeon.

We can't discipline or scold him, so your only option is to employ certain special methods of educating now."

Cherry, who was currently captivated by her father's good looks, thought to herself, What? They couldn't discipline or scold me?
