"It's fine, I also have some things I need to talk to her about." Mr. Oh's expression was serious.
Hyunjae glared at Lisa, and then he left the room unwillingly.
Mr. Oh glanced at Lisa and asked, "Did you come to find me because you think that I exposed you?"
Lisa shook her head, "No, I know that it was Nancy and you had nothing to do with it. I just have some things to say."
"Your mother was here this morning as well, it was clear that she was upset because she thought that it was my fault and that I wanted to force you to come back. She spent the morning yelling at me. Her temper hasn't gotten any better, it seems," Mr. Oh recounted the morning's events with a calm demeanor that suited his current age and status. After all, he was a businessman that had been through all sorts of hardship.
"I was not aware of that, she didn't call me. I'm just here to express my personal opinions today."
"What do you want to say?"
"I want to say… rather than hoping that I will help them, you should teach them to protect themselves. From what I see, with Nancy and Hyunjae's IQ, it won't be long before they die in Sehun's hands. If it weren't for you, they would have been kicked out a long time ago. Looking at the surface, what Nancy did doesn't benefit me, because everyone thinks that Mom only gave birth to me in an attempt to climb into the Oh family. But, that doesn't affect me negatively. In fact, I could take this opportunity to return to the family, but I wouldn't be the most trustworthy ally since they've already resorted to treating me that way. Do you really think I would still be stupid enough to help them? Furthermore, if anyone were to dig deeper into this matter, they will find out that Nancy's mother was the third person in your marriage with your legal wife, which will only harm their reputation. Only Nancy could do such a self-harming act. In fact, I'm pretty concerned for her IQ, so I'm telling you that you should discipline her more, or else the end result won't be pretty."
Lisa's words were like blades cutting through Mr. Oh's heart.
The pros and cons of the situation were clearly laid out, and since Lisa was a commoner to begin with, she would be the same no matter how many insults and abuse she endured.
But Nancy was different. If their dirty laundry was aired, she would fall from the status of a respected lady to the daughter of a homewrecker.
Not to mention that Nancy wasn't yet engaged, so this would definitely affect her future prospects.
Mr. Oh fell into a deep thought after listening to Lisa…
After a moment, he raised his head and asked her, "Will you not come back even if I beg you? Even if it's to help me?"
"What do you think?" Lisa laughed coldly.
"What if we were to make a deal? Relax, you wouldn't be doing this for anything. I can invite the lawyers to prove that the company shares I'm giving you are really yours, as long as you promise to stand by Nancy and Hyunjae. Those stocks are worth billions." Mr. Oh didn't believe that with Lisa's intellect, she wouldn't want any of his inheritance.
Lisa smiled, "Sorry, Mr. Oh, I'm in need of everything but money at the moment. To me, I would rather have you promise to make up for the 20 years of paternal love that I missed out on than the billions of inheritance money that you're offering."
Mr. Oh was feeling a little guilty. Paternal love? He didn't have any, he only ever favored Nancy and Hyunjae.
For some reason, he just didn't like Lisa, no matter how intelligent and shrewd he knew she was.
"Don't be conflicted, I'm just joking. Uncle Watanabe was great; he was actually like a father to me, so I'm not missing out on any paternal love. Okay, I've said my piece, this was just a kind-hearted warning, and it's up to you to listen or ignore it. There's one more thing I have to say."
"What is it?" Mr. Oh looked at Lisa in confusion.
"Your mistress and daughter are too aggressive, I think… it's time for me to strike back." At that, Lisa smiled confidently, then turned around and walked out.
Lisa's behavior was very calm and collected, and her words were full of logic.
Mr. Oh suddenly thought, if Nancy had even half of Lisa's maturity and intelligence, she wouldn't be in a situation where he had to worry about her on a daily basis.
Pity… It must be because of his previous sins.

That night, Lisa watched cartoons at home while eating chips, as calm as any other day.
Jungkook hadn't returned from work. Just then, her cell phone rang; it was Kai again.
Lisa watched it ring for a while before picking up.
"What is it?" She thought that he wanted to remind her of his wedding date with Krystal again. What a lingering bastard.
Surprisingly, Kai called to ask about something else.
He said, "Lisa, are you really related to Oh family?"
Lisa immediately knew what Kai was calling about. Smiling wickedly, she replied, "Of course, I even went to the hospital to find Mr. Oh today, and he kept yelling about giving me some shares of inheritance. I was thinking, what am I supposed to do with all that money, it's not like I'd ever finish spending it."
"Why didn't you tell me these things?" Kai's tone became a bit reproachful.
"You never asked me." Lisa found the situation rather funny.
"I really think we missed out on so much, my relationship with Krystal isn't what you think. I don't love her," Kai suddenly said.
Lisa nodded. "Yeah, you just want to have a baby with her, that's not love."
Such blatant mockery left Kai immediately speechless…
He said, "Lisa, do you still blame me for everything?"
Just as Lisa was about to say something, she heard the key turning in the door, and she immediately hung up.
As expected, Jungkook had come home…
"What are you doing? You're acting suspiciously." Jungkook could tell that Lisa was nervous.
"Um… Nothing." Lisa felt a bit guilty.
"I thought I heard you on the phone? Were you talking to that miserable looking ophthalmologist?"
"Are you Sherlock Holmes?" Lisa was exasperated that he could guess that.
(a/n- just finished watching Enola Holmes 2😉✌️ it is a good watch, better than the first I would say)
"So you did a terrible thing, are you going to apologize or what?" Jungkook removed his jacket, straightened his tie, and asked seriously.
Lisa immediately lowered her head… calculating her next move.
"What do you want to eat tonight? I'll go make it right now." In order to impress him, Lisa changed the focus to the dinner menu.
"Steamed Lisa."
Jungkook sat down next to Lisa on the sofa, speaking casually.
"Jung… Kook? Stop joking around." Lisa pressed her lips together and gazed at his handsome profile.
"If steamed is too much of a hassle, then how about dipped in wasabi, like sashimi?"
"Honey… don't be like that." Lisa finally decided to use her ultimate move against Jungkook.
107 days after getting their wedding certificate, at 7:25 PM, Lisa called Jungkook "honey" for the first time.
As expected, Jungkook's expression changed immediately, his pupils becoming deep and serene.
