Somi suddenly appeared by his side. She smiled and greeted him. "Uncle De, where are you headed to?"

"I have something to report to the Elder."

"It must be about the red packets that I gave Miss Kim earlier, isn't it?" She asked him directly.

Mingde understood that Kai had noticed him earlier. He did not conceal it. "Indeed."

Somi spoke in an upset manner. "I'm sure you could tell as well, but Miss Kim doesn't seem very happy with me. She actually said that I was trying to swap her red packets with mine. I'm the only granddaughter from the Lee Group. How could I possibly do such a thing? Look, when my grandfather, Director Lee, gives me pocket money, he generally offers two million dollars at a go."

She then showed him the message she received from the bank earlier. "Jennie is intentionally trying to attack me. Please don't believe in her words. Could you put in a good word on my behalf when speaking to Grandfather Manoban?"

Mingde scanned the message and saw that the Lee Group had truly sent her two million dollars. "How does Miss Manoban wish for me to do so?"

"Tell him that..." Somi thought about it. "Tell him that I picked up Miss Kim's red packets with good intentions, but she intentionally framed me and claimed that I was trying to replace her red packets."

Mingde was astonished. "Miss Manoban, that was not the case. It's inappropriate for you to do so."

"I also had no intention of replacing her red packets. Do you think it's appropriate for her to frame me?" Somi stepped closer to him and secretly stuffed a cheque into his hands. "This is an expression of my sincerity. I hope you will help me."

Mingde glanced at the cheque. It was for sixty thousand dollars.

She sure was generous.

He handed the cheque back to her. "Miss Kim is to become Madam Manoban with certainty. I have spent my whole life working for the Manoban family. If I make up lies about her, I will be chased out of the Manoban home. I cannot accept your money. Besides, no matter who this issue is about, as a butler, I cannot be dishonest."

"It's fine if you won't do it. Keep the money with you..."

"I cannot." Mingde forcefully pressed the cheque back into her hands. "If you insist any further, please do not blame me for telling the Elder that you attempted to bribe me into giving him a false report."

Somi could only take the cheque back. She gritted her teeth. "In that case, you insist upon reporting the earlier matter truthfully to Grandfather Manoban?"

"Indeed. Although you are the great Director Lee's granddaughter, it is one thing that he has given you money. It is completely irrelevant to the matter of yours and Jennie's red packets." Mingde responded professionally. "I trust that the Elder can form his own judgements after learning the truth."

"Is that so?" Somi's gaze suddenly turned cold. As though in response, Mingde's eyes turned blank.

"Earlier, Somi accidentally dropped Jennie's red packets when she was trying to give her some red packets. She immediately returned it to Jennie." Bai Jingrou spoke slowly.

Mingde repeated mechanically. "Earlier, Somi accidentally dropped Jennie's red packets when she was trying to give her some red packets. She immediately returned it to Jennie."

Somi repeated this several times until a strong impression was formed in Mingde's mind. She then smirked in satisfaction. "Go on."

Mingde then headed for the mansion.

She had initially planned on making Mingde insist Jennie had framed her for swapping their red packets.

However, she realised that it was difficult to make this matter look convincing given that there was only twenty dollars in each of her red packets.
