The next afternoon, Jisoo was notified by one of his spies that Jennie's doctor was on the move. During work hours, she was discovered ducking out of work sneakily to a nearby cafe. It appeared, she was waiting for someone.
To ensure everything ran smoothly, Jisoo decided to personally follow the lead. He quickly drove over to the cafe in an average looking car and watched over the entrance.
Time slowly ticked by, but the doctor still did not see who she was waiting for. From outside the window, Jisoo noticed the doctor pull out her phone multiple times to check the time with an anxious expression.
Jisoo continued to observe the doctor with interest. Until...a blue figure finally appeared.
To ensure he identified the person correctly, Jisoo removed his sunglasses to have a closer look. After entering the cafe, the figure looked around anxiously before sitting down opposite Doctor Lin...
For a slight moment, time seemed to have frozen.
Jisoo's gaze darkened. He thought this person would never appear in front of Jennie again. But, it seemed, she was still as evil as ever.
Meanwhile, Jennie had just started her afternoon shoot. Lisa was standing by her side holding a jacket. As she looked over at him, she noticed Jisoo's number appear on his phone.
Lisa turned around to pick up his phone. The first thing that Jisoo said was, "President, the culprit has been confirmed, it's Nancy."
"What else does she have planned? Help me investigate thoroughly," Lisa instructed. "Give me a list of everyone involved. I will deal with them one at a time."
"As for Nancy, after everything has been clarified, I will decide how to deal with her."
"Yes, President," Jisoo hung up the phone with a cold expression. He then instructed the paparazzi he hired to enter the cafe and find out what the two women were talking about.
...
"This is a deposit. Once everything is done, I'll give you the rest," Nancy pulled out some money from her bag and handed it to the doctor. "Don't let anyone else find out about this."
"Don't worry. I'll handle this well," the doctor reassured confidently.
The only reason why she was so confident was because the entire operating theatre was in on the plan. They had all agreed to keep their mouths shut for money. Otherwise, from the time that Jennie's report was released to the time of the operation, how was it possible that no one knew something was going on.
"I'll wait for the good news." After speaking, Nancy stood up and once again looked around before putting on her sunglasses and walking out of the cafe. As for the doctor, she quickly put the money in her bag and stood up from her seat.
However, just as she was about to step out of the cafe, Jisoo suddenly appeared in front of her and snatched her bag from her hands. He opened it up and emptied out the contents. Money fell out and covered the floor.
Luckily, there weren't many people in the cafe. So the waiters quickly helped the doctor pick up her money. But...Jisoo had no intention to let the doctor off easily as he dragged her back to her seat.
The doctor looked around in a panic, wondering if Nancy had already left. Meanwhile, Jisoo sat down and pointed his chin towards her, "Stop looking around, she's gone."
"Mr. Kim...you..."
"Doctor Lin, I think you should explain what you were doing with the woman just now..."
"That...we..."
"Why are you so nervous?" Jisoo watched as the doctor trembled and smiled, "Did you think you could get away with it? How about this, I'll give you some time to explain yourself. Let's see how much truth you can tell."
Jisoo deliberately played around with her. Especially when he saw the doctor's forehead cover with a layer of sweat, his lips curved upwards into a mocking smile.
"What? You can't tell me?"
"No...no, that's not it. I don't understand what I did wrong. Why is Mr. Kim treating me this way?"
The air suddenly froze...
Jisoo looked coldly at the woman and said in a fierce voice, "If it wasn't a public space here, your neck would be gone. I'm not here to have a casual chat with you. It's best if you explain everything to me in detail, otherwise, Manoban Entertainment will make sure you return to nothing."
"Don't test your luck. The person you are trying to hurt is someone that even a king wouldn't dare touch."
The doctor sensed the danger in Jisoo's eyes and was so frightened that she almost knelt on the ground to beg for mercy.
However, her body did not listen, so she found herself frozen in place.
"You're not going to talk?"
After waiting a few seconds, Jisoo confirmed that the doctor wasn't willing to cooperate, so he stood up and warned, "It looks like you really want to meet Manoban Entertainment's lawyers."
"No..." Doctor Lin frantically grabbed onto Jisoo's sleeves and dragged him back to his seat, "I'll talk...I'll tell you everything."
"A few days ago, didn't you come to the hospital to arrange for Miss Jennie's medical examination? Right after you left, someone approached us and offered a large sum of money to tamper with Miss Kim's results. Also..."
"Also what?" Jisoo asked.
"She instructed me to trick Miss Kim into getting an operation. Then, during the operation, I was to claim that there was a complication and use it as an excuse to remove Miss Kim's...uterus..." As Doctor Lin spoke, she subconsciously took note of Jisoo's reaction. She was well aware that if Jisoo had already discovered the truth, there was no way she could deny it.
Removing Jennie's uterus...
Hearing these words made Jisoo so angry, he almost flipped the glass table in front of him.
He never expected Nancy to be so ruthless.
"How many more people are involved in this matter?" Jisoo asked as he held back his anger.
Doctor Lin found it impossible to defend herself against Jisoo's threatening aura, so she willingly gave him the names of everyone involved. Most importantly, she also mentioned a familiar name: the mastermind behind the entire scheme, Mother Zhong.
"Mr. Kim, please let me go. It was merely a moment of stupidity."
"Let you go?" Jisoo's gaze was extremely cold. "Of course I can let you go, but you must agree to cooperate and keep this act going."
"So, as long as I cooperate, you will let me go?" the doctor seemed to have spotted a glimmer of hope as her eyes twinkled.
"Of course," Jisoo replied in seriousness.
However, even if he was to let these people off, it didn't mean Lisa would.
"OK, in that case, how do you want me to cooperate?"
How was she to cooperate? He was going to make sure that no one involved would escape!
However, Jisoo did not act recklessly. After dealing with Doctor Lin, he headed to the set of 'The Lost Relative'.
As soon as he spotted Lisa, Jisoo hesitated for a moment about telling him the truth. He had never imagined a woman could be so evil. So, he didn't know how Lisa would react after hearing the entire story.
...
"Speak. What's wrong?" Jisoo did not make a sound, but it didn't mean that Lisa didn't notice.
Jisoo was a little surprised, but he respectfully approached Lisa and explained, "I've already uncovered the truth..."
"What is it?"
After a little bit of time, Jisoo managed to recall the entire story to Lisa. On top of that, he also added a bit of his own assumptions, "I did some further investigations and found that Nancy goes to the same hospital for her check-ups. I assume she saw me at the hospital and found out that the Madam wanted to get a medical exam, so she paid off the doctor's to play out her scheme."
"As for her ultimate motive, she didn't simply want to spread rumors that the Madam temporarily couldn't fall pregnant...she actually wanted to get the Madam's uterus removed so she could NEVER fall pregnant."
Lisa listened quietly to the results of Jisoo's investigation and notified, "Nancy's returned to the Tang household."
"Then that explains why Nancy did so much to plot against the Madam..." Jisoo tied the findings together. She was obviously using the typical schemes to fight for favoritism. She was afraid that if Jisoo also fell pregnant, Elder Kim would not feel pity on her and impede her return to the Tang household. "In that case, what's our next step?"
"Let's arrange for the operation to go ahead and mislead Nancy into believing that Jennie's uterus has been removed."
"Afterwards, arrange a visit to the hospital for me. I want to personally go to the hospital and chase some debts."
"As for dealing with Nancy...I want you to invite the Kim Family to the hospital for a good show without Nancy knowing."
In other words, Lisa wanted everyone to see the true Nancy by watching her put on a show like a clown.
The thought of it was quite satisfying...
Jisoo smirked as he did as instructed. He had always been impressed by Lisa's methods.
This time, they could both deal with the people from the hospital and warn the Kim Family to be careful. This was the best result.
A moment later, Jennie finished filming and noticed Jisoo standing beside Lisa. She knew straight away that the investigation results were in. So she quickly ran over to the two men and asked, "Did you find out who the instigator is?"
Jisoo glanced at Lisa. Seeing that Lisa did not say anything to stop him, Jisoo nodded, "Yes."
"Who is it?"
"Nancy..."
"What else does she have planned?" Jennie continued to ask.
"She...she wants to get your uterus removed," Jisoo revealed straightforwardly. He understood this was what Lisa wanted him to tell her because he had no intention to hide the truth from her - even though the truth was so disgusting.
"Oh..." Jennie gave a simple response. It seemed she had either expected the answer or wasn't surprised by it. "Hubby, what do you plan to do?"
Lu Che also revealed Lisa's plan to Jennie. After hearing the plan, Jennie's expression turned cold, "When it comes to this woman, I've long decided not to show mercy."
"Plus, my motto has always been, I won't attack those that don't attack me first. I'm sure you understand, Jisoo."
"I understand."
"If she hurts me, I don't expect too much in return. I'll simply give her back what she deals."
She could endure being hurt. But if Nancy wanted to hurt her and Lisa's child, she was seeking her own death.
"What about the Zhong Family?" Jennie asked calmly. Lisa looked down and gently stroked her hair, "No one can bully you. If they do..."
"...I will make them pay back ten-fold."
The Zhong Family's shipping business had always been in a sensitive industry. A little bit of carelessness was enough to step over the government's bottom line. If someone wanted to destroy one of their ships, it was much too easy.
"Jenjen, the next scene is about to start. Please get ready," one of the members of the production crew reminded as they approached her from behind.
Jennie nodded. With the blink of an eye, she was ready for the next scene.
...
In the end, Nancy had no idea that Lisa and Jennie already knew her every move and had a plan of attack against her. She was still dreaming that her scheme would be a success.
That night, Hye Kyo returned home from overseas. As she carried her luggage into the living room, she spotted Nancy. She was a little shocked and almost thought she had walked into the wrong household.
However, the maids quickly scurried over to help her with her luggage and greeted, "Madam, welcome home."
"What is she doing here?" Hye Kyo asked as she pointed at Nancy.
"Auntie, I know I was wrong in the past and caused a lot of pain for both you and Jennie. But I've changed for the better. I hope you can trust me," Nancy stood in the middle of the living room and bowed apologetically at Hye Kyo. "I was wrong, sorry. I hope you can forgive me."
"Wait. I simply want to know what you are doing here," Hye Kyo was no longer the same Hye Kyo from the past. Since she was now the head of the family, she naturally had to clarify things.
"It...it was the chairman that brought her home," one of the maids bravely stepped forward and explained, "It's because the Big Miss is pregnant..."
Hye Kyo's expression darkened as she subconsciously looked at Nancy's stomach. After analyzing her for a while, she turned and asked the maid, "Has she been examined? Is she really pregnant? Or is she putting on an act like they do in movies and using pregnancy as an excuse to return to the Kim Household?"
"That..."
"Hye Kyo, don't go overboard with your words." Elder Kim had heard the two women arguing, so he quickly hobbled out of the study room with his walking stick.
Nancy didn't say a word. She endured until her eyes turned red and expression pitiful. It seemed she had truly changed.
"Father...since you've handed the family to me, all decisions, big or small, should be made by me. Since Nancy has already been kicked out, why would you let her back in? If you're worried about her, you can find her a place to live on the outside. No matter what, she can't take another step into the Kim Household," Hye Kyo said powerfully.
"That..."
"Grandfather, it's OK, I can leave," Nancy turned around and pretended to leave. But, after taking just one step, she suddenly collapsed onto the floor...
"Hye Kyo, what are you doing? She can't be angered," Elder Kim immediately instructed a member of staff to escort Nancy into his room.
Hye Kyo's expression turned cold. She did not say another word because she realized Nancy had come prepared. Having a child was like having a bargaining chip.
A while later, Elder Kim called for the family doctor. After the doctor finished examining Nancy, she ended up falling asleep.
"Hye Kyo, I beg of you, let Nancy return..."
"You've already let her back in, what's the point of me refusing?" Hye Kyo said before directly returning to her room.
She then gave Jennie a phone call. At this time, Jennie had just finished work.
"Mom...you're back."
"Did you know that Nancy returned to the Kim household?" Hye Kyo's heart broke. It seemed like the whole world already knew, but no one thought of telling her.
"I heard a bit about it."
"Don't assume that I don't know Nancy's real intent. She's going to use her pregnancy as an excuse to turn the world upside down."
