This incident was destined to be the most sensational news in Luo Hai this year.
It was also the biggest scandal!
From the sidelines, Xue Meiwei heard everything clearly. She had known that Taecyeon had fooled around with the Chou Family's daughter at that time. That woman came to their house when she discovered that she was pregnant. After that, the Old Mistress and Jae-wook took responsibility by forcing Yuan Taecyeon to marry Tzuyu.
She had never expected that it was actually a scandalous affair!
That man and his son had messed around with the same woman. She was betrayed twice over.
Her husband had betrayed her, and so had her son...
"You shameless man!"
Xue Meiwei responded by rushing on stage immediately. She did not care about anyone else's opinions. She had lost all sense of reason and repeatedly hit Jae-wook. She had completely abandoned her elegant demeanor as a noble lady.
Jae-wook blocked off her blows. He wailed frantically, "You stupid woman. I'll explain... I'll explain when we get home..."
"You're disgusting! You even forced our son to marry that woman..."
Xue Meiwei realized that she was the only person in this household who was left in the dark. She could not help herself from being blinded by rage.
"Don't listen to his lies. I only slept with her once. How could she get pregnant..."
The crowd burst into an uproar.
Xue Meiwei murmured, "You... You really... I've had it with you." She rushed forward and scratched her husband while shrieking. It was a chaotic scene.
Jae-wook was consumed by anxiety when he realized that he had blurted out a secret. Xue Meiwei attacked him while the crowd gossiped below the stage. The man was normally an arrogant person who towered over others, but he suddenly felt as though he had fallen into a bottomless pit...
He caught a glimpse of Lisa's unaffected gaze and indifferent expression while he was panicking. He noticed that neither the security personnel nor his servants came to his aid during this crisis. Even his comrades from political circles ignored him. Suddenly, he realized what was going on.
"You ungrateful boy! You've finally made your move..."
Suddenly, Jae-wook spat out a mouthful of blood that splattered in the distance!
His gaze was filled with fury and rage when he raised his head. He yelled, "I should've gotten rid of you a long time ago... You wouldn't have been able to see me like this today..."
Everyone's eyes darted toward Lisa when Jae-wook's gaze landed on him.
The young successor was another extremely powerful individual in the Manoban Family Mansion. He was currently glaring at his uncle coldly.
Jae-wook had a glorious past, but he was now in a miserable position.
This powerful man had suffered a heavy blow in front of the young and old generations of Luo Hai's aristocratic families, and even his own friends and relatives. He widened his eyes and took several steps backwards. Suddenly, he tripped and tumbled painfully off the stage.
The stage was not very high, it was less than half a meter tall. It was merely two platforms that were stacked on top of each other.
However, Jae-wook did not get up immediately after he fell. He laid there face-down, his body did not make a single movement.
Xue Meiwei stood on the sidelines in a daze. When she saw her husband like this, she stopped being unreasonable and abandoned her desire to make a scene. She shrieked, "Help! The Old Master... The Old Master has fainted!"
The Old Mistress stared blankly and remained frozen in place for a long time. She returned to her senses when she heard her daughter-in-law shouting. She frantically grabbed Minho. "Go and check on your brother quickly..."
Minho did not react to the unexpected incident immediately. He knew that Lisa was not on good terms with his second uncle, but he had never expected that the situation would escalate to this extent.
Minho rushed over and held Jae-wook. At the moment, the man's expression was blank while his gaze was focused on one spot. His mind seemed fuzzy and his breathing was uneven.
"Second brother!" Naturally, Minho understood that his brother had suffered a stroke.
He yelled loudly, but Jae-wook did not react at all.
Xue Meiwei had trouble breathing while she stood on the side. She deeply regretted her previous actions.
"Jae-wook, this can't be happening. What am I going to do if you die..."
Xue Meiwei wept mournfully.
The guests who were watching the situation unfold quickly took their cellphones out and called the ambulance.
It was no surprise that the crowd was still stunned. After all, this turn of events had occurred within a short span of ten minutes.
Everyone only realized the severity of the situation when Minho fell and landed head-first below the stage.
Yeji rushed over. She ignored the fact that she was wearing a cocktail dress and simply bent down. She opened Jae-wook's eyelids before she turned to her father and said, "Father, second uncle had a stroke. Let's send him to the hospital quickly!"
The ambulance arrived in a flash. They were lucky that the Military Hospital was very close to the area.
Most of the guests were cleared out from the venue shortly before after Jae-wook was taken away. Tzuyu became clear-headed after Jennie took care of her.
Tzuyu laid on the bed in the lounge. Her entire body was freezing despite being covered by a blanket.
Tzuyu shuddered. Jennie ran over the moment she noticed. Jennie's eyes were slightly swollen and her voice was hoarse. She asked, "How do you feel?"
Tzuyu wanted to say, "I feel like dying!"
However, she swallowed her words just as they were about to leave her mouth.
She had no right to die. She was merely a walking corpse now.
"Tzuyu, don't be afraid. You're the victim in this situation. You have to stay strong even if the Manoban Family doesn't give you justice. I'll fight for you!"
Jennie choked back sobs as she spoke.
The Manoban Family had tyrannized her. These people were truly immoral.
Jennie thought of the injustices that she and Tzuyu faced, but she had nowhere to vent her anger. She could not stop hating the Manoban Family when she realized their true nature. They were essentially using their power to abuse others.
Tzuyu shut her eyes as tears trickled down their corners. Jennie's palm was cold and completely devoid of warmth when she held her hand.
"Jennie, thank you... But getting justice won't change anything. How am I going to keep living and face the rest of the world?"
Tzuyu was clearly hiding a lot of grief while she cried. Jennie's heart shattered when she saw this.
She stroked Tzuyu's forehead and murmured, "Jae-wook was just taken to the hospital because he suffered a stroke. Additionally, Taecyeon is dead! The villains have been punished. Tzuyu, you must stay strong. None of this is your fault!"
Tzuyu forced a smile when she heard this conclusion. She mumbled dispiritedly, "I knew long ago that Taecyeon wasn't the father of that child..."
"I saw Taecyeon's medical checkup report by accident. His sperm count was very low. I did some research online and discovered that it was difficult to get pregnant in situations like these. Unfortunately, Taecyeon was an arrogant man who never considered that an issue..."
A miserable smirk appeared on Tzuyu's face when she said that. Jennie was shocked. She assumed that Tzuyu had only discovered today that Taecyeon had not fathered her child.
Shadows of hatred stirred in the bottom of Tzuyu's heart. She continued, "Jae-wook probably knew about Taecyeon's health problems beforehand. That's why... He... Forced Taecyeon to marry me and keep the baby..."
Tzuyu was overwhelmed by a feeling of nausea. Her stomach turned every time she recalled this issue.
Tzuyu shoved Jennie away before she crouched on the ground and heaved. This was a torturous mental illness.
Jennie was frightened. She held Tzuyu's shoulders tightly and tearfully said, "It's all over. Your nightmare has ended!"
After much difficulty, Tzuyu managed to calm down. She leaned against the side of the bed and got up. A strange enlightened look suddenly appeared on her deathly pale face.
"My nightmare has ended, but the pain still remains. Jennie , do you think that the Manoban Family's second son is completely ruined?"
Tzuyu seemed to be anticipating something. Jennie knew that Tzuyu wanted her to personally confirm this matter.
Jennie nodded. She replied, "Yes."
Tzuyu was momentarily distracted. Suddenly, she closed her eyes. "I've seen the ending that I yearned for!"
Jennie did not know what she meant.
Unexpectedly, Tzuyu's head smashed against the wall!
Jennie's heart was filled with sorrow when she saw that Tzuyu was determined to die while she was right next to her. She instinctively reached out her hand to desperately try and pull Tzuyu back.
Jennie tried to pull her backwards, but Tzuyu's head violently bashed against the wall...

Jennie dragged her exhausted body back home.
She looked around miserably. Her heart was filled with sorrow.
Tzuyu had barely escaped the clutches of death, but her beautiful forehead was marred by five stitches.
Jennie's emotions had been deeply stirred when she witnessed her old friend's suffering.
She did not sleep until Lisa returned at night.
The man's body was chilly. He went to take a shower and change his clothes before he crawled into bed. Lisa sighed in relief when he held the delicate and beautiful woman in his arms.
Jennie opened her eyes when she felt the man's breath against her back. She got up and turned on the table lamp before she glared angrily at him.
Lisa's strategy had certainly turned out well!
"Why aren't you asleep?" Lisa reached out to pull her toward him. However, he had not expected that Jennie would push his hand away and avoid his affections.
The woman muttered, "Lalisa, you gave Youquan that information!"
Jennie stated this as a matter of fact. She was not asking him a question.
Youquan was a greedy and shameless man by nature. He would not have waited until today if he had that information all this time. He would surely have used it to threaten the Manoban Family's second son long ago.
Everything had been carefully planned over the course of three to four years. As this spanned over such a long period of time, it was enough to prove that Lisa had a dark and terribly cunning mind.
He made the necessary preparations, concealed his strength, and bided his time for several years so that he could ensure Jae-wook's downfall. However, Jennie had not expected that he would completely overlook Tzuyu's fate when both the Manoban Family's second son and the Chou Family were in the palm of his hand.
"Would you be able to live with yourself if Tzuyu had died tonight?"
Jennie openly blamed him.
Lisa did not try to lie to her. Traces of leftover bloodlust flashed in his dark pupils. Suddenly, he reached out and embraced Jennie before he pushed her down against the large bed.
"Our fate is predestined. I merely used the truth to my advantage. Tzuyu's fate would have remained the same even if tonight's incident didn't occur. I wasn't the one who made her suffer!"
Jennie struggled vigorously when she heard this, but the man was holding both of her arms down. She glared at Lisa's face that was inches from her own. He suddenly seemed unfamiliar and cold-blooded.
"Let go!"
Lisa tightened his grip. He pressed his body against the woman's supple and sweet-smelling skin. Their bodies rubbed against each other as she frantically struggled. Lisa gulped before his hoarse voice grew deeper.
"Little Nini, I know that you feel sorry for Tzuyu, but I'm just being honest. I'm not the cause of her suffering. However, I'll admit that I used this conclusion to benefit myself. I'll compensate Tzuyu in full for everything that the Manoban Family owes her. Please don't be angry, okay?"
Jennie turned her face away. She choked back sobs and murmured, "I know that you weren't the one who harmed her, but I can't just let this go..."
Jennie was speechless at the thought of Tzuyu lying in the hospital.
Liu pressed his forehead against hers while the tips of their noses touched. "You and I are mere mortals. We can't relieve anyone of their suffering. The only person that I've disappointed right now is you. I'm going to spend the rest of my life taking good care of you!"
Lisa's breath scrambled Jennie's thoughts. When she moved her arms, Lisa realized that he was holding her too tightly. He hurriedly loosened his grip.
Jennie's arms were wrapped around his neck. Lisa's entire body trembled when she pressed her warm lips against his Adam's apple and collarbone. He lowered his head and met her starry eyes.
"Lisa, you're too cruel to your enemies. What would you do if I became your enemy one day..."
"I'd rather kill myself than hurt you!"
