Chapter 70 - Bias behaviour (1/2)

Moving three steps backward efficiently, Jinhee avoided the slap that was directed towards her. With a keen eye, Jinhee had observed every single move of Minjoon and therefore, succeeded in avoiding his slap in time.

Her eyes showing a fierce and serious outlook, Lee Jinhee warned, "Next time, you resort to something like this, I won't be afraid to notify grandpa Dowon about it."

No matter how many shareholders or supporters Lee Minjoon had in his side, he still couldn't afford to get in the bad side of Lee Dowon.

Controlling his anger, Lee Minjoon voiced out, "Maintain yourself, and don't try to tarnish the name of Moonstone Enterprise."

Paying no heed to Minjoon's words, Jinhee walked towards the stairs collectedly whilst her mind was plagued with thoughts.

°°°

Although she managed to threaten and stop Lee Minjoon today, such a trick wouldn't work for a long term. With the wrath Lee Minjoon held towards Lee Jinhee, he'll surely find another way to teach her a lesson.

Taking out her phone, she decided to inform Lee Dowon on this matter and practice caution from the beginning. Clicking upon his number, Lee Jinhee waited for him to pick up the phone.

When the call connected, Jinhee spoke out, "How are you doing, Grandpa Dowon?"

"Fine. I assume everything is going well with you," He spoke out, "Is there anything you needed?"

"Not exactly. I just went too far with insulting Lee Minjoon and wanted to inform you on it beforehand." Jinhee let out a sheepish laughter at the end.

"You do know the consequences of provoking him?" Her grandfather questioned.

"I'm aware, but if it wasn't for this way, they would've troubled me more with some rubbish Jinkyung had made up," Jinhee voiced out.

An audible sigh was left by her grandfather Dowon.

"I won't reprimand you. But remember that, over the years, Lee Minjoon had grown extremely powerful. Many of Moonstone Enterprise's shareholders and staffs support him. For you, avoiding such a person is the best option," Dowon voiced out.

'If I leave him unscathed, he'll ruin all of my plans. Don't worry, Grandpa Dowon, I have plans to take him down and just need some time to implement them.'

"Next month, I'll have to move abroad for some matters and might stay there for a while. It would be better for you to follow along," Dowon stated.

'Abroad? That sounds like a nice option. Maybe I can go there, once I'm over with everything here, to start anew.'

Jinhee smiled to herself at that thought.

"I will; I will follow you one day, Grandpa Dowon, but for now, I have to remain in South Korea for some important tasks. After they are done, I'll definitely go to where you'll be at," Jinhee stated in a soft tone as the determination within her increased.

"I can't disagree if you have something important, but it's not safe for you to stay at Lee Mansion. I'll arrange a place for you."

The warmth that Dowon showed in his tone touched Jinhee, and she was more displeased with herself for disappointing the only man that cared for her and respected her opinions.

"I'll be going to Japan on Tuesday with Lee Jaehyun, and the trip is going to last for four days," Jinhee informed. "After I return, I can directly go to the dormitory."

Jinhee added, "I'm a grown girl now. You should care about your health before being so much concerned with me."

"You're the only granddaughter I have. If I don't dote on you, then whom will I dote on, silly girl!" Dowon voiced out in a scolding tone.

Jinhee let out a chuckle.

"Are you hinting me that if I had a sibling, you wouldn't dote on me?" Jinhee light-heartedly joked.

"You brat! It's way past your bedtime! Go to sleep."

"Grandpa Dowon, with your age, it's not healthy to stay awake this late." Jinhee added series of laughs at the end, teasing Dowon further. It reminded her of the old days when Dowon and she used to tease each other with every opportunity they got.

Staring at the light above her head, Jinhee was in a deep thought. Will she ever become the carefree girl she once was? Will she ever be able to happy without being afraid that something will snatch it away?

No matter how much pitiful, pathetic, or weak Jinhee was in her previous life, at least in her previous life, Jinhee did not feel so hollow in her life.
