Chapter 112 - Wrongly accused (1/2)

The trip to Japan had ended, and all of them returned back to South Korea. School started after the weekends, and these two days, Jinhee had to sadly stay with the Lee family.

Walking into the kitchen, Jinhee attempted to cook herself some instant noodles as she was in no mood to sit at the same dining table as the Lee family.

Although her cooking abilities were below average, she could at least make herself some edible instant noodles.

As the water boiled, Jinhee took out the uncooked noodles from its packet and placed it down inside the water. Watching the small bubbles, Jinhee tapped her foot on the floor.

Hearing footsteps behind her, Jinhee turned back. Seeing the mother and daughter pair, Jinhee had a feeling that a new drama was going to begin.

Lee Jiyoung, her so-called adopted mother, had a scowl on her face whilst on Jinkyung, her supposed to be twin, had a mixture of anger, sadness, and smugness on her face.

'I avoided dinner with you all to stay away from trouble, but it seems that some trouble too hard to get rid of.'

"What are you doing here?" Jiyoung raised her hand up.

Knowing that it was about to come in contact with her cheeks, Jinhee bent her knees a little, lowering her height. A merciless idea came inside of her mind.

Her body stood in front of the boiling water, and with her body still lowered, Jinhee raised her head to look at Jiyoung.

"What are you doing, Mom?" Jinhee questioned, sounding informal with her words and tone unlike the usual.

"How much are you going to stain the name of our family? First, you get a sugar daddy, and now, you come to cook here when you know there is a table full of food out there.

Are you trying to show the maids that we don't feed you or something? Are you trying to make them spread gossip and fake rumour about us?"

The actual anger of Lee Jiyoung was from the event that day when Jinhee acted against Lee Minjoon, and Jinhee was aware of that.

'I'm pretty sure all of them knows how you all treat me perfectly.'

"Mom, I wonder how all those, who see you as someone elegant and composed, would react when they see this side of yours?" Jinhee questioned with a wide, innocent smile on her face.

"Are you trying to threaten me?"

Once again, Jiyoung was about to slap Jinhee, and a smirk appeared on her face seeing that she was successful in provoking Jiyoung.

Before her hand could touch Jinhee, Jinhee stood up straight and hurriedly moved away from the water. A sigh of relief left Jinhee's mouth when she realised that she was effective with her trick.

Jiyoung's hand touched the hot metal of the pot instead of Jinhee, and she immediately moved away her hand due to the burning pain.
