Chapter 113 - Fittest survive (1/2)

"I'd admit if I was wrong, Grandfather. But what did I do this time? I simply wanted to eat some instant noodles since I haven't had them for a long time.

However, mother did not like the idea of that and threw away the pot on her own. If you don't believe me, you can check mother's hand and see if it is scalded or not.

Worried that it might cause more pain to mother or leave a ugly scar, I poured cool water on them since the hot water was splashed all over their body." Jinhee sobbed at the end.

All the maids and butlers present heard their words clearly, and if Youngchul treated Jinhee unfairly, then it will be gossiped by all servants.

Not much time is taken for the gossips to reach the outsiders' ears, and since Minjoon's spot as the next heir is not confirmed, it will not be in their favour to create more trouble.

"Go to your room," Lee Youngchul ordered whilst staring at Jinhee sternly.

Nodding docilely, Jinhee wiped the tears from her eyes and walked out of the kitchen. Before leaving the kitchen, she stopped beside Jinkyung for a second.

"Do I need to recommend a plastic surgeon for you?" Jinhee whispered into her ear. Joy could be deciphered from her voice.

After that, Jinhee took a step forward when Jinkyung turned towards Jinhee with an angered expression.

"What do you mean!?" Jinkyung questioned— her tone showed how curious she was at this moment.

Once again, halting in her movements, Jinhee tilted her head to look at Jinkyung. Her countenance immediately turned nervous and concerned.

"Jinkyung, I don't know how to say it," Jinhee voiced out, "But your clothes have become see through and uhm...But if you prefer it this way, I won't say anything."

Many of the male servants were ogling at Jinkyung's body, and some of them had their cheeks coloured in red.

Noticing that, Jinkyung's eyes widened in horror, and crossing her arms over her chest, she immediately sat down. This was the most humiliating day of her life!

"What are you doing? Bring a towel for my sister and mother!" Jinhee ordered to the maid, and the maid immediately rushed to bring them.

Stepping into her room, a satisfied smile came over Jinhee's face, and she let out a yawn. The mother and daughter duo became a joke in front of all the servants' eyes today.

As Jinhee closed the door, the cold air from outside blew in, and Jinhee shivered. Turning back, she noticed that the door to the veranda was wide open.

"Strange, I remember closing it before going outside," Jinhee mumbled as she walked towards the veranda.

Shuddering after a wave of cool breeze, Jinhee voiced out, "I should change into something warmer."
