Chapter 191 - Sound troublesome (1/2)

The party was over, and the guests were all leaving. Throughout the entire party, those who Jinhee did not know approached her and made all types of request to her. Jinhee considered that to be extremely awkward and accepted all of their requests with a smile on her face.

Min Hyunbin searched for opportunities to create trouble for Jinhee all throughout the party while Ahn Chaewon stayed at one corner. In the end, the day ended well for Jinhee without much hurdles in her way.

As Lee Jinhee stood beside the staircase with Han Taeho, she looked at the floor and asked, "So, did Lee Jinkyung get convinced?"

"Some sweet words were enough to make her believe me," Taeho voiced out.

"Either Jinkyung is pretending or she has a lot of trust within you," Jinhee commented.

"It is not Jinkyung, but the one who is controlling Jinkyung. It is the one who has this much trust within me," Taeho stated.

"Do you have any leads on who it could be?" Jinhee asked.

Jinhee then added, "On her own, Jinkyung is not that bright and lets her emotions affect her easily. On that day, she recklessly came into the Han Mansion and got humiliated at the end. However, today, she instigated Lee Chungae to do everything whilst she watched something from the sidelines."

"I have investigated everyone around her, but there was no one like that who could help her in such a way. About this, there is something out of ordinary, something we are failing to notice," Taeho voiced out.

Lee Jinhee nodded.

"Now that Kwon Youngmi had arrived, I have an inkling that Jinkyung will be staying out of my way. I need a way to agitate her so that she could lose control of her temper and ruin everything. This could reveal the one behind her," Jinhee said.

Lee Jinhee yawned as she sat up on her bed. Removing the blanket off of her, Jinhee got down the bed when her phone suddenly started to ring. Confused on who it could be so early in the morning, Jinhee took her phone from the table and saw the name on the phone. The call was from Chaewon.

Lee Jinhee heard sobs from the other side of the phone, and worried about what could have happened, Jinhee said, "Chaewon-ah, what is the matter?"

"Jinhee, I know this request of mine could sound troublesome to you, but I don't know whom I should seek help from," Chaewon stated, "Can you please come over here? You might have school and would not want to skip. I understand if you reject it."

"Where are you, Chaewon-ah? I will head over right now," Jinhee said whilst wearing a serious expression.

"Really, Jinhee-ah? This really means a lot to me, and I don't know how to show my gratefulness towards you. I'll send you the location at this moment," Chaewon vocalised.

Dressed in a pair of black leggings and white shirt, Lee Jinhee dashed down the stairs, and as she was about to head towards the door, Jihye had spotted her.

Noticing Han Jihye, Lee Jinhee bowed and said, "Good Morning, Jihye-ssi!"

Walking towards Lee Jinhee, a pout was visible on Jihye face as she voiced out, "Jinhee-ah, I told you to call me Mother. Jihye-ssi sounds too formal to me."

Lee Jinhee wore an awkward smile and said, "I forgot. Sorry, Mother."

"That's more like it. Anyway, are you going somewhere?"

"Ah! Yes, a friend of mine had gotten into trouble, and I have to head over to her now. I have to miss the breakfast and school for today," Jinhee said.

"If it is important, I will arrange a driver for you then," Jihye voiced out.

Shaking her head, Jinhee expressed, "No, no, you don't need to do that, Jihy— Mother. I will manage."
