Jungkook subconsciously looked into the room to see that there was no one else, so...

Was this woman, who indirectly caused him to be mocked by others, Taehyung's wife whom he married some time ago?

Y/N was sizing up Jungkook too. She didn't have a good impression of him.

The fact that he had invested in 'Islander' was the reason that she had to force herself to bite the bullet and ask Jennie and Jun-ho to invest.

In the end...

Jennie's card got terminated by Taehyung.

'Damn it!'

'Taehyung is a sly, cunning, and unsympathetic dog. Jungkook is a bastard who specially creates trouble for me!'

"Are you Second Young Madam Kim?"

Jungkook pointed at Y/N.

"Why are you asking the obvious?"

'She really is!'

'Is the female lead of 'Female Fortress Leader' Second Young Madam Kim?'

'Taehyung actually made his wife act in a romantic film alongside another man. I take my hat's off to him for his magnanimity.'

However...

Jungkook squinted and said, "Second Young Madam Kim, you're appearing so brazenly on my turf and you let me find out your identity. Aren't you afraid that I'll expose you?"

Not feeling threatened by him at all, Y/N said, "If you're a man, don't be a blabbermouth. It's not an embarrassing thing to be Second Young Madam Kim. If you expose my identity, everyone will be afraid of me. What's so bad about that?"

Jungkook noticed the gusto in her voice as he stared at Y/N's pretty face. It was the first time a woman dared to talk to him in such an assertive and masculine manner.

Facing Jungkook's blatant gaze, Y/N was displeased and was about to speak when Jisso stepped forward to stand in between them.

"Mr. Jeon, what do you mean? Is the Kim Family not allowed to attend your auction?"

Jungkook was rather amazed by Jisso who had married Jin because of business relations. Albeit Jin's indifference towards her, she still put her heart and soul into managing the affairs of the Kim Family.

"Young Madam, you're making it sound too serious. Why would I dare to stop the Kim Family members from entering?" As he spoke, he looked at Y/N again. "I'm just curious about why Second Young Madam Kim wants to put that wooden bangle up for auction."

"What are you curious for?"

"I'm curious about the origin of that wooden bangle. It looks like it was carved out of ordinary wood carved, but there must be something outstanding about it to be worth the price of 200,000 Won."

Jisso couldn't help but look at Y/N. When Y/N took out the wooden bangle and was about to put it up for auction, she stood against it.

With a mysterious smile, Y/N asked, "Mr. Jeon, are you very curious about the origin of my bangle?"

Jungkook nodded.

"It has a significant origin. I promise you'll get a great shock after hearing it, Mr. Jeon."

Jungkook had to admit that Y/N had already completely aroused his curiosity. He bent forward slightly to move his handsome face close to Y/N's in a bid to charm her with his good looks.

In the end...

Y/N glanced at him sultrily with watery eyes, looking absolutely gorgeous.

Jungkook's Adam's apple bobbed and he said, "Second Young Madam Kim, go ahead and tell me how shocking it is."

"Do you want to know?"

Jungkook nodded.

Y/N suddenly stopped smiling and took a step back expressionlessly. "Mr. Jeon, if you want to know, just buy the bangle. When the auction is over, I'll tell you the origin of the bangle, how does that sound?"

'She wants me to spend 200,000 Won on a wooden bangle?'

Y/N continued, "Oh, I forgot that you're a pauper, Mr. Jeon. You can't even afford 2,000 Won, let alone 200,000."

Jungkook exclaimed with a sullen expression, "Who said that? I'm not any poorer than Taehyung!"

'That dog Taehyung is so stingy. He definitely has a considerable sum of savings. How can you compare to him?'

"Wow, turns out you're so rich, Mr. Jeon." Y/N applauded and continued, "Mr. Jeon, you must buy the bangle during the auction then. No matter how expensive it might be, you must buy it. Or else, you'll definitely regret!"

Jungkook knew that she was just trying to agitate him.

However...

He was really curious about the origins of the wooden bangle.

"Mr. Jeon, you're very wealthy and you're not a petty miser like Taehyung. You definitely will buy the bangle at all costs."

Y/N continued to tempt him.

'Is Taehyung very petty and stingy?'

Jungkook was a little surprised and he felt that he had touched a blind spot as he actually heard Taehyung's wife say that he was stingy.

'It seems that Taehyung doesn't really treat this woman very well.'

Jungkook tugged his necktie and raised his chin a little before saying arrogantly, "Of course, I'm definitely more generous than Taehyung."

Y/N gave him a thumbs up and then pulled Jisso away without looking back.

The auction venue was already crowded with people of the upper class society of the city.

As members of the Kim Family, Y/N and Jisso were seated in the first row, with Jungkook seated only a meter away from them.

The first item that was put up for auction happened to be Y/N's bangle, and they wondered if Jungkook had deliberately made that arrangement.

"This wooden bangle is made of wood from a 500-year-old-tree in Black Cloud Fortress and has a rejuvenating effect. It has been consecrated by a famous master to ward off evil and drive away bad luck..."

The auctioneer pompously introduced the bangle, leaving Y/N dumbfounded.

'Why don't I know that the wooden bangle that the crew bought for a few Won for the filming has such an impressive historical background?'

She had merely taken it away casually.

"The starting bid is 200,000 Won. The auction begins now."

The people in the audience looked at each other thinking to themselves that the bangle was definitely not worth 200,000 Won, and that only a fool would buy them.

After a long time, no one raised the sign.

Y/N looked at Jungkook with displeasure.

Jungkook crossed his legs and placed his hands on the back of his head, as if the matter didn't concern him at all.

'How dare that rogue Jungkook embarrass me? Outrageous.'

"Y/N, why don't I..."

"I must make Jungkook spend a large sum of money today."

Y/N raised her sign and said, "210,000 Won."

After she said that, everyone turned to look at her.

"Who is that? How come I haven't seen her before?"

"She's quite pretty and she seemed elegant too. She should be the daughter of a certain wealthy family, right?"

"The one sitting next to her looks a bit like the Kim Family's daughter-in-law."

"I never got the chance to meet Young Madam Kim."

After placing her bid, Y/N slowly looked down at Jungkook.

Jungkook happened to look over and Y/N raised her eyebrows as she slowly gave him a thumbs-up. She mouthed the words, "You're stingier than Taehyung!"

Jungkook's handsome face became sullen when he understood what was going on.

Taehyung was his number one rival and he hated being compared to Taehyung the most.

'Outrageous.'

He raised the sign without hesitation and said, "250,000 Won."

'Oh?'

Satisfied with his action, Y/N continued to raise her sign. "250,000.50."

'There must be something wrong with Y/N's brains. Others obviously won't buy this bangle. I'm only offering 250,000 Won for her sake.'

Slightly angered, Jungkook glared at Y/N with displeasure.

Y/N continued to look at him alluringly and said in a clear and sweet voice, "I didn't expect Mr. Jeon to like this bangle too."

'I'm forced to compete with you!'

'Damn it, I can't let her label me as a miser. Otherwise, I'd be thoroughly embarrassed.'

Gritting his teeth, Jungkook raised his sign again. "400,000."

"400,000.50."

"450,000..."

The crowd watched as Jungkook and Y/N competed for the bangle.

'But what's wrong with that woman? Why does she only raise the price by fifty cents every time she places her bid? Is she that stingy?'

When the price of the bangle reached one million Won, some people in the crowd secretly thought to themselves, 'It seems that Mr. Jeon is really fond of that wooden bangle, is there something extraordinary about it?'

At this moment, a middle-aged man who was almost bald raised his sign and said, "1.1 million."

'This bangle is definitely extraordinary, otherwise how could someone as shrewd as Jungkook place such a crazy bid?'

After the middle-aged man spoke, many other people began to place bids.

Y/N returned the bidding sign to Jisso and kept quiet.

However, she glanced at Jungkook sultrily, making him get the goosebumps.

Jungkook stood up abruptly and said, "2 million, anyone who dares to vie with me is going against me."

The group of people who had been whispering instantly shut up.

As expected of a rogue origin, Jungkook had quite a bit of potential for being Y/N's underling.

'Selling something that's worth a few Won for 2 million Won is such a good deal!'

Rubbing her chin with one hand, Y/N glanced at the venue, thinking to herself that it was a lucrative job that would bring her massive riches.

"Y/N, you're really something, you managed to make Mr. Jeon spend two million for nothing."

Jisso couldn't help but be amazed. 'No wonder Jennie couldn't stop praising Y/N. She's indeed very impressive to be able to make Jungkook spend money.'

Y/N smiled sweetly and said, "Sister-in-law, you flatter me."

That was simple. Jungkook and Taehyung were at odds against each other. As long as he had a chance to make himself seem more impressive than Taehyung, he would definitely seize it.

However, Jungkook's behavior made everyone present even more curious about the true origin of the wooden bangle.

Jisso bought a famous sculpture that was carved by a famous carver of the ancient times, as a gift for Old Master Jeon.

"Y/N, did anything catch your eye?"

Y/N was in a good mood because she managed to earn two million Won from Jungkook for no reason. "No."

"Actually, the jade Buddha statue that Mrs. Jung put up just now is quite good."

"It's not bad but the only flaw is that it's too expensive."

The jade Buddha statue costs more than half a million Won. She felt that Jin's golden skull was better than the jade Buddha statue.

"Y/N, are you worried that I didn't bring enough money?"

Y/N blinked at Jisso and said, "That item is not worth spending your money on."

Just as she said that, the lady serving at the auctioneer put a painting on display.

It was about a meter wide and in the painting, there was a tiger lying on the ground. Its eyes had been especially drawn to look extraordinarily realistic.

Most importantly, the starting bid of the painting was 100,000 Won, making it the cheapest item of the auction so far.

"This painting was sent by the Park family. All the proceeds from this item will be donated to the children living in the mountains as a public service initiative."

'The Park family?'

Y/N had a vague impression of them, and she knew that they were one of the so-called top powerful families in the city.

Unfortunately, she didn't like their surname.

"Sister-in-law, I'll take that painting."

To her surprise, Jungkook had also taken a fancy to that painting, and as soon as Jisso placed her bid, Jungkook began doing so too.

"150,000 Won."

"200,000 Won."

"250,000 Won."

Seeing that the price of the painting was about to go up to one million Won, Y/N glared daggers at Jungkook and mocked, "I didn't expect the CEO of Jeon Group to be so ungentlemanly as to compete with a vulnerable woman."

Jungkook's hand stiffened as he held up the sign. 'What's wrong with that? I just want to bid for a painting that I like. How is that ungentlemanly?'

"Second Young Madam Kim, you're exaggerating things. The items sold at auctions are meant to be bought by the highest bidder. I like that painting so I want to buy it. Isn't that normal?"

'Second Young Madam?'

'Which family does she belong to?'

The crowd suddenly remembered that the lady in the yellow dress that someone said was elegant just now, seemed to be Young Madam Kim, so...

'The one bidding with Jungkook is the wife of Second Young Master Kim?'

'No wonder she dared to clamor in front of Jungkook. No wonder Jungkook wants to vie with her.'

Everyone knew the hostility and animosity between Taehyung and Jungkook.

"Mr. Jeon, is your grandfather still alive and well?"

Y/N suddenly asked.

Jungkook frowned and looked at Y/N with suspicion. 'What is she asking about that old man for?'

"He's alive and kicking, unfortunately."

Y/N nodded and said, "Ah, indeed, it's unfortunate that he has an unfilial grandson like you. Fortunately, he's still alive, otherwise, he'd jump out of his grave because of you."

Jungkook was infuriated. "What do you mean?"

'Is she trying to say that I'm unfilial?'

Y/N waved her hands innocently and looked at Jisso regretfully. "Sister-in-law, it seems we can't give Grandpa that gift anymore. Mr. Jeon is unfilial and unsympathetic. He insists on vying with me. Not only is he ungentlemanly, he lacks compassion too..."

"Hah..."

Jungkook gritted his teeth loudly and thought, 'How dare this woman insult me on my territory? She must have a death wish.'

"Taehyung is at least still filial towards Grandpa. That's one attribute of his that's better than you." At this point, Y/N shook her head and said, "Sister-in-law, let's go."

With a pale face, Jungkook stopped Y/N with huge displeasure. "Second Young Madam Kim, since you like it, I won't compete with you for it. You may take it."

Y/N didn't answer and instead slowly took out an invitation card from her bag. "I wanted to invite you actually. Mr. Jeon, if you pay for the item too, take this invitation card and come attend Grandpa's birthday banquet..."

'Y/N wants to invite me to Old Master Kim's birthday banquet?'

The Kim Group and Jeon Corporation were at odds against each other and it was rare for Jungkook and Taehyung to even appear at the same place. Yet, she was inviting him to the territory of the Kim Family.

However...

The thought of it alone got him really excited.

Jungkook grinned sinisterly and said, "I'll buy this painting for Old Master Kim then. I'll take it as a little token from me."

'Damn!'

'Seriously?'

'Mr. Jeon is not really going to attend Master Kim's birthday party, is he?'

Y/N's eyebrows twitched and she walked over with tiny steps to hand the invitation to Jungkook. "Thank you on behalf of Grandpa, Mr. Jeon. Also..."

With a cold gaze in her eyes, her smile stiffened and she inched closer to Jungkook to the point that they could only hear each other. "You're a rogue and coincidentally, I'm a bandit. Do you know what bandits do? They specialize in murder and arson. You were nothing when I started being a bandit. If you look down on me, be careful I might give you a huge beating immediately."

She remembered what Jungkook had said during the interview previously.

'He looked down on me, huh?'

Hmph!

Jungkook snapped back to his senses only after Y/N left.

'This woman is so damn wild!'

'She's just like a wild feline. Where did Taehyung get this treasure from?'

Jungkook's affiliation with the triads and his bad temper made everyone in the city scared to provoke him.

Taehyung was an exception.

But now, even Taehyung's wife had the guts to assert dominance over him.

The secretary went forward cautiously and said, "Mr. Jeon, the money has been paid. Do you want to attend Old Mr. Kim's birthday banquet?"

Jungkook suddenly laughed and said, "Yes, why not?"

'Right, that woman hasn't told me about the origin of that bangle!'

"Go and stop that woman for me!"

Jungkook suddenly ordered, after which the secretary hurriedly nodded and rushed out of the venue.

Y/N and Jisso had just collected the items they bought at the auction.

"Y/N, you're pretty awesome, you made Jungkook break the bank twice."

Y/N said casually, "Mr. Jeon is handsome and kind, I can't help it if he wants to pay."

'Uh...'

Jisso had a gut feeling that Y/N seemed to have a feud with Jungkook, to be precise, it seemed that Jungkook had offended Y/N.

"Grandpa usually likes to collect famous paintings. This painting that you picked is great, I believe Grandpa will like it."

'I don't care if he likes it or not. I didn't have to pay anyway.'

Y/N seemed to be the big winner of the auction this time. Not only did she earn 2 million Won for nothing, she even got Jungkook to pay for Old Master Kim's gift.

While chatting and giggling with Jisso and getting ready to get inside the car, a few men in black suddenly dashed over to surround the two of them.

Seeing this, Jisso frowned and said with some austerity in her tone, "What are you trying to do?"

Jungkook's secretary soon rushed over and bowed to the two of them respectfully. "Young Madam Kim, Second Young Madam Kim, Mr. Jeon still has some things to ask the two of you. We'll have to hold you back a little. Please wait a moment before you leave."

Jisso looked at Y/N and placed the gift back inside the car after Y/N nodded.

Jungkook had already removed his blazer and was now wearing a white shirt with two buttons unbuttoned. There rosary necklace he was wearing around his neck was completely exposed.

He had a cigarette in his mouth and his hands in the pockets of his trousers, looking extremely roguish.

"Mr. Jeon, is there anything else?"

Jungkook looked at Young Madam and snubbed the cigarette butt. "Second Young Madam Kim, you seem to have forgotten something. Can you tell me the origin of the bangle?"

Y/N stifled a yawn lazily and said, "Oh, the crew bought it casually from a roadside stall. The bangle matches your aura. Otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to bring myself to put it up for auction."

Jungkook's face turned sullen.

'From the roadside stall?'

'I spent 2 million Won on an item from the roadside stall?'

'What does she mean it matches my aura?'

'Is she trying to say that I'm on the same level as a good from a roadside stall?'

Glancing at her sinisterly, he said, "Woman, you have three seconds to apologize."

"Why should I apologize?"

'She has the cheek to ask why?'

Jungkook burst into laughter and said, "How dare you put an item from the roadside stall up for auction? You even cheated me out of two million Won. If you apologize, I won't hold it against you. Otherwise..."

Jungkook squinted and began moving his limbs.

Hearing this, Jisso's face immediately turned pale. Jungkook was known for being a rogue and he would never hesitate to hit anyone who provoked him, even if she was a woman.

"Y/N, why don't I..."

Y/N shielded Jisso behind her without showing any signs of panic. "Mr. Jeon, did you forget that you agreed to buy it on your own accord? Also, since when have I lied to you? Did I ever say that this bangle is extremely valuable?"

"It's just a bangle from the roadside stall. Why did you boast that it was from the Black Cloud Fortress?"

Y/N answered solemnly, "Yeah, it's from the Black Cloud Fortress. That's the name of my room. I wore this bangle in my room. Doesn't that make the origin of this bangle the Black Cloud Fortress?"

Jungkook's face grew even more sullen. "Didn't you say that it was from a 500-year-old tree?"

"That was a wild guess. Trust you to believe it."

As she spoke, Y/N rolled her eyes at Jungkook.

'Damn it.'

He was at a loss for words for a rebuttal!

"Maybe, you haven't gone around to ask about me. Mr. Jeon, I'm the last person you should trust! I'm really not trustworthy, Mr. Jeon!" Y/N exclaimed with a helpless expression.

It was the first time he had seen such an evil person who deceived him.

Jungkook felt that Y/N was too difficult to deal with. 'What kind of an oddball did Taehyung marry?'

"Second Young Madam Kim, are you very short of money? Why does it seem like you are quite strapped for cash?"

While being poked, Y/N's face turned sullen as she was displeased.

"Yeah, I'm poor, so what? Mr. Jeon, do you plan to generously sponsor me and give me some money?"

'How can Taehyung's daughter-in-law be poor?'

Jungkook suddenly remembered that Y/N seemed to have said that Taehyung was stingy previously.

'So does he really mistreat his wife?'

Seeing the infuriation on Y/N's face, Jungkook laughed meanly and gibed, "Tsk, Mr. Kim is making money every day his wife doesn't even have money to buy anything at an auction. He's too unkind and heartless. Second Young Madam Kim, since your husband treats you so poorly, why don't you just divorce him?"

Hearing this, Jisso glared at Jungkook threateningly and said, "Mr. Jeon, please mind your words."

Jungkook shrugged his shoulders.

Y/N suddenly smiled sweetly. "Sure, we can get a divorce. Mr. Jeon, will you provide for me?"

Jungkook was stunned to see her smile and he thought, 'This woman's smile is so damned charming.'

"Second Young Madam Kim, if you get divorced and find it hard to get by, I won't mind giving you some financial support but since you have the ability to make Lee Dong-wook's film rise to fame, I believe you also have the ability to make money."

'Aren't you very capable?'

'You cheated me out of three million Won!'

"Earning my own money is not as interesting as being a kept woman." Y/N stepped forward and placed a hand on Jungkook's shoulder. Casting him a sultry gaze, she said, "Don't you think so, Mr. Jeon?"

Staring at Y/N's face from a close distance, Jungkook's heart skipped a beat.

'Is Y/N asking to be my kept woman?'

"Mr. Jeon, we'll see you at the birthday banquet in a few days!"

Y/N blew him another kiss and got inside the car, twisting her hips.

Jungkook finally snapped back to his senses only when the red car zoomed away.

'Damn it!'

'I was actually teased by Taehyung's wife!'

As Old Master Kim's birthday banquet drew closer, all the people who lived in the Kim Family estate got incredibly busy. Y/N was probably the most relaxed one.

It was the day of the broadcast of the variety show that she was featured in.

After dinner, Kai and Jennie sat on the sofa, keeping their eyes fixed on the television.

According to the information leaked by the netizens, Y/N showcased her talent on the show.

Y/N didn't have any talent other than being sharp-tongued and good at fighting.

Surely she wouldn't fight and argue with others on the show, right?

Usually, Kai and Jennie would go out to meet their friends whenever they had free time. Jisso discovered that the two of them seemed to have been acting differently the past few days.

It was rare to see them at home but lately, she had been seeing them everyday and they would sensibly go home after school and work everyday.

"What are you guys looking at?"

Jennie pulled Jisso down to the seat and said, "The variety show that Second Sister-in-law is featured in is going to be aired soon. I heard that there's going to be a talent showcase segment. Sister-in-law, do you want to go with me?"

'Y/N is filming a variety show?'

'She has a personal talent too?'

Jisso was interested too and handed the remaining tasks to Zhang Guoquan. "Sure, let's watch it together."

It was finally the start of the variety show. Hearing the merry tune, Y/N went over with her snacks.

After the first segment and a series of advertisements, it was finally Y/N's turn to shine.

The host was looking at her benevolently and saying, "Y/N, what talent do you wish to showcase next?"

Y/N grabbed the microphone expressionlessly and answered coldly, "Breaking a brick on someone's chest."

'Huh?'

'What?'

Kai thought, 'I didn't see that coming!'

Jennie thought, 'Second Sister-in-law is so impressive, she even stands out from others when it comes to showcasing her talent and performing!'

Jisso thought, 'Sister-in-law seems to be good at martial arts.'

Y/N really got someone to bring a brick to the stage, which she then broke on the poor Jimin's chest.

The three of them stared at the TV screen attentively and even Zhang Guoquan and the maids in the house stopped what they were doing.

Bang...

Y/N seemed to have effortlessly smashed the brick on Jimin's chest and it broke just like that...

It broke into bits.

Everyone in the house inhaled sharply.

They didn't know if others believed that Y/N could break a brick on someone's chest or not, but they knew that Y/N was really capable of doing that!

Y/N knew other martial arts techniques that were even more profound!

It was really not a joke. If there was an apocalypse, Y/N might save the world!

All of a sudden, Y/N said coldly, "I've embarrassed myself."

"..."

"Y/N's talent is really special," Jisso said smilingly.

"Second Sister-in-law, it's been hard on you," Jennie said, taking the initiative to massage her shoulders.

"Um... I've already informed the artist management department. From now on, they'll accept all magazine shoots and stuff like that on your behalf," Kai said as he showed Y/N his conversation with the artist manager.

Y/N felt that she really had to carry on her bandit business here to get rid of evil for the greater good!

Recently, the news of Old Mr. Kim's birthday banquet appeared frequently on various forums and websites, and many people revealed the guest invitation list that they obtained through some insider sources.

As expected, they were all big shots.

"I really want to attend the birthday banquet, I just want to take a look at the few big shots from afar."

"I'm so envious. I'm not capable enough to be born with a golden spoon in my mouth like Miss Kim but will I have the chance to be Old Master Kim's granddaughter-in-law? If not, I can marry his great grandson too!"

"I really envy Second Young Madam Kim. Did you save the planet in your previous life to be able to marry Mr. Kim?"

"To be honest, I don't mind marrying Miss Kim either. I'm not picky, I don't mind any gender and I can be both dominant and submissive."

Tomorrow would be the day of Old Master Kim's birthday banquet. He was currently on the way home with Jin while Y/N was all dressed up and waiting at the door for their arrival together with the juniors of the Kim Family.

However...

"What lousy high heels are these? They're hurting my feet. Since we're at home, why don't I go upstairs to change out of them?"

Y/N tugged the cheongsam dress that she was wearing and couldn't help but stomp her feet.

'It's just a homecoming, must it be so grand? These wealthy families are just a pain in the ass with those fancy rules of theirs.'

Fearing that Y/N would vent her anger on Old Master Kim, Jennie said, "Second Sister-in-law, why don't you change into a pair of flats? Grandpa has always had strict rules, but he treats you very well. I'm sure he won't let you be mistreated."

'They all say that the old man treats me well,so, how well does he treat me?'

'I don't see him buying me a house or transferring me money?'

'Forget it if I have to wear high heels to look pretty when I go out but since we're at home, why do I have to wear this? They're crazy."

"Sister-in-law, will Second Brother come home with Grandpa?" Kai asked.

Jisso shook her head and said, "Taehyung has something to attend to. Grandpa said that he will be attending the birthday banquet tomorrow."

"It'd be good if he don't come back too."

Y/N said coldly, "I'm just scared that I can't help myself when I see him."

Kai and Jennie's eyelids twitched. They were well aware of the feud between the two of them.

'Second Brother is so mean. Second Sister-in-law succeeded in her investment and she earned a huge fortune too. Why is her black card still terminated?'

Jennie felt even more aggrieved because Taehyung had terminated her card too.

She was genuinely poor now. Had she known earlier, she would have told Y/N to credit the dividends to another account.

Suddenly, the tightly shut iron gate opened and several low-profile luxurious black cars were driven in slowly.

The first was Kim ji-woong and his arm was still hanging.

Kim ji-woong walked towards the car and opened the car door respectfully.

Wearing a white lab coat and still looking like a decent scum, Jin alighted from the car and bent forward slightly to bow.

"Grandpa, we're here."

Finally, Y/N saw the legendary Old Master Kim.

The former Y/N did not have a deep impression of him, but rumor had it that he was nursing his ailment on a private island.

Old Master Kim's name was Kim Jae Wook and he used to be a powerful and influential figure in his younger days. He had a massive amount of wealth and was a shrewd person with all sorts of means.

Kim Jae Wook was now 80 years old. Despite having a full head of white hair, he still looked extremely energetic.

He was dressed in a white Traditional Korean costume with a cane in hand. He had thick eyebrows and a menacing look in his cloudy eyes. He stood still, emitting a mighty and formidable aura.

Kim Jae Wook's domineering aura was almost comparable to that of the mighty generals of her era.

Jin helped Kim Jae Wook slowly to the door.

"Grandpa, the tea is ready, please come in." Jisso consciously walked to the other side of Kim Jae Wook to support him.

Kai behaved in a slightly formal manner as he bowed respectfully. "Welcome home, Grandpa."

Jennie was much less nervous as she smiled brilliantly and said, "Grandpa, you're finally back. Third Brother bullies me all the time."

Kai glared at her.

Kim Jae Wook nodded before finally looking at Y/N.

Y/N didn't answer him and instead stared at him attentively with her hands behind her back.

"Y/N, are you unhappy to see me?"

Kim Jae Wook took the initiative to strike a conversation with Y/N who smiled and looked him in the eye naturally. "No, I just think you've become even more assertive than before."

He found Y/N to be somewhat different. In the past, she would never dare to make eye contact with him.

"I heard that you've invested in a film yourself and the box office sales are soaring. Not bad."

"You're being too kind, Grandpa. Let's head inside."

Y/N gestured for him to enter.

Kim Jae Wook was indeed very nice to her as he told her to sit down beside him just after he took his seat.

"That brat Taehyung still hasn't contacted you yet?"

Y/N thought about it and said, "He has, somewhat."

"That's good, if he treats you badly, just let me know."

Kim Family had an intimidating aura and so, the majority of the younger generation of the Kim Family were afraid of him and would be extra cautious about what they said to him.

However, Y/N...

"Grandpa, you should really teach Taehyung a good lesson. He's so stingy. If not for Jennie's and Jun-ho's help, the film probably wouldn't have been successful."

"Oh, is that so? Are you very close to Jun-ho?"

There was a look of curiosity in Kim Jae Wook's eyes after he heard her words.

"He wants me to protect him, so it's only right that he pays me protection fees."

'That's shocking. Y/N can barely protect herself. When has she started protecting others?'

"Seems like Y/N is on good terms with Jun-ho. Does Taehyung know about this?"

The Jun Family didn't get along with the Kim Family either because Jun-ho's father had repeatedly tried to cooperate with the Kim Group but was rejected for being too despicable.

Y/N asked with a look of bewilderment, "Does he have to know?"

Kim Jae Wook was stunned and he couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Previously, Kai told him that Y/N had changed drastically and he was curious to know how exactly she had changed. Now it seems that she had really changed and become more interesting than before.

He preferred the way Y/N was now.

After having a casual chat with Y/N, Kim Jae Wook looked at Jin and Jisso who were seated opposite.

Both of them were occupying a corner of the sofa, leaving the middle completely empty.

"Jin, Jisso, how have you two been lately?"

Jisso subconsciously looked at Jin and said with a smile, "Grandpa, we're doing well, don't worry."

Jin still looked as smart and gentle as usual but there was a cold gaze in his eyes under his spectacle lens. "We're alright."

Jisso was dignified and poised, and was capable of handling the matters at home well. Kim Jae Wook had always been pleased with her.

After looking at his granddaughter-in-law, Kim Jae Wook turned to look at his grandson again. "I'm the least worried about you two. Jin, you're already in your early thirties, don't you plan to have a baby?"

At the mention of babies, Jisso began to look awkward. Subconsciously clutching at the hem of her skirt and forcing herself to smile, she replied, "Grandpa, Jin has been busy with work and I've been furthering my studies abroad too, so..."

"No matter how busy you are, you ought to take care of your family and bear children too." Becoming stern all of a sudden, Kim Jae Wook gripped his walking stick tightly and knocked it against the ground. "I spoke to your father over the phone a couple of days ago and he hopes that you two will focus on your family for now. Jisso, you're the only daughter that your parents have and they've been wanting a grandchild since a long time ago. I'm getting old too and my days are numbered. Is it that difficult to fulfill my wish of having a great-grandchild?"

Being put in a difficult spot, Jisso looked at Jin.

Pretending like he didn't see that, Jin stood up and bowed to Kim Jae Wook. "Grandpa, I have a research report to write. I'll head upstairs first."

Kim Jae Wook chided with fury in his eyes, "You rascal..."

Y/N caught sight of the disappointment on Jisso's face.

Jisso and Jin did not share a close and loving relationship, unlike what the rumors claimed.

At least, Jin didn't quite fancy Jisso.

Y/N somehow felt that she was in the same boat as Jisso.

However, she was very different from Jisso.

She had gotten involved halfway and didn't have any feelings for Taehyung but Jisso obviously fancied Jin a lot.

'Ah, are all men blind? Jisso is such a gentle and elegant beauty but he'd rather ignore her and go for girls who have gone under the knife and have faces full of fillers!'

'This is outrageous!'

"Sister-in-law, there are heartless men everywhere, there's no point in giving up the entire forest for a lousy tree. After Grandpa's birthday banquet, I'll take you to unwind... I mean, I'll take you to live a carefree life and experience the joy of the world."

Jin who had already walked to the stairway, couldn't help but turn around.

'Did Y/N just call me a heartless man?'

'Did she call me lousy too?'

Kim Jae Wook was astonished. Y/N criticized his grandson in front of him and even tried to coerce his granddaughter-in-law to find another man...

'When has Taehyung's wife become so interesting?'

Jennie got excited and exclaimed, "Second Sister-in-law, I want to go too. I happen to be on a break now!"

Y/N glanced at her coldly and said, "Go have fun with your beloved senior. You're not fit to go out with Sister-in-law."

"We've already broken up, Second Sister-in-law, I've already learned my lesson. You can't be like this."

Jennie felt extremely aggrieved. Rumor had it that girls of wealthy families had high tendencies of being retarded and it seemed that it was true!

'I'm totally a retard. I actually got deceived by that bastard Woo-jin and ended up in such a terrible state. I feel terrible too, okay!?"

"By the way, what's the matter with that Woo-jin?"

Kim Jae Wook finally recalled the fact that Kai had previously informed him that Jennie had gotten into a romantic relationship but broken up.

Jennie shook her head vigorously and said, "Grandpa, it's nothing much. I was just too silly to have trusted the wrong person. Grandpa, I was wrong. I won't trust a random man easily again."

"Have you broken up completely? Are you sure that you won't give in if that man comes back and tries to reconcile with you?"

Jennie was shaking her head vigorously.

"No, no, I won't, I swear!"

Kim Jae Wook looked at Kai and asked sternly, "What about you? How many times did you change your girlfriend when I wasn't around?"

He knew that sooner or later it would be his turn to be questioned.

Kai sat upright and said, "Grandpa I've been a conscionable man for a long time."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes, ask Taemin if you don't believe me."

Lee Taemin was Kai's best friend, whose family engaged in foreign trade. Just like Kai, he was a rich heir.

"Hmph, you're not getting any younger. It's time that you marry a good girl and build a family of your own."

"Grandpa, there aren't that many good girls these days. Do you think all girls are like First Sister-in-law?"

'Huh?'

Y/N raised her eyebrow and looked askance at Kai. "What do you mean, are you saying that I'm not a good girl?"

Kai met Y/N's gaze, clearly telling him, 'You're finished if you dare to tell on me.'

"No, Second Sister-in-law, you're absolutely unique."

'That's more like it.'

Kim Jae Wook realized that in the two months that he had been absent from home, Kai and Jennie seemed to have become extra respectful towards Y/N.

Even Jin praised them when he was inside the car.

Although Jin had a decent appearance, he was not easy to get along with.

It was a bright and sunny day.

Kim Jae Wook's birthday banquet was just round the corner.

The large Kim Family mansion was decorated with various lights and decorations, and the spacious lawn was also filled with wine and delicacies.

One after another, luxurious cars were driven over and parked outside the mansion.

The rich, wealthy, and prominent figures came out of the car with their wives and children, carrying bags of gifts of various sizes.

Kai invited the top styling team of the nation to doll up the women in the family.

Jennie was given a young and energetic, princess-themed outfit and look that made her look particularly sweet.

On the other hand, Jisso dressed elegantly like a light blue long cheongsam dress which accentuated her svelte figure.

"Sister-in-law, you're so beautiful." Jennie couldn't help help but give Jisso a thumbs up when she saw her. "Is Second Sister-in-law not ready yet?"

Jisso shook her head and said, "I guess she'll take a while longer.

Y/N had just thrown a tantrum.

'What kind of a weirdo is that stylist? He chose a bath towel for me!'

At this moment, the stylist was staring at the dress on the sofa that Y/N described as a bath towel, flabbergasted.

It was a bandeau gown that was designed by an internationally-renowned designer, and it was the one and only piece in the world. Yet, Y/N called it a towel.

'This dress may be white in color and velvety but how does it look like a towel?'

'It's clearly gorgeous and sexy.'

After a long time, the maid brought over a bunch of dresses.

The stylist trembled and picked out a long one. "Second Young Madam Kim, do you think the dress is okay?"

Y/N glanced at it and said, "It's a proper dress, why do you have to cut off the piece of fabric at the back? Does the Kim Family need this fabric? No, you must change it."

'This is a backless design that's in trend and popular now!'

'Second Young Madam Kim, who is the weirdo!?'

'The dress I chose is coveted by many wealthy men's wives who can't even get their hands on it!'

After being in a dilemma for nearly an hour, Y/N finally decided on a dress.

It was a long red dress with a breathtaking design that looked particularly eye-catching on Y/N.

Y/N had chosen that dress herself.

After doing her hair and makeup, the stylist stared at Y/N who was in front of the mirror and couldn't help but sigh. 'No wonder Second Young Madam Kim wasn't satisfied with the dress I chose. This red dress really suits her too well.'

Red was a difficult color to pull off, especially the shade of red of that she was wearing. Those who lacked elegance would make it seem tacky.

Y/N had a good complexion, a pretty face, and a wonderful figure.

"Second Young Madam Kim, you will definitely be stunningly gorgeous when you go out in this."

While chewing on gum, Y/N raised her chin proudly and said, "I've always been very confident."

The lawn was already crowded with people. Kai, Jin, and the others were standing among the crowd.

Zhang Guoquan walked over and muttered while Kim Jae Wook smiled and looked at the gate of the mansion. "My two granddaughters-in-law and granddaughter have already gotten ready. Ladies, if you find yourselves getting bored, you may go chat with them. My eldest granddaughter-in-law is learned in business, perhaps she can share her experience with you."

'Is the mysterious Second Young Madam Kim of the Kim Family, who has been in the limelight of the media recently, going to make an appearance?'

Everyone on the scene looked over in the direction of Kim Jae Wook's gaze.

Three beautiful figures slowly appeared in front of everyone.

They had met Jennie and Jisso before so they could easily guess that the beautiful woman in red who was on Jisso's left, was Second Young Madam Kim.

Her skin was as fair as snow and her beautiful eyebrows were slightly curved.

Her features were exquisite and her gaze seemed mindless.

'Second Young Madam Kim is so beautiful, it's no wonder she's the wife of Taehyung!'

"Second Sister-in-law, don't worry, all the people present are wealthy and authoritative figures. No one will pay attention to the entertainment industry, especially younger artists like you, so you won't be recognized. Even if anyone recognizes you, they won't dare to spout nonsense and spread the word."

Jennie bent over and whispered.

"Do you mean that I'm not famous enough?"

"No!"

'In fact, Second Sister-in-law, you really aren't famous enough!'

Of course Y/N knew that she really wasn't that famous, but she just found that it was really too much fun to tease Jennie every now and then!

"I really didn't expect Second Young Master Taehyung's wife to be so beautiful. Old Master Kim, congratulations on having two such excellent granddaughters-in-law."

"Second Young Madam Kim is in good shape. I've been curious about Mr. Kim's wife ever since I heard the news about his marriage. She's indeed very extraordinary!"

"Yeah, Old Master Kim, you're so lucky to have such beautiful granddaughters-in-law. Your granddaughter is so meticulous too."

Everyone began to sing praises about Y/N in a bid to suck up to them.

"Y/N, do you see the people next to Grandpa? I'll introduce you to them. You just have to remember their surnames, you don't have to remember the others."

Jisso said thoughtfully as she brought Y/N through the crowd.

Y/N nodded. The upper class circle was neither large nor small. A top wealthy family like the Kim Family would only be in close contact with a few families. Hence, she really didn't have to bother remembering the names of the others.

That was the good thing about marrying into a wealthy family. If one wanted to marry into one, they ought to choose the one that's at the top of the hierarchy.

Y/N felt almost like an animal in the zoo.

Suddenly, someone shouted, "Jungkook is here."

Everyone consciously made way for him.

Clad in a gray suit with a large pair of sunglasses on his face, Jungkook strode in under the protection of two bodyguards.

He took big steps and looked overbearing and domineering.

Kim Jae Wook was a bit surprised to see Jungkook and he asked, "Did we send Jungkook an invitation?"

He turned his head to look at Jin.

Jin pursed his lips and answered, "I'm not sure."

"Grandpa, I invited Mr. Jeon to come."

Y/N explained smilingly, "Previously, I went to Mr. Jeon's auction and Mr. Jeon wanted me to send his well wishes to you. I was thinking that it'd be inappropriate for me not to give him an invitation."

In a moment of epiphany, Kim Jae Wook exclaimed, "Oh, I see!"

"Yes, I was being perfunctory at first, I didn't expect Mr. Jeon to really show up. Well, he's still a guest after all, let's receive him."

Y/N's voice was quite loud, and everyone around heard her.

'Jungkook actually let Second Young Madam Kim relay his well wishes to Old Master Kim? Does the Jeon Family intend to patch up with the Kim Family?'

'If the Jeon Family and Kim Family really made up...'

'Wouldn't the two corporations form an invincible combo?'

As soon as Jungkook walked towards them, he paused in his tracks and had a sullen expression on his face.

'When have I ever told her to send my well wishes?'

'What does she mean by just giving me an invitation perfunctorily?'

'I even put my dignity aside and showed up.'

'Damn it!'

"Yes, he is a guest. Jungkook, long time no see." Kim Jae Wook took the initiative to extend his hand for a handshake with Jungkook. "How has your grandfather's health been lately?"

Jungkook humphed coldly and said, "He's alive and well. He has beautiful babes to accompany him all day. He seems to be doing better than you."

Y/N watched their interaction while blinking.

'There is something fishy. There's something fishy between this old man and the family of rogues, the Jeon Family!'

She pulled Jennie and waved at her. "Jennie, come here."

Jennie hurriedy moved towards Y/N and asked, "Second Sister-in-law, do you have any orders for me?"

Y/N leaned closer to Jennie mysteriously and asked, "What's going on with your grandfather and Jungkook's family?"

Jennie coughed and thought, 'Is Second Sister-in-law unaware of this?'

'Isn't this an open secret?'

Seeing Jennie's expression, Y/N's eyebrows twitched. 'There really is something fishy.'

"Jungkook's grandfather and our grandpa used to be rivals in love when they were younger!"

'Huh?'

Y/N's eyes widened and she felt that she had smelled some gossip. "You have three minutes to give me detailed explanation."

"Our grandmother was very popular with men in her younger days. Grandpa and Jungkook's grandfather were two of her many suitors. In the beginning, Grandma preferred Jeon's grandfather because he was carefree and not restrained by his family. He was very knowledgeable too. As a young lady of a wealthy family who has been living a sheltered and cloistered life, she's always yearned for such a lifestyle."

'Oh I see.'

"Why did she end up getting married to your grandfather?"

"Second Sister-in-law, he's our grandfather," Jennie corrected solemnly. "Grandpa was born to a prestigious family, so he grew up under strict discipline. Since he was subjected to strict rules, he became dull and boring. He wasn't good at expressing his feelings too. Well, young girls like hearing sweet talk and romantic gestures. However, Grandma's parents insisted that Grandma marry Grandpa. Otherwise, my brothers and I wouldn't have been here!"

Y/N was feeling a little regretful. 'It'd be good if you people never existed.'

After hearing the cheesy love story, she felt that Jungkook's grandfather was quite compatible with the late Old Mrs. Kim.

'Why can't a rogue have true love!?'

Ever since ancient times, rogues and bandits had always been the same type of people. She was feeling very unjust for Jungkook's grandfather at the moment.

"What happened afterwards?"

Jennie sighed and said, "After Grandpa and Grandma got married, Jungkook's grandfather married a random woman, who's Jungkook's grandmother. Later on, he went about his philandering days and now, he's surrounded by young and beautiful women!"

"Don't Jungkook and Taehyung detest each other? Is it also because of a woman?"

Jennie looked at Y/N quitely. 'Second Sister-in-law, please don't spout nonsense casually, especially such shocking statements.'

'Second Brother is very pure, you're the only woman he loves in this life.'

The guests arrived one after another. Kim Jae Wook took a look at his wristwatch and asked, "Is Taehyung not here yet?"

Jin hung up and said, "He just got off the plane and is on is way here now. Grandpa, if you're tired, you can go back in to get some rest."

Kim Jae Wook thought about it and nodded. "That's good too."

Almost as soon as he sat down, all the wealthy heirs arrived with gifts.

In a short while, the empty seats behind Kim Jae Wook were occupied with a small pile of gifts.

After all the guests sent their gifts, it was finally the Kim Family's turn.

The Kim Family was well-connected with many friends and relatives but most of them were overseas. Only a few remained in the nation.

When it was Y/N's turn to present the gifts, she first looked at Jungkook who was sitting on the sofa next to Kim Jae Wook.

Jungkook stared at her with a burning gaze, but to be precise, he was staring at the painting in her hand.

"Grandpa, this is the gift that I've meticulously picked out for you. I've been through so much for this painting!" Y/N said with much exaggeration.

Kim Jae Wook grabbed the painting smilingly and lifted the cloth that was covering it.

When he saw the painting of a lifelike tiger, Kim Jae Wook's eyes lit up, "Not bad, not bad, Y/N, that's very thoughtful of you. How did you get this painting?"

"Speaking of the source of this painting, it's also thanks to Mr. Jeon that I managed to obtain it. If not for the fact that Mr. Jeon has gentlemanly decided to let me have the painting during the auction and generously paid for it, you wouldn't have gotten it today, Grandpa."

'Seems like this was bought from the Jeon Family's auction.'

Jungkook felt that he had been used by Y/N.

'I clearly paid for the painting as a token of filial piety for Kim Jae Wook. Why has it become a result of of Y/N's good judgment? Why is she getting all the credit?'

He looked at Y/N with displeasure while she smiled at him radiantly. "Mr. Jeon, you're such a generous person. No wonder you're the CEO of Jeon Corporation."

"I..."

"Huh? Didn't Mr. Jeon bring a gift for grandpa? I thought being the rich person he is, Mr. Jeon would definitely bring at least ten gifts."

'How is this humane?'

Jungkook glowered at Y/N and said with a mirthless smile, "I forgot to prepare the gifts."

'Isn't that painting a gift from me?'

'I was cheated out of my two million Won too.'

Jisso never knew that her sister-in-law, Y/N, was such... a quick-witted person.

Kim Jae Wook said, "Your attendance is enough, no need for the gifts."

Jungkook's appearance at his birthday banquet would already bring great benefit to both parties, as it would lead others to thinking that there might be a chance that the Jeon Corporation and Kim Group would make up with each other, thus driving up the stock prices.

"I'm mainly here because of Second Young Madam Kim. I discovered that she's too charming." Jungkook looked at Y/N and shook his head regretfuly. "It's such a shame I met her too late. She has already become someone else's wife, ah..."

'What does Jungkook mean by this?'

'Is he openly confessing his love to Second Young Madam Kim in the presence of the Kim Family?'

Everyone present was stunned.

Y/N folded her arms and made eye contact with Jungkook calmly. "Mr. Jeon, do you carry a torch for me?"

'Carry a torch for you? What a joke I just want to snatch you away from Taehyung to upset him.'

'Besides... This woman is indeed very interesting, she's crazier than I am.'

"Second Young Madam Kim has really attracted me with her beauty. If I don't strive to court her, I might regret it for life."

Sensing the curious gazes that were cast on her, Y/N secretly clenched her fists.

'What does Jungkook mean by this? Does he want to make everyone hate me?'

'Damn it, does he really think I'm a pushover?'

"So, you've taken a liking to me."

Jungkook did not deny and instead smiled roguishly. "I'll snatch and get my hands on whatever I like. I don't care about ethics and morality, Second Young Madam Kim, don't you agree?"

'Wow...'

'Jungkook has got a similar temper to me.'

"I didn't know that you like my wife so much, Mr. Jeon."

Suddenly, a cold and indifferent voice sounded. It was low, alluring, and oppressive.

'This is...'

Y/N raised her eyebrows and quickly looked at the door.

The first to enter were Kim ji-woong and Zhang Guoquan, who were standing on both sides of the door.

Immediately after that, she saw a pair of long and slender legs.

She slowly moved her eyes up his slender waist, followed by his chiseled jaw, thin lips, and high nose bridge...

Finally, she met his pair of mysterious eyes that were dark like the deep ocean.

The man looked younger than thirty, and was donning an immaculately-trimmed black suit. He was walking in composedly with one hand in the pocket of his trousers and the other by his side. The wristwatch on his wrist was particularly eye-catching.

He had an excellent aura, was poised, refined, and noble. With his thin lips pressed together slightly, he gave off a cold and menacing vibe that made him seem unapproachable.

"Mr. Kim, you're finally back."

"We haven't met in a long time and you've become even more domineering."

The people around him were in awe.

Taehyung walked straight towards Kim Jae Wook and nodded. "Grandpa."

Extremely pleased with Taehyung, Kim Jae Wook grinned widely when he saw him. "Good that you're back, we've all been waiting for you."

Taehyung nodded and glanced at Y/N calmly before looking at Jungkook.

"I didn't expect that Mr. Jeon would set foot into the Kim Family's territory."

Jungkook shrugged his shoulders nonchalantly. "I'm mainly here for Second Young Madam Kim. She's too charming and I've been missing her like crazy since we parted two days ago. You're very lucky to have such an interesting wife, Mr. Kim."

"My wife is indeed a good catch. Otherwise, why would she have become Second Young Madam Kim?"

Taehyung smirked and finally looked at Y/N.

Y/N was blatantly sizing Taehyung up.

'This dog looks better in person!'

'To be frank, I'm lusting over his body. Why don't I toy with him for a bit before getting a divorce?'

Taehyung still had no idea that the female bandit Y/N had already taken a liking to his body. He had heard a lot about her lately.

After seeing her in person, he admitted that she had changed quite a bit.

At the very least, she no longer looked at him with deep affection like she used to.

"Milady, do you have something to say to Mr. Jeon who's so fond of you?"

The gentle smile on Taehyung's handsome face made him incredibly charming!

Y/N was in a bit of a trance. 'Taehyung looks so dashing when he smiles!'

"Milady?"

Y/N asked with a look of puzzlement, "Who are you calling Milady?"

Still as gentle and poised as ever, Taehyung said, "Who else except you?"

'Eh?'

Y/N thought about it for a long while, finding it hard to wrap her head around it.

'Oh, right, I'm still that dog's wife. There's nothing wrong with him addressing me that way.'

"Tsk, it seems that you and your wife don't have a loving relationship, Mr. Kim. Second Young Madam Kim doesn't even want to admit her identity as your wife."

Jungkook made a particularly sarcastic remark.

Taehyung ignored him and instead sat down beside Y/N. "Indeed, Mr. Jeon is jealous."

Puzzled, Jungkook asked, "Jealous? What for?"

Taehyung cast him a lazy glance. "My wife is such an intelligent woman. It's a shame you can't win her heart."

'Damn it!'

'Taehyung has got such a sharp tongue!'

Jungkook looked at Y/N and secretly swore that he would never lose to Taehyung like his grandfather had lost to Old Mr. Kim.

He had decided that he would work hard to win Y/N over from Taehyung from that day onwards. He was bent on making Y/N divorce Taehyung and then marry him to become Mrs. Jeon!

He combed the hair in front of his forehead with one hand and crossed one leg over the other. Placing both hands on the sofa, he said roguishly, "Second Young Madam Kim is young and beautiful. Unfortunately, Mr. Kim doesn't know how to appreciate her. I happen to be single and I need a wife. Second Young Madam Kim seems to fit my criteria and standards for a wife. Second Young Madam Kim, why don't you divorce Mr. Kim and marry me instead?"

'Damn!'

'Jungkook is too brazen. Second Young Madam Kim's husband is right there and yet, Jungkook is self-righteously telling her to leave him.'

All of a sudden, everyone turned to look at Taehyung.

Taehyung leaned against the couch in a particularly sluggish manner, exuding his nobility. His indifference made it seem like he had never taken Jungkook seriously in the first place.

"Milady, Mr. Jeon is very fond of you. Should you express something?"

'Express something?'

'Hah...'

Y/N squinted and glowered at Jungkook menacingly. "You're not fit to marry me."

Jungkook's smile stiffened.

Taehyung was delighted.

He looked at Y/N with a smile on his face. 'Indeed, you're worthy of being my wife.'

Just as everyone was swooning over Y/N's loyalty towards Taehyung...

"It's already devastating enough to have stepped into the grave of marriage by getting married to Taehyung. Yet, you still want me to jump from this grave to another? Can you make me the richest person in the world or give me immortality? You're so incompetent and you still have the cheek to ask me to marry you. You must be dreaming."

'Idiot, what kind of a fool is this? So what if you're a rogue? I'm a bandit!'

"I'm really not exaggerating, you should be calling me your ancestor!"

Jungkook licked his lower lip. 'It's a pity this woman is not a gangster.'

Taehyung didn't expect to be targeted too. Looking at Jungkook gloatingly, he said, "Mr. Jeon, you heard it, my wife wants you to dream on."

'Damn it Taehyung, I'm dead against you!'

"Second Young Madam Kim, I like how feisty you are. Mr. Kim is very evil, cunning, and brutal. He can be very ruthless too. Second Young Madam Kim, you will only suffer if you continue being with him. I'm still going to stay firm to my stand. If you decide to leave him one day, my doors are open for you. I'll share with you everything that I have."

'Mr. Jeon, you're incredible. You insulted Mr. Kim on his turf!'

Kim Jae Wook was already a little displeased. "Jungkook, Y/N is a great catch, but she is in a loving marriage with Taehyung. They won't allow a third party to come in between them."

"Old Master Kim, you're being too serious. It's the 21st century. We are not as particular as our foremen used to be. As long as the two people are in love with each other, it doesn't matter whether they are married to someone else or not."

The people around them watched the conversation with great interest. It seemed that Jungkook was determined to make a cuckold out of Taehyung!

'Mr. Jeon is so suave and domineering!'

He grinned at Y/N roguishly and said, "I'll wait for Second Young Madam Kim to get a divorce."

Gripping his walking stick tightly, Kim Jae Wook was just about to speak when Taehyung said coldly, "Since you like being a homewrecker, we're in no place to stop you."

Taehyung then glanced at Y/N. "My dear wife, you're so popular with men. I hope you will be careful and avoid going out in the future."

'What does this dog mean?'

'Is he trying to ground me?'

Despite smiling, Y/N had already cursed Taehyung terribly deep down.

"Madam, is there something you're upset about?"

"Damn it, you..."

As soon as Y/N spoke, Jennie hurriedly covered her mouth and risked her life to pull Y/N to the side. "Second Sister-in-law, you can scold him however you'd like in private, but Grandpa's birthday banquet is ongoing now. Everyone here is influential enough to easily take the city by storm. We can't make a fool out of the Kim Family."

Y/N took a deep breath. She understood that, but she couldn't tolerate it!

Taehyung was being too much of a bully!

"Second Sister-in-law, I beg of you, Grandpa is always very generous when he comes home and he'll give us juniors a lot of pocket money under the conditions that we don't upset him. Otherwise, we won't get a single cent."

'Pocket money?'

Y/N's eyes lit up. "How much?"

"At least a million. Grandpa is very generous, if he's in a good mood, he might give us even more."

'Ah this old man is a generous and wealthy man. I can't offend him.'

Y/N clenched her fists and said, "I'll try not to get angry at your brother."

'I'll vent it on someone else.'

After cajoling Y/N and getting her to simmer down, Jennie heaved a sigh of relief and made an 'OK' sign at Jisso. "Second Sister-in-law, let's go over now. Second Brother must have plenty of people to meet this time since he's just returned."

Y/N looked at Taehyung who was being surrounded by others and asked, "Is Taehyung very good at earning money?"

"He's better than Jungkook. Second Brother makes enough to buy an entire city."

'Wow, he's so rich!'

Y/N sighed. 'Unfortunately, he's stingy and no matter how rich he is, it's pointless. He's actually worse than Jungkook.'

'All he has are good looks. Yes... he's got a hot body too.'

Most of the guests present were there for the sake of making connections with the Kim Family. As the CEO of the Kim Group, Taehyung was naturally the center of attention.

"It seems Second Young Madam Kim doesn't have much of a say. Go and chat with Jisso instead and try to build some connections with her," a boss ordered, staring at his wife ferociously.

"Where is Jisso? Getting close to her is the most important. Ignore Second Young Madam Kim and Miss Kim for the time being," a senior executive of a certain firm instructed his wife.

At this moment, Y/N walked past a few people while holding a tray of food.

'Ignore me? Do I seem that insignificant?'

"Hubby, do you find your back a little cold?"

"It might be because of the breeze just now."

"Mr. Zhang, I feel so cold."

"Darling, be good, let's focus on getting close to Jisso now, I'll warm you up tonight."

Y/N looked away and thought, 'I don't even care about a bunch of scumbags like you people!'

Taehyung brushed off the people who went up to try and suck up to him. He then reached out to pinch his temples, only to see that Jungkook was sitting on the sofa and drinking some wine silently.

"Taehyung, what's going on with Jungkook and Y/N?"

Jin asked in a deep voice with his thick eyebrows furrowed slightly, "When did Y/N get involved with Jungkook?"

Taehyung calmly sipped his wine and said, "Big Brother, why don't you ask Kai and Jennie instead?"

Kai and Jennie had innocent expressions.

'We don't know anything!'

'We don't dare to meddle with Second Sister-in-law's affairs!'

Jisso was surrounded by a group of wealthy men's wives while Kim Jae Wook led the three Kim brothers to talk to several prominent figures. On the other hand, Jennie stayed at the side to chat with her friends.

Y/N ate the cake while wandering among the crowd, bored out of her wits!

'The banquets of wealthy families are so boring!'

After thinking about it, she planned to go give Jungkook a hard time. Zhang Guoquan walked over carefully and said, "Second Young Madam Kim, there is a person outside who claims to be your aunt looking for you."

'Aunt?'

'Do I have an aunt?'

With a look of puzzlement, Y/N carefully searched her memories and thought, 'Oh, yes, the original owner does seem to have an aunt.'

"Why is she looking for me?"

"I don't know, she just keeps crying, there should be something urgent."

It was the woman from her uncle's second marriage. She was a gossipmonger and a greedy money-grubber. What else could she have wanted to see her for?

Right after Taehyung made Y/N upset, someone sent herself to the door to vent her anger.

'Indeed, I'm a fairy who's blessed by Heaven!'

"Tell her to come to look for me in the garden at the back."

Zhang Guoquan left and Y/N wandered around the lawn. She stuffed a piece of cake into her mouth and finally grabbed a glass of wine before walking slowly to the garden at the back.

The Kim Family's mansion was large. The back garden was connected to the vegetable garden, and at this moment, the servants have all gone to the front to help. Hence, the place was very quiet.

Y/N looked for a chair and sat down before drinking some wine leisurely.

Soon, Zhang Guoquan came with a middle-aged woman.

She was slightly chubby, but she was wearing a tight green dress, and a dazzling gold belt, making her particularly... eye-catching.

The woman was carefully clutching a designer bag, and after seeing Y/N, she immediately carried the bag in her hand and held her head up.

She was the so-called aunt Se-jung.

When she saw Y/N, Se-jung immediately put on a loving expression like she was a kind elder. "Y/N, I haven't seen you for such a long time. You're getting prettier and prettier."

Y/N glanced at her expressionlessly and said, "Zhang Guoquan, you're dismissed."

Zhang Guoquan knew that Y/N hated him. Hence, he immediately turned around to leave without delay.

Se-jung first scanned her surroundings, her gaze full of amazement. "The Kim Family's mansion is really huge. Will you get lost living here?"

Y/N still remained silent.

"Your uncle owns a small business now, but unfortunately the nation's economy is in the doldrums now. All his money has been spent on stocking goods and he can't withdraw any. It happens that your cousin wants to go overseas to develop."

'There she goes, there she goes, this woman is finally going to start acting.'

Seeing that Y/N was staying silent for a long time, Se-jung thought to herself resentfully, 'You just married into a rich family. What's the big deal?'

"Y/N, can you lend us some money? Your cousin wants to go overseas to study architecture. He's very talented in this. Once your uncle's money is deposited, we'll return it to you immediately."

Y/N sipped on some wine and asked, "Is your son doing well academically?"

She remembered that Se-jung's son had poor grades and his results were worse than Jennie's. How could he do his ancestors proud?
