Y/N and Taehyung shared the same room that night as usual.

Taehyung saw the skeleton that was kicked on the ground at a glance.

"Milady, did you sleep well last night?"

Y/N still didn't know that she had rolled off the bed last night and was carried to the bed by Taehyung.

Seeing Taehyung standing in front of her at this moment, the erotic dream she had last night suddenly appeared in her mind. Y/N couldn't help but blush. She asked, "Of course I slept well. What's the matter? Mr. Kim, didn't you sleep well last night?"

Taehyung nodded and said, "Indeed, I didn't sleep too well."

"Since sharing the same room as me makes you feel so terrible, why don't..."

Y/N stopped at an appropriate juncture and stared at Taehyung with an expectant gaze.

"It's not because I shared the same room as you," Taehyung said with a calm expression as he looked at Y/N. He continued, "I just find it a pity that we didn't get to share the same bed."

???

'Dog, stop trying to push your limits! Once I get Kim Jae Wook's money, it'll be over between us!'

'Ah, when will the old man leave? With him around, I feel so uneasy and I have to be on tenterhooks all the time... all because I'm scared of making him unhappy.'

'I'm at least still living off of the Kim Family now because I can't afford to buy myself a house, some clothes, and delicious food! If that old man throws me out, that'd be worse.'

"Seems like you don't like that skeleton very much."

Y/N hurriedly picked up the skeleton from the ground and held it in her arms. "Who said so? I just don't sleep in a proper position."

Taehyung couldn't help but think to himself, 'Yes, she does look bad when she sleeps. Fortunately, I wasn't the one who slept beside her last night.'

"Did Brother tell you the story of this skeleton when he gave it to you?"

Looking at the skeleton, Y/N shook her head and thought, 'What story can there be behind this stupid thing? Wasn't it mass produced in a factory?'

Taehyung suddenly looked like he had come to a realization. "No wonder you dared to sleep with it."

'So? Tell me what the story is!'

"Madam, if you're curious, I'll tell you after I take a shower."

After saying that, he took his pajamas and went to the bathroom without waiting for Y/N's reaction.

Y/N blinked, sat still in place for a few seconds before punching the bed all of a sudden.

'Damn it! What are you being so arrogant for? You just have more money than me.'

'Well but in the dream... he was indeed... pretty good...'

Y/N was shy.

'He's not going to come out in his pants again later, right? Actually, I didn't take a careful look last night and I've almost forgotten what his figure is like. I must take a good look later.'

Just as he was thinking about it, Taehyung had already opened the door of the bathroom and came out.

Sitting upright with the skeleton in her arms, Y/N immediately looked at the bathroom.

In the end...

'Damn it, he came out fully clothed in a long-sleeved dress shirt and trousers.'

"Madam, do you think I'm overdressed?"

Seeing the disappointed expression on her face, Taehyung couldn't help but tease her.

Taehyung originally thought that Y/N would at least be a little shy, but clearly, he had already underestimated how thick-skinned she could be.

"Yes, finding a man to marry is all for the sake of admiring their beauty. You're already very stingy. I don't expect to get your money, but can't I appreciate your face and figure?"

The corners of Taehyung's mouth twitched slightly.

He surprisingly felt that she had a point.

"Okay, tell me the story of this skeleton."

Taehyung turned around and sat on the sofa with his hands behind his head. Seated languidly in a relaxed position, he asked, "Madam, do you see the number written on the skeleton?"

"It's a number 14, what's the matter?"

"Well, this skeleton belongs to the 14th corpse dissected by Big Brother."

Y/N's hand trembled as she held onto the skeleton.

"What do you mean?"

"Madam, you have no idea that Brother has a side profession, and that is a forensic pathologist."

'Forensic pathologist..."

"If I remember correctly, the corpse should have belonged to an inmate on the death row."

"..."

Seeing that Y/N didn't answer, Taehyung continued, "Three years ago, Brother attended an academic conference overseas and assisted them in determining the identity of a decomposed corpse belonging to a death row inmate who had been on the loose for years. As a reward, they let Brother bring this skeleton back for research."

"Since it was already decomposed, what is there to study and research on?"

'Is he lonely?'

Taehyung smiled and said, "The skeletal structure. He wanted to find out if the method of death would affect the skeletal structure of the corpse."

'Seokjin is such a psycho.'

Y/N suddenly felt a chill all over her body as she looked at the skeleton in her arms, after which she tossed it away frantically.

It was one thing for her to like studying skeletons and another to let a real skeleton sleep next to her in the middle of the night.

"Milady, do you want to sleep in my arms tonight?" Taehyung teased with raised brows.

Y/N subconsciously pulled the quilt tightly over her body. "Sleep in your arms for what?"

"To soothe your wounded heart."

Y/N seethed and said, "You're out of your mind."

After saying that, she leaned backwards and exclaimed, "Dog, I'm very good at martial arts. If you dare to cross the line, I'll castrate you!"

Taehyung found it to be a shame. "My wife, you're indeed different from others."

In the end, it was Taehyung who accompanied Y/N to the hospital.

The two of them were greeted by the director himself when they arrived at the hospital.

"Mr. Kim, Second Young Madam Kim, you two are so loving. Even though you're so busy, you still take the time out to accompany Second Young Madam Kim for a checkup."

'Checkup? What checkup? Who needs a checkup?'

Y/N looked at Taehyung apprehensively while the latter simply nodded indifferently. "It's only my duty."

There were a few nurses behind, and the director started swooning when they saw the esteemed CEO of Kim Group.

'Mr. Kim's wife is so lucky!'

'I'm so envious of Second Young Madam Kim!'

"I've already made all the arrangements. Congratulations, Mr. and Mrs. Kim. Please come with me."

Overwhelmed with confusion, Y/N followed behind him.

Yan Xin was leaning on the hospital bed and looking at the person in front of her with displeasure. "Didn't you say that the Kim family will definitely acknowledge the baby? Are you sure that Second Young Madam Kim is really your niece?"

"That b*tch is simply heartless. Hmph, the Kim Family cares about their pride the most, and once this thing blows up, they'd have to accept you and the baby even if they don't want to, because they'll be compelled by the public."

The person standing in front of Yan Xin's bed was none other than Se-jung, Y/N's so-called aunt.

"Are you sure? Second Young Madam Kim seems to be an actress, recently..."

"I advise you better not to announce the fact that Y/N is Second Young Madam Kim. That little b*tch thinks she can stand firm in the entertainment industry with her abilities so we shall see. Why bother helping her with the publicity by making more people find out her identity?"

'Second Young Madam Kim's aunt is really vicious.'

Yan Xin drank a mouthful of water and said, "Second Young Madam Kim's career has nothing to do with me. I can't be bothered to pay attention to it either. I just need you to ensure that I can marry Kai."

Se-jung suddenly smiled and said, "Of course, as long as you don't forget me when you become his wife..."

"I naturally won't."

The baby indeed didn't belong to Kai.

However, it also existed because of him.

On that day, she was humiliated by her peers who mocked her by saying that Kai definitely wouldn't marry her. Hence, she thought that she should climb onto his plate.

She pulled some connections and managed to contact Kai's friends, and then asked them out to the bar for some fun. She did her best to get Kai drunk and she was initially going to succeed!

When she was reminded of the fact that she got shoved into the elevator by a drunkard and forcefully taken to the room beside Kai's where he violated her, a great sense of humiliation suddenly arose.

In order to marry Kai, she had already paid such a big price, so she must succeed!

On the day of Kim Jae Wook's birthday banquet, she found Se-jung, who had been chased out and was at the entrance. She learned that Se-jung was Y/N's aunt and then deliberately made Se-jung find out that she was carrying Kai's child.

Yan Xin looked at Se-jung who was at the bed and the glint in her eyes dimmed. 'This fool will really resort to anything for money.'

However, the use of public opinion to coerce the Kim family to accept her and the child was indeed quite a good approach.

Suddenly, a nurse screamed at the door.

"It's Mr. Kim and Second Young Madam Kim. Are they here because of Yan Xin?"

"I reckon they must have decided to acknowledge the child out of pressure..."

'Second Young Madam Kim and Mr. Kim are here?'

Yan Xin's eyes lit up and she sat up straight.

Se-jung suddenly seemed rather confident. "Did you see that? I told you I had a way to make the Kim family acknowledge your child. Go ahead and negotiate the terms with that heartless niece of mine. I'll get going."

With a harmless smile, Yan Xin said, "Thank you, Aunt Se-jung. I'll definitely give you some benefits after I marry into their family."

Satisfied with her answer, Se-jung said, "Just wait for the Kim Family to pick you up."

After saying that, she turned to leave smugly, swaying her thick waist.

As soon as Se-jung left, Yan Xin hurriedly picked up her bag that was at the bedside cabinet, put some powder on her face, and then got out of bed slowly to leave. She planned to pretend like they had met by coincidence.

When Taehyung and Y/N passed by Yan Xin's ward, the bedroom door was suddenly pulled open and Yan Xin stumbled out.

Holding onto the railing on the wall with one hand, she looked up and saw the shock in Y/N's eyes. "Second Young Madam Kim, you..."

Before she could finish, she looked at Taehyung again, there was obvious amazement in her eyes. "You must be Mr. Kim. Are you and Second Young Madam Kim here to question me? I didn't expect to run into a reporter here. Don't listen to the nonsense of those netizens. I... If the child is not fated with the Kim Family, I can..."

She wanted to speak but stopped and bit her lower lip while her face turned as pale as a sheet.

However, she stood in place for a long time, but neither of them spoke.

Yan Xin couldn't help but look up while Taehyung's unusually cold voice sounded.

"Lady, you're getting in our way."

Yan Xin was stunned for a moment. "What, what?

"Please get out of the way, you're getting in the way of my wife."

"Mr. Kim, you..." Yan Xin gritted her teeth and secretly clenched her fist. Didn't you and Second Young Madam Kim come here to...

Taehyung looked at her coldly. "I'm here to get a pregnancy test for my wife. Do you have an opinion?"

'Pregnancy test for Second Young Madam Kim?'

Yan Xin was shocked.

'Pregnancy test?'

Y/N subconsciously looked at Taehyung. 'Is there something wrong with you? What pregnancy test? I'm not pregnant.'

"Is Second Young Madam Kim pregnant?"

Yan Xin looked at Y/N's flat belly and thought, 'How is that possible? Didn't Se-jung say that they were separated after getting married?'

"Taehyung... are you mad?"

'I've never slept with you before... What pregnancy test?'

Taehyung reached out to rub Y/N's head and his eyes were full of indulgence. "Don't you want to get pregnant? It'd be good for us to have a checkup."

???

'You dog!'

'Forget it, I can't be bothered. Let's do the more important thing first.'

Y/N forced herself to smile and hugged Taehyung's arm, ignoring the fact that Taehyung's body was stiffening. "Miss Yan, do you have an opinion?"

Yan Xin hadn't recovered from the shock yet. She stammered, "No."

Y/N's face turned sullen and she snapped, "Hurry up and get out of the way then. You take up so much space and yet you're still getting in the way. Don't you know that you have to go to jail for obstructing traffic?"

Frightened by Y/N's suddenly roar of anger, Yan Xin hurriedly stood at the side.

The director and nurses behind thought, 'Second Young Madam Kim is so fierce!'

Taehyung touched Y/N's head and said, "You don't have to bother with these people. Your health is more important."

The nurses, who were surrounding them and watching, thought, 'Wow does Mr. Kim dote on Second Young Madam Kim so much? Ah, he's so affectionate with her! That's such a killer move that melts all hearts, especially since he's so handsome!'

Yan Xin watched as Y/N and Taehyung walked past. Just as they were about to make a turn at the corner, Y/N suddenly turned around and said, "Oh, right, Miss Yan, I can pay for your medical expenses for now. After the DNA test comes out and it's proven that the baby doesn't belong to Kai, remember to pay the bills. The interest isn't high."

'DNA test? Why doesn't the baby belong to Kai!?!'

'Y/N didn't come from a well-to-do family either, why is she allowed to marry into a rich family!?!'

After making a turn at the corner, Y/N suddenly pushed Taehyung towards the wall and supported herself against the wall with one hand while pulling his tie with the other. "Taehyung, how dare you say that I'm getting ready to get pregnant?"

The people behind were startled by her sudden move.

'Wow, Second Young Madam Kim is pulling a kabedon on Mr. Kim!'

Looking at Y/N whose eyes were full of anger, his Adam's apple bobbed a few times, but his voice was still very sexy. "Madam is too lonely. It's good to have a child."

Y/N's eyes were on fire. "You're the one who's lonely, your whole family is lonely!"

"Yes, you're part of my family."

'Screw you!'

Y/N wanted to curse again.

'This dog is really shameless and scheming. No wonder he wants to come to the hospital with me.'

"What should we do about Yan Xin?"

"Take a look at the surveillance camera footage first."

The director found the surveillance camera footage of the place outside Yan Xin's ward.

"Yan Xin was admitted to the hospital at about six in the afternoon yesterday. This is the last footage of her before her hospitalization. I've already sped it up, please have a seat and take a look at it."

Taehyung looked at the screen and said, "Let's watch the footage recorded from eight in the morning."

"Okay."

Finally, the two of them saw Se-jung's figure in the footage.

Y/N sneered, "Indeed, it's Se-jung."

"What do you plan to do?"

Y/N smirked with a bizarre glint in her eyes, "I'll make her lose what she cares about most."

'Doesn't Se-jung want to send her son abroad to further his studies?'

"What about Yan Xin?"

"She's just a troublemaker. Let Kai recall the place that he met Yan Xin."

At this point, Y/N pointed at the surveillance camera footage.

Taehyung immediately figured it out.

'My wife has not only become interesting, she seems to have become a lot smarter too.'

"Why? I told you the Kim Family would definitely do something about the public outrage, right? When do they plan to bring you home? Have you decided on the wedding date?"

When they left just now, she saw the nurses rolling their eyes at her and she felt like a clown, especially after being humiliated by Y/N just now.

'Atrocious.'

"Hey, are you planning to cut me off after making use of me?" Seeing that Yan Xin didn't answer, Se-jung chided hostilely with a grimace.

Yan Xin looked up and glared at her with reddened eyes. "How could you have the cheek to say that? Mr. Kim is here with your dear niece for a pregnancy checkup. They didn't mention a thing about my baby at all."

"Pregnancy checkup?" Se-jung was stunned. "That can't be, Mr. Kim dislikes that b*tch, and he went abroad right after they got married. How can they be here for a pregnancy checkup?"

"Maybe they're getting ready to conceive. Hmph, seems like she's indeed planning to abandon you people who are of no use to her."

'This b*tch Y/N wants to get rid of me? Impossible!'

Gritting her teeth, Se-jung wished that her daughter would replace Y/N, but unfortunately, she was too young.

"You're panicking, huh? That Second Young Madam Kim is not as silly as you imagined."

Se-jung took a deep breath and said, "No matter what, the news has already been published. If you can't marry into the Kim Family, you will face backlash and the Kim Family might even deal with you."

Yan Xin was frightened by her words. Rumor had it that the Kim Family had their own team of guards whose combat power was so strong that even the nobles of foreign countries were wary of them.

It would be a piece of cake for them to ruin her.

'No, that's impossible. There's no turning back for me now, I must become Kai's wife.'

With a look of menace, Yan Xin said, "Since you've already said that we're in the same boat, you should go contact the reporters now and tell them that I've already recovered. Tell them I'm ready for an interview."

'This is quite a ruthless woman. If she gets married into the Kim Family, she might be able to make life hard for that ingrate Y/N, or better yet, chase her out.'

Se-jung smiled hypocritically and said, "Don't worry, Miss Yan. I'll help you contact the reporters now."

Taehyung walked Y/N to the entrance of their home like a gentleman.

Y/N took a few steps forward. Seeing that Taehyung didn't catch up with her, she asked in puzzlement, "Aren't you going to go in?"

"I'm in a rush, my flight's in an hour's time."

'This dog is leaving just like that... I haven't had the chance to sleep with him yet!'

Y/N was a little disappointed.

"Why?" Taehyung asked with raised brows and a smirk. He teased in an alluring voice, "Madam, you can't bear for me to leave?"

Y/N sneered in disdain, "I just find it a pity that you haven't washed up and served me yet."

'Serve her?'

Taehyung's smile widened. "Seems like you crave my body very much, Madam."

Y/N asked righteously, "Why? Can't I?"

"I'm glad that you like my body that much, but I'm sorry, I'll have to disappoint you."

Feeling embarrassed, Y/N thought, 'That dog is going to be even more smug when he comes back again'

She took a step forward and inched closer to Taehyung, her warm breath landing on his face.

Taehyung frowned.

Y/N clearly saw an evasive gaze in his eyes.

"Mr. Kim, you're about to leave soon. Since you're still my husband, shouldn't you give me a goodbye kiss?"

As she spoke, she leaned closer to him.

Seeing that her lips were about to touch his, Taehyung's expression turned cold, and he took a step back. "Please respect yourself."

"You're my husband, what's wrong with me kissing you? Why do I have to respect myself because of that?"

Looking at how aggressive Y/N was, Taehyung was still feeling as disgusted as ever, but he maintained his composure on the surface. "You're my wife, not a bandit. You should learn some manners and etiquette from Jisso."

After saying that, he turned around to leave without turning back.

'That's it? Is that dog so susceptible to flirting?'

'Or does he dislike me?'

Taehyung got inside the car, stepped on the gas pedal, and left. Only when the Kim family's residence vanished from his rearview mirror did he heave a sigh of relief.

Looking at his hands that were trembling slightly, he pursed his lips, and his eyes were full of fury.

After hugging her that night, he had indeed felt a little disgusted and a great sense of discomfort that dissipated only after he took a long bath in the shower.

Just now...

"Dog, you're destined to never be able to have a woman for the rest of your life. Make do with your right hand!"

Y/N was so furious that she began stomping her feet. She tried to take the initiative to flirt with a man for the first time in her life, but she ended up getting rejected.

'Atrocious. But... is there something wrong with that dog? No, I must ask someone about it.'

Kai went to the office while Jennie idled around outside with her friends, and Seokjin was immersed in his lab. Even Kim Jae Wook went out to meet some friends.

In the large mansion, Jisso was left alone on the couch.

Dressed in silk home wear, her long, black hair was casually tied up and she was hanging her head low, keeping her eyes fixed on the book that she was reading attentively.

'Jisso is so pretty.'

Y/N walked towards Jisso and sat down beside her with a grin. "Sister-in-law, what are you looking at?"

Jisso closed the book and pointed at the name on the cover page. "It's a travelogue written by a foreign author. It's not too bad, would you like to read it too, Y/N?"

Y/N shook her head vigorously.

In her last life, the rich man's daughter forced her to study too, and she had since developed a phobia of reading.

"Sister-in-law, does Seokjin know how pretty you are?"

Jisso was stunned and her fair face turned rosy. "Y/N, don't babble nonsense."

Y/N raised three fingers and said, "I swear to God that you're the most beautiful woman I've ever seen. If I'm a man, I'd definitely snatch you over and lock you up in my castle. No one can see you except me!"

'Why didn't King Yama make me a man?'

"Y/N, please be more serious. You're Taehyung's wife."

'Jisso gets shy too easily, but that's what a girl should be like, unlike that Jennie who behaves like a boor."

"Where's Taehyung?"

"He has already left."

Jisso was surprised. "So soon?"

"He likes dating his job instead so let's not care about him."

Y/N waved her hand casually. Suddenly reminded of something, she asked Jisso, "Is that dog... I mean, is Taehyung ill?"

"Huh?"

"I mean, does he have some kind of illness...that makes him fear females?"

Jisso froze, shook her head abruptly, and sighed.

'Seems like there's really something wrong with him!'

"Y/N, you've been married into this family for quite some time, you should know that Seokjin and I are in an arranged marriage. We are considered childhood friends who grew up together."

She really didn't know about that.

Like an obedient baby, Y/N placed her hands on her knees and kept her back straight, all prepared to listen.

"Do you know how their parents passed away?"

Seemingly having touched a sore spot and reminded of bad memories, Jisso's expression turned a little gloomy, her eyes full of melancholy.

Y/N shook her head.

"Their mother set the fire and burned their father alive along with herself."

Y/N's pupils dilated and she was in disbelief.

There was surprisingly such a thing.

"Their mother's family has a history of genetic psychosis. Actually, she was alright at first, but after she gave birth to Kai, she gradually showed signs of psychosis. After Jennie was born, she lost her sanity and couldn't recognize anyone."

'No wonder Jennie is so attached to me and Sister-in-law. It turns out she lacks motherly love...'

'She's quite pitiful.'

"And what does that have to do with Taehyung?"

"I heard this from my grandfather. At that time, it was Taehyung's birthday and he secretly went to his mother's residence, but somehow, she suddenly went mad and started hitting him violently. She tied him to a chair and said that she wanted to die with him. She then lit the curtains afire, and by the time his father arrived, the room was already in flames. After saving Taehyung, he went back in to rescue his wife, but neither of them made it out alive."

Y/N fell silent. 'Taehyung must have developed his perverted character at that time.'

"This incident psychologically traumatized Taehyung, and he began being resistant to women. Once he touches women, he will feel chilly all over."

'No wonder he evaded me when I tried to flirt with him.'

Jisso suddenly looked at Y/N and asked, "Y/N, why did you suddenly ask about this? Did Taehyung take the initiative to touch you?"

"Uh..." Y/N was a little embarrassed. He continued, "Ahem, I, I just thought it would be fun to molest him."

Jisso immediately pulled Y/N over and looked at her from head to toe. "Are you injured?"

"Why would I be injured?"

With a strange look in her eyes, Jisso said, "Some socialites tried to touch Taehyung, but they were thrown out by the bodyguards. They even got the family involved."

This...

'Is it that brutal?'

Y/N shivered. 'From now on, I will not touch Taehyung for no reason again. What if he takes away my private stash? No. Since Taehyung has this cliché illness, why is Kim Jae Wook still urging me to have a child everyday? Isn't he out to kill Me?! Kim Jae Wook is too scheming, just like the rest of the family.'

'I have to work hard to earn money and buy a mountain!'

'Yes, I have to find some jobs now.'

Kai had just handled some media affairs and felt terrible.

He was about to have some drinks with a few friends, but Y/N called.

Kai picked up the phone hastily, "Second sister-in-law, what's the matter?"

"Are there any jobs for me recently?"

"Plenty."

Kai was now personally managing Y/N's job offers and he selected a few that he felt were good.

"Does that male magazine shoot pay a lot?"

"Not too bad."

'That means it's not much, right? That damned Jimin and his assistant lied to me that magazine shoots pay a lot.'

"Did you say that Lee Dong-wook has recommended a television drama for me to star in?"

Kai took out the project proposal that was all the way at the bottom of his briefcase and flipped through it. "Second Sister-in-law, I've already turned that down on your behalf. It's just a supporting role, and worse still, it's a villainous character whom everyone will detest."

"Be more specific," Y/N instructed coldly.

Kai immediately skimmed through the lines and read out the character introduction and background to her as quickly as he could. "It's a drama about scheming in the harem. You've been offered the role of the vicious empress who's scheming, ruthless, and has killed many other consorts and concubines. You definitely wouldn't take on that role, it doesn't suit you."

Y/N stayed silent for a few minutes over the phone.

Kai thought that Y/N would curse at Lee Dong-wook for recommending such a role to her but...

"Kai, are you asking for a beating? Why wouldn't it suit me? Do you think I lack the potential to be an empress?"

'No... It's such an evil character...'

Kai felt innocent.

"Take on that role on my behalf now. Do you expect me to play the role of a pretentious and vulnerable girl instead?"

As if he had already seen Y/N holding the feather duster, Kai shivered and said, "Yes, yes, I'll do it right now."

"How much will I be getting paid?"

"10 million Won... After all, it's just a supporting character and you've also only starred in one film..."

Before he finished, Y/N hollered again, "How dare you turn down a 10 million Won deal? Kai, are you tired of living?"

Fortunately, she had called to ask about it. Otherwise, she would have missed the 10 million Won just like that.

It might even end up in someone else's hands!

Y/N truly didn't have a bottom line.

Indeed, she loved money.

"If you don't handle this well, be prepared to get skinned alive tonight!"

After hanging up furiously, she turned to see that Jisso was staring at her in shock with her shoulders trembling too.

'Oh dear, I was so fierce just now. Did I end up scaring Jisso?'

She immediately smiled sweetly and moved towards Jisso affectionately. "Don't be scared, I'm usually very gentle. Kai just needs to be taught a lesson."

At this point, Y/N sighed and said, "As his sister-in-law, how can I watch him go astray? Look, the matter with Yan Xin hasn't been settled yet. I'm doing this all for the sake of Kai's future, that's why I'm so strict with him!"

Jisso patted the back of Y/N's hand and said, "I know, it's hard to take Kai in hand, but he and Jennie are quite obedient towards you these days. Well done, Y/N."

"Ah, you flatter me, Sister-in-law. Actually, you're the one who deserves credit for keeping this household orderly."

Y/N took the chance to gently pinch Jisso's hand, amazed by the tenderness of her skin.

While she was doing so, Jennie came through the door in a flurry.

"Sister-in-laws, hurry and look at the news. Yan Xin is so atrocious, how can there be such a horrible woman in this world?!"

Y/N's face turned sullen and she glared at Jennie, causing the latter to be shocked and confused.

'Why is Second Sister-in-law looking at me like that? I haven't offended her recently.'

Seeing that Y/N was holding Jisso's hand, she was bewildered.

Frowning at Jennie's lack of response, Y/N chided, "Jennie, I'm asking you a question."

Jennie shuddered and quickly logged onto the Internet on the television to search for the latest news.

It was a video of an interview in Yan Xin's ward at the hospital.

In the video, Yan Xin was leaning against the railing of the bed in the patient gown, all pale and feeble. Her large belly bump could be seen under the blanket that she was covered with.

There was a female reporter, who was in her thirties, seated next to Yan Xin.

"Miss Yan, thank you for your willingness to give us an interview."

Yan Xin smiled feebly and said, "It doesn't matter, in fact, I have hesitated for a long time."

"Miss Yan, is the father of the baby really Kai?"

Yan Xin stroked her belly with a benevolent gaze. "I believe the child will look very much like his father.

Although she didn't give a direct answer, her statement undoubtedly implied that Kai was the father of the child.

"Miss Yan, as far as I know, many pregnant women went to TG Entertainment or even Kim Group before you did too, claiming that they were pregnant with Kai's child. However, it was later proven that they were just out to cheat money."

Hearing her words, Yan Xin bit on her lower lip with a sorrowful expression and said aggrievedly, "Mr. Kim is the only man I've ever slept with."

"You're already so far along. Miss Yan, you should know that Mr. Kim's family is not going to accept your child. Why do you insist on giving birth to him?"

The reporter's words seemed to have struck a sour note within Yan Xin as she looked down and wiped her tears. After a long while, she forced a smile and said, "I believe you all know how Mr. Kim and I met. At that time, I even had the urge to end my life, but Mr. Kim suddenly appeared and rescued me from darkness. He was like a ray of light, I really fell in love with him. I love him so much..."

While chewing on some melon seeds, Y/N criticized, "This woman's acting skills are almost half as good as mine. She loves him very much? He's a ray of light? Hah."

"Exactly, it's so fake, she's so disgusting!"

Jennie stretched out her hand to grab some melon seeds, but Y/N slapped her hand away.

"Huh?"

"If you want to eat it, go buy some yourself." After saying that, Y/N looked at Jisso with a sweet smile. "Sister-in-law, have some melon seeds. This one tastes superb."

'Second sister-in-law, you're biased!'

The interview with Yan Xin was still playing on the television.

"Miss Yan, you and Kai..."

Yan Xin said coyly, "Yes, it was actually an accident. At that time, Mr. Kim was drunk, and I helped him away to get some rest. In the end... it's all my fault, I loved him so much so I didn't resist at all. After learning that I was pregnant, I originally planned to take my child to another city and never appear in front of Mr. Kim again. I know I can never marry anyone else, I purely wanted to keep the baby."

Y/N barfed.

'You deserve an Oscar!'

The reporter asked, "In that case Miss Yan, why did you go to the Kim family to look for Mr. Kim?"

Yan Xin's face gradually turned pale. "My mother saw the pregnancy test report and learned that I was pregnant. She insisted that I tell her who the father of the baby is. If I didn't, she would have forced me to go for an abortion. Well, he's my flesh and blood who's now the only concern of my life. In a moment of helplessness, I had no choice but to tell her and she forced me to look for Mr. Kim. She threatened that she would make me marry a bachelor who's in his fifties if Mr. Kim doesn't acknowledge the baby!"

With an indignant expression, the reporter said, "Your mother is being too much."

Yan Xin sobbed and said, "I'm really helpless too, I was forced into this. If Mr. Kim doesn't acknowledge this baby, I have to... I don't want my life to be ruined by my mother either. I know my behavior is abhorrent, but I really can't help it!"

Yan Xin's crying was extremely miserable.

"Miss Yan, I heard you were chased out by Second Young Madam Kim?"

Yan Xin looked to the camera with some lingering fear. "Second Young Madam Kim probably doesn't like me because I used to work at a bar, but I don't blame her. After all, my family background is indeed not great..."

The world didn't know much about the background of Second Young Madam Kim, and most people simply thought that she was an arrogant heiress who was born with a golden spoon in her mouth.

However, they thought that she had a good business mind too because the film 'Female Fortress Leader' that she invested in was indeed a huge success.

That was the reason that many people had been having mixed comments about Second Young Madam Kim.

"What about Kai?"

"He... He doesn't want to acknowledge this baby..."

At this point, Yan Xin had already begun sobbing incessantly.

At this moment, there was a huge uproar on the internet too, and the comments were all criticism and controversial comments directed at Y/N and Kai.

"Oh my God, only commoners like us can empathize with Yan Xin, she is so pitiful. What's wrong with a mother wanting to protect her child?"

"Bye, Kai, I'm going to stop being a fan of yours. You're truly a heartless playboy. Damn it, if you can't keep your pants on, don't go fooling around!"

"I've been seeing Kai through rose-tinted glasses because he's from the Kim Family, but now, I've taken them off. Are men all so disgusting? I'm scared, I'm scared, I shall mind my own business."

"That Second Young Madam Kim is not a good person either. Maybe her successful investment in 'Female Fortress Leader' was just a fluke. Bye, you're canceled!"

"The Kim Group is so large. Why did Kai choose to manage TG Entertainment? Well, isn't it because there are a lot of beautiful girls in the entertainment industry? Tsk..."

The public opinion was overwhelmingly in favor of Yan Xin.

Perhaps, they had the herd mentality and hated the rich. Usually, they would praise her when there were no rumors, but once something happened, they would start being biased to the weaker party in the name of being righteous.

They refused to find out the truth or wait for the outcome. They were bent on believing what they saw.

They thought that they should believe what they saw.

Kim Jae Wook was having chess with his old friends at first, but after finding out the news, he stormed off to go home furiously.

Y/N and the other two had finished reading the interview. Kim Jae Wook hollered angrily, "Where is that sinful child Kai? Get him to come out!"

Jisso winked at Y/N and hurriedly got up to help Kim Jae Wook. "Grandpa, calm down, come on, let's sit down and talk things over slowly."

Kim Jae Wook was so furious that his beard was trembling and his eyes were bloodshot. "That bastard insists on provoking me, huh? Of all things, you had to go be a playboy and get involved with women. The Kim family's reputation that has been carefully upheld for a century is going to be ruined by him!"

After saying that, he looked at Y/N and asked, "That rascal Taehyung is so worrisome too. He went abroad again before solving this matter. Which country does he belong to?"

Y/N touched her nose with an innocent expression.

"Where is Kai?"

As soon as he finished speaking, Kai appeared at the door and exclaimed, "Grandpa I'm here!"

"You still have the cheek to come home, huh? Get your a*s back here!"

Kim Jae Wook roared, scaring the surrounding servants into hiding.

Kim Jae Wook might be old in his years, but he was still energetic and his voice was powerful. When he flared up, he was even scarier than Second Young Madam Kim.

Kai's legs shivered and he slowly moved over.

As soon as he reached a spot that was about a meter away from Kim Jae Wook, the latter suddenly raised his cane and was all ready to hit Kai with it.

Kai subconsciously leaped backwards, completely angering Kim Jae Wook with that action of his.

"Bastard, how dare you continue hiding? Get your a*s here and stand properly. Keep hiding and I'll tell your brother to terminate all your cards and confiscate your car and properties. You will be stripped off of your position as the CEO of TG Entertainment too."

'Damn it, Grandpa, you're so brutal!'

Kai walked over and stood still in an unusually pitiful manner.

As soon as he did, Kim Jae Wook's cane had already landed on him, causing him so much pain that he gritted his teeth, and his face turned red.

'Grandpa is more violent than Second Sister-in-law!'

Immediately afterwards, the cane struck him again. The sound was so loud that even Y/N couldn't help but have her eyelids twitch.

'Kim Jae Wook doesn't make any exceptions even when hitting his own grandson!'

Seeing it, Jisso couldn't bear to let Kai continue getting beaten up and thus quickly stepped forward to explain, "Grandpa, stop hitting him and simmer down. Yan Xin was obviously lying. No matter how much of a playboy Kai may be, he has a moral bottom line."

"Regardless of whether that baby belongs to Kai or not, this wouldn't have happened if he didn't go round toying with women."

Y/N chimed in, "Grandpa is right. If not for the fact that Kai went out getting involved with women, why would the matter with Yan Xin have happened? Previously, he got involved with a model who came forth to make him acknowledge her child, but I chased her out too."

Looking at Y/N's face, Kim Jae Wook's face finally eased up and he asked, "Y/N is right. I heard from Uncle Zhang that you hit him with the feather duster twice?"

"Yes, he can't go without a beating. Since the members of the Kim Family have to be resistant to beatings, we must show the others."

Kim Jae Wook agreed. "Yes, the members of the Kim Family have to be resistant to beatings."

Kai thought, 'Second Sister-in-law, since when have you become such a dog?'

The impact of Kim Jae Wook's cane was much greater than Y/N's feather duster. Kai felt like there was pain all over his body, especially in his back, which he thought must have already been cut open! However, he had no choice but to remain standing still.

Fortunately, when he was a child, he was forced to train with the guards for a while. Otherwise, he would have been knocked unconscious!

Kai stood still while Y/N and Jisso chatted with Kim Jae Wook. Even Jennie was treated better than him.

In the blink of an eye, dinner time arrived.

"Old Master, is it time to eat?" Zhang Guoquan walked in with the tablet and bowed respectfully to Kim Jae Wook.

After chatting with his two granddaughters-in-law for a while, Kim Jae Wook finally felt a little better. "Well, let's eat, it's getting late."

After they got seated, Kai was ready to go to the dining room, but Kim Jae Wook chastised sternly, "Who said you can move? Do you think you're fit to eat?"

Kai desperately tried to force himself to cry while Y/N said again, "Yeah, do you think you deserve to eat after creating so much trouble?"

"Y/N, you, you..."

Gritting his teeth, Kai moved his head to the side and thought, 'Fine, I won't eat then, who cares for a meal like that!?!'

Usually, Kim Jae Wook's meals were light and bland, but tonight, the chefs prepared hotpot for dinner.

The moment the hotpot was served, the entire space in the hall on the first floor was filled with a heavenly aroma.

Y/N and Jennie kept exclaiming emotionally as they ate.

Kai couldn't help but glance at them with his peripheral vision, only to see that Y/N had just cooked some duck meat in the hotpot and was about to put it in her mouth.

He swallowed some saliva.

His Adam's apple bobbed and he was staring wide-eyed.

'I really want to eat it. I'm so hungry, it's been almost a month since I had hotpot! Is hotpot actually that fragrant?'

He decided that he had to binge on a feast after this matter was over.

After Y/N finished eating, she deliberately circled around Kai, and then burped with satisfaction.

Bewilderment was written all over Kai's face.

Soon, Y/N exclaimed, "The hotpot for dinner tonight is so delicious!"

'Y/N, you are too much!'

Kai had been standing for almost five hours, and he felt that his legs would become crippled if he continued to stand.

'Or can I kneel next?'

Jisso looked at Kai's somewhat swaying body and frowned. "Grandpa, Kai has been standing for so long, why don't we just give him a chance to settle this matter?"

Kim Jae Wook humphed and turned his head to ask Y/N, "Y/N, what do you think?"

Kai immediately looked at Y/N with a pitiful gaze.

'Please...'

Y/N decided to be kind for once, which was rare for her, but at this moment, Ji-woong whose bones she had fixed previously came rushing in.

"Old Master Kim, we've found some evidence. Second Young Master Kim sent a video and we just have to post it to clear Third Young Master's name."

Kai's eyes lit up and he asked, "Really?"

Ji-woong handed the phone to Kim Jae Wook.

It was a video taken at a hotel which showed Kai returning to his room in a drunken stupor. After more than ten minutes, Yan Xin was forced into the room adjacent to Kai's by a man with a pot belly. After almost an hour, Yan Xin was seen staggering out of the room and squatting at the door of Kai's room where she wept for a long time.

At this juncture, she was already not fully clothed.

"Indeed, Kai was wronged.'

Jisso heaved a sigh of relief.

"Hmph." Kim Jae Wook humphed coldly and asked, "Ji-woong, did you say that Taehyung was the one who sent this to you?"

Ji-woong nodded and said, "Yes, it seems to be a video that Second Young Master Kim found and sent to me. It was originally already deleted, but the person who deleted it forgot to do a thorough job."

Kim Jae Wook nodded and his expression eased up. "Post this video then."

"Grandpa, don't be in such a hurry!" Y/N suddenly said with a strange smile.

Everyone in the room was looking at her with their eyes full of bewilderment.

Ji-woong stared at Y/N and frowned a little. 'Why is it Second Young Madam Kim again?'

"What does Y/N mean?"

"Now the public discussion hasn't reached the climax yet. Let Yan Xin be smug for now and reveal the video only when she becomes Kai's wife."

With a glint in his eyes, Kim Jae Wook thought, 'Taehyung's wife is not only intelligent, she's just as vicious as him. No wonder they're married.'

'Why do I have such great taste? Their future child is going to be incredible! Unfortunately, that rascal Taehyung hasn't... Ah...'

He sighed.

Kim Jae Wook still didn't know that Taehyung had already hugged Y/N, though the consequence was a night of discomfort.

Kai panicked and asked, "Second Sister-in-law, how long more do we have to wait? That wench Yan Xin is already smug enough. Haven't we been scolded terribly enough?"

'Is it terrible?'

Y/N blinked and asked using her gaze.

"..."

'You're impressive, you make sense.'

Kai had no choice but to compromise.

On the following day, Y/N asked to go to the office with Kai for the first time.

However, she took the back door and arrived in the lobby a few minutes earlier than Kai.

When Y/N stood at the entrance of TG Entertainment with her coffee and chatted with the security officer, Kai's car was driven over slowly.

Suddenly, a group of reporters appeared out of nowhere, as if they had emerged from a hole in the ground. They immediately flocked towards Kai and surrounded him as soon as he got out of the car.

"Mr. Kim, are you really not going to acknowledge the baby Yan Xin is carrying?"

"Mr. Kim, what is Old Master Kim's take on this? The baby is his eldest great-grandchild!"

"Mr. Kim, is your family discriminating against Yan Xin just because of her humble background? If that's the case, why did you give Yan Xin hope and even let her willingly give birth to a child for you in the first place?"

Kai was hot-tempered, and if this happened in the past, he would have definitely lost his temper and chased them away.

However, before he went to the office today, Y/N had specifically instructed him to remain calm no matter what the gossipy reporters said.

She admonished him to stay silent no matter what.

Kai took a deep breath and tried to suppress the anger in his heart.

He suddenly understood how those celebrities felt when they were repeatedly hounded by reporters but could only remain silent.

'It's too frustrating!'

"Mr. Kim, are you staying silent because you're scared?"

"Mr. Kim, if you don't answer, we'll take your silence as consent. The baby is yours, right?"

"Mr. Kim, why is Second Young Madam Kim so hostile towards Yan Xin? Is she afraid that the child Yan Xin is carrying will threaten the status of her future children?"

"Now that Yan Xin's matter is blowing up so quickly, the stock prices of Kim Group and TG Entertainment are plummeting. I'm afraid the only way to stabilize the stock price is for you to marry Yan Xin, right?"

The reporters were more annoying than those widows at the foot of the Black Cloud Fortress.

Y/N smiled and looked at the security officer next to her, "Sir, Kai is under a siege, he needs your support."

The security officer was already contacting others.

However...

'That's strange. Third Young Master will usually bring his assistant and bodyguard with him to the office. Why is he alone today?'

'Isn't he asking to be abused?'

Finally, more than ten security officers rushed out to surround Kai, completely isolating him from the group of tabloid reporters.

Seeing that Kai was about to enter the office, the reporters began to panic.

All of a sudden, Yan Xin slowly walked down with the help of a middle-aged woman.

She was wearing a loose white dress with a knitted cardigan. Her hair was draped across her shoulders and she looked a little pale.

The middle-aged woman looked a bit similar to her, and she seemed to be her mean mother whom she mentioned.

"Kai, you knocked my daughter up, and you're thinking of just leaving like that, huh? Hah, turns out you wealthy people are so irresponsible. I've learned something new today."

Yan Xin's mother gibed loudly.

Kai stopped in his tracks and turned to look at her angrily.

Pretending to be pitiful and vulnerable, Yan Xin said, "Mom, stop it, Mr. Kim is not to be blamed. I was a willing party."

Hearing her words, Yan Xin's mother got even angrier and poked Yan Xin hard in her head. "A weak pushover like you deserves to be bullied and manipulated by others. Doesn't your baby belong to Kai?"

"I... I just don't want..."

"Shut up." Yan Xin's mother glared at her before staring at Kai. "My daughter was an innocent girl, but now her reputation is ruined because of you and she's pregnant with your child. How can she and the baby face others after she delivers? Kai, you've ruined my daughter's life, shouldn't you be giving an explanation?"

Kai finally couldn't stand it anymore. "What do you want an explanation for? I don't have anything to do with your daughter, what do you want an explanation for? The bastard child in your belly belongs to someone else and you want to make me take responsibility for it?"

Yan Xin's mother's face turned sullen.

She let go of Yan Xin's hand and sat down on the ground, wailing and punching the ground.

"Oh my God, what sin have I committed? I only have one daughter and was hoping that she could find a good job and marry a good husband so that she can provide for us when we retire, but her life has been ruined just like that..."

Y/N's eyelids twitched. 'This shrew is totally on par for Se-jung!'

'No, she might be even more shrewish than Se-jung.'

In a flash, the attention of the passers-by were all attracted by the commotion here, and they all took out their cell phones and started taking pictures.

Yan Xin's mother was still crying, like the evil and shrewish mother-in-law shown in television dramas.

"My daughter is innocent and pure. We have taught her to love and cherish herself since she was a child, but she ended up falling for Kai, this heartless jerk. Now she's pregnant with his child too!"

Yan Xin also did not expect her mother to suddenly bring that up and pull that trick. A look of annoyance flashed in her eyes, but she still looked pitiful.

She put one hand on her waist and was about to pull her mother who was seated on the ground. "Mom, cut it out, Mr. Kim has a reason not to want this child."

"Reason, what reason? Isn't it just because they look down on our family? Apart from being poor, we did not do anything unconscionable, but we still deserve to be despised, right?"

Yan Xin pulled her again and said, "Mom, I did everything willingly."

"How dare you have the cheek to say that? Had I known earlier that you were pregnant, I would have dragged you to the hospital to get an abortion when I first found out about it. Now, your baby's heart is already beating. How can I bear to... Ah, we can barely keep ourselves alive, how can we raise this child!?!"

As she went on, Yan Xin's mother got even angrier and began strangling Yan Xin. "It's your fault, you wretched brat. Of all people, you had to fall in love with Kai. Look, your father is so angry that he has collapsed..."

Yan Xin immediately shrieked in pain and exclaimed, "Mom, stop it, it's all my fault, please stop, it hurts!"

Seeing the pregnant Yan Xin being abused by her own mother, the surrounding people couldn't stand it longer.

An old lady with white hair walked over and said, "Stop fighting, she's your daughter and she's pregnant. If something happens to her, what are you going to do?"

Yan Xin's mother sat on the ground again. "Oh God, what else can I do? Look at how she is now. Her baby's father won't acknowledge the baby, and he used to insist on winning her heart, but now that she's pregnant, he's so quick to shirk the responsibility. We're barely surviving on a few thousand Won each month. Once the baby is born, we won't even have enough money to buy milk..."

Yan Xin's mother made herself sound extremely pitiful and she was as dramatic as a typical character in television dramas.

Y/N rubbed her temples, finding it difficult to contain her anger any longer.

'What do I do? I really feel like beating her up. If I beat her to death, will I have to line up for another 500 years to reincarnate?'

The staff of the company were all gathered at the entrance to watch the show.

'Mr. Kim is so unlucky. He used to be able to brush such women off easily in the past, but this time things have blown out of proportion!'

With the appearance of Yan Xin's mother, more and more onlookers spoke up for Yan Xin's mother and her daughter by pointing fingers at Kai.

Some of the older ones were fearless and were even about to hit Kai.

"I know about the Kim Family. It's said that your second brother is very business-minded and is the one who built the Kim Group, the Kim Family's empire. Your eldest brother is also a famous doctor, but why are you so incompetent?"

An elderly man pointed at Kai, as if the latter was his own grandson.

"You're such a disgrace to the Kim family, she's such a good girl. Apart from the fact that she might be poor, she's better than you in every aspect. Yet, you still dislike her, how can there be such a scum like you in society?"

TG Entertainment was located in the bustling downtown area of the city, which was the hot spot where many influencers liked taking photos at. Seeing this, the influencers hurriedly began a live-stream.

"Sir, please stop. Mr. Kim has his difficulties too. He never liked me in the first place and it was all wishful thinking on my part," Yan Xin said, biting her lower lip and trying her best to hold her tears back. "It's really not his fault."

The old man patted Yan Xin's shoulder and got even angrier. "Girl, I have a grandson who isn't married yet. Why don't you marry him? He might be poor but he's a grounded person. So what if this heartless jerk is rich and powerful? I believe there will be justice, and Kai will receive his punishment sooner or later!"

The scene began to get out of control and even the police in the nearby police station were alerted.

Yan Xin glanced at Kai, believing that he would definitely speak up since things have already come to this point.

Kai's handsome face was red with anger. He took a step back and stood in front of Y/N. "Second Sister-in-law, what do you think we should do next?"

'What? Abuse her before revealing the truth, of course.'

'Damn it, I've really encountered all sorts of weirdos.'

In full view of everyone, Y/N sauntered over to Yan Xin and said, "Hey, you said that the child in your stomach belongs to Kai, right?"

Only then did Yan Xin discover Y/N's presence.

Her gaze was stern. Those people didn't know her true identity, so...

Yan Xin smiled wryly and soon restored her pretentious front. "Yes, yes."

"Is there any evidence?"

"What?"

Y/N repeated with obvious impatience, "I asked if you have evidence that this child belongs to Kai."

Yan Xin secretly clenched her fist and began to plan how to make Y/N the target of public outrage as well.

"Ah, why are you making a scene here if you don't have any evidence? Don't you know that company's artists are precious? Don't you know we need to rest? I was sleeping well in the lounge, but I was woken up by this shrewish mother of yours. She got in the way of me getting enough rest and my skincare routine. If my skincare routine is disrupted, my skin will be prone to aging, and if my skin ages, I won't be able to take on any jobs and then I will die. How do you think we should settle those scores?"

Yan Xin was completely confused by Y/N's sharp tongue.

Yan Xin's mother was the first to recover from the shock and she glared at Y/N viciously. "Who are you calling a shrew? You must be Kai's new Mistress. Tsk, you look just like a vixen, I wonder how many people have toyed with you before. No matter how incompetent my daughter is, she's cleaner than you..."

Yan Xin's mother was known to have a foul mouth in their village and almost no one would want to be involved with them.

At this moment, she immediately retaliated and hollered at Y/N with no regard to who was around them.

Others may not know, but the employees of TG Entertainment and the reporters present were very clear that the beautiful and dainty-looking Y/N was actually especially brutal and even gained many fans because of that!

Indeed, the self-proclaimed bandit leader Y/N did not let them down.

Yan Xin's mother was still cursing and lecturing Y/N, when Y/N suddenly reached out and slapped him. "Damn it, there are always such fools who try to challenge my limits.'

Placing her hand on her warm cheek and glaring at Y/N in disbelief, Yan Xin's mother hollered, "How dare you hit me? Do you know what it means to respect your elders? You ill-mannered brat! Is your mother dead so she can't teach you any manners?"

Fortunately, Yan Xin had long stated beforehand in the interview that her mother was indeed... hot-tempered and had a terrible personality.

No one would be able to stand having their parents insulted or cursed by others.

Hence, everyone thought that Y/N was going to lose her cool and hit the roof but to their surprise, she simply waved her hands nonchalantly.

"My mother is indeed dead, and so is my father. Why? Do you have an opinion?"

It turns out that Y/N, who had suddenly become popular because of a film, was actually an orphan!

There were many fans of Y/N among the onlookers, who were sympathetic and heartbroken after hearing her words.

Yan Xin's mother froze for a bit before sneering, "Hmph they must have died because you're a jinx. An ill-mannered brat like you deserves to have both your parents dead."

Sensing the disgusted gazes that were being cast on them, Yan Xin hurriedly interjected as she was afraid that her mother might ruin things for her. "Mother, enough, she's already upset enough that her parents have passed away. Why do you have to rub salt on her wound? Mother, will you please stop?"

Yan Xin's mother shrugged Yan Xin's hand away and glowered at her. "You damned brat, your mother has been slapped but you're still speaking up for her?"

"Mom, you're the one who went too far and insulted her first. Besides, this is her workplace. Let's just stop it and go home, okay? Stop causing a scene here."

"No, Kai hasn't given an explanation yet. Why should we go back? Besides, this damned woman actually had the guts to hit me, she's gone too far!"

After saying this, Yan Xin's mother pounced onto Y/N ferociously and reached out to grab her hair. However, Y/N cocked her head slightly to the side in time, causing Yan Xin's mother to miss.

Y/N was extremely quick to lift her leg up and kick it behind, causing Yan Xin's mother to fall onto the ground in pain.

"Before causing trouble, try finding out who I am. I even dare to hit Kai, so who are you to me?"

Y/N was extremely arrogant but the scuffle had already caught everyone's attention and they all forgot that the main character today should have been Yan Xin.

Yan Xin knew that Y/N was deliberately causing this commotion and was gritting her teeth angrily. Now, the opinion had shifted and everyone was standing on her side. If she didn't seize the opportunity and gave the Kim Family the time to catch their breath, it would be hard to handle the situation in the future.

Yan Xin wiped her tears while helping her mother up. She tried to catch everyone's attention again but someone among the crowd suddenly exclaimed.

"Everyone, quick look at Weibo, Yan Xin's child doesn't belong to Kai at all!"

Hearing this, Yan Xin's expression changed drastically and an ominous feeling arose within her.

The people quickly took out their cell phones and checked the hot search list on the internet.

The PR department of TG Entertainment had released a clarification with a video attached.

The video was the one that Taehyung sent to Ji-woong.

All of a sudden, all kinds of contemptuous and disgusted gazes were cast at Yan Xin and her mother.

"Oh my God, at the end of the day, she's just a conman. Why don't this woman go and compete for an Oscar award?"

"It's a pity she isn't an actress. After creating such a huge scene, it turns out she's just a cheat. She insisted that Mr. Kim take responsibility for the child she had with someone else!"

"Poor Kai takes the blame. I even stopped being a fan of Young Madam Kim because of this. Yan Xin is too scary."

"Exactly. You can tell just from her hideous wench of a mother that this woman is not easy to deal with..."

The scoldings were overwhelming Yan Xin and making her turn pale.

She tried her best to stay calm and her face was covered in tears. "No, no, that video doesn't mean anything, the baby really belongs to Mr. Kim. I... I was just raped... However, I took the pill in time, I..."

Y/N clucked her tongue and said, "Why are you so shameless? You're so shameless that I want to hit you."

Yan Xin glared at Y/N and exclaimed, "Miss, I'm not related to you, why do you have to nitpick on me? Can that video prove that my baby doesn't belong to Mr. Kim? I might be mild-mannered but that doesn't mean I'm a pushover!"

'Damn!'

If it wasn't for the fact that Yan Xin was pregnant, she would have long slapped her.

"Yan Xin, do you have a bad memory? I remember you said yesterday in an interview that you have only ever slept with one man and that is Kai. Why did another one pop up all of a sudden? How many men have you slept with?"

"You..."

Yan Xin was secretly overwhelmed with regret and wanted to destroy the video of yesterday's interview right there and then.

After Y/N brought it up, many were reminded of the interview.

"That's right, yesterday you said that you've only ever slept with Kai. Why did another one pop up? I think you must be a chronic liar. Don't you feel shameless about lying?"

"I think it's 80% likely that we've really wronged Kai. This woman is really problematic. She's obviously so disgusting and everyone has toyed with her before. Yet, she's making herself out to be the victim of a sob story."

"Regardless of whether this child belongs to Kai or not, the fact that she's got a horrible character is enough for the Kim Family to deny the baby."

Kai finally stopped feeling wronged.

However...

"I'm upright and just. The baby in her belly has nothing to do with me at all."

(Being upright and just means living a life that is morally upright and in accordance with what is right. It means being honest, fair, and just in all of your dealings with others.)

Yan Xin was still struggling to defend herself. She suddenly kneeled on the ground and started sobbing. "It's my fault, I was afraid that you'd look down on me. That night, you said that you were unwell so I went to take a look at you, and in the end, I got dragged into a room by a drunkard. I really had no choice, I couldn't resist!"

At this point, Yan Xin's eyes were filled with hatred.

She was really desperate. Her only bargaining chip to attract Kai was ruined by that old man!

"However, I did get intimate with Mr. Kim later because of an accident and my baby really belongs to him!"

At this juncture, Yan Xin raised three fingers and declared, "I Yan Xin swear to heaven that if I lie, I would be struck by thunder and die a horrible death!"

As soon as she finished, Y/N started sneering again, "Hah, if swearing is real, many in this world would have been struck by lightning."

"You..."

"You just want to prove that your baby belongs to Kai, right? That's easy, can't you just go and get a paternity test done?"

"Yeah, technology is so advanced these days. Your fetus should be about seven months old now, it won't be difficult to do a paternity test.'

"I think we still have to wait until the child is born. How can the test be done now? However, I think Y/N has a point. When the baby is born, she can get a paternity test done and the truth will come to light then."

Seeing that everyone was coercing her to do the paternity test, Yan Xin panicked a little.

"My baby is only seven months old, we can only do the test after I deliver..."

"I'm a Doctor, I can do the test for you on the spot."

A pleasant male voice sounded at the right time.

Only then did the people notice that a black car had pulled over next to them at some point.

The door of the car opened, and Seokjin stepped out of it in a white coat.

He was followed by two men in black who were clad in black suits that each had a 'K' embroidered on their breast pockets. Clearly, they were from the Kim family escort team.

One of them happened to be carrying a medical kit in his hand.

"Isn't this Mr. Seokjin? He looks so ascetic!"

"Oh my God, he looks so good in a white coat. It suits him so well, he looks like a charming prince in the castle."

A lot of young women present began swooning and gushing over him smittenly.

Seokjin walked towards Y/N and pretended not to know her. He nodded and looked at Yan Xin. "I can do a paternity test for you right now, but I'll need your cooperation, Miss Yan."

Seokjin was a legendary figure in the field of medicine. If he said it was possible, it definitely was.

Besides, he was going to do it on the spot...

Yan Xin looked at the medical kit carried by the escort team members, and then shifted her gaze onto the crowd of onlookers who were surrounding them. Her lips turned pale.

Her eyes began to lose focus. 'It's over for me this time...'

The revelation of that video was disadvantageous to her in the first place, if it...

"It seems that Miss Yan is afraid, I remember my sister-in-law saying before that Miss Yan can stay hospitalized for as long as she wishes and we will foot her medical expenses. When the baby is born, we will have a paternity test done. If it's proven that the baby belongs to the family, we will proceed with the payment but if it isn't, Miss Yan will have to return the medical expenses with interest..."

At this point, Seokjin paused and smiled warmly. "However, my sister-in-law's solution will need some time. We still have to wait another three months. I happen to have some advanced instruments here that can allow us to conduct the paternity test now. Miss Yan, what do you think?"

'How can I have it done? Even if I try to delay until three months later, the truth will still be exposed even if I try to find a child that belongs to Kai.'

Yan Xin gritted her teeth, not daring to speak.

At this point, if the people still didn't understand what was going on, they would be fools.

"The truth has come out, Yan Xin has really been putting on a good show!"

"Mr. Seokjin came at the right time but Yan Xin has really ruined my world views."

"Let's get going. Leave this shameless bitch to the police. Lying to the Kim Family will probably land her a few years in jail."

The crowd gradually dispersed and Yan Xin subconsciously got the chills. She tugged her skirt and felt a huge sense of humiliation.

Yan Xin's mother finally recovered from the shock. She suddenly slapped Yan Xin and asked, "Yan Xin, you bitch, how dare you lie to me? At the end of the day, your baby doesn't belong to Kai at all?"

After saying that, she slapped Yan Xin again and caused her to fall onto the ground.

"What sin have I committed to give birth to you? I really thought that you were so capable of getting pregnant with Kai's child. Tell me, who does this bastard child belong to?"

"You don't want to tell me huh? Fine, get lost with this bastard. I don't have a daughter like you. You're such a jinx..."
