Reborn: The Unexpected Twist

Everything was a mess at the Lee Mansion at that moment.

As the police were talking Lee Minjoon away, Lee Jiyoung fell down to her knees and began to cry loudly. Lee Jinkyung, on the other hand, held her mother's shoulder and tried showing support to her mother.

Lee Youngchul, Minjoon's father and Jinkyung's grandfather, wore a frown upon his face as he was seated upon the couch, and as his back leaned against the couch, his hand shivered.

One could easily see that he was shaken up sltjour he tried to maintain composure. He has already been in the hospital just a few days ago, and he did not want to end up there again.

Lee Yeeun snickered as she looked at the family in front of her, and as she had her hand folded over her chest, she stared at them in a patronizing way.

"Oops! Is this what you were this proud of? Even if we are not as established as you, we don't get involved in such immoral tasks and bring embarrassment to the entire family," Yeeun vocalised.

Lee Chungae, Yeeun's daughter, stood behind Jinkyung, and not having an idea on what to do, Chungae stared straight at Jinkyung. As if Jinkyung's mood affected her, a sad look crossed over her eyes.

Lee Hyunki, on the other hand, silently leaned against the stairway whilst no expression sat upon his face. He did not seem to be affected by what just happened in any way.

Lee Daeho, Yeeun's Husband, just held mock on his face and said, "Tch! Your entire family is humiliating. Because of this, I am unable to spend time with my friend's properly. I really hate that I am connected to—"

Before Lee Daeho could continue further, Youngchul yelled, "Shut up, Lee Daeho, Yeeun! It would not kill you to be silent at this moment! There are times you should not speak to uselessly at, and you have to learn that, Daeho!"

An annoyed expression sat on Daeho's face as he stood up from his place, and scoffing, he vocalised, "Now that it is Lee Minjoon, you are siding with him. If I was in his place, I am sure you would have abandoned me!"

Lee Yeeun added, "Admit it or not, Lee Minjoon is done for. Now that he is behind the bars, there is no way for him to come back. This is really humiliating; It makes me want to be cut off from his family."

As much as Jinkyung was irritated and tell them off, she was well aware that it was not the perfect time to do that. More drama will be created if she did so, and at this moment, her main concern was to keep her mother from collapsing.

"Mom, can you stand up and sit up on the bed?" Jinkyung questioned— her voice showing how worried she was.

Without saying a word to Jinkyung, Lee Jiyoung pressed her palms on top of the cold floor and tried to stand up. Jinkyung and Chungae helped Jiyoung, and walking over to the couch, Jinkyung placed the Jiyoung upon it.

Whisperings from the maids did not fail to reach Jinkyung's ear, and she clenched her hand into a tight fist. How dare someone as lowly as them dare to gosssip regarding her family?

"Stop slacking off, and get some water for my Mom!" Lee Jinkyung ordered whilst her eyes glowered upon them.

Her sudden order caused two of the maids to jump up, and as one of them nodded, she walked towards the direction of the kitchen. 

As the Maid was doing that, Jinkyung let out a sigh. She just hoped that Han Taeho would perfectly handle everything for her or else she would not be able to show herself at the school any longer.

Although she was the one who had sent Taehyun home, Jinhee was starting to get bored, and glancing at the clock, she realised that it was midnight currently. 

She wondered on what Taehyun was doing at this time of the day and was tempted to give him a call. However she restrained herself from doing so thinking that Han Taehyun was sleeping.

As much as Jinhee wanted to sleep, various thoughts which roamed in her mind prevented her from doing so, and there was a certain type of excitement within Jinhee.

After so long, everything will be over, and Jinhee found it hard to wait for the day everything will be over. Thinking about how things went in this life of hers, she could not help but smile widely at it.

The thought of everything going this smoothly invigorated her, and she wondered on what type of life she will be leading after they were out of the picture. 

She should starting thinking about she would be doing with her life after all this is over. Before her prime source of concern was to get rid of all those who troubled her in her previous life and tried to ruin her.

Now that it will be soon over, Jinhee found herself being in a deep thought over what she should do for her future. She had to have a goal that would drive her to work hard.

As much as Dowon wanted her to take over Moonstone Enterprise, handling an entire business was not something she wanted to do, especially when she barely had any talent in the field the business is at.

Jinhee did not know what type of herself she wanted to see ten years later. Maybe she would want to have Taehyun, her friends, and her family. Other than that, she was clueless.

If she wanted to lead a successful future, she had to think hardly about it. However, everytime she puts her concentration into thinking about this, she reaches a dead end she knows no way out of.

Lee Jinhee let out a groan as she leans back against the bed and audibly exclaimed, "Ah! This is horrible?!"

"What is horrible?"
