Chapter 034 The Scammer
…
The next day…
During breakfast, it was Anne who prepares it as Aunt Sonya was still out of sorts and is still sleeping. It was already early morning at around 4 am when she finally slept soundly.
It was Jisoo who applied acupuncture on her that made her sleep soundly on that early morning when she arrived.
Meanwhile, at the dining table, the crestfallen Anne has no appetite to eat anything even though she cooked a nice breakfast meal.
Jisoo, on the other hand, eats heartily as she felt a bit tired after going out that night while teaching that guy, named George Er, a lesson that would make him regret what he did to Aunt Sonya for the rest of his life.
"Jisoo, what should we do with mom's work? Should we really let her quit? I'm also afraid that she would not agree because she really loves her job." Anne suddenly said with an anxious expression on her face.
"Well, it's either we let this be or can let her suffer like this…" Jisoo said plainly.
The two of them began to discuss the best next move, but they still could not arrive at a decision because, at the end of the day, the decision still lays on Sonya.
Anne looks at the table as she muses on what to say next. She could not help but heave a deep sigh as no matter what she thinks she could not say anything anymore.
"I will quit… You two should not think deeply about anything anymore. Even though it would be hard for a couple of months for us, I know I can find a new job…" Sonya emerges from her room looking a bit tired and exhausted.
Jisoo looks at Sonya and then stood up to help her take a seat at the dining table.
"Sigh… Auntie, it's been hard on you… But you should not worry that much anymore because… I have already thought about what we should do next… Anne, you should continue with your studies… Auntie, you should stay at home for a while. As for me, I am going to have some money later on… So you guys don't have to worry about our daily expenses for now…" Jisoo said confidently.
"How could that be?... I am the adult in the family. I should be the one working… You girls should just do what you wanted to do…" Sonya suddenly said.
"Auntie… I know your condition is not good right now. Relax for a while, and let me take care of things… I may not look like it but I'm a good provider…" Jisoo said with a confident smile.
Remembering how Sung Jisoo could earn thousands in just one day, Anne's worry dissipates. Although she knew that she and her mother would be relying on Sung Jisoo for a while, she still could not help but agree with Jisoo because of her mother's condition.
She was actually thinking of quitting school for a while and wanted to start working. That way she could help at home. But from what she could see from Jisoo's expression, she knew that her friend is determined to help them.
She stood up and then suddenly hugged Jisoo from behind.
"Thank you…" she said as a line of tears slid down her fair cheek.
"Jisoo… I… Are you sure about this?" Sonya said feeling a bit worried.
"Hehe… Auntie, you know that I won't brag if I can't do it, right?" Jisoo winks confidently.
The atmosphere became cheerful at the dining table as the three women talked about anything. Sonya's mood lightens up a bit.
That morning, after breakfast, Sonya decided to give her resignation letter to the HR department of the company.
She dare not give it to her boss for fear that she would be molested again.
Jisoo came with her to the office and when the two walked in, they immediately attracted the attention of all those who sees them.
Although they are dressed normally, the temperament of the two is something that belongs to those that have been at the top and it exudes from their figures.
As someone who was the wife of the former clan head of the Jing clan, Sonya Tang has the temperament of a rich madam.
Meanwhile, Sung Jisoo who is the sect master of the Rainbow Wisteria sect is now exuding the aura of a domineering sect leader.
And because of this… the two become the focus of everyone's conversation.
"Oh, if it isn't Miss Tang… You seem to be late…" a sarcastic female voice suddenly interrupted the two as they stood to wait for the elevator.
Sung Jisoo looks at the woman, whose face is filled with thick makeup, and frowns.
Sonya did not bother the woman. Ever since she came to this company, this woman would always sarcastically say words to her.
But she would always ignore the woman because of her temperament. But that woman would always throw sarcastic words whenever they see each other.
But later she knew that the reason for this is because of the attitude of their general manager towards Sonya. This woman and the general manager have had an ambiguous relationship before.
She is one of his mistresses and has previously suffered at the hand of his wife.
But she would not want to give up George Er because of his money, status, and prowess in bed.
For her, if she could get her hand on him and then take him away from his wife, then she would be able to live a good life.
She has a nice figure, but she is not as beautiful as Sonya, so she has been neglected by George Er in favor of Sonya, whom he has been trying to chase.
"How was it last night? Did you have fun?" suddenly that woman said in a low voice but was loud enough for others around them to hear.
When Sung Jisoo heard this, her expression turned cold. But she did not do anything because she knew that in this world, strength is not everything, but knowledge.
That is why she has been reading any books she can get her hand on these past few days.
"Miss… If you do not control your words, you would end up in prison." Jisoo suddenly warned with a calm smile on her face.
When that woman heard this, her expression turned stiff.
She scrutinized Sung Jisoo but frowned when she noticed that the young woman is beautiful, but does not have that vibe on her that she knew something about the law.
Before she could say anything, Sung Jisoo opened her mouth.
"Would you like to try? I hope you have a good lawyer though…"
Upon hearing this, the woman suddenly turned stiff.
Then something came to her mind.
In fact, the reason why Sonya was trapped last night by George is because of the woman. She was the one who followed Sonya and disclosed her location to the guy. She then stayed for a while when George began to forcefully assaulted Sonya.
But she could not bear to watch more so she left after that. She did not see the scene where Sonya, hits George on his crotch with her knee and ran away.
Everyone became silent while waiting for the elevator until its doors opened.
There was no other event after that and Jisoo and Sonya just went home.
…
2 days later…
Sonya and Jisoo are watching a soap opera that the two are crazily following ever since it was aired. Even Anne became addicted to the series because the two would always watch it.
The series is about a young woman who lost her identity and was picked up by a rich young man. She became his servant and changed his life one step at a time.
The drama has a high viewership because of the quality of the acting of the cast.
When the episode was about to end, Jisoo's phone suddenly rang and the number registered is unknown.
She picks it up and then said with an annoyed tone.
"Hello?! Who's this?"
The other end of the line kept their silence for a while.
'Ahem… Is this Miss Sung?' a male voice replied.
"Yes… and you are?"
'Ah… Well, this… I am James Yang… my father is Thomas Yang, the man you've secretly helped.'
"Ah… The old man who was in a coma… Well, I have already told him my condition and since he did not call me these following days... I thought that he is already ready to die..." Jisoo showed a crafty smile on her face.
But Sonya who is sitting beside her showed a startled expression on her face.
Although she knew that Jisoo is not a normal person, she is still shocked to hear her talk about death.
'Umm… About that… Miss Sung, if you could help my father one last time, then I am willing to pay you, that amount… I mean, I can even double that amount you've asked…' James Yang said in a panic.
"Hmm… Alright, let's do it like this… Since I have done the service of waking your father the first time… please pay half of what I asked… That way, I am assured of your sincerity." Jisoo said calmly.
The man did not reply for a while. Jisoo showed impatient in her eyes. Although she wanted this money, as Sonya Tang has no work, for now, she could not force them. She also hated people who did not know how to repay her… kindness.
"Hmm… It seems that your sincerity is not enough… Goodbye…" She said as she quickly hangs up the phone.
On the other end of the line, James Yang showed an incredulous expression as he looks at his phone. He was not able to decide because he only heard his father tell him about the number before becoming comatose again.
If the woman is real or just a liar, then they would surely punish her. But since the doctors at Vie hospital are all baffled at the condition of his father, he did not have a choice and decided to call that person.
But who would have known that the person would ask for money?
He frowns and thought he has encountered a scammer.
"What did that person say…" a woman who is standing beside him asked.
"She… she wanted for us to pay half first… But how much that is… I don't know." He replied.
