Meanwhile, Jordy had followed them to the restaurant and booked the room for Lianne and also the room next to it so he can keep watch on her.
They all are their meal and when they were done, two waiters approached each of their tables holding the bills of their food.
Lianne didn't have much of a problem paying half the bills. She checked her handbag for her card but was shocked when she saw Jordy's instead. She looked around before carefully handing the card to the waiter in a way that nobody saw the kind of card she brought out.
Song Yu and her minions were all waiting to hear that it was declined due to insufficient balance but that never happened as the voice from the machine said it was successful and the waiter returned the card cheerfully.
Lianne looked at her phone when it beeped with an alert. She saw a message from Jordy.
'I can't pick you up any longer because there's something that needs my immediate attention. See you later, wifey" Jordy's message read.
She was sad for a split minute before comforting herself that whatever he was doing was probably important.
She stood up with Hye Jin, not seeing any reason to wait for the rest to pay their bills.
By the time they came out of the restaurant, the same Lamborghini was awaiting their arrival. The chauffeur helped them with the doors before going on to drive.
Song Yu and her minions were still inside as Song Yu was still throwing a fit inside over the price of their meal.
Lianne made sure Hye Jin was dropped directly in front of her house before proceeding to Jordy's mansion.
Lianne did her night routine and waited for Jordy in the living room. She started off by watching movies till she got bored, then she played with her phone until she slept off on the couch.
She woke up early the next morning but realized Jordy was still not back. At this time, she couldn't help but worry. 'What important thing could he possibly still be doing?'
Meanwhile, the previous day in the restaurant, Jordy had received a call from his grandfather telling him to come home quickly as the Guang family wanted explanation and compensation for breaking off the engagement.
He sent the message to Lianne them quickly left to his grandparent's villa and from there, they all went to the Guang family villa.
Jordy had refused to apologize when Mr Guang asked him to.
Ji Huan said he had already broken the engagement silently but they insisted to go publicly. If anyone was at fault and needed to apologize, it was the Guangs.
The back and forth went on for a long time until Jordy stood up.
"If you want compensation, I can pay but as for an apology, I wouldn't do it. It isn't worth it. My wife is waiting for me at home" Jordy said and proceeded to leave when the son of the Guang family brought out a gun and shot it at Jordy piercing through his stomach.
Everyone was shocked at how fast it happened. They ran towards Jordy apart from the Guang family who sat stupefied at the turn of events.
Jordy was rushed to the hospital and was immediately taken into the emergency room where the surgery went on for hours.
Ji Huan who was still with Jordy's phone glanced at it when he saw an incoming call from Lianne. How was he supposed to answer her.
Jordy's parents asked him why he didn't pick the call.
"It's Jordy's wife. I don't know how to explain to her the situation and she'll be very troubled if I tell her about the situation" Ji Huan said
Lianne called again but Ji Huan couldn't bring himself to pick it up. His heart began to bang when Lianne called him directly.
His hand shivered as he picked the call
"Hey" he said trying to hide his anxiety.
"Ji Huan, I'm so thankful you picked. I've been trying to reach Jun since but he's not picking my call. Do you know where he is?" Lianne asked in worry
"Yes but Min Jun had an emergency he had to handle so he had to travel. He's currently in a meeting, once he's done I'll inform him" Ji Huan said surprised at how the lie flowed out
Lianne's heart finally relaxed knowing he was just busy. "I won't disturb you any longer" Lianne said then cut the call.
She did her morning routine and went to work but was surprised when she didn't get the usual side glances and murmuring from Song Yu and her minions.
Hye Jin rolled her chair over to where she was seated, "Did you hear?"
"Hear what?" Lianne asked
"After we left yesterday, Song Yu couldn't pay all their bills and they had to contribute to pay the rest. I don't know what she told them, but they are still with her but their pride has been leveled" Hye Jin said
"I even heard that she threw up a fit over the prices and she threatened to sue the restaurant." Hye Jin said
The next day, Lianne was beginning to get worried and she had had enough of the excuses Ji Huan kept telling her.
She called Ji Huan yet again
