It was morning and Nicole was discussing about Peter Jung with her stepmother. She had briefly explained to the latter through a phone call and Garcia Han came to her house to discuss more about it.

"Are you saying that Peter Jung is the one behind everything?

" Garcia Han asked Nicole with disbelief written all over her face. She never once thought of this.

Peter Jung knew everything about her yet he feigned ignorance all this time?!

"He is the worst,

" Nicole said.

"You won't be able to guess the things that he did.

"

Garcia Han thought of Peter Jung and Colin Park. The two men whom she thought were just some losers... she was more than stupefied. They worked together in destroying her life?! What a good act they show!

"What are you trying to do?

" She asked Nicole.

"I'm not sure for now but... everything will be over in a week or two,

" Nicole responded.

"It's a risky move, Nicole. You must be careful.

" Garcia Han firmly said. She still couldn't believe how she utterly failed to see through those two men!

Come to think of it, it was Colin Park who suggested that if Nicole was to get engaged, it would be good if the man was the Prime Minister's son. After giving a deep thought about it, she agreed that Leon Jung was a good choice. Was that a part of their plan too?

"I know,

" Nicole said.

"I'm not alone, so I will be fine. You should think about yourself. I won't change my mind about the thing that we discussed before.

"

Her words put Garcia Han in a daze. What was she supposed to say? She didn't know. Why were both Nicole and Carson so hard to deal with? While she thought of these, she was interrupted by the appearance of someone.

They weren't alone here? She blinked in surprise, staring at the two women who came out of the guest room.

Hearing the sound, Nicole turned around and quickly rose from her seat.

"You're up? Do you have a good sleep?

"

Leon's mother who was sitting in the wheelchair nodded with a smile.

"You have a really nice bed. It's been a while since I have such a good sleep.

" She paused and briefly glanced at Garcia Han.

"You have a guest? Did we disturb you?

"

"No, Mrs. Lee. This is my mother. She comes to visit me.

" Nicole said to the woman with a little smile.

Her mother? Now that Norina Lee took a clear look at the woman, she finally realized that she used to see her on the news too. The Minister of Justice.

"She is Leon's mother,

" Nicole said to Garcia Han.

Leon's mother? The Prime Minister's wife? Wasn't she already dead?! Garcia Han just kept staring at the woman with a flustered face.

"I'll explain later,

" Nicole muttered to her in a low voice.

Meanwhile, Leon was having an unwanted guest though it was still early in the morning.

His father kept on calling him last night and he only picked up once. He didn't even talk to him properly and now, he showed up in his house.

"Shara disappeared again.

" Peter Jung said in a stern voice.

"Did you plot something with her?

"

All Leon Jung did was standing opposite his father. He didn't even bother to answer his question and just stood there with an annoyed face.

"Leon Jung!

" The Prime Minister snapped.

"I'm really tired of you going against me! I also have my limits.

"

"You're tired?

" Leon's lips curved into a slight smirk.

"Then just disowned me. I'm not even your biological son.

"

Peter Jung's face turned pale at his son's words. How did he...

"Shara told you?

" He asked.

"How dare she do that after vowing not to tell you!

" He paused, glancing at Leon's nonchalant face.

"Even if we're not biologically related, you're still my son. I raised you that way.

"

Leon stood still for a while before he turned his back at his father.

"Leave. You're not welcomed here.

"

"Leon.

"

"Just leave before I lose my patience.

" Leon snapped and then turned around.

"Don't even say that I'm like your own son. That's so laughable.

"

The Prime Minister's eyes grew wide at Leon's remark. Laughable? He thought that he raised him the best he could. He admitted that he was violent at times but he always wants the best for him. He never thought of him as someone who was not blood-related to him and he said... laughable? When did things go wrong?!

"You meet your mother, right?

" The words escaped his lips before he could even realize. He regretted it somehow but... he knew very well that his son was the one who made a move yesterday. Aside from him, who would have done such a thing?

Hearing his father mentioning her mother was enough to make Leon Jung lost his cool! What a shameless being!

"Just shut up and leave.

" He uttered in a dangerously low voice. Clenching his fists tightly, he said,

"You don't have the right to talk about my mother.

"

"Leon -

"

"You said you raised me like your own son. How could you do that to my mother and still have the audacity to say such things? You know how much my mother means to me! You know how much I suffered when I thought that she was dead!

"

He paused and glanced at his father with disgust.

"You're not even a human, just a dreary monster.

" He snapped.

Peter Jung was at a loss for words! His son had never treated him this way and the situation was too unfamiliar for him. Monster? Was that how he really thought of him?!

"Leave now. I don't even want to see you anymore. You scared me.

" Leon spatted. He turned around and walked upstairs. Though Peter Jung called his name again and again, he turned a blind eye to it and enter his study.

The moment he entered his study, he felt as if all his energy were drained out of his body! Pressing his back against the door, he slowly lowered his body until he sat on the floor.

What did he do wrong for his life to be such a mess? What was he supposed to do now? He felt too lost to the point where he felt it tormenting.

Peter Jung walked out of Leon's house and entered the backseat of his car.

Throughout his way back to his house, he couldn't even think properly. His son's cold and cruel demeanor which he received for the first time... he can't get it off his mind!

Even if they weren't biologically related, though he might lack in many ways, he truly cared about him. Why can't Leon see that? Why?!

He was the type of person who always knew what he did but... for the first in his life, Peter Jung felt lost. How was he supposed to handle this matter?

It seemed like Leon truly hated him now and that was the last thing he wanted.

He reached his house after riding for forty minutes and gets off his car. Even when he entered his house, he felt so weak. It was only then he realized that Colin Park was waiting for him. He didn't even say anything and instantly walked up to his study and Colin Park followed him up.

"What did he say? Did he do it?

" Colin Park asked as soon as they enter the study. However, Peter Jung didn't respond and stood near his desk, with both his hands pressing against it.

Colin Park could instantly guess that the meeting didn't go well. It really was Leon Jung's doing?

"What would we do now?!

" He exclaimed.

"What if he cases a file about this? We will be doomed!

"

Peter Jung didn't say anything and just stood still. This made Colin Park even more desperate! All the work they put in for years was about to become futile! How could he possibly be still?!

"This is not good, Prime Minister! He keeps on creating trouble for us. He is not even blood-related to you and we should just end him when I suggested! If we did that, this won't happen -

"

Colin Park couldn't continue as Peter Jung grabbed a knife on the desk and pressed him against the wall.

Peter Jung was pressing the knife against his throat and he looked at him with fear!

"Sir -

"

"I already warned you not to say that.

" Peter Jung said in a low voice. His face was darkened and when he pressed the knife against Colin Park with a bit more force, blood forced its way out and the latter clenched his teeth in pain.

"Please forgive me. I don't mean to say that.

" Colin Park uttered, panicked.

"Dare to say that just once again and I will kill you.

" Peter Jung warned and withdraw the knife.

Colin Park didn't dare to move or say anything. He stood there with his back still pressing against the wall. His face was paler than ever!

"I will think of a way to solve this matter. Leave.

" Peter Jung said in a cold voice and Colin Park left the house in a hurry.....
