Reborn: The Unexpected Twist

Lee Jinhee shook her head and voiced out, "Since it is four two, I wouldn't say that you're late. I arrived at half past three."

Nodding at Jinhee, Taeho stepped towards his seat and pulled his chair back to sit down on it. Sitting opposite Taeho, Jinhee stared straight at him.

"Did you have lunch?" Taeho questioned.

Jinhee shook her head and replied, "I was too engrossed with studying to do that."

"Exams are just around the corner, right? I have already ordered the food and it will be coming within fifteen minutes," Taeho said.

Jinhee nodded and then questioned, "Why did you call me here all of a sudden, though?"

"Did I disturb you?" Taeho asked.

"No, it's nothing like that," Jinhee said, "It's good though because I have a few things to discuss."

Taeho started, "Firstly, I want to start attacking Moonstone Enterprise and cause a decrease in profits, so that, Lee Minjoon's position will be shaken. Over all, it will be fixed in the end because Minjoon's corrupted methods will be brought to surface, and along with his incompetence, this will be enough to remove him from his position."

Jinhee nodded and then pointed out, "What about his shares though? The percentage of shares he holds of Moon Enterprise is not less."

"I have perfect ways to threaten Minjoon to sell his shares, but for that, you need to act as a bait. If he finds you threatening his position, he will try to attack you. After all, you are the biggest possible threat to him at this point," Taeho said.

"So, you know?" Jinhee raised one of her eyebrows whilst referring to the fact of her being Dowon's granddaughter.

Taeho nodded.

"In my last life, you were left unharmed by him because of how uninterested you were last time towards family business. However, if you show the opposite this time, he will try to remove you. You have to make him think as if you are the thorn in his smooth path," Taeho advised.

Jinhee said, "I understand. Don't worry. I will play along with you. It's Grandfather Dowon whom we need to worry about. He would try his best so that I do not get attacked by Lee Minjoon or his family. I need to do something to distract him."

Taeho then stated, "I will try to do something about Lee Dowon then."

"Oh! Right! I've got this evidence which could be used against Jinkyung, and using this piece of evidence, I am trying to throw her into a trap," Jinhee voiced out.

"That's good. I'll leave you to gather evidence against Jinkyung whilst I do it for Minjoon and Youngmi. Youngmi is smart; She hasn't made a move up until now," Taeho vocalised.

"I'll work on provoking Youngmi further. Sooner or later, she is bound to make a move, and now that Jaehyun is here, she will surely try to attack me." Jinhee let out a sigh.

"You might get really hurt though. Are you prepared for that?" Taeho voiced out. 

Jinhee shrugged her shoulders and said, "What's new about that? I think I can handle a few more attacks. By the way, about Lee Minjoon, how do you think I can threaten him? If I directly do something, wouldn't Grandfather Dowon be suspicious?"

After Jinhee had discussed how to proceed with their plan with Taeho, she decided to head towards the Lee Mansion and took Soyeon along with her without informing Han Taehyun.

Although Jinhee felt sort of empty without Taehyun and wanted him to come along, she knew that it wouldn't be proper to involve him in her troubles. Moreover, Jinhee wanted to do this independently, and Taehyun was too overprotective of her to let her plans go smoothly.

Pressing the doorbell of the Lee Mansion, Jinhee waited for it to ring and for someone to open the door in front of her. When the door opened, Jinhee saw a butler standing in front of her.

Seeing her, the Butler bowed and voiced out, "Welcome, Miss Jinhee."

Lee Jinhee nodded and stepped into the mansion. Taking in a deep breath, Jinhee prepared herself for all the attacks which would be directed towards her. Jinhee was aware that smooth was the last word to describe how her stay at this place was going to be.

As Jinhee stepped into the main room, her eyes grew wider in surprise when she noticed something, and she clenched her hand tightly. Han Taehyun sat on the couch whilst her so-called parents surrounded him, talking with him happily.

Lee Yeeun was smiling widely at him whilst sitting at one of his side whilst Jinkyung stood at one side as she folded her arms over her c.h.e.s.t. Jinhee could clearly see how they were all flaunting over Han Taehyun and resisted her urge to roll her eyes at how pathetic they appeared at this moment.

As Jinhee strode over to Han Taehyun, Taehyun heard her footsteps, and raising his head, he looked towards her. Wearing a wide smile upon his lips, Taehyun voiced out, "Oh! You're here, Jinhee-ah!"

 Lee Jinhee raised one of her eyebrows and questioned, "What are you doing here?"

Lee Minjoon shot Jinhee a look of disapproval. Having Han Taehee here was a great matter of honour for him, and he was afraid that Jinhee's behaviour would chase her away. If he hadn't learned about how Taehee was Taeho's sister, he was afraid that he wouldn't have attached much importance to her.

"Jinhee, is this how I taught you to behave towards our guests?" Minjoon questioned as he stood up.

Lee Jiyoung then stood up and vocalised, "Apologise to her, Jinhee. You should be more polite towards our guest. You can be impolite towards us, your parents, but when it comes to guests, you can not do that, Jinhee-ah."

Wearing a sneer upon her face, Jinhee scoffed and said, "Taehee did not come here for you all, and she won't be helping with the business."
