Chapter 1

Slap!

A resounding slap landed on Catherine Jones' face.

"You've really let me down. Your sister has had a rough time out there for more than 20 years, and here you are planning to snatch the man from her. How could you?!"

Covering the part of her face that was aching, Catherine looked at her mother incredulously. "Mom, Jin is my boyfriend. How can you guys be so unreasonable?"

Catherine had just come home after a business trip, only to see her long-lost elder sister, Rebecca Jones, sitting with her boyfriend, , Kim Seok-jin on the couch. Her sister, who returned not long ago, was holding Jin's arm and seemed intimate with him.

Seated on the other side of the couch were both Rebecca and Jin's parents who were having a pleasant chat with each other.

In fact, Jin was Catherine's childhood sweetheart!

She could not help but come up to Rebecca to question her. However, she ended up being slapped by her mother in the face right there and then!

"Mom, please stop hitting Cathy." With an anxious look, Rebecca said, "It's my fault. I shouldn't have come back..."

Jin quickly held her shoulders. "No, Rebecca. It's my fault. I've always treated Catherine as my sister, which is probably why she misunderstood my feelings for her."

Something seemed to have exploded in Catherine's head. The pain was so terrible that she could barely breathe.

"Stop!" She found those words unbearable.

"You're the one who should shut your mouth. Is this how you're supposed to speak to your sister?" Mrs. Jones told her off sulkily. "Can't you just be tolerant of Rebecca, considering that she has gone through 20 years of hardships?"

Shocked, Catherine was slightly slack-jawed.

At that point, Mr. Jones stood up and told her off glumly as well. "Are you done? Ethan isn't into you either. We still need to discuss Rebecca's engagement party now. Get lost. You're such an eyesore here."

All of a sudden, she felt like a joke.

These people were the ones she cared most about, yet every one of them was taking Rebecca's side at that moment.

Tears were seen streaming down her face.

After wiping the tears away, Catherine turned around and left with her suitcase without looking back.

She sped through the journey once she got into the Maserati.

Not knowing where to go, she stopped and called her best friend, Freya Wheeler.

"Come and have a drink."

Her voice sounded hoarse amid her sobs. Freya immediately agreed. "Sure. I'll be there in a moment."

By the time Freya rushed over to S1897 Dynamite pub, Catherine had already finished one whole bottle of drink by herself.

"You came at the right time. Let's have a drink together. I've ordered a lot."

"What's wrong?" It was very rare for Freya to find Catherina behaving in such a manner. She sympathized deeply with Catherine. "Where's Jin??"

"He's ditched me, and he's going to get engaged to Rebecca."

Freya gaped. "What kind of a campy plot is this?"

Catherine briefly told her what happened that evening.

Freya felt a sense of incredulity. Jin and Catherine were childhood sweethearts who had established a romantic relationship since high school.

Throughout these years, however, Catherine studied abroad while Ethan was busy with work. It explained why they had yet to get engaged.

Both their parents were under no illusions about it. They also gave their blessings to the couple.

Everyone in the entertainment industry knew that the couple would get married sooner or later.

Now, it turned out that Jin had gotten together with Rebecca, which would then make Catherine a laughing stock.

"This is absurd. You and Rebecca should be equally important to your parents. Are your dad and mom out of their minds?"

Catherine clutched the bottle. "They probably feel that Rebecca has suffered too much out there. Now that she's back, they just want to give her the best."

Freya was in a state of disbelief. "But you're their daughter too!"

Catherine forced out a smile.

"Hah. Now that Rebecca has returned, all they care about is Rebecca.

"Since young, they're the ones who wanted to marry me off to Ethan. Now that I'm treating the matter seriously, they're calling me immature.

"Also, Jin promised to be with me forever, yet he has changed his mind just like that. I hate him..."

Toward the end of her sentence, Catherine began to choke. Holding the bottle, she started feeling a little dizzy.

"Don't drink too much."

Freya grabbed Catherine's bottle to divert her attention from it. After that, she glanced around the pub.

Never did she expect to see a familiar figure.

"Hey, look there!"

Freya gave Catherine a push and pointed to the man who was sitting at a corner.

The man had his eyes closed and was leaning against the couch, giving off an aura of brilliance. When the rotating spotlight shone on him from time to time, he looked so attractive that his face was just like the perfect side profile one often saw in comic books.

After a glimpse, Catherine averted her eyes from him. "No matter how attractive he is, I'm in no mood to enjoy anything that's pleasant to the eye right now."

"I'm trying to tell you that the man is Jin's uncle."

Ethan previously mentioned that he had a mysterious uncle. However, his uncle managed a company in a foreign country. In Seoul,South Korea.
so she had never seen him.

A few days ago, she heard that his uncle had returned.

"My brother told me when we attended a party the other day. I heard he's clever with tricks. Even Nam-joon is at his mercy."

Kim Nam-joon was Jin's father.

Kim Tae-hyung Aged 27, Single and Mega Rich. Never been to a scandal and the black sheep of Kim Family

Catherine's eyes glowed. She had an idea crossing her mind at that instant.

"Well... What do you think will happen if I marry his uncle?"

"Pff..." Shocked, Freya spat out the wine from her mouth. "Say that again."

Catherine gazed intently at the tall, handsome figure. "Since I can't become the kim family's daughter-in-law, I shall be Jin's aunt to fill the couple with uncomfortable situations!"
