“Our father’s name is Jung Junghyun, and our father’s mother, my grandmother, is Kang Juhwa. She holds the position of PR Group Chairman.”
“…What?”
They couldn’t believe it, but simultaneously, they all looked at Sophia.
It seemed as if they were demanding an answer.
“Do you want to hear a denial from that ahjumma rather than me? But looking at her keeping her mouth shut, can’t you understand the mood?”
For a moment, the women’s faces turned to shock.
“Ahjumma, too. Even though her husband was demoted to vice president from the CEO position, does she want to lie to her friends?”
“Vice… Vice president?”
To those bewildered women, Summer spoke.
“Because of the significant wrongs committed by this ahjumma’s sister-in-law and husband, it turned out like this. If by any chance, my words are wrong, say it.”
Sophia remained silent, offering no response.
“And this ahjumma becomes more shameless the more I see her. Do you want to pretend to be the owner, acting like the mistress attached to the in-law’s house? Fine, let’s understand that. But at least, ahjumma, you shouldn’t insult the Blue House staff who work for you. Aren’t they not just disposable when you’re bored? And you.”
Summer’s gaze shifted to the women in front of her.
At the same time, she gestured to the Blue House staff who had been observing the situation.
“Yes. Miss.”
Approaching, the staff bowed respectfully to Summer.
As a result, the women became even more frozen.
Summer addressed them, saying, “Immediately kneel and apologize to our staff.”
“What did you say?”
“If you made a mistake, you should apologize, right?”
“A person can make mistakes. But kneeling? Isn’t that too much?”
“Can’t you do it?”
“No matter what, I won’t kneel. Why should we do that?”
She was the woman who stood out the most among them.
“Do you want to leave the lectern?”
“…What are you saying?”
“If you don’t want to, you don’t have to. Instead, conduct your Ph.D. work at home from now on.”
“What? Are you crazy? Are you saying you’ll force me to resign from my position at the school?”
Summer responded, “Yes.”
“…Are you insane? How can you say that without even blinking? Don’t you know that’s illegal?”
“Irrespective of legality, I don’t care. I will definitely dismiss you. Teaching students with such a low-grade personality is a sin. And even if your husband seems to be running the company, I will thoroughly crush that. I will show you the pyramid hierarchy you like so much.”
Her eyes seemed to bulge out for a moment.
“Stop talking nonsense!”
It was Sophia.
She stood up abruptly, glared at Summer, and said, “Where are you raising your voice when you can’t even be acknowledged as a granddaughter by your aunt! Hey, don’t believe this woman’s words, everyone! She doesn’t have that ability!”
Summer grinned, watching the excited Sophia.
However, instead of responding, she addressed her friends.
“You have to choose who is crazy carefully. And who is really at the top of the pyramid.”
Laughing calmly, Summer looked at the troubled women.
“Well, if you can’t believe it, there’s nothing I can do.”
At that moment, a woman who had been watching discreetly quickly knelt down and shouted, “I made a mistake!”
Summer said, “Not me, but here.”
She quickly changed direction, bowed her head to the Blue House staff, and shouted, “I made a mistake! I’m sorry!”
Other women who had been watching also kneeled in succession.
Sophia’s face turned pale.
The four women brought their foreheads to the ground.
Summer endured until the end, looking at the determined woman.
“It’s good to be stubborn. But do you know something? You’re dumber than a dog.”
Her face twitched.
As if it didn’t matter, Summer turned away.
“… I was wrong!”
Even she kneeled on the floor.
Sophia’s expression was stifling.
“It’s too late already.”
As Summer tried to leave, the desperate woman grabbed her leg and collapsed.
Crying loudly, she shouted, “… I was wrong! Miss, please forgive me just once!”
“You’re really stupid. Didn’t I say it’s not on this side?”
In response, she hurriedly went to the staff and shouted with her forehead close to them.
“I was wrong! I really was wrong!”
The cries mixed with tears echoed throughout the Blue House garden.
Summer said, “It’s so noisy. Now go.”
Although they glanced at each other, the women hesitated to move.
“I said, go.”
“Um, Miss…”
“If you don’t leave within one second, I’ll really cut you all off.”
Frightened, the women rushed towards the gate in disarray.
It was chaotic, with some falling and others stumbling.
However, fearing they might fall into Summer’s hands, they stumbled forward.
“Ahjumma’s expression is not great, huh? Well, she can’t even go out with her friends now that she’s embarrassed.”
Sophia turned around angrily.
“Stop right there.”
Sophia, heading toward the main building, stopped.
Summer approached her and said, “Didn’t the ahjumma apologize to the staff?”
“Why should I? Frankly, I didn’t say anything wrong!”
“You did say something wrong. Moreover, you didn’t even know the subject.”
“What does that matter?”
Watching the infuriated Sophia, Summer said, “You’re the one paying the staff, right? Still, why act so high and mighty? Even if you say something rude, that’s not how it should be.”
“Yeah, you’re so great! You must really envy being the owner of this house!”
“That’s right. It’s great. And as the owner of this house, I’m going to give you an order.”
“An order?”
“Yes, an order. Listen carefully. Those ladies will clean up after you, ahjumma.”
“…What are you saying?”
Summer spoke angrily while looking at the seething Sophia.
“Even if you personally pay their salaries, it’s not right for them to do it. Right, ahjumma, won’t you give them a hand? I think they’ve eaten enough of what you’ve served.”
“……What does that have to do with anything?”
“If you don’t clean up properly, I’ll personally take everything out of your room and throw it away.”
“…What?”
“It’s better to organize things properly. Otherwise, I’ll make you do it a hundred or a thousand times. And Head Butler Park.”
Suddenly, the servant who was outside approached Summer quickly.
“Yes, miss.”
“Give the hardworking staff some rest. And by any chance, is there any money allocated for my maternal aunt’s living expenses?”
“Yes. Madam and Sir allocated funds for the maintenance under the name of dignity expenses.”
“Take a certain amount from there and evenly distribute it to the staff who worked hard today. They deserve a bonus for their hard work.”
“…Hey, why are you messing with that!”
“If you’ve enjoyed it, you should pay, pay money. How can someone be so shameless?”
“You, you!”
“Ahjumma, work hard. Even so, with rubber gloves, it’ll be done quickly.”
Angry Sophia fiercely swung her fists.
Regardless, Summer spoke to the stunned staff.
“Everyone, go inside. And today, I’ll treat you to a snack. How about chicken?”
“That’s great!”
The staff cheered in unison.
Summer headed to the main building with them.
From behind, the frenzied Sophia screamed, but Summer covered one ear, ignoring her.

She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
