Six years later, I and my four cubs blew up my ex-husband's house

Chapter 2884 Punishment to be Carried Out

Upon hearing this, Lee Ji-eun immediately objected, saying, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want."

I wasn't involved in this. I was just in a bad mood that day and confided in John.

I never instructed him to do anything, and I had no idea he would take such action.

That night, when he took me to the racetrack, he only said it was a surprise for me. I was completely kept in the dark and knew nothing about the whole thing beforehand.

Her words stunned everyone present.

John's face was filled with disbelief. He couldn't help but ask, "Ji-eun, what do you mean by that?"

Lee Ji-eun felt a little guilty under John's questioning, and her eyes flickered for a moment, but she quickly straightened her back and her tone became more confident: "Did I say something wrong?"

John, think back carefully. From beginning to end, did I ever say a single word that asked you to do anything for me?

I haven't asked you for anything, have I?

John stood frozen in place as if struck by lightning. As his thoughts raced, he had to admit that Lee Ji-eun had never explicitly asked him to do anything.

She kept recounting how Shi Ye treated her with cold indifference and how Xia Lin pretended to be innocent. She also complained that Shi Ye was clearly biased towards Xia Lin, even at the cost of damaging professional relationships and the cooperative relationship between the two clubs.

These words pierced John's heart like needles, causing him immense pain.

Driven by that emotion, I couldn't help but want to stand up for her.

At the time, Lee Ji-eun's words contained a subtle encouragement, and her tacit approval at the crucial moment clearly indicated her approval of what he had done.

However, now that it has happened, she wants to deny everything, which John finds hard to accept.

He did this entirely to protect her.

But she wanted to distance herself completely.

Thinking of this, John's face instantly turned horribly dark. He stared intently at Lee Ji-eun, his voice filled with suppressed anger, "Lee Ji-eun, don't you feel even the slightest bit guilty saying such things?"

Lee Ji-eun's face was gloomy, but she was not afraid at all. She said, "What do I have to be guilty of? Do you mean to say that I ordered you to do those things?"

If you truly have this idea, then provide solid evidence to prove it.

She knew perfectly well that John had no substantial evidence whatsoever, which was why she dared to express this attitude so openly and without any attempt to conceal it.

She was just using him, and this man was unreliable; he didn't truly love her.

Now that things have taken a turn for the better, they've also pulled themselves out of the situation.

She even offered her body to do this, how could she possibly admit to the crime?

John's eyes turned bloodshot as he stared intently at Lee Ji-eun's cold and arrogant face, as if he had finally seen her true nature.

He stood there stunned for a long time, seemingly unable to believe what he was seeing. Finally, he let out a cold laugh, his voice filled with bitterness and self-mockery.

He said in a low voice, "Fine...fine...I admit defeat in this matter."

How ridiculous... How ridiculous that I used to like you so much, trust you so much, yet I never imagined you were like this at heart!

His tone was filled with despair and helplessness, as if a long-standing relationship had completely collapsed at this moment.

John was almost overwhelmed with regret as he spoke.

He never imagined that he would ruin his hard-earned career for such a heartless woman.

The price he paid was far too high.

He gritted his teeth, his voice filled with barely suppressed anger and self-mockery: "No wonder Shi Ye has never liked you."

Only someone as foolish and blind as me could not see through your beautiful exterior and the hypocritical face hidden beneath!

Lee Ji-eun, you deserve it! You'll never get the person you truly love in your entire life!

Tokino must have seen through your true colors long ago, which is why he doesn't even bother to look at you!

You'll forever remain cowering in your dark corner, watching him and others be happy with envy!

When he got excited, John's face contorted, looking somewhat ferocious.

Lee Ji-eun, standing opposite, was completely enraged by these words. Her face turned ashen, and her chest heaved violently.

Her originally beautiful features were almost distorted by anger, as if she was about to lose control and explode at any moment.

Seeing that the two sides seemed about to clash again, the police immediately spoke up sternly to stop them, "Enough! This is a police station, not a place for you to cause trouble! Calm down!"

Lee Ji-eun was on the verge of exploding with anger, but she had to forcefully suppress it, forcibly pushing her emotions back into her heart.

……

By this time, Tokino had already taken Charlene back to school.

Charlene opened the car door, turned around, and smiled as she said goodbye to him.

She suddenly remembered the recording of the show and casually asked about the filming arrangements for the third episode.

Tokino told her, "We're leaving tonight."

Charlene's smile deepened upon hearing this, and she said encouragingly, "Brother Ye, you must complete the mission well then! We can't let others catch up with us, or we'll lose points!"

Shi Ye nodded slightly, his expression calm but serious: "I'll try my best, and you should also attend class properly."

However, if we really lose, you'll have to be punished along with me.

Charlene looked surprised and asked in confusion, "Huh? Can the punishment be carried over to the fourth term? It shouldn't be, right?"

Shi Ye's lips curled up slightly, a hint of amusement flashing in his eyes. "I can request the production team to retain the punishment."

Charlene's eyes widened, and she retorted with a mix of coquettishness and protest, "Can't... we share the prize, but Ye-ge have to bear the punishment himself?"

Shi Ye was amused and replied with a hint of teasing, "You're quite self-righteous, aren't you?"

Charlene blinked, looking utterly innocent, and said, "How can you blame me? You're the one with more experience!"

After all, Emily really gave you a lot of trouble in the first mission, and you handled it so well.

Of course I need to learn more from you.

Shino stared at Xia Lin with great interest, his face displaying the typical "the more the merrier" expression, as if anticipating what interesting things would happen next.

Suddenly, Shi Ye reached out and pinched Xia Lin's cheek. The gesture was both intimate and playful.

He said with a smile, "This time it won't work. We're in the same group, so if something happens, we'll share the burden."

If the mission fails, then we'll all be punished.

There's no room for negotiation on this point; don't even think about sneaking away.

Charlene was completely taken aback by Shi Ye's actions. The warm touch on her cheek stunned her, and she stared blankly at Shi Ye.
