Idols Around the World 871

Chapter 871 – #97. Lanna (31)

How should I convey this to Lanna?
It was quite a shocking fact to tell Lanna, who was pregnant.

“Could you investigate further?”
“Of course. Give me more time and I’ll find out for sure. What happened.”

Bianca was usually asked to do this, so she wondered if Melissa could do it well, but she was surprisingly not bad.
It was a result not so different from Bianca.
Wouldn’t it be more comfortable not having to worry about Bianca’s twisted personality?

“Okay, is it better to meet her after she’s done her research, or is it better to let her know?”
“Well, I think both have their pros and cons. But I don’t think it’s good to say it before doing an investigation. It could just be a misunderstanding.”
“That’s right. If that’s the case, then it’s better to put off meeting until the results of the investigation come out.”

With Melissa’s advice, we decided to announce the results of the investigation later.
And by the time she was about a week old.

“This woman, after researching it, was amazing. Lanna-san’s mother’s obsession is nothing compared to this woman, right?”
“So you’re saying that what we expected isn’t a wild guess?”

The results of Melissa’s investigation were surprising.

“This woman had taken her Lanna-san’s father in the first place. She deliberately went to the same school and went to the same department. And she hired this man for her father’s company.”
“Why did she let her marry another woman when she was so obsessed with it?”
“There is no way to know such a deep content unless you are the person involved. But there are various possibilities. She didn’t work even if she tried to seduce her, or she already loved Lanna’s mother, so she was rejected. Will.”
“Well, it didn’t seem like he was a person who liked women that much in the first place. That’s why even after breaking up with Lanna-san’s mother, she must have only met two women.”

It was surprising that the woman who was so obsessed with her father-in-law allowed another woman besides herself.
Listening to Melissa’s explanation, it seemed that her mother-in-law and father-in-law had a great influence on the breakup.

“From what I’ve heard in direct interviews with her co-workers, she says that the woman did a lot of foxy things to Mr. Lanna’s father. She said that her father and her father were almost treated as husband and wife at work.”
“How did your father-in-law react?”
She said, “At first, she said it wasn’t like that, but she said that she just let it go, as if the woman was bothering to make excuses because of her hatred. Then, she divorced and the woman became more attached to her in earnest. “
“You’re more detailed than you think.”
“She was a hot topic at work. She wondered if that woman would be able to seduce Lanna’s father. She even secretly made a bet?”
“And she passed in the end.”
“Yes.”
“I think you need to listen to her mother for this part. Before that, you should discuss it with me.”

It’s already been done, but I was worried that I might be taking out her wound again and scratching it to make a boil.

“If you listen to Lanna, it doesn’t seem like you don’t have any regrets at all…”

I don’t know if she really wants to get her father back, who left her cruelly at a young age.
No matter how much it was because of the tricks of the woman who was by her side, she was wrong to be swayed by the woman’s tricks.
Lanna, at least young at the time, was a sure victim.

♧ ♧ ♧

“I found out where my father-in-law is, his contact information, and the location of his house.”
“!!”

Lanna widened her eyes at my words.

“Really?”
“Actually, it’s been a while since I found out the location, but I’ve put it off because I have a few more things to investigate.”
“What were you trying to investigate?”
“It would be more appropriate to sort out your thoughts by reading it yourself rather than saying it in words.”

At my words, Lanna checks the papers Melissa brought.
In between the documents, photographs were also enclosed.

“This woman…”
“She is currently one of the women my father-in-law is married to and lives with in a family. Do you know this woman?”
“I couldn’t remember her face exactly because I was young, but looking at the picture, I definitely remember her. I’ve met her when I was little. They say they’re my dad’s friends, buy me something delicious or take me home.”

If she recalled the woman’s behavior she investigated, she would never have done it out of favor.
Perhaps it was not used as a means to pressure her mother-in-law?

“After I checked the results of the investigation, I thought of one thing. This woman has been obsessed with her father-in-law for a very long time. And that obsession continued even after she married her mother-in-law. Could it really be a sickness for no reason?”
“… I guess I’ll have to ask her mom what happened because she was so young. But what if her mom didn’t suffer from psychosis, and the woman deliberately made her do it?”

Ranna bit her lip, saying that she would never forgive her.

“These are testimonials from co-workers. We can guess what the woman and father-in-law were related to. At least not as close as mother-in-law’s doubts, it seems that the two weren’t close. They said the two became very close and eventually got married after having a child.”
“…”

There was a situation that could be guessed naturally without much explanation.

“I think she’s been obsessed with it for quite some time. She recommended me to come to the same school, same department and company as her father’s company.”
“…She never thought there would be another woman who was so tenaciously obsessed with her. And besides, she was the one who showed her face so many times, even to me.”

Is it easy to remember the face of someone you saw as a child?
She said that when the woman appeared, she had such a big impact on Lanna that she could remember it.

“When I saw her with that woman, how much pain her mom must have suffered? She was there, and now she’s living well with her dad.”

Lanna clenched her fists as she recalled the times her mother-in-law had to suffer for her.
She knew that the woman who broke up her family was eating well and living well, but how many people would she be able to live with?

“…I’ll ask my mom first. She won’t make any more assumptions about her. She might not be.”

Given the circumstances, it’s highly likely, but it hasn’t been proven to be true yet.
No matter how much you look like that in the eyes of the people around you, you may not be the person involved.
I have also experienced many times how absurdly rumors can change.

“Is it really a good thing to ask your mother-in-law?

In my concern, Lanna shook her head.

“No. I’ll be fine. If I was that weak, my mother would have abandoned me long ago and she would have lived like an invalid or disappeared to find her father. At least, my mother regretted leaving her father like that and raised me diligently.”
“…”
“So if it’s true that her fault wasn’t her mother’s only fault then, she wants to expose that woman’s manipulative nature. She wants her mother to see her father again. She thinks so. It doesn’t exist.”

Restoration of mother’s honor.
That seemed to be the goal Lanna wanted.
Since Lanna had such a firm will, there was no reason for me to wait any longer.
With the permission of Ranna, the biggest victim at the time, she had the will to dig into this matter, so I had no reason to hesitate any longer.

“I thought you were curious? You know I’m an alien, so what’s the difference?”
“Yes, it was.”
“Now I’ll show you what aliens can do.”

To be honest, this incident was difficult to reveal unless the perpetrators honestly confessed their crimes.
Even if her mother-in-law said something happened to the woman, it was so long ago that it is not easy to gather evidence.
However, I had the ability to reveal the truth of the time, even if it was an old case.

“Shall we go see her mother-in-law first?”

♧ ♧ ♧

I went with Ranna to see her mother-in-law after a long time.
It wasn’t easy to say something bad about her grandson, whom she hadn’t seen in a long time, and her mother-in-law, who was immersed in her granddaughter’s tricks.
When the day was over and it was night.
We had a drinking party with my mother-in-law.
Wouldn’t it be possible to create a good atmosphere in which to share the story inside by sharing a drink?

“Ahh~ I don’t know how good it is these days.”
“You said you went on a trip this time? How was it?”
“Can I show you the picture you took?”
“Good.”
“Mom, he has already seen all the pictures you took and showed me.”
“Ahhh! Do you think that was all I took? Don’t worry, there are a lot of pictures I didn’t show because I took so many pictures.”

My mother-in-law gave up her job these days and fell in love with the fun of hanging out with her friends.
Both daughter and son-in-law make good money, so shouldn’t mother-in-law be able to enjoy such luxury?
She sent her friends on cruise trips and overseas trips, taking care to spend the last years of her life happily.

“So what happened? Didn’t you have something to say to me?”
“…How did you know?”
“Everyone can see that I have something to say, and even bought alcohol to do this, but it’s strange that they don’t notice.”

My mother-in-law was very quick-witted.

“Why are you taking so little time? Scaring people. Stop being afraid and tell me.”
“It’s about Dad.”
“…”

My mother-in-law, who told me to hurry up and tell her, closed her mouth.
The mother-in-law, who had been silent for a moment with a complicated expression, said with a deep sigh.

“Did you say that to your son-in-law for a good thing? It’s your fault.”
“This person asked if I would like to meet her dad.”
“…Did you miss Dad?”
“No. I just wondered what Dad was doing. Is he eating well after we left?”
“It can be. Because it’s your father.”
“Honestly, I thought it would be nice if I didn’t live well. I was really curious about how people live.”
“So. Is that man living well? Did you set the mood like this to tell me about that?”
“Yeah. But when I saw the woman my father lived with, he seemed a bit ridiculous. She was familiar?”
“… Do you remember that girl? She was that young?”

The mother-in-law was also surprised by Lanna’s words, as if she knew her well.
