A Dizzying Pregnancy Scheme - Chapter 17

Belatedly realizing that she had spoken about her secret plan with her own mouth, Lee Yun Sook hurriedly changed the subject.

“When did I say such a thing? I only meant that I wanted to fire you at any time because you were incompetent as the World Fashion team leader.”

Yoon Ga Eun further provoked the agitated Lee Yun Sook.

“You just said it yourself, Mother. You asked if I did it to take revenge for being kicked out of World Group. Is that really what you meant? Was it you who gave money to the factory manager?”

As Yoon Ga Eun turned the tables and pressed her, Lee Yun Sook was startled and took a step back.

“Why are you suddenly accusing an innocent person? When did I ever say such a thing? I feel like my head is about to explode, so hang up!”

Lee Yun Sook, having her tail stepped on, hurriedly hung up the phone. After ending the call, Yoon Ga Eun quickly dialed another number.

“Did you deliver the package to the newspaper company well, to make sure this article can’t be covered up?”

A man’s voice with a stiff tone was heard from the other end of the receiver.

[I delivered the package exactly as you instructed.]

In the past, due to the sole fact of being World Group’s adopted daughter, she couldn’t properly reveal the corruption even though she knew about it. It was always because of the feeling that she owed a great debt to Lee Yun Sook.

But when she learned that she was World Group’s biological daughter, her thoughts changed. There was no longer any reason to live with her head bowed, nor any reason to keep quiet under false accusations.

“Thank you for your hard work.”

Yoon Ga Eun’s brow furrowed as she hung up the phone. Surely, Lee Yun Sook would now be desperately using her connections to try to cover up this incident.

Yoon Ga Eun had anticipated this and secured leverage against the newspaper president who covered up Lee Yun Sook’s corruption. If President Park had opened the package by now, he would not answer Lee Yun Sook’s call.

Yoon Ga Eun checked the real-time updates of Lee Yun Mun’s corruption case on internet news. As she expected, the newspaper company did not manipulate the search keywords for this case.

Lee Yun Mun was the first person Lee Yun Sook appointed to World Group after marrying Chairman Yoon. From that time, Lee Yun Sook began planting her allies one by one in World Group affiliates.

On the surface, they all seemed to be on Chairman Yoon’s side, but they were people who could stab him in the back at any time without it being strange.

Yoon Ga Eun sighed in relief and stood up from her vanity chair.

She planned to cut off World Fashion’s Director Lee Yun Mun now, and then World Food’s CEO Lee Ji An next. Just as Yoon Ga Eun put down her phone and came out to the living room, she ran into Oh Jipsa, who had come home late.

“Madam, are you eating well?”

After greeting Yoon Ga Eun, she hurriedly checked inside the refrigerator. Oh Jipsa confirmed that all the side dishes and vegetables she had prepared were empty. With an excited face, she approached Yoon Ga Eun and spoke.

“Is your stomach feeling better now?”

Yoon Ga Eun was careful with her words, fearing that her morning sickness might be noticed.

“A little bit.”

She took out what seemed to be homemade young radish kimchi.

“I was afraid you might dislike the smell if I made kimchi here at home.”

Seeing the young radish kimchi, Yoon Ga Eun thought she would like to eat cold kimchi noodles.

At that moment, Oh Jipsa’s sudden arrival at an unusual time made Yoon Ga Eun suspicious. Yoon Ga Eun looked at Oh Jipsa’s face, trying to gauge her intentions. Just then, their eyes met.

“Shall I make you cold kimchi noodles? The kimchi is perfectly ripened and will be delicious.”

Yoon Ga Eun’s gaze wavered as she looked at Oh Jipsa, feeling as if her inner thoughts had been exposed.

“Please rest a little in the living room.”

Despite Oh Jipsa’s words, Yoon Ga Eun couldn’t move her feet. After contemplating for a while, Yoon Ga Eun spoke first to Oh Jipsa.

“Did CEO Ji Do Jun send you to monitor me?”

Yoon Ga Eun couldn’t predict how Oh Jipsa would react to her question.

Oh Jipsa didn’t stop making noodles even at Yoon Ga Eun’s words. Her silent lips moved again when the hot water in the pot started boiling vigorously.

“The CEO is very worried about your health, Madam. You’ve become too thin.”

Oh Jipsa evaded Yoon Ga Eun’s question with great composure.

“Do you report to the CEO about what I do in this house?”

Oh Jipsa finally raised her head and looked straight at Yoon Ga Eun’s face.

“I just prepare the food as instructed.”

She didn’t reveal her true feelings to Yoon Ga Eun until the end. Yoon Ga Eun felt uneasy at her expressionless face.

Inevitably, Yoon Ga Eun could only sit on the living room sofa and watch Oh Jipsa’s back.

“Madam, please come this way.”

At her call, Yoon Ga Eun sat at the dining table. She picked up her chopsticks and quickly finished a bowl of the appetizing noodles.

As the cool kimchi broth entered her unsettled stomach, she even felt refreshed. When Yoon Ga Eun emptied the bowl, Oh Jipsa’s heavy lips moved leisurely.

“I also craved noodles when I was pregnant.”

At Oh Jipsa’s sudden words, Yoon Ga Eun dropped the chopsticks she was holding onto the floor.

Oh Jipsa looked straight at Yoon Ga Eun’s face and continued speaking.

“I’ve known about your pregnancy for a very long time, Madam.”

Oh Jipsa continued speaking in a very calm tone.

Yoon Ga Eun’s eyes wavered as she looked at Oh Jipsa. Just then, a text message arrived on Yoon Ga Eun’s phone.

[World Group Employee. Health Check-up Notice.]

Yoon Ga Eun’s face turned pale in an instant upon seeing the message. She knew that Shin Oh Hospital was responsible for the health benefits of World Group employees, but she didn’t expect the health check-up schedule to be moved up.

After closing her phone, Yoon Ga Eun looked at Oh Jipsa’s face, trying to read her true intentions.

“What do you want from me?”

Yoon Ga Eun waited for Oh Jipsa’s answer with a highly guarded voice.

“Don’t worry. I don’t want anything from you, Madam.”

As Yoon Ga Eun was about to move her lips again with an expression of disbelief, Oh Jipsa continued.

“If I have a request, it’s that you eat the food I prepare well. You’ve become too thin.”

There was no desire in her eyes as she spoke. Therefore, Yoon Ga Eun felt she could never read her true intentions. Yoon Ga Eun, who had been watching her carefully with her mouth shut, carefully opened her lips.

“Are you going to tell CEO Ji Do Jun?”

Contrary to Yoon Ga Eun’s expectations, Oh Jipsa answered her question without any hesitation.

“I don’t want to interfere between a married couple. However…”

Oh Jipsa trailed off as if lost in thought. Yoon Ga Eun felt goosebumps all over her body, as if her heart was about to drop to the floor.

“It seems CEO Ji Do Jun doesn’t have much time left to find out.”

Yoon Ga Eun didn’t know what kind of relationship she had with Ji Do Jun, so she didn’t know what to say to her.

“What’s the baby’s prenatal name?”

Oh Jipsa’s gaze, which had been gently looking at Yoon Ga Eun’s tense face, moved to her belly.

“Taeyang.”

Yoon Ga Eun unconsciously wrapped her arms around her belly.

“This must be a time when you need your husband’s love the most.”

Oh Jipsa’s voice was filled with warmth, as if she was worrying about her own daughter. Yoon Ga Eun couldn’t understand why Oh Jipsa was acting and speaking to her like this.

“I’ll organize the side dishes I brought in the refrigerator.”

Yoon Ga Eun hurriedly went to her room before any bigger secrets could be revealed. Since entering Ji Do Jun’s house, things had started to go awry one by one, making her feel anxious. As the anxiety spread, she felt her body losing strength.

A little while later, a small voice leaked in from outside.

“I’ll be going now, Madam. I’ll see you tomorrow morning.”

Yoon Ga Eun didn’t go out the door, not having the confidence to face Oh Jipsa. Only after hearing the front door close did Yoon Ga Eun slowly come out to the living room. She went straight to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator door.

Each container of side dishes was labeled with the name of the dish. The refrigerator was filled with foods good for pregnant women, to the point where Oh Jipsa’s kindness could be felt.

‘A time when you need your husband’s love.’

Yoon Ga Eun recalled Oh Jipsa’s words and repeated them aloud.

The lonely feelings Yoon Ga Eun had experienced while waiting for her appointments at local obstetrics clinics suddenly disrupted her heart.

On the faces of pregnant women waiting for their turn while holding hands with their husbands, there was no sign of anxiety or nervousness about being caught pregnant.

Yoon Ga Eun stood there for a long time, staring blankly with the refrigerator door closed. She couldn’t end something she had started so easily.

If Director Lee Yun Mun was arrested, Yoon Ga Eun would have to pretend to have lost her memory even more perfectly than before.

A deep sigh escaped from her lips. Just then, her phone rang loudly.

Seeing Ji Do Jun’s name on the phone screen, Yoon Ga Eun fiddled with the phone but didn’t answer. After two calls, a text message came from Ji Do Jun.

[Should I come up to the house?]

After checking the message, Yoon Ga Eun picked up the ringing phone again.

[Get ready and come down.]

The call that came like an order ended abruptly before Yoon Ga Eun could answer. Yoon Ga Eun had no choice but to change her clothes and hurriedly leave through the front door.

‘Why did he suddenly call me? Could it be that he has found out everything?’

As she left the apartment entrance, Ji Do Jun’s car came into view. Yoon Ga Eun took a deep breath and walked towards Ji Do Jun’s car as if nothing had happened. Just then, Ji Do Jun opened the door, got out, and called for Yoon Ga Eun.

“Get in the car.”

Yoon Ga Eun had no intention of following Ji Do Jun’s plan, which came without any explanation and was forceful.

“Where are we going?”

Yoon Ga Eun asked, taking a step back from Ji Do Jun’s car.

“You’ll know when we get there.”
