A Marriage So Lethal (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 79

Before she knew it, Se Ah had hidden herself through the back gate. While descending the hill almost at a run, she instinctively kept glancing back over her shoulder.

Director Lee’s voice, already unnaturally low and grave, had sounded intensely serious. Her legs, moving as if chased, trembled uncontrollably.
