A Marriage So Lethal (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 85
Se Ah’s gaze, which had been fixed on the photo for a long while, finally lifted. Unexpectedly, a faint smile lingered at the corner of her lips.
“Just as I expected—Mr. Cha Gang Woo is indeed a man you can trust.”
Even Director Lee, whose expression rarely shifted, revealed a trace of bewilderment—his stubborn eyebrows briefly twitching upward.
“I know my father-in-law’s character better than you think. If he’d entered the room, he surely would’ve taken that photo—but all he’s showing you is a shot of him standing in the lobby? Besides, I already knew he’d spent time at the BAR. Mr. Kang Woo told me he’d shared drinks there with the G-Comms branch manager and Ms. Min Young.”
Director Lee chuckled silently, as if thoroughly amused—though a moment later, his gaze grew utterly devoid of emotion.
“Congressman Cha’s political standing isn’t what it used to be. Since switching parties, he’s secured strong backing. If he wins re-election, even Representative Cha’s estranged maternal family—who’ve been ignoring him up until now—will have no choice but to extend their hand. And if he even links himself to G-Comms through marriage, all the better.”
“I’m already aware of that much.”
“Then do you also know this? Just how deeply corrupt Congressman Cha is—how, if this were exposed, the whole world would flip upside down.”
“…….”
“To secure Ji Se Ah, Representative Cha *must* bring down Congressman Cha—but he absolutely cannot. Not even if he harbors not the slightest affection for his own father. A man like Representative Cha, who thrives on pride and perfection, would never endure having every one of his dirty secrets dragged into the light.”
“…….”
“If Congressman Cha falls, Representative Cha’s business empire collapses too. Public opinion would fix its gaze solely on Representative Cha—the son—and shake him to his core. Prosecutors would launch a full-scale investigation. Everything he’s painstakingly built could vanish in an instant. To believe he’d abandon all that—just to choose Ji Se Ah—is either naive or reckless.”
Each word Director Lee spoke pressed heavily onto Se Ah’s chest. The very scenario she’d desperately tried to deny materialized before her, choking her breath away.
“……Why tell me all this? What does it have to do with you, anyway?”
“So you walk away first—without clinging to foolish sentiment. Don’t just lie down and let them crush you to death.”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
