It had been four days since Changjeong’s funeral. Sihun officially took the position of HG Group chairman, and Minhyuk announced the launch of an AI development project while excluding Yusoong from the project.
Even with Changjeong gone, not much changed. Sihun was busy, and Minhyuk found himself with some free time as the project came to an end.
Changjeong’s lawyer announced that he would reveal Changjeong’s will a month later.
During Changjeong’s funeral, Dahyun received a call from Kim Yoon-hee.
“Chairman Han is in custody. Have you seen the news?”
Dahyun, who didn’t have time to watch the news during the funeral, learned about it belatedly through Kim Yoon-hee.
“Chairman Han’s lawyer admitted everything Chairman Han did.”
The fact that Han’s lawyer did not refute what Han did was surprising even to netizens.
“I’m thinking of visiting Chairman Han in prison. But do I really need to bother? It seems like Chairman Han is already finished, from my perspective.”
Kim Yoon-hee asked if they needed to make Han confess, but Dahyun thought it was essential to handle the situation more decisively since there was a chance that Han might escape the situation like he did before.
“I wonder what will happen to my daughter if the situation is resolved too favorably. What do you think?”
Dahyun urged her not to worry, assuring her that the treatment expenses for her daughter would be supported. She dismissed Kim Yoon-hee’s concerns.
Han Soo-cheol, whom they thought would escape the murder suspect status, ended up unable to leave the prison, facing a situation where evidence and alibi perfectly matched.
“It’s not officially written, but when revealed to the public or submitted to the court later, it might be advantageous, considering the handwritten note, the seal, and the stamp all match.”
“Father.”
Remembering what Changjeong said before he left, Dahyun gently touched the box that seemed no different from what Changjeong left for her.
Someone leaving her side was the second time after Yeonsil, making her chest tight and empty.
Although they didn’t face each other intimately or had a close relationship, thinking that they would never meet again made her feel suffocated.
There was an opinion that Soo-cheol might have used drugs to murder Changjeong, but Sihun refused Changjeong’s autopsy.
Sihun argued that there was no evidence of drugs detected, and the visible injury on the side of the head from the fall was the only thing observed, so it was okay.
Sihun disliked Soo-cheol, but he didn’t think Soo-cheol, guarded by two security guards in the hospital room, would commit a crime recklessly.
Dahyun agreed. Knowing how much Soo-cheol hated being caught by others, she believed he wouldn’t act foolishly with someone right in front of him.
Knowing Soo-cheol’s playful personality, Dahyun hoped that he would end up being a murderer and serve a long prison sentence. However, the chances of Soo-cheol being punished for the murder were very slim. No murder weapon was found, and apart from the injuries from the fall, there was nothing else.
If Soo-cheol could prove his innocence in prison, it would be difficult to put him back in.
“Now is the chance.”
Soo-cheol couldn’t come out of prison, an opportunity for him to reflect on himself and pay the penalty for his sins.
After Changjeong’s departure, Minhyuk didn’t have a detailed conversation with Dahyun about what to do with Soo-cheol. Perhaps Minhyuk knew what state Soo-cheol was in.
During Changjeong’s funeral, Dahyun didn’t say anything about Soo-cheol, finding it disrespectful. Even though the funeral was over, she still couldn’t bring herself to speak.
She didn’t consider Changjeong her father, but still, he was her father. He might feel more empty than her.
Checking the time for Minhyuk’s return, Dahyun tidied up her appearance. She couldn’t delay the matter any longer. If she procrastinated a bit more, Changjeong in the sky might scold her for not casting the fishing line properly into her dreams and setting the bait, wondering why she hadn’t thrown it.
Dahyun waited in front of the shoe rack, aligning with Minhyuk’s return time.
As the door lock clicked, Minhyuk came in.
“You’re here?”
Dahyun, reflecting on Minhyuk’s entrance, lowered her lips when she saw his urgent expression.
“Dahyun, let’s go somewhere together.”
“What happened?”
Dahyun, seeing Minhyuk urgently entering without taking off his shoes, quickly went upstairs to get ready and came down wearing only her coat.
“I caught a cold. Take your time getting dressed; I’ll wait. We’ll be taking the car anyway. And you’re warm enough with just this.”
He seemed to have expected her to come out only with her coat, sighed, and while bending down, neatly placed slip-on sneakers for her to put on comfortably.
“But where are we going?”
“It’s a secret. Don’t be too surprised when we get there.”
Dahyun felt uneasy about Minhyuk’s actions, taking her out immediately after work without revealing the destination. Perhaps they were going for a drive to change the mood.
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…?
