“Agh! As expected, born dirty, his actions are just as filthy!”
His pride crushed, Su Cheol trembled with humiliation.
It was an impossible task without a mole in Yu Song Group.
Su Cheol ground his teeth.
“My, my ledger! He couldn’t have taken that too, could he?”
“That’s unlikely. Even if it’s Kang Min Hyuk, he wouldn’t be able to freely invade the chairman’s office.”
The chief secretary hastily tried to calm the infuriated Su Cheol, who paid no heed.
“Check the safe. The safe! You’re the only one who knows my safe’s password! Is it you? The straw man?! You passed the files to Kang Min Hyuk!”
“No, no, Chairman. How could that be? I’ve been serving you for 15 years. I would never do that. Please trust me.”
The chief secretary panicked, shaking his head in denial, but Su Cheol didn’t dismiss his suspicion.
“You’ve been aiding me every day. It has to be you.”
“Then who the hell gave those illegal surveillance files to that bastard Kang Min Hyuk?!”
“I’ll do my best to find the culprit!”
“I’m going insane. Completely insane.”
Su Cheol felt trapped. Asking Min Hyuk was pointless, as he wouldn’t reveal who handed over the files.
“Clearly, you’re Kang Min Hyuk’s straw man.”
Su Cheol squinted at the chief secretary suspiciously.
“How could those files easily end up in that bastard’s hands?”
“Chairman, I really didn’t do it! Please believe me.”
“Then bring me the culprit!”
Su Cheol’s screams showed no sign of stopping.
“It must be someone who’s secretly in touch with Kang Min Hyuk. That means one of the executives who knew about the surveillance files.”
“Who doesn’t know that?!”
“I’m sorry.”
The chief secretary was in despair. If they hadn’t conducted illegal surveillance, this problem wouldn’t have arisen.
“It seems like the information was passed after Min Hyuk’s visit.”
The chief secretary was exasperated with Su Cheol, who kept blaming others.
Su Cheol never admitted his own faults.
“How are you going to find the culprit?”
“What?”
“How are you going to find them?! Understand when I say it once! Are you deaf?”
“I’m sorry.”
“Did you see? The executives all denied their involvement.”
“Yes, yes!”
The chief secretary rambled nervously.
Watching the foolish demeanor of the chief secretary, Su Cheol, unable to hold back, grabbed a tablet on his desk and hurled it at the chief secretary.
Bang[Dash]
The tablet swiftly flew past the chief secretary, crashing to the ground with a shatter.
“Eek!”
Startled, the chief secretary turned his head to see the shattered tablet on the floor, then quickly bowed his head again.
“Chairman, please calm down.”
“Do you think I can calm down now?! What will happen to Yu Song’s image the moment he reveals it to the media? Are you asking me to calm down when we’re about to become fodder for the journalists over the illegal surveillance? Calm down?!”
“We have no choice but to negotiate with Kang Min Hyuk, Chairman. I will contact him right away.”
“Get rid of it! How come there’s no one useful around!”
Su Cheol, shaking with frustration, placed his hand on his forehead.
“Get out. I can’t stand the sight of you.”
“Yes! Understood!”
The chief secretary bowed deeply at 90 degrees, hurrying out of the office before Su Cheol could cause more trouble.
Once the chief secretary left, Su Cheol picked up his phone.
“I’m not sure if Han Da Hyun will handle it properly.”
He hesitated for a moment while looking at Da Hyun’s number.
“Tch. Like her mother, she’s good for nothing.”
He didn’t want to inform Da Hyun of the problems at Yu Song. It was clear she would use it as an excuse to demand to see Yeon Sil.
“Is he retaliating for bringing Kim Yun Hee?”
Su Cheol’s lips twisted bitterly. This is how he strikes back.
Only Han Da Hyun could retrieve the files that had fallen into Min Hyuk’s hands.
“Da Hyun should be of some use at a time like this. Tch.”
Su Cheol recalled a man he knew long ago. A man smiling happily, holding Yeon Sil’s hand. He was envious of the smile Yeon Sil easily gave to that man.
Although he knew that man was no longer in this world, the bitter feelings remained.
“She resembles Yeon Sil too much, showing me the face of that man. I can’t bear to be fond of her. Tch.”
Every time he saw Da Hyun, Su Cheol felt uneasy. Life had been bearable when Yeon Sil was around, but ever since Yeon Sil became comatose after an accident with that man, he had wanted to erase Da Hyun from his life.
If it weren’t for the hidden contract Yeon Sil kept, he would have disowned her long ago.
Young and deeply in love with Yeon Sil, Su Cheol had forcefully proceeded with the marriage, knowing she was carrying another man’s child. He regretted that decision ever since.
“Love doesn’t feed you, but back then, what was so great that I accepted it?”
“Sign the contract agreeing to accept my child as yours. Read the terms, and if you don’t like them, don’t do it. I ca
Yeon Sil was a determined woman, and knowing this, Su Cheol couldn’t remove Da Hyun from the family register, even if he wanted to.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
