“Arrogant bastard.”
Daehoon, who chuckled lowly, stood up. As he came around the desk and sat in the comfortable chair, the sound of knocking on the study’s door made him look up.
“I, about the meal…”
“Mm.”
Daehoon nodded, and Gwacheon Lady, confirming Daehoon’s nod, turned her body with a sigh. There must have been a lot of wasted food for each meal. It was because she lost her appetite after the incident occurred.
But after talking to Kang Taesuh, hunger struck. It seemed to be due to the relief of finding a clue to resolve the current situation.
Daehoon, who had been waiting for lunch to be served, leaned his head against the comfortable chair. A twisted smile lingered on his lips as he recalled Jeong Jaehoon, who visited him last night.
“Busy as you are, thank you for making time.”
“Come in.”
“Suddenly, various incidents keep happening without anyone handling them, and don’t the prosecutors and media-related people all avoid Chairman’s calls? The informant who claimed to have caused the incident seems to have disappeared without a trace.”
“…What are you here for?”
Daehoon, with an expression as if asking who came to make fun of him, raised his eyebrows obliquely, not hiding his uncomfortable feelings.
“I’m not unfamiliar with the current situation. I’ve also been through the same method and am coping, but it’s not easy.”
“…The same method?”
“The situation seems like being covered by a tightly woven net, making it difficult to break free. I experienced the same prank. The designer is the same. It’s Kang Taesuh’s doing. It’s clear that Kang Taesuh is currently manipulating everything from behind with extensive information and funds.”
At first, he didn’t believe it. After all, Kang Taesuh had no reason to hold a grudge against him. His engagement with Yuri had been broken, and they had no further connections. Daehoon thought there was no reason for Kang Taesuh to shake Hyunyang Construction so vigorously.
“Why do you think that?”
“Jaein, Yoon Jaein said.”
“Why would that child…”
“Kang Taesuh is currently with Yoon Jaein.”
Watching Jaehoon speak as if he had kidnapped someone, Daehoon suppressed a smirk. Only now did he recall what his wife had said.
Kang Taesuh seemed to know something, expressing anxiety about Yuri’s marriage. Urging him to investigate, even appealing to the late Yoon Seyna for help.
Was this what it was about? The quiet girl seemed to have captured the man whom Taesuh could not subdue no matter what. Why was that quiet girl drawn to Kang Taesuh? Was it simply a matter of attraction between a good man and woman?
No, it couldn’t be. It was clear that, on behalf of his daughter who hated him, Kang Taesuh had taken action. Just for a woman. Daehoon could not understand it at all.
Daehoon did not think that he had been rejected by Yoon Seyna. He had rejected Yoon Seyna. He had taken this position by rejecting the woman who had his child.
It was a big sacrifice in Daehoon’s life. Though it was regrettable to let go of the sweet thing he had to give up for success, Daehoon considered himself admirable for not being swayed by temptation.
However, a guy who claims to be a businessman falls into a trap like this, engaging in such actions. In the end, he was a pathetic guy. He was a foolish guy, like my father who once got caught up in the illusion of love and tried to leave the family.
“That guy undoubtedly seduced Jaein. Turning dirty words into something plausible and deceiving innocent Jaein…”
Jung Jaehoon, who came to find me with flashing eyes, already seemed half crazy. His eyes, which continued to mutter the same words, sparkled with madness.
How did it get tangled up like this? Daehoon, who silently clicked his tongue inwardly, immersed himself in his thoughts.
Whatever the reason, the fact that his daughter got entangled with the successor of Kangsun Group wasn’t a bad situation for Daehoon. Rumors circulating about their meeting, envious glances—these were all things Daehoon could handle.
If used well, it was a situation where he could seize the weakness of a playful puppy running around without knowing how dangerous it was. Daehoon lowered his head, pretending to be unaware, to catch the fool who came running to him.
“You, if a person is reckless, there’s a way to go wrong. Why did Kangsun Group unnecessarily bother with me and you?”
“Really. Due to the thoroughness of the work, it wasn’t possible to confirm, but now, other than Kang Taesuh, I can’t think of anyone targeting Hyunyang Construction, Hyunyang Foundation, and me. It’s unrelated to Kangsun Group. It’s all that bastard turning his eyes to Jaein, personally…”
“Well, be careful with your words. I didn’t ask to hear such things.”
As Daehoon frowned uncomfortably, Jaehoon’s face, feeling the discomfort, turned a dark red. Jaehoon, who had been nervously shaking his legs, unexpectedly offered something to him.
“It might not be a big help, but you might be able to put out the urgent fire.”
“You…”
“I don’t need anything. I will be satisfied if Jaein allows me. That’s all I need.”
