In front of the building she visited, a group wearing safety helmets was gathered, pointing at the second floor. People on a crane attached to a truck were taking down the sign of “Gangnam Oseokdong Dental Clinic.”
“Who are you! How dare you take down our hospital sign without permission!”
Seeing an unexpected scene, Gwansoon rushed at the construction workers like a storm. It had only been a few months since they changed the sign, and there was no need for construction.
“Why did you take someone else’s sign without permission!”
“Oh, why are you like this!”
“Who gave you permission to take down the sign? Huh?”
Gwansoon, who witnessed an unforeseen sight, fiercely attacked the construction workers. It was only a few months ago that they changed the sign, and there was no need for construction.
“Who gave you permission to take down the sign? Huh?”
Holding the neck of one of the construction workers instead of the poorly-held safety helmet, Gwansoon glared fiercely. She saw other workers behind the worker grabbing a new sign and preparing to replace it.
And below the dental sign, a large banner was folded with a picture of her precious son partially visible. Gwansoon’s eyes flipped as she checked the inscription below.
“Chief Director? Chief Director! Why is our director a chief director!”
“Grandma, please stop and step aside. It’s dangerous!”
Gwansoon, pushed back by the workers trying to stop her, watched blankly as the new sign was being installed. Come to think of it, the window frames on the second floor seemed new, and in just a little over a week, the atmosphere from the outside had completely changed.
In no time, a new sign was hung, and a large banner was displayed in the vacant space.
Gwansoon’s face turned red as she scrutinized the signs and banners. It was not only uncomfortable that the title of vice director was added in front of her son’s name, but also that a young woman’s name was placed before her son’s. And not just one, but two.
Gwansoon took out her phone quietly and pressed the call button to find her son.
For the past few days, her son was no different than usual. He just earnestly requested that his sick mother stay at home for a while. Gwansoon’s trembling hands, surrounded by ominous premonitions, dialed the number.
“Is this how a human behaves?”
“Can’t you be quiet?”
“How can you even think of bringing that kid back home again? What? Adopted by blood? Are you crazy? Don’t you have a conscience?”
Seunghee, who found out belatedly that Daeheon tried to adopt Jaeein as their daughter, scolded furiously.
Thinking that there would be nothing more to disappoint her husband, she was amazed by her husband’s decision, made alone without any discussion.
“How can you be like this? Living with another woman’s feelings for a lifetime, isn’t that enough? And now, do I have to bring that kid under you again?”
“Even without this, you’re already crazy, what is this?”
The prosecution investigation into Hyunyang Foundation was imminent. There were rumors that the prosecution would target both Hyunyang Foundation and Hyunyang Construction. Jiseunghee and Jo Daeheon were both busy clearing things up within the house, and Yuri, who couldn’t be sent abroad due to missing the timing, stayed confined in her room.
Not long ago, they felt like they had everything they wanted. But now, with reporters swarming in, they couldn’t even turn on the lights properly at home.
Some of the employees didn’t come out after looking around the atmosphere inside the house, and Gwansoon, inconvenienced by the subcontractor workers protesting in front of the house, asked if it was okay to reduce the side dishes while feeling uncomfortable.
It had come to a point where one could burst into bitter laughter.
Stock prices hit the lower limit daily, and there were rumors that a motion to dismiss the chairman would be presented at the upcoming extraordinary general meeting. Pressured financially from all directions and held responsible for the situation, the company’s value was shattered.
“Are you sane? All because of who! It’s your fault for not managing the company properly!”
The Hyunyang Construction and Hyunyang Foundation-related incidents continued to be reported in newspapers and news broadcasts.
Amid debates about whether Hyunyang Construction would collapse, an entertainment documentary program from a certain broadcasting station conducted an in-depth investigation into the double life of the owner of Hyunyang Construction.
Thanks to that, everyone was holding their breath, while only Director Kim was busily commuting between home and the company. Seunghee, too, hadn’t even had time to tidy her hair for several days. Unkempt fingernails bothered her eyes, not properly managed in time.
Even if there were embezzled slush funds taken abroad, it was a situation where they couldn’t easily retrieve them. However, there was no place to escape when the whole country was pointing fingers at the Hyunyang Group. It was truly a situation of being trapped inside the house.
“Your mother has money for you. Give it to me.”
“…Are you crazy? What about the money our dad left for us? Where did it all go?”
Seunghee shouted fiercely, looking at her husband, who had grown a rugged beard for days, supported by resentment. However, Daehoon, who had no intention of soothing his wife, just smirked and turned away.
“Now that Secretary Choi isn’t around to leech off us, your situation seems amusing.”
“What, what? What did you just say?”
“Aren’t you the one without a conscience?”
“What?”
Even if there was a partner who had been having an affair for a long time, she didn’t want to hear that her husband, who had even had a child with another woman, lacked a conscience.
Daehoon might claim that the affair with Yoon Se-na happened before marriage, not an extramarital affair, but hiding the existence of the child was a fact. Therefore, in Seunghee’s opinion, her husband didn’t have the right to talk about a conscience like this.
“Don’t you care about whoever I meet or whatever I do?”
Seeing Daehoon just silently listening without denying, Seunghee’s eyes seemed to ignite.
“You say that now after neglecting my conscience? While I was planning to use our adopted daughter as a front for my business?”
“Business, huh? Is that the only way you can put it?”
“If it’s not business, what else? Do you want me to say that I’m taking care of our grown-up daughter, even if it’s late?”
“Sure, Jaein is my daughter, so I should take care of her.”
“My daughter? Did you just say she’s my daughter? Our Yuri! Our Yuri, who doesn’t even look at me! Our Yuri, who is hurt and locked up in her room!”
“Our Yuri?”
Shaking her disheveled hair for a moment, Seunghee screamed. It seemed she was ready to grab anything visible and throw it. Daehoon, who had been silently watching, stepped forward toward Seunghee with a mocking smile in his colder-than-ever gaze.
