“What should I do…?”
Yuri was pacing in front of the door. The thoughts in her head, where she absentmindedly chewed on her nail with no day to draw blood, were complicated.
Before she knew it, she ended up taking over the room where Kang Tae-seo used to stay when he was young, the main residence of Kang Sun Group’s chairman. However, since Tae-seo went there in the evening, her anxiety grew even more. Moreover, she couldn’t easily fall asleep in the changed environment.
So, a little while ago, Yuri went downstairs with the intention of asking for a warm glass of milk. It was unexpected that she would encounter Manager Im Hong-jin, who returned late from a business trip to Jeju Island.
“Uh, h-hello.”
“…We’ll talk later.”
Im Hong-jin, who frowned like someone who had seen something unpleasant, moved his feet to the inner study without even changing his clothes. Yuri, stiffened with fear, stood in front of the stairs and overheard Manager Im Hong-jin and Chairman Kang Shin-jae arguing loudly.
“Yeon-hee died in front of me. The person I wanted in my life was only her!”
“How can that be Tae-seo’s fault? Tae-seo…”
“If only that child, only that child, hadn’t been born!”
“…How can a person be so unfortunate? It’s been several years since those days! Shouldn’t anyone still harbor resentment? Are you trying to ruin the happiness of an innocent child just to live? Do you think that will ease your conscience?”
“Yes, I will.”
“…Try it. I’ll do my best to make sure Tae-seo lives well. Even though his father is in this state, you, as his mother, should support him.”
Every house has its own story, but Kang Shin-jae, the chairman, didn’t know that he treated his son Kang Tae-seo so horribly. Just listening to Chairman Kang Shin-jae’s words made it seem like he wouldn’t bat an eye even if Tae-seo died right now.
From what she heard, it seemed like Tae-seo was blamed for someone’s death. However, judging by Manager Im’s reaction, it seemed like an unfair situation for Tae-seo.
“Oh, what is this? I thought he was the crown prince! Turns out it was just a furball!”
Yuri, biting her nails while sealing her lips, had no worries or sympathy for Tae-seo, who was disliked by his father. She was only attracted to him for his handsome appearance and what he possessed.
She dreamed of a luxurious life, looking forward to the day when she would become the owner of the top domestic company. She believed that Kang Tae-seo, the sole legal heir of Chairman Kang Shin-jae, would smoothly inherit Kang Sun Group. When she first visited Kang Sun Electronics headquarters, Yuri didn’t know what she was expecting. She just hoped to grab something, anything, that could catch Chairman Kang Shin-jae’s eyes.
But Chairman Kang Shin-jae sided with her. Yuri, who unexpectedly caught a stroke of good luck, was immersed in a fantasy. Although she thought everything was now wrong, it felt like she had found a shortcut to the dream she had longed for, where her dream could turn into reality.
However, judging by the situation, it seemed that Kang Shin-jae had no intention of passing Kang Tae-seo the control of Kangsun Group. In the midst of wishing for his son’s unhappiness, he seemed reluctant to relinquish wealth and power.
“You acted all high and mighty, but in the end, you were nothing special. Hmm… It’s a shame to let it go like this, though…”
Kang Tae-seo was truly the owner of looks and charisma that could slap even a celebrity. He was the only man in the chaebol world who made her heart race.
Since meeting Kang Tae-seo, there had been more than a few occasions when Yuri had imagined herself placing her hands on his broad shoulders, caressing his smooth cheek, and leaning against his firm chest.
So, it was natural for Kang Tae-seo, who had been expelled from Kangsun Group and turned into a pauper, to captivate her.
“For now, it seems like Grandma is on Tae-seo’s side.”
Yuri, who had been considering whether to step back even now, decided to observe the situation a bit more. No matter how much she thought about it, it was too wasteful to give that radiant man to Yun Jae-in.
Thinking about meeting eyes with Kang Tae-seo, about having him caress her cheek, and imagining herself pressing against his solid chest, Yuri’s body had melted more than once.
In the place where Yuri had been captured by jealousy, her whole body trembled. Yuri, who was grinding her teeth in anger, rolled her large pupils back and forth as if her whole body was surging with blood.
I should be in that position. It was only appropriate for me to receive Kang Tae-seo’s affectionate gaze, not someone like Yun Jae-in.
“I didn’t covet Yun Jae-in. Yun Jae-in coveted me. Without knowing the subject. Dirty.”
Regardless of the truth, Yuri, who had rationalized things as she wanted, stared at the frame inside the display case like licking it persistently.
It was a photo taken when Tae-seo graduated from preschool in England. It was also the only item that could be guessed as the owner of the room.

The demon lord’s eyes were red with fury:
“This is all your doing! Today, I won’t rest until I kill you!”
