Acts We Shouldn't Do (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 103

“What should I do…?”

Yuri was pacing in front of the bedroom door. Her mind was tangled, and she absentmindedly chewed on her nails—already torn to shreds, never given time to heal.

Somehow, she had ended up occupying the room in the Kang Sun Group chairman’s family home—the very room where Kang Tae Seo had stayed as a child. But ever since Tae Seo had visited her here that evening, her anxiety had only grown worse. On top of that, she couldn’t fall asleep easily in this unfamiliar environment.

So, just a moment ago, Yuri had decided to go downstairs to the first floor to ask for a warm glass of milk. It was completely unexpected to run into Director Im Hong Jin, who had just returned home late at night after hearing the news during her business trip to Jeju Island.

“H-hello….”

“…I’ll talk to you later.”

Frowning as if she’d just seen something unpleasant, Director Im Hong Jin walked straight into the inner study without even changing her clothes. Frozen in fear, Yuri stood at the foot of the stairs and overheard Director Im Hong Jin and Chairman Kang Shin Jae arguing loudly.

“Yeon Hee died right in front of me! She was the only person I ever wanted in my whole life!”

“How can you blame Tae Seo for that? Tae Seo is…”

“If only that child—if only that child had never been born!”

“…How can a person be so small-minded? All those years have passed! Must you still harbor hatred for someone? Are you really going to ruin the happiness of an innocent child just so you can feel better? Is that what it’ll take?”

“Yes. That’s exactly what I’ll do.”

“…Go ahead, then. I’ll do everything in my power to make sure Tae Seo lives the good life he deserves. With a father like this, at least his grandmother ought to stand by him.”

Every family had its secrets, but Yuri never knew Chairman Kang Shin Jae despised his own son, Kang Tae Seo, this intensely. Judging by the chairman’s words alone, it seemed he wouldn’t even blink if Tae Seo dropped dead right now.

From what she’d overheard, it sounded like someone’s death was being blamed on Tae Seo. But judging by Director Im’s reaction, the situation seemed unjust from Tae Seo’s perspective.
