Acts We Shouldn't Do (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98

But Seung Hee couldn’t even glare at that reporter. She didn’t have the presence of mind. All the way to the car, she was jostled endlessly by the crowd.

Choi Ji Hwan, who they’d thought had gone into hiding, had recently given an interview to a small newspaper. Over a two-hour phone call, Ji Hwan revealed everything he knew, and the paper broke a major exclusive.

Unless someone powerful was backing him, that timid man would never have dared to stab her in the back like this. Seung Hee didn’t even have to ponder who was pulling the strings—it could only be Kang Tae Seo.

At first, he wouldn’t have dared to betray her outright. But standing before Kang Tae Seo, who’d presented him with proof of his affair, Secretary Choi—whose courage was no bigger than a soybean—must have trembled violently.

In the end, he’d accepted the offer and gone into hiding somewhere in the provinces, waiting for the right moment to give that interview.

But what did any of that matter now?

In truth, Seung Hee had known absolutely nothing about that employee’s corruption. Though she held the title of chairperson, all the actual work had been handled by subordinates. Naturally, she’d never paid attention to matters outside her direct view.

Yet that didn’t make her feel any more justified. After all, claiming ignorance only highlighted her own incompetence.

“My husband, Chairman Jo Dae Hoon of Jeon Hyun Yang Construction, admitted to all charges last night!”

“Please say a few words!”

Her husband—Jo Dae Hoon. Just thinking about him made Seung Hee’s stomach boil with rage, and she clenched her teeth tightly. No matter how she looked at it, that man had started this whole mess. No—actually, the real problem was her, for ever coveting something so trivial.

Born the only daughter of a chaebol family, she’d had countless choices. Even following the path chosen by her parents would have led her down a rose-petaled road. As Seung Hee replayed those past decisions—the worst she could have made—she suddenly remembered Yoon Se Na, who’d died.

That girl had appeared out of nowhere and, back when Seung Hee feared nothing in the world, had reduced her to utter insignificance. She’d spoken confidently, smiled brightly, and been loved by everyone.

In both career and love, wherever Ji Seung Hee had aimed, Yoon Se Na had already been there. And at the peak of her life, she’d chosen her child over everything else. Seung Hee had once mocked that decision so cruelly.

But now she understood: while she was alive, Yoon Se Na must have been truly happy with her child.
