Acts We Shouldn't Do (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 98(1)

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

Choi Ji Hwan, who everyone 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 newspaper had broken a major exclusive.

Unless someone was backing him, that timid man would never have dared stab her in the back like this. Seung Hee didn’t even need to wonder who was pulling the strings—there was no one but Kang Tae Seo.

At first, he never would have dared betray her outright. But standing before Kang Tae Seo, who shoved evidence of his affair right in his face, Secretary Choi—whose courage was no bigger than a grain of rice—must have trembled uncontrollably.

In the end, he probably accepted the offer and hid out somewhere in the countryside, waiting for the right moment to give that interview.

But what did any of that matter now?

The truth was, Seung Hee hadn’t known anything about the specific employee’s misconduct. Although she held the title of chairperson, all the actual work had always been handled by her subordinates. Naturally, she’d never paid attention to what went on beyond her line of sight.

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

“Please say a word!”

Born as the only daughter of a chaebol family, she’d had countless choices. Even the path chosen for her by her parents would have led her down a bed of roses. As Seung Hee bitterly reflected on her past mistake, she suddenly remembered Yoon Se Na, who had died.

That girl had appeared out of nowhere and, until then fearless, reduced Seung Hee to utter insignificance. She’d spoken with confidence, laughed brightly, and been loved by everyone.

In both career and love, wherever Ji Seung Hee had aspired to go, Yoon Se Na had already been there. And at the peak of her life, that woman had chosen to give it all up for her child. How Seung Hee had once mocked that decision.

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