Lips are tingling.
Inyoung laughed loudly, like a person possessed by madness, as she looked at the blood under her fingernails.
Then, abruptly, the laughter stopped.
Inyoung, who had completely erased the smile from her face, continuously wiped her cheek with the hand stained with blood.
“Hoo.”
Since her time in England, Inyoung had secretly hired someone behind Chairman Jo’s back.
This person not only provided various information in place of her, who couldn’t roam around freely outside, but also did anything she asked for as long as she paid.
She simply called this person K.
While residing in Korea, K had often provided Inyoung with various information during her study abroad in England.
To avoid being caught by the surveillance appointed by Chairman Jo, Inyoung primarily communicated with K through social media accounts rather than phone calls or emails.
“…For two years.”
The DM K sent last night contained quite interesting content.
It was a request to discreetly investigate what kind of relationship her husband and Woo-yeon had in the past, and he brought back an answer.
The two had been seeing each other for a whopping two years. It was a shocking story for Inyoung, to the extent that it gave her goosebumps.
Did Chairman Jo do it on purpose?
It had been strange from the beginning. Ever since he suddenly summoned her and introduced Kim Min-jun, telling her to prepare for marriage, Inyoung had a peculiar feeling.
Why, Min-jun?
Among many people, why did Chairman Jo choose Min-jun as a son-in-law?
Besides the surface reason of wanting to get into the construction business, there seemed to be another reason.
Perhaps because he was someone who would never love her? Because he was a man with many weaknesses?
“…”
In the end, regardless of the reason, she ended up living with a man rejected by Yoon Woo-yeon.
Ah, now she understood.
“He must want me to be humiliated! Afraid I might badmouth him like I did in England, tarnishing his reputation.”
Yes, that must be it.
Chairman Jo just needed one more person close to him who would obediently listen to him, someone to keep an eye on her.
“Wait.”
Does Yoon Woo-yeon really have a relationship with Representative Cha Taekyung? Could they even be dating, let alone thinking about marriage?
No, it can’t be. It must not be.
Just thinking about the two of them makes her head spin, and a sense of humiliation washes over her.
“…I can’t let that happen.”
Inyoung recalled Seo Ji-woo, whom she met at Wedding Tower, introducing herself as the wife of Park Min-kwon.
Among the people she met that day, Inyoung could easily remember Seo Ji-woo because she, too, was a former announcer like Woo-yeon.
Without wiping off the blood on her fingernails, Inyoung opened the door to the iguana’s pen that she raised.
Then she reached deep inside.
On Saturday evening, the person Woo-yeon met was Cha Eun-hae, the CEO of Surfer Holdings.
Surfer Holdings was one of the conglomerate’s subsidiaries, specializing in four business areas: newspapers, broadcasting, entertainment, and dining, with UBC Broadcasting Station, where Woo-yeon worked, being the flagship.
She was born into the royal family, and strictly speaking, she was one of those born with the blood of a prestigious mountain.
Although she now hears that she is a Cheongil person after marrying Shin Jinseok, the chairman of Cheongil Group, her influence is evaluated to have surpassed her husband’s.
“Please have a seat.”
After the scandal involving Chairman Shin and Kang Da-hee, especially in the UBC business sector, there were rumors that they did not dare to move, and female anchors were treated like bugs.
So when she first contacted her, Wooyeon was perplexed.
Of course, there were anticipated points.
Filing a complaint about the Jung-eum incident, there was no usual pressure from the upper echelons.
Rather, there was a strong feeling that someone beyond Director Song supported her, enabling her to finish the broadcast safely.
She definitely felt this unseen power from the day she attended the social gathering as Taekyung’s partner.
Prominent politicians, reputable businesspeople, influential figures in the entertainment industry, and the wives of chaebol owners occasionally contacted her.
Their commonality was that they were deeply entangled with Myeongsan Group.
It was because of the early calculations that considering Taekyung’s age, full of the age to get married, especially with his mother in a critical condition today or tomorrow, he would soon seek a spouse.
When Wooyeon made her appearance at the social gathering at the right time, her presence had a different meaning.
If Taekyung took the position of the head of Myeongsan, the person who should shine more than anyone else would be his wife.
Even when Wooyeon was in the hospital, the number of people who visited her was dozens more than usual. The treatment was faster than usual, and a VIP-dedicated doctor was assigned as the contact person.

Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”

Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi.
