Not even aware of that, she spoke to Hanna, digging her son’s grave because of her.
Jahyun wanted to bite her tongue out of misery.
“Oh, it’s a misunderstanding, Mother! I’ll go right away and find out what happened to Dad.”
But, to Jahyun, who had already learned Jae-ik’s intentions, there was no longer any trust left.
“You don’t need to come back here in the future.”
There’s no point in making a fuss since you’ll be doing my father’s spying work.
“Mother, this is really unfair. How can you not listen to me and go to that woman…! I’ll meet Dad right away to find out what happened!”
Hanna, who glared at Hyojin with disdain, walked out of the long corridor, making the floor ring with her high-heeled shoes.
Only after Hanna’s footsteps, which went unheard by Jahyun after leaving the ward, did tension release, and she slumped down.
“Grandmother!”
“Are you okay, Mother?”
While Nam Team Leader supported Jahyun and sat her down on a long chair placed in the corridor, Hyojin took water from the water cooler and handed it to Seungyul.
“Grandmother, please have some water.”
Jahyun, who received a sip of water from the paper cup tilted by Seungyul, straightened her back with all her strength and sat down.
“Nam Team Leader, when is the personnel committee?”
“It’s tomorrow morning at 9 a.m.”
Ha, a person collapsed due to illness.
To wait like this right after collapsing seemed so empty.
“Immediately convey to that scoundrel Kang Jae-ik. If he doesn’t cancel it right now, I’ll go and turn everything upside down!”
For eight years, running day and night, entrusting her son, who was her flesh and blood, to her mother.
She couldn’t let this happen, determined by Jahyun’s hands above Seungyul’s.
“Grandmother, I’ll go with you.”
“What?”
The eyes of Nam Team Leader and Hyojin widened, including Jahyun.
“Even Dad inherited the company instead of Grandfather, who passed away when he was seven.”
Now I’m nine years old, not even ten, eating rice cake.
Seungyul firmly closed his jaw as he handed over the cup of water tilted by Hanna.
“I’ll also attend the meeting and persuade them.”
Our dad will definitely wake up and come back.
“Teacher, will you help?”
“Of course.”
Seungyul, who confidently presented in front of many people during the national writing competition, continued to speak without trembling.
“Teacher believes that Seungyul can handle it well.”
Seungyul blushed as he felt the warm touch of the teacher’s hand stroking his head.
At that moment. Jae-ik’s office.
“Director, your daughter has come to see you.”
“Hanna?”
Even before telling him to come in, the impatient Hanna burst into the room where the secretary was standing.
“How can Dad meet that woman and betray me?”
Like there’s no sense of decorum.
Jae-ik, who was discussing with the secretary and planning for tomorrow’s personnel committee, sent Director Park out and closed the door.
“Aren’t you even thinking about Dad’s dignity?”
I knew since I was a child that there was no man in the world other than Choi Kyohwan, but I didn’t know he was so obsessed.
What’s so good about a guy who broke off his engagement with me, a home teacher, and had an affair!
“How could Dad do this to me? Because of whom did I break up with my brother! But how could he secretly meet that woman and betray me? Do you know how humiliated I am in front of my mother? Even if I stay quiet, we were going to break up anyway, so why does Dad make it difficult for me?”
I thought this was a golden opportunity to take over my brother this time!
“Do you think your dad is too much? To someone who collapsed due to illness. You don’t even know what Choi Kyohwan did to you.”
“What?”
Hanna was shocked as she looked at the photos that Jae-ik had thrown on the table.
“What are these photos? Why does Dad have them? Could he have stalked me?”
Moments of indulgence in host bars and clubs, drinking alcohol.
“Who sent them?”
Jae-ik looked at Hanna as if telling her to think carefully.
“No way.”
Hanna plopped down on the sofa, seemingly overwhelmed.
“Your dad tried to understand you. If you were so lonely, would he do such a thing?”
Chasing after Choi Kyohwan as if there were no men in the world since birth.
“But the guy who made you like this didn’t even reflect on himself, had an affair with a home teacher, and took these dirty pictures from behind, right after divorcing you, threatening to expose them to the media! Yet, do you still think your dad is too much?”
“Then, even though my brother knew everything, he didn’t say anything to me?”
After divorcing me, he’s going to marry that woman?
“That guy, yeah, he did.”
My daughter waited for eight years.
“Even the guy who thought about making you miserable rather than understanding your loneliness for a long time. That’s Choi Kyohwan.”
Yet, do you still think your dad is too much?
“Just do as I say without a word.”
I’ll thoroughly repay Choi Kyohwan for all the humiliation I received!
The next morning.
The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
