“As expected, our Chairman Jo is different. Who would have thought that Ocean Construction would reach out to the construction industry?”
“We’ll rely on Ocean Construction in the future.”
“Hahaha. If there’s anything we can help with!”
“But what about your son?”
“Oh, that guy is currently reflecting on himself, entangled in an unfortunate matter.”
“Oh, right. Chairman Jo must be feeling great sorrow.”
“No, the truth will be revealed sooner or later. I’m enduring it for now.”
“Indeed, our Chairman Jo has good patience!”
Chairman Jo’s mood soared as he warmly conversed with the two men.
This was because if he wanted to participate in the construction led by the city, it was most important to get these two men on his side.
“If it’s true that they’re planning to build the largest children’s library this time, wow, there’s no one who can follow you two!”
“Oh, that! Just when I was worried because the budget was too tight, suddenly a huge donor appeared, and it was all solved at once.”
“Amazing. It seems quite grand in scale.”
“In the era of low birth rates, children are the future, not a present reality. If we don’t invest in such children, where else should we invest?”
Assemblyman Jung remarked, avoiding controversy. Chairman Jo then turned his gaze to Park Seong-jun and asked.
“Mr. Mayor, how should we approach to seize this opportunity for our Ocean Construction?”
It was a straightforward question. In response, Park Seong-jun seemed somewhat embarrassed and hesitated for a moment.
“Well… Actually, that, the construction of the library is almost finalized in the internal affairs…?”
“Huh, has the bidding for that already ended?”
“No. It’s just that, actually, the donor recommended a specific construction company while making the donation.”
“Where is that?”
“Kim Gyeong-jin Construction.”
“Ah, if it’s Kim Gyeong-jin…”
“Isn’t he the architect who won the young architect award last time?”
Chairman Jo was somewhat surprised. Kim Gyeong-jin was more of an architect and artist than someone who built buildings.
He might be a suitable person for the largest children’s library project in Seoul, given its grand scale. If that were the case, the budget would have to be enormous, but the fact that it was all filled through donations was truly astonishing.
“To make such a huge donation, I’d like to meet them once.”
“Chairman Jo, don’t be too disappointed. I knew you would be disappointed, so I invited those valuable people myself.”
“Oh, really? How did you…?”
“I asked Secretary Kim to prepare an additional invitation and handed it to them directly.”
The invitation list was separately managed by the secretary’s office, so Chairman Jo was surprised.
However, perhaps Secretary Kim took care of it skillfully. Moreover, since Assemblyman Jung personally requested it, there would be no reason for them to refuse.
“Oh, what an opportunity! Indeed, Assemblyman Jung!”
In response to Chairman Jo’s praise, Assemblyman Jung mumbled modestly, shaking his shoulders.
“Oh, don’t make a big deal out of it. By the way, this person… it seems like it’s time for them to arrive.”
Meanwhile, at that moment, outside the hotel, a black sedan pulled up.
When Director Park got out of the driver’s seat and opened the car door, Taejoon’s dark gaze turned toward the hotel stairs.
Beyond those hotel stairs, in the banquet hall, the infamous murderer was hosting a grand party to celebrate his success.
His teeth clenched.
The fact that they were living their lives so nonchalantly, while leaving behind the breath of life that would remain in the hearts of those who lost their loved ones.
And the fact that, to others, they were wearing a mask pretending to be a successful entrepreneur while planning another murder, sent shivers down their spine.
But as of today, your glamorous life will come to an end.
As much as they suffered in the years of grief for losing their loved ones, today, in front of everyone, you will receive judgment for the crimes you have committed.
Taejoon fastened the buttons of his suit, then got out of the car and helped Seorin get out of the car.
Even when he left the house, he felt it, but today, Seorin was more elegant and beautiful than ever. Like a queen enjoying the finest dinner.
Extending his hand to her, he whispered.
“Are you ready?”
In response, Seorin gracefully took his offered hand and nodded.
“Of course.”
Now, it’s showtime!
