“Ji Han has reflected a lot. Isn’t it possible?”

He reached out his wrinkled hand and wrapped it around mine, asking.

It seemed that Ji Han, who had arrived earlier than me, had persuaded him with pleasant words.

However, the Vice Chairman sitting next to him had an incredibly serene expression.

He was merely observing the situation, perhaps curious about how I would navigate through it, without uttering a word.

“Didn’t that man mention something about a child?”

“…A child?”

“A child? Wait, what are you talking about?”

As I opened my mouth, displaying a cold smile towards Ji Han, he was taken aback and abruptly stood up.

The unexpected mention of a child made Ji Han’s pupils dilate.

The elders of the family who had been quietly observing also showed expressions of utter surprise.

“That woman was pregnant. Ji Han became the biological father of the child she was carrying.”

“…What, what are you saying? Seo Rin was pregnant?”

Ji Han seemed shocked as if he was hearing about Seo Rin’s pregnancy for the first time.

He stood frozen, his eyes shaking aimlessly, looking quite a spectacle.

“That woman he cheated with, she’s my closest junior at the broadcasting station.”

I couldn’t stand the fact that I had to relay such a pathetic piece of information.

But if I had planned to let things slide, I wouldn’t have needed to come to this uncomfortable place.

Four people came into my view, holding their breaths and watching me with a distorted smile.

“How can I forgive that man who cheated with my closest junior and even fathered a child?”

“What is all this about? A child was born? Ji Han, did you not know about this?”

As my story continued, the Chairman, who had been trembling, glared at Ji Han with a grim expression.

Ji Han was at a loss for words to answer him, who was questioning how such a thing could happen.

He must have been very flustered.

Seo Rin’s pregnancy wouldn’t have been part of his plan.

“Not answering!?”

“I’m sorry. This is the first time I’m hearing about this.”

Ji Han, who answered in a crawling voice, stood rigidly.

“It’s all my fault. Both the father and the grandson, it’s all because of women……”

“……”

“Yeo Jin.”

Amid the silence where no one dared to open their mouths, the Chairman, who was heaving a deep sigh, turned his gaze to me.

“So, what can I do for you? What do you want, do you want a divorce?”

“What I want is…”

What I wanted was to strip Ji Han, that man, of everything he had.

“Yes, I want a divorce.”

The Chairman seemed to agree with my decision for a divorce, eventually making a pained face and nodding.

Ji Han, who had been standing still in disbelief, seemed to spark at the mention of divorce.

“We can’t divorce! How can you break up with me? We’ve already had our wedding!”

Ji Han, who had been firmly shutting his mouth, eventually yelled at me as if blaming me.

Talking about a wedding, a wedding that ended even before it started.

“Shut up! Ji Han, you have no right to speak!”

I heard the Chairman’s angry voice rebuking Ji Han.

He too would have had a rough estimate of Ho Jin’s future through this situation.

If the W Group’s funds were not flexible for the largescale investment to proceed in the future, the project would be doomed.

The heir, no less, ruined the opportunity for the group to leap forward. Ji Han wouldn’t have a word to say even if he were asked to give up his position as the heir right away.

‘Not only this, but you will be the root cause of everything that will happen in the future.’

A triumphant smile spread across my face at the thought of Ji Han’s clearly painted future.

The management rights that you so desired, and of course, the entire Ho Jin Group will be handed over to Jae Ha.

As you experience those things, your insides will not just twist, each day will be painful.

Feel the pain that I felt.

‘This is the feeling of betrayal.’

“And there’s one more thing.”

As if asking what else was left, the eyes of the three people turned to me.

“I’m going to get married.”

“What?”

At the following marriage talk, the Chairman’s face turned into shock.

Ji Han, who was staring at me with his mouth wide open at my words, was visible.

“Marriage! With whom? Where is this sudden talk coming from?”

And Ji Han asked me in a trembling voice, as if it was hard to believe.

In the frozen atmosphere due to tension, only the Vice Chairman and Jae Ha were quietly observing the situation with calm eyes.

My gaze slowly moved towards Jae Ha.

At the end of it, there was Jae Ha, smiling with the corners of his mouth curled up.

“Me.”

“……?”

“I’m planning to marry Yeo Jin. Grandfather.”

The Chairman dropped the glass of water he was holding.

The cup that fell from his hand hit the floor and made a sharp noise.

Ji Han’s hand on the table trembled with anger.

The muscles around his lips, which he bit tightly, twitched.

If the elders of the house were not there, his face would have been one that would have opened his mouth and poured out harsh words without fail.

“Originally, it was a marriage planned with me. I thought I’d reclaim it now.”

Looking at Ji Han, who was flushed to the throat as shock turned into anger, Jae Ha smirked nastily.

“Seo Jae Ha!”

As if his laughter was a detonator, Ji Han let out the scream he had been holding back.

“Where do you think you are raising your voice!”

Finally, with the Chairman’s roar, Ji Han sat down in his seat.

No one opened their mouths, only looking at the food laid out on the icy cold dining table.

Finally, after a considerable amount of time passed, the meal began.

Ji Han, still glaring at me with angry eyes, was the first to kick his seat and leave.

The Chairman did not ask for any detailed information about the marriage, or the divorce.

Just continuing the meal in the suffocating dining room, it was Jae Ha who first put down his spoon.

“I will come again next time.”

“……”

“Let’s get up.”

When it became unbearably painful, as if a lie, Jae Ha took my hand and stood up from his seat.

Even after leaving the front door, he still held my hand as we walked.

“Are we going home?”

As we went back down the stone wall path we had climbed a while ago, Jae Ha asked me.

It seemed as if he could feel my hand, still faintly trembling.

“Yes.”

“Let’s go in my car. One of the secretaries will bring Miss Yeo Jin’s car.”

He, who was looking at me nodding, suddenly stopped.

In front of the door leading to the garage, a familiar figure was seen.

In the darkness, smoke was rising from the cigarette in Ji Han’s hand.

Involuntarily, my face scrunched up at the smell of the strong cigarette smoke.

Ji Han’s gaze landed on the hand Jae Ha and I were holding.

Then, with his cold, icy gaze, he dropped the cigarette he was holding onto the ground and crushed it.

“Just a moment, I want to talk.”

“I have nothing to talk about with Ji Han.”

I walked past Ji Han, who was unchanging in his expression and words.

As I passed the door leading to the garage with Jae Ha, a familiar voice once again dug into me.

“All you have to do is come back.”
