‘I didn’t expect him to openly publish an article like this.’

I never expected Ji Han to take such a risk over the uncertain position of successor.

He was a person more sensitive to public attention than anyone else.

Before reading the article, senior Young Joon, who had only confirmed the headline, asked me.

“Seems like a personal statement from Representative Seo?”

“That’s right. It seems like he announced it through a journalist he’s usually close to.”

The familiar name of a journalist appeared under the article title.

It was a reporter who Ji Han often called upon to sway public opinion in his favor in my previous life.

‘I thought he would at least release a statement to recover Ho Jin Construction’s image.’

I scrolled down the article with an uncomfortable feeling.

Ji Han’s letter, which began with a brief greeting, was displayed.

[As Seo Ji Han, not the CEO of Ho Jin Group, I would like to share my story.

I was very scared that it would become known since it’s not a good thing. My engaged life was not ordinary.

The marriage alliance with the Double U family was an old agreement between the families. My exfiancée, who was originally my brother’s fiancée, had been with him for a long time, so there was a distance between us that we could not close.]

As I read down the text written by Ji Han, I couldn’t hide my astonished expression.

Senior Young Joon, who was reading the article with me, also couldn’t help but sigh, taken aback.

[During the oneyear engagement period, I tried sincerely, but what I got in return was a unilateral divorce notice.

And I was informed that the fiancée is preparing for a new start with a good person.

The person who has been by my side when I was mentally struggling a lot is the person I am meeting now. The relationship with that person, who was an acquaintance, led to a serious meeting after the divorce.]

‘Lies. The two of them had been seeing each other during the engagement period.’

My hand trembled at the statement that didn’t contain the truth that needed to be conveyed.

Ji Han was skillfully hiding his wrongdoing and shifting the blame to me who unilaterally ended the marriage.

Anyone could see that I had become the irresponsible person who broke off the marriage with Ji Han.

[The person who awakened the precious emotion called love in me, who has been living an external life as a businessman, is someone I do not want to lose. I apologize for causing controversy with my shameful personal affairs.]

Even if the truth came out later, it was content that could be refuted as being subject to misunderstanding.

Because it was true that I was originally Jae Ha’s fiancée, and both the unilateral divorce and new start were also true.

I was speechless, looking at the official statement that showed Ji Han’s cunning intentions.

Hundreds of comments were posted within minutes on the news article that had been exclusively reported by him.

[This is crazy. She was his brother’s fiancée, then became his younger brother’s fiancée, and now she is marrying someone else. 18:52:12] [She received sympathy by claiming to be pitiful, but she also has nothing honorable in the end. As expected, you can’t trust the image of a broadcaster. 18:59:57] [Is this KB□ anchor Yoon□□? 19:01:02]

As expected, I let out a deep sigh when I saw the arrows of criticism directed at me.

Was this what Ji Han meant when he said I would regret it when he visited me earlier?

I didn’t know he would play a media game against me.

“That’s a shocking official statement. Senior, it seems like I’ve completely become a national scoundrel.”

I spoke to senior Young Joon with a stifled heart, but no answer came.

“Is he a human? How can he do something like this.”

Senior, who seemed to be reading the article, was busy looking at his phone even at my question.

Then, he extended his phone towards me with a face that had turned pale.

“Yeo Jin, look at this!”

“Why? Is there more?”

“The article came out. But that’s……”

Senior hesitated, unable to finish his answer to my question.

Looking at his shocked face, I felt anxious even before checking the article.

[The new marriage partner of the W family heiress is Seo Jae Ha, the eldest son of Hojin Group] [The W heiress, revealed to have had an inappropriate relationship with her exfiancé after the engagement]

The headlines were far more provocative than Ji Han’s official statement.

“It’s a new article. I think we need to stop this. No, let’s get a correction article out.”

“……Ha.”

“It’s a media outlet I’ve never heard of, but it’s having a bigger impact than the official statement from CEO Seo.”

The scandal with Jae Ha that broke out one after another as if to verify Ji Han’s official statement.

As Senior said, the source of the article was a small media outlet.

It contained quite detailed stories, such as that I had been meeting Jae Ha skillfully away from people’s attention since before the engagement ceremony.

“Is this also… CEO Seo’s doing?”

It was unlikely that Ji Han would have thrown such a sloppy move.
