Hong Gyu, who couldn’t overcome his delusion, murdered Jung Gyu.

It wasn’t a premeditated murder. It was a crime of passion.

He had intended to confess. It was too frightening to handle alone.

That’s when Young Gap extended his hand.

Younggap, without missing a beat, had taken care of Jungkyu’s corpse. He then filled Jungkyu’s vacancy with Hongkyu.

As if it had been preplanned, Younggap’s actions were decisive.

With the help of Younggap and Youngmi, Hongkyu learned how to speak like Jungkyu, how to behave like Jungkyu.

Of course, Hongkyu, who had not received a proper education, couldn’t possibly lead the business successfully. Younggap was always in the key positions, shaping the company according to his opinions.

Still, he was satisfied. He was able to live under the name of Seo Jungkyu, not a murderer.

Hongkyu sighed as he looked at his own fingerprintless fingers.

“Everyone, look who’s here.”
Then, Youngmi opened the door to the study without knocking.

Youngmi was holding Ahrin’s shoulders tightly with both hands and laughing.

Hongkyu glanced at Ahrin.

Perhaps because she was dressed in someone else’s clothes, he didn’t feel at all like Ahrin was his child.

Moreover, she wasn’t a child born of love. She was simply something he’d acquired because Younggap said they needed a child to connect Youngmi and Hongkyu.

Hongkyu’s life, for some time now, had been flowing according to Younggap’s will.

The next day, Taein, who hadn’t slept a wink, met Seyoung.

Seyoung had arrived early at the cafe where they had agreed to meet.

Seyoung, who had ordered three whole cakes and was munching on them, opened her creamcovered mouth when she saw Taein.

“What’s the matter with you? You said you had to see me. I’ve only got 10 minutes because I’m busy, so speak quickly and leave.”
Taein couldn’t hide her urgency. She had thought of filing a missing person’s report. That is, if Ahrin hadn’t picked up her phone to the very end.

However, Ahrin answered the phone.

Dad and mom say they miss me. I want to go home now.

Ahrin had said that. Taein couldn’t believe it. Neither that Ahrin’s parents missed Ahrin, nor that Ahrin went home because she wanted to.

“Are you doing this because of Ahrin? Don’t worry about Ahrin, she’ll be fine. After all, it’s better to grow up under your parents.”
Seyoung said that and laughed out loud.

Taein watched Seyoung with indifferent eyes, then smiled.

“No, I came to see my sister.”
“Me, me?”
“Sister, is your fortune still not good?”
Seyoung dropped her fork. Surprisingly, her appetite vanished.

No matter how hard Seyoung tried, she couldn’t meet a man.

Even though she was from a chaebol family, it was astonishing that her luck with men was so bad.

The man she met at the appointed place immediately left upon seeing Se Young, leaving behind his words of wanting to only pass on good genes to his children.

“Did you call me to vent your anger?”
“You need to get married this year.”
The head of the marriage information agency said so a few days ago.

He suggested that she needed to lose some weight, that continuing like this wouldn’t do.

Se Young was the type to gain weight just from breathing air.

She had spent money on massage parlours and acupuncture, but to no avail. The diet that celebrities were doing, consuming herbal medicine, and enzymes didn’t help her lose weight, but rather led to weight gain.

That’s why she was following dozens of diet influencers.

“So, do you have a man to introduce me to?”
“I don’t have a man, but I can introduce you to the gathering you always wanted to join.”
Upon hearing Tae In’s words, Se Young, who had remained unfazed until now, sparkled.

“Could it be the Bopeu?”
It was a social gathering only for the offspring of the conglomerate.

Only introductions could secure entry into the group formed when they were elementary school students.

Se Ji and Se Young, who entered the conglomerate late due to their parents’ remarriage, had no opportunity.

Especially, Se Young was interested in the blind dates that happened within the group.

As they were a group of people with excellent networks, it was easy to meet not only conglomerate families but also celebrities.

It was much better than the marriage information company to which she had paid hundreds of millions.

Although the problem was that you couldn’t get in even if you paid money.

“Yeah, are you interested?”
“Have your memories really returned?”
Instead of replying, Tae In smiled.

Convinced by the arrogant smile, which was no different from before, Se Young confirmed.

You really returned, Se Tae In.

She somehow felt a chill down her spine.

“Ah, it’s a pity. Didn’t you say you only had 10 minutes? 9 minutes have already passed.”
“When did I say 10 minutes? I have about 20 minutes, so tell me quickly. Will you introduce me there?”
Tae In laughed inwardly.

“It’s not difficult. It’s a gathering I made.”
Tae In flipped her hair. At her elegant movement, Se Young blankly watched her.

That confidence, as infuriating as it was thrilling.

Despite shivering, Se Young couldn’t take her eyes off Tae In.

She always wanted to be like Tae In.

“Will you really introduce me?”
Se Young pushed the empty plates to one side and asked.

“But before that, there’s something I want you to promise.”
“What?”
“I’d prefer it if you didn’t tell Se Ji or mom.”
“Why?”
“Mom always wanted to get Se Ji married first, didn’t she? Did you like the men the marriage information company introduced to you?”
Se Young recalled the few men she had met so far.

They were all men who didn’t catch Se Young’s eye.

“No!”
“The investment is different. How can a 50 billion won member and a 5 billion won member be the same?”
“What, what are you talking about? Did mom buy a 50 billion won membership for Se Ji only?”
“Check it if you don’t believe me.”
Se Young slammed the table. Seeing her plump fists trembling, Tae In swallowed her laughter.

“What should I do? Tae In, what should I do?”
Se Young almost pleaded, clasping her hands together.

Tae In slightly squinted at the sight of such Se Young.

“I’m not doing anything extraordinary, well. I just have to check if Arin is doing fine.”
“That won’t be difficult. Should I install a camera?”
So soon?

Tae In feigned surprise and smiled.

Last night, Tae In overheard their conversation in the study.

It was Jo Young Gap who had killed his own father and taken his place, and made Se Hong Kyu recognize him as his own father.

She needed a little more solid evidence.

“Then, I’m grateful. I’m just worried about Arin.”
“Yeah, it can be worrying. Just trust me!”
It was too easy, even if it was simple. If a person revealed their desire without filtering, you just had to satisfy that desire.

Tae In decided to become a little more cunning. More than they had been to Tae In.
