Where did it all go wrong? Seji pondered while trapped in the secret room.
Just the day before, they had a small party to celebrate the recent success of the company. Until recently, the financial situation had not been good, but the company had secured an investment from a foreign corporation, causing the stock prices to soar after the news broke.
Especially, this investment deal was something Seji had actively led. It felt different because it was a moment where she had shown her capabilities to the directors who had underestimated her.
Now, she had cornered Taein using Arin, turning the tables on her troublesome stepsister. However, in a moment, the situation had completely reversed. Seji, who had been using the company funds as her own, had turned the situation around when she thought Taein was dead.
Due to the anxiety of the sudden attack, everyone became tense, and a sharp sound echoed, as if metal was being scratched.
Soon after, their vision became hazy. Gas seeped into the room through their noses and mouths. Coughing as if on cue, they struggled on the floor due to the unexpected gas attack.
“What the hell…!”
Yeonggap coughed, pounding on the door. However, there was no intention for the door to open. In this secret room with no windows, there was no way to escape.
The gas, with no intention to kill, dissipated quickly. Without a moment to catch their breath, a speaker attached to the wall emitted a mocking, fake-coughing sound.
“Next is a poisonous gas.”
A distorted voice, gender indistinguishable, echoed.
“What’s going on? Are we going to die? Is this Seo Taein’s doing?”
Seyoung wiped away tears and mucus, choked with sobs.
“Mom, what do we do now? Sister, are we going to die?”
“Quiet!”
Annoyed by Seyoung’s continued whining, Seji snapped.
The situation made everyone highly sensitive.
“You acted all high and mighty, saying everything would be fine if we followed your plan. What the hell is this now!”
Honggyu shouted at Yeonggap.
“It’s not because you’re incompetent! It’s that damn murderer!”
At Yeonggap’s accusation of murder, Honggyu opened her eyes wide as if having a seizure. She had lived obediently without rebellion. It was now that her suppressed nature had awakened.
“What? A murderer? I clearly said I would surrender! But you stopped me! You said I just had to stay still! You said you would handle the corpses, and you buried them in the Hwaseong factory!”
“All my fault? You imbecile, trying to imitate Seo Jeonggyu poorly!”
Honggyu couldn’t take it anymore and punched Yeonggap in the face. Yeonggap also grabbed Honggyu by the collar. While the two fought on the ground, Yeongmi sat on the floor, crying.
“Now that I thought we could live somewhat humanely, what the hell is this situation?”
“Don’t cry! It’s annoying. Mom, did you know? That person is not Seo Jeonggyu but Seo Honggyu?”
“What use is it to know now!”
“What use is it? Everything, our home, our company, is taken away!”
Seji let out a scream. She finally learned why Seo Taein wasn’t her father’s biological daughter, why her father tried to hide that fact, and why her uncle, a mere driver, had shaken her father.
Her father was a fake, and everything had been taken away by Seo Taein, the enemy.
“I can’t die here after coming all the way here!”
“Is what Jung Ikyeong said true? Are you going to release gas?”
Min-gyu grabbed No Gye-hyun’s shoulders and asked.
Min-gyu was getting increasingly uneasy. He thought No Gye-hyun could easily kill those people and still survive.
Before No Gye-hyun could respond, the container warehouse door opened. It was Taein.
No Gye-hyun looked at Taein with a face that showed no surprise. Taein rushed in and hugged No Gye-hyun.
“How did you find out?”
“I asked Jung Ikyeong.”
“I guess Jung Ikyeong needs to be disposed of too.”
Even as he said that, No Gye-hyun’s gaze towards Taein was infinitely warm.
“You don’t need to dirty your hands. They are trash not worth it.”
“I’m not that clean either.”
No Gye-hyun said casually.
When Taein looked up at No Gye-hyun with an anxious expression, he chuckled.
“Don’t worry, there’s nothing to fear.”
“Really?”
“I found out where Dad is buried.”
As if the original purpose was that, No Gye-hyun petted Taein’s head, and Min-gyu next to them wiped away his tears.
In the face of a situation where they might die, the powerless people revealed their true selves faster than expected. Based on this footage, if they find Seo Jeong-gyu’s remains, they would fall precipitously without a chance to enjoy the favors of the connections they had built up in politics and business.
And now, No Gye-hyun was going to guide them to the path of destruction using all her connections and power. It was so that they could keenly feel who dared to touch them.
The next day, Taein’s story became news.
At the same time, Taein became busy. Inheritance-related tasks were taken care of by Jeha, but Taein had to handle everything else.
Male lead is reincarnated to save his wife
I’ve also read this one twice already. The female lead is kinda soft and gets embarrassed easily—not really my type, but the plot is definitely worth reading. Hurry up and read it, y’all!
Intro
When Shen Yuan encountered Su Jin again in his previous life, she had already become the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. As for him, the former top young master of the capital, he had long since fallen into the abyss, becoming a singer on a pleasure boat.
After a song ended, he was redeemed and sent to the Su Residence.
Su Jin respected and cherished him, gave him a roof over his head, and bestowed him with warmth. Shen Yuan fell deeper and deeper, but before he could express his feelings, Su Jin passed away.
Shen Yuan died to follow her in death, but instead, he returned to when he was fifteen years old.
At that time, he was not yet engaged, and Su Jin was just a poor scholar.
Shen Yuan gritted his teeth, casting aside all his pride, and thought of ways to coax and entice her every day.
The colder and more indifferent Su Jin was towards him, the more proactive Shen Yuan became.
He was not afraid of being mocked by the world, only wanting to marry his Wife-master early, to hold her hand and never let go for a lifetime.
[Note: This story will not specifically point out the male lead’s reincarnation time point; it’s all in the details. Whenever you feel that the male lead is acting strangely, he has most likely been reincarnated.]
