“Taeein, you’re doing well with your business. Your daughter seems more remarkable than you. So, Taeein, don’t worry too much. Take a good rest. Let’s meet later and share the stories we couldn’t tell.”

Eunseon forcefully expressed the words she had kept inside. She embraced Taeein, who had solidly held her shoulders.

And Arin watched the two of them with round eyes. A person who looked just like the one she thought was her dad. My dad, and my sister’s dad, and the husband of my mom, Junggyu, were just strangers to Arin.

Still, for some reason, feeling like tears would fall, she tightly held her brother-in-law’s finger and resisted the tears.

“Taeein and Arin, and Mom, I will protect you for a lifetime, so don’t worry, Dad. Thank you for giving birth to the most wonderful Taeein in the world.”
Nokhyun conveyed his sincerity as if promising to someone he had never met before.

⭐⭐⭐

Younggap, who had acted arrogantly towards Jeha, pressed a fountain pen against Jeha’s neck. As the sharp pen tip grazed the tough skin, dark red blood burst, flowing down below.

It was an uncontrollable situation.

“You’re insane!”

Jeha, sitting on the floor, screamed in a voice close to a shriek. Jeha’s hands were trembling.

Younggap was immediately taken to the hospital. With eyes closed, his face turned deathly pale as if he could die at any moment. He was only looking for an opportunity to escape.

Younggap reminisced about the past events.

Jungkyu, who pretended to be a friend but exploited him.

Younggap resented and detested Jungkyu, who pretended to care for him and his family while secretly disregarding him.

Everything good that Jungkyu did out of goodwill was simply a trigger for Younggap’s complexes.

Because he’s wealthy, because there’s nothing to envy, he can afford to show kindness. Younggap never felt grateful because the kindness of the wealthy was born out of leisure, and he never considered Jungkyu a friend.

He just wanted to take everything away. Eunsun, who resembled the regrettable Eunsun, Taeein, and the company, all of it. He wanted to take it all away and make it his own.

The chance to grasp a lifetime’s wish of family, wealth, and power had come.

He discovered that Jungkyu had a twin brother.

Since going to meet Honggyu with Jungkyu, Younggap had visited Honggyu several times.

“Isn’t it unfair? If you had stayed at Taegang, you could have been a much better representative. It’s just because you were unlucky.”

The pitiful Seo Honggyu, burdened even by his crazy mother, easily fell into Younggap’s scheme.

He accidentally ended up killing Jungkyu.

After that, everything was solid. Honggyu was dumber than expected, obediently following his words.

Thus, with success almost in sight, everything twisted.

The sturdy sandcastle he had built collapsed in an instant. Pathetically, everything crumbled.

He was already in a tight spot to escape from the crisis.

So, he had to put everything on the line to get revenge. Younggap was determined to eliminate the remaining family of Jungkyu. That way, he felt there would be no room for concern even if he died.

“My wrist hurts so much…”

Younggap managed to squeeze out the voice that wouldn’t come.

Before having the pen taken away, he deliberately cut his wrist where the handcuffs were tightened. The torn flesh, dragged by the handcuffs, became even more swollen.

“I need to loosen this a bit, don’t I?”

He asked the prison guard who was accompanied by a paramedic.

The prison guard, who saw a bigger wound than expected, frowned and untied the handcuffs. At that moment, Younggap shot up like lightning. Tearing off the oxygen tube, he strangled the prison guard’s neck and kicked the paramedic’s abdomen. Firmly securing the gun that the desperate prison guard had pulled out, Younggap aimed it at the paramedic.
Terrified paramedic closed both eyes tightly, Younggap, like he was delivering a solemn promise, opened the window leading to the driver’s seat.

“Hurry, pull over the car!”

The car came to a stop, and Younggap safely escaped.

Like a simulation pre-drawn in his mind, it progressed smoothly.

Younggap quickly entered an alley. In the narrow alley, he spotted his prey—a middle-aged man who was drinking and urinating in public in broad daylight.

Younggap aimed his gun at him. The intoxicated man, not even aware of what was happening, flailed his arms.

Without any other choice, Younggap struck the man’s neck with the gun.

Because the man was drunk and unable to control his body properly, he collapsed without letting out a single scream.

Although it was a bit disturbing that there were droplets of urine on his pants, it was fortunate that he could easily acquire new clothes.

Younggap undressed the man, discarding the unpleasant prisoner’s uniform and donning the man’s outdoor clothing. It was a common attire that wouldn’t attract attention.

Conveniently, the man’s wallet in the pants pocket contained a substantial amount of cash.

“All of this is your own doing, Seo Taeein.”

Younggap went out to the road and hailed a taxi. Fortunately, a taxi was easily available.

“Where can I take you?”

In response to the young driver’s question, Younggap provided the address of the house where he had been for a long time.

Let’s finish everything today.

And he was determined to sneak into China from the harbor.

There was a Chinese-Korean named Wang nearby who would do anything, whether it was long-term smuggling or anchoring.

After swiftly completing the crime, he would empty the cash and hide in China.

It was a perfect plan. Younggap smiled subtly.

But something was strange. The taxi was heading towards a place other than Pyeongchang-dong.

“It doesn’t seem like Pyeongchang-dong. Where are you going?”

Younggap, who was leaning comfortably in the back seat, leaned forward, pulling away from the driver.

“Mister, don’t you remember?”

A person popped out from the empty front seat, which Younggap thought was unoccupied.

“What, what is this!”

Surprised, Younggap instinctively moved his body backward for a moment.

It was a handsome face that seemed familiar.

While Younggap searched for a gun in his pants pocket, he bit into it tightly.

He had left the gun behind while changing clothes.

This scum!

“Who are you!”

At Younggap’s words, the handsome man smiled and opened his mouth.

“It seems you really don’t remember. You’re the one who killed our mother.”
