As Eun Seok trailed off, Tae In began to bite her innocent nails.

Sigh, Eun Seok resumed speaking after a long exhale.

If an arrest warrant is issued and it drags on, then there is a problem. You know Shim Yoo Ran, right? It’s clear that Yoo Ran is behind this. She’s trying to convene an emergency board meeting to dismiss Nok Hyun.
Tae In contemplated for a moment.

Nok Hyun will take care of it, I feel like I said something unnecessary knowing your situation, Tae In.
“No, can you help me out?”
Tae In ended her short deliberation.

The answer was clear anyway.

Yoo Ran raised a toast with her son, Ji Woon, for the first time in a while.

Thinking back to when she first came to this house, she felt like she could cry.

From the moment she had Ji Woon, no, from the moment she decided to seduce Chul Han, she had always dreamed of this moment.

And finally, at the emergency board meeting to be held the day after tomorrow, Yoo Ran was set to finally oust Nok Hyun.

She had endured much humiliation from the whispers she had heard all along.

Yoo Ran had held on with tenacity.

She had worked tirelessly day and night to help Chul Han and HK.

Even if people mocked her for being audacious, it was Yoo Ran who ultimately triumphed.

“Mom, do I own the company now?”
“No, wait a little longer. I will grow it more beautifully for you, just don’t get into any accidents in the meantime.”
“Hey, I don’t get into accidents now.”
“But why are you sniffling like that?”
“Well, I have rhinitis. Grandpa had it too, right?”
“……If you get into another accident, that’s really it, you won’t be my son anymore. Do you understand?”
Yoo Ran’s mother wasn’t a legitimate wife either. Therefore, she understood Ji Woon’s feelings better than anyone else.

The hardships Ji Woon faced while growing up, Yoo Ran had experienced first.

That’s why it hurt her more, and she tried to raise him without envy of others.

If only Choi Mo Ra could bear it, she would have raised Ji Woon without any lack.

After all, Ji Woon’s deviation was also, upon scrutiny, all Mo Ra’s fault.

Whenever she thought of that woman’s face, her teeth gritted.

What kind of luck did Choi Mo Ra have to give birth to Nok Hyun? Nok Hyun was wasted on Choi Mo Ra in many ways. Extraordinary brain, diligence, insight, business acumen, and a gambling spirit, all the things she wished for her son, were all Nok Hyun’s.

Even his appearance was outstanding as he didn’t resemble his father.

Ji Woon did not resemble Yoo Ran at all and looked like his father, making him far from handsome.

“Son, cheers.”
Two champagne glasses clashed.

A bright sound should have been made at the moment, but instead, a loud, ungraceful sound was heard.

Both Yoo Ran and Ji Woon simultaneously looked towards the source of the sound.

Mo Ra, who was clearly angry, rushed over and grabbed Yoo Ran by the hair.

“You despicable thing! My husband, our Do Hyun, isn’t enough, and you lay your hands on Nok Hyun too? Are you even human?”
“Old lady, stop it! Why are you bitching again?”
Ji Woon shouted as if having a fit.

“You son of a btch, you used to call me ‘big mom’ when you were young, and now you’re calling me an old lady? You’re utterly shameless!”
Unable to bear it any longer, Yoo Ran slapped Mo Ra’s cheek as hard as she could.

Her unusually thin body fell flat on the floor.

“Has this woman gone mad! Ah, of course. After her second son and daughterinlaw die, her husband is on his last leg, ah, and even the one who killed her daughterinlaw is her own son, she’s bound to go crazy, it makes sense!”
Despite all this, Yoo Ran, still unsatisfied, directed her anger at the kitchen.

Mo Ra wanted to immediately rise and stop Yoo Ran’s babbling, but she felt pain in her left chest and could only gasp for breath.

“Old lady! How many times do I have to tell you, no outsiders allowed!”
“I’m sorry, madam. I’ll be careful.”
The longtime kitchen helper, Mrs. Na Joo, helped Mo Ra to her feet, holding her

Morah was nothing more, nothing less than an outsider to the people, whether she cried out in pain, clutching her chest, or not.

With no choice, Morah got up.

With the help of Najudek, she moved out into the garden.

“Ah, I’m sorry. Elder Madam. Even so, you are not an outsider, you know the younger Madam’s temperament, right?”
“How can it be your fault, Najudek?”
“Madam, please cheer up. Except for those two, everyone knows, your son wasn’t someone who would do such a thing.”
Morah heaved a deep sigh.

Foolishly, she had held on, vowing to take revenge on the woman who killed Dohyun.

She didn’t know her heart was rotting away, that she had developed cancer in her chest, she had lived in ignorance.

She absolutely did not think Nok Hyun had committed any crime. However, it felt like her fault that her son was falsely accused and cornered, and it felt like her heart was torn into hundreds of pieces.

And Tae In, who was as worrisome as her son.

She never once held her hand affectionately as a daughterinlaw, who would have known she would leave so desolate.

It was unfair that Nok Hyun was falsely accused, but Tae In’s life was truly tragic.

She wished someone would clearly explain what was going on, Morah thought.

“Madam, I am sorry to bring this up now, but my daughter graduated.”
“Really? Already?”
“You helped out when we were short on tuition, bought her sneakers, she was so grateful. She even wrote a letter, but I left it at home.”
“That’s fine, there’s no need for thanks.”
“Please look. I took a picture. She sent it to me…….”
Najudek made Morah sit on a garden bench, insisting on showing her the picture.

After looking at her phone for a long time, her eyes bulged out.

“Mother, what on earth is this?”
“Why, why are you making a fuss?”
“Madam! My god, what’s happening! Please look at this, quickly!”
