“Madam! My goodness, what is this about! Please, take a look at this, quickly!”
Despite the fuss from the housemaid, Mora narrowed her eyes but took in the screen.

The face of her deceased daughterinlaw filled the screen.

“What’s this?”
To Mora’s question, the housemaid kindly pressed the back button.

Soon, the message from the housemaid’s daughter came into view.

The housemaid, making huffing sounds, hesitated between pressing and not pressing the link with her index finger.

“Madam, please, don’t be shocked. Seriously!”
“Alright, enough!”
Unable to stand it anymore, Mora pressed the link instead.

The video played again, and Tae In’s face appeared on the screen.

“Isn’t this an old recording?”
“No, madam, it’s a live stream, don’t you know?”
“I don’t care about such things! So, you’re saying my daughterinlaw is alive?”
“Yes! So, your son is innocent!”
Mora, with the cell phone in hand, went back inside the entrance.

And she thrust the cell phone in front of Yuran.

“My daughterinlaw is alive! My son did not kill his wife!”
“What nonsense are you talking about now?”
Yuran frowned heavily and peered at the screen.

“Apologize, right now!”

In the great hall of Taegang, preparations for the inauguration of the executive director were in full swing.

It was all for Seji.

Despite postponing the inauguration for nearly a month and intending to keep it as modest as possible, which might have been disappointing, Seji had no complaints.

She valued her image more than the show.

If there was a complaint, it was only that she had become the executive director later than Tae In.

The employees filled the entire hall, and Seji, who had been waiting, slowly moved to stand in front of the podium.

Both the executive with a flushed face, and the new employees who simply filled their places as instructed, were all focused on the young and beautiful executive director at that moment.

“Good day, everyone, the employees of Taegang. I am Seo Seji, who has been appointed as the executive director.”
The gazes toward her, the expressions of admiration, envy, or jealousy, all gave her a sense of satisfaction. So much that her body shivered.

Seji hid her emotions and wore a somber expression. It was a thoroughly learned expression.

“I have often pondered whether it’s right for me to greet you in this manner, so soon after bidding farewell to my beloved sister, or whether I should silently show you my actions towards building a more diligent Taegang for all of you.”
She slowly took in the beautiful sight of everyone focusing on her and continued.

It was an inaugural speech she had practiced from the moment she first joined the company.

“However, we need to move forward for our common goal, and I had to assure all of you, so I could not avoid arranging this event……”

“Seo Tae In is alive!”
The sudden intrusion of a voice caused Se Ji’s speech to halt. And at that moment, an unpleasant machine noise beeped from the microphone.

The gazes that were on Se Ji all turned to their cell phones simultaneously.

Caught off guard by the abrupt reaction, Se Ji was at a loss for words, her head shaking left to right.

Nobody was paying attention to her. The people at her feet dared to ignore her. Se Ji was engulfed in a rage.

The noise coming from the microphone was unpleasant. Despite Se Ji repeatedly hitting her own ear, the noise didn’t stop.

Se Ji was particularly sensitive to noise. Hearing a sound she disliked would make her irritable all day, and this place was full of noise.

“Could all staff please remain silent?”
A staff member who replaced the microphone asked everyone to quiet down on behalf of Se Ji.

“Are you okay, Director?”
Se Ji went down the podium and stood in front of the young employee who had made the noise initially.

The employee was obliviously looking at his cell phone, not noticing that Se Ji was standing in front of him.

Se Ji snatched the employee’s phone and took a look.

Seo Tae In…?

The woman holding a press conference in a suit identical to the one I was wearing was undoubtedly Seo Tae In.

Tae In left Stella with Yesul at the Chicken House. Tae In, now in plain clothes after removing her sun cap and sleeves, received a curious look from Yesul and Jong Don, but she quickly showed her thumb up.

“You look much cooler. But why did you cover your face? I thought you had burn marks or something on your face.”
Yesul chuckled as she spoke.

“I won’t hide it anymore.”
“Whatever it is, do well and come back.”
Yesul patted Tae In’s shoulder, and Jong Don awkwardly patted her arm.

“Take good care of Stella, Jong Don.”
“Yep!”
Tae In got into a taxi with a slightly anxious face. The trip to Seoul alone was very unfamiliar and scary.

Nevertheless, since she had decided not to back down, Tae In didn’t look back.

“Ma’am, we have arrived.”
Upon hearing the driver’s words, Tae In opened her eyes. She hadn’t even realized she had fallen asleep, which was a relief.
