Jeha put down the pen he had been twirling in his hand.

“Why don’t you eat first and then worry? We are planning to go to a newly opened Chinese restaurant, would you like to come with us?”
It was lunchtime before he knew it. Jeha shook his head with a smile.

“I brought it with me. Enjoy your meal and come back.”
Jeha took his lunchbox and moved to the café terrace.

The lunchbox was perfectly balanced with carbohydrates, protein, and fat.

Jeha scrunched his face as he put a piece of chicken breast into his mouth.

“This is terribly tasteless.”
At the same time, he remembered the events in Gapyeong.

The modestly set meal, the bustling atmosphere, the rising intoxication it felt good.

Jeha bit his lip lightly.

Seo Tae In had made a glamorous comeback. Thanks to her, Jeha had a lot of work.

Jeha hastily put away the halfeaten lunchbox and returned to his office.

He used a key to open the firmly locked drawer and took out the contents.

It was a paternity confirmation document. The woman he thought was Tae In wasn’t the biological daughter of CEO Seo Jeong Gyu.

He thought it was possible that she was adopted and had a background check, but that was not the case either.

Jeha made a hypothesis.

Kang Nok Hyun had killed Tae In and installed a substitute. So, it was certain that the current Seo Tae In was a fake.

The email login record of Tae In was an act of Nok Hyun who had Tae In’s phone.

But how could he find someone who looked so identical?

No, before that, why did Kang Nok Hyun kill Seo Tae In?

Jeha searched for Nok Hyun in the internet browser.

Jeha, scrolling down, paused.

“What is this……”
Jeha clicked on a news article that popped up two minutes ago.

“HK Group appointed Kang Nok Hyun, the former executive director, as the representative director through an emergency board meeting……? Kang Nok Hyun has become the representative director?”
Jeha, who was just blinking her eyes, burst into laughter.

This made sense, again.

Jeha remembered Nok Hyun’s face she had seen somewhere.

Looking at him who smiled while hiding his cold impression, Jeha felt a sense of heaviness and discomfort.

He had cleaned up rotten water cruelly to the extent that there were rumors that he was a sociopath and was famous for his bold handling of matters.

Interestingly, before marrying Tae In, his nickname was ‘the loyal dog of HK’. The point when he changed might have been right after the marriage. No, it might have been right after his father collapsed.

Well, it wasn’t accurate information as it was a story heard from a colleague at HK.

Now that Kang Nok Hyun has become the representative, which side would be more profitable?

Jeha’s head spun quickly.

After the emergency board meeting, Nok Hyun moved to the representative office.

Nok Hyun calmly scanned the inside of the representative office with his eyes and stood in front of a window that densely covered one wall.

It felt like he had the whole of Seoul under his feet.

Finally, he had dismissed Shim Yu Ran.

Yu Ran was doubtful and smart, she wouldn’t take the bait easily. That’s why he had prepared more thoroughly. The provocative factor of a murderer moved Yu Ran.

Tae In’s fake will had played a big part in that.

While Yu Ran was framing Nok Hyun as a murderer, Nok Hyun had handed over the ledger that Yu Ran and Director Hwang had manipulated to the police.

As a result, Yu Ran was dismissed, and Nok Hyun took her place.

He did want to become the representative, but he hadn’t achieved all his goals.

This was just the beginning. Nok Hyun’s goal was to wake up his father.

Yu Ran had been heavily guarding Chul Han’s hospital room.

Chul Han cherished Ji Woon, but he also cherished the company. He always doubted Ji Woon’s qualifications, so he placed Nok Hyun by Ji Woon’s side.

He wanted Nok Hyun to correct Ji Woon’s mistakes and help him grow, without endangering the company.

Chul Han collapsed as soon as he wrote his will, and he didn’t wake up for no reason.

The moment Nok Hyun saw the contents of the will, he was certain that it was Yu Ran who had put Chul Han in that state.

Yuran was cornered, and Jiwon, who was destined to inherit everything, had committed a crime. Now that the will was null and void, their father would awaken. That’s how Sim Yuran had intended it.

At that point of thought, Lee Kyung, holding a nameplate, walked in.

With a displeased expression, Lee Kyung slapped the nameplate onto the table, making a thud sound, and grumbled.

“You truly have no mercy, undeterred by any obstacle. Well, you do always get what you want. You aren’t satisfied unless you take what you desire.”
Lee Kyung’s face seemed to ask, ‘You must be thrilled to take over the position from President Sim, aren’t you?’

Nok Hyun was slightly taken aback.

Lee Kyung appeared to worry more about Tae In than his own superior.

How close had they been?

Well, he understood. Tae In had the ability to disarm people, drawing them in.

With her harmless face, she bewitched people.

“There’s nothing to worry about. I will bring her in.”
Lee Kyung pouted his lips, then sighed heavily.

“Ah, also, Woo Je Ha suspects that Ms. Seo Tae In is a fraud.”
“That lawyer?”
Nok Hyun’s eyes narrowed. As far as Nok Hyun knew, Je Ha was not the kind of fool to act rashly based on unverified facts. But just in case.

“Get in touch with him.”
“…Yes, and for the record, I’ve never worried about Ms. Seo Tae In. I will take my leave now.”
There truly was no need to worry.

Nok Hyun planned to acquire Tae Gang Fashion, including Seo Tae In, at a high price.

Tae Gang Fashion had been in decline since it separated from the conglomerate.

When Chairman Seo Jung Gyu was about to sell off Tae Gang Fashion to another company at a bargain price, Tae In stepped in and revived it.

Without Tae In now, they must be wracking their brains trying to sell off the problem child that is Tae Gang Fashion.

He would acquire Tae Gang Fashion on the condition of getting Tae In.

To do that, Nok Hyun had to become the chairman, and removing Sim Yuran was an obvious step.

It was no big deal to fry the other board members, excluding Sim Yuran and Director Hwang.

Nok Hyun opened an app on his phone. Several short videos were saved.

They were videos recorded by a tiny camera he had installed in Arin’s robot.

Nok Hyun’s eyes, which had been watching emotionlessly, subtly shook when he saw Tae In’s face.

[Is, is brotherinlaw, a good person?] At Arin’s question, Tae In laughed softly, and Nok Hyun also found himself laughing along.

[Yeah, he’s a good person.] She had lost weight in the meantime.

Nok Hyun scowled, as if he didn’t like that.

[And I like him a lot.] At that moment, Nok Hyun’s expression hardened subtly.

He stared blankly at the screen, as if he was trapped in that world, and then let out an ironic laugh.

The phone screen turned off, and Nok Hyun tapped the table with the corner of his phone.

Lee Kyung was right.

Nok Hyun was not satisfied unless he took everything he wanted.

And after the kiss with Tae In, Nok Hyun thought.
