His Highness was shoving hamburgers into his mouth along with his secretary. His body shivered with the thrilling taste that seemed to completely block his arteries.

His taste buds, which had been trained for a year, were completely messed up.

For a year, His Highness had only eaten nutritious foods made from organic ingredients.

However, after eating his grandmother’s spicy stirfried pork, he couldn’t return to his original taste.

It was clear that a lot of MSG had been used. Otherwise, there was no reason he would only crave such stimulating food since then.

Now, if it wasn’t spicy, salty, and oily, he didn’t want to put it in his mouth.

“Secretary Kim, would a hamburger be a complete meal?”
“Of course. Carbohydrates, protein, and even the calcium contained in the cheese. It’s a perfect food.”
Secretary Kim adjusted his glasses with his finger and responded coolly.

Seemingly satisfied with the answer, His Highness nodded gravely and put a french fry into his mouth.

Se Ji didn’t come to work. It was his first absence since Tae In’s funeral.

The woman claiming to be Tae In came home and took a day off, it was not a good omen.

“Secretary Kim, are you sure your parents are your biological parents?”
“What kind of question is that all of a sudden? Of course, I think they are my biological parents.”
“Have you tested it?”
“No, there’s no need for a test. Not only my facial features, but even my malocclusion, I look very much like my parents.”
His Highness, who had been chewing french fries with a strange expression, fumbled with his cell phone. There was a family photo of the entire Tae Gang family in the photo album.

Tae In resembled her grandfather and father, and even resembled Arin.

His Highness searched for the name of Tae In’s mother, who wasn’t in the family photo.

Her name was Lee Eun Sun, and the marriage between her, who was just an ordinary college student, and Seo Jung Kyu, the heir to a chaebol, became a hot topic, which made it easy to find photos.

As His Highness checked her photo, he tilted his head.

Assuming she was not adopted, there were two cases where Tae In was not Jung Kyu’s biological child.

Either Secretary Kim, who had collected Jung Kyu’s samples, made a mistake, or Eun Sun gave birth to another man’s child.

However, Secretary Kim was a meticulous person who never made a mistake even once, and Tae In’s appearance was too similar to her biological family.

“Secretary Kim, have you ever heard of Lee Eun Sun?”
Secretary Kim glanced at His Highness’s cell phone and nodded.

“Ah, I know. The former lady of Tae Gang. I remember her being very patient and having a lot of anecdotes. I heard they had a love marriage. It was rare to see a newlywed couple in a chaebol family.”
It was a love marriage, but was it a window dressing couple? But why did she suddenly disappear?

“There’s only word that she went abroad, and the news was suddenly cut off. She originally had no family, and her only blood relative was Seo Tae In.”
Did she abandon her only blood relative and leave?

If she had given birth to Tae In outside, would there be a reason to leave Tae In behind, even if her husband didn’t know?

“What on earth could have been the reason to break contact and disappear, even from her one and only blood relative.”
“There’s a rumor that she ran away in the middle of the night after locking eyes with an ordinary man.”
All of it was strange in many ways.

It seemed necessary to investigate the Taegang family, starting with Eunsun.

Especially the suspicious character, Cho Youngkap. He was a longtime friend and driver of Jeonggyu and now his closest aide.

Youngkap was assisting Jeonggyu at the closest possible place.

He was a reticent character with no change in expression, making it difficult to read him.

Given that both Seji relies heavily on him and Jeonggyu always brings Youngkap to important business trips and meetings, at least the two of them trust him. But had he perhaps been compromised?

Weakness, yes, that’s it. Weakness.

Youngkap held the weakness of Taegang.

But what if Taein found out about that, and they all banded together to kill Taein?

But Taein had returned alive.

If it was a weakness significant enough to kill a person, they would surely eliminate Taein this time.

What if, just if, Taein counterattacks, then what would happen?

He busily calculated in his mind who to side with for the greatest gain.

During his time apart from Taein, Nok Hyun stayed at the newlyweds’ house.

Of course, he was with Stella. Stella was quieter than expected. She seemed to spend a lot of time looking out the window, perhaps missing Taein and her young friend, but she seemed to eat well and sleep well.

After coming home in the morning and sleeping for about two hours, Nok Hyun showered and dressed in a suit.

He had succeeded in winning the directors’ favor and, in addition, found the 50 billion in slush funds that Yoo Ran had painstakingly saved.
