Nok Hyun, who had been watching Tae In silently, took out his phone and handed it to her.
“Search your name.”
Tae In, who had been alternating glances between the phone and Nok Hyun’s face, opened the internet window and searched her name.
The photo next to the name Seo Tae In was indeed her face.
Seo Tae In, businesswoman.
Deceased, June 6, 2022.
Deceased……?
Throughout the morning, Se Ji, who had been engrossed in intense work, leaned deeply into her chair to take a breather.
She hadn’t slept properly in days, but she felt refreshed.
She was trying to enjoy the good mood after a long time, but her mood quickly soured due to the uninvited guest who came in without knocking.
“You’ve changed all the interior, huh?”
It was Se Ji’s brother, Se Young. He looked around the office, which was completely different from before, and moved his hand.
The waiting secretary hurriedly put some refreshments on the table.
SeYeong put macarons and dacquoises into her mouth all at once. She took a sip of her latte and scowled.
“Hey, is this lowfat milk?”
“Uh… No. You didn’t specify, so I didn’t change it. Let me…”
Before Secretary Im could finish her sentence, SeYeong shoved the latte in Secretary Im’s face.
“Why don’t you know that I’m on a diet, why!”
At SeYeong’s sudden outcry, SeJi straightened her back.
“Seo SeYeong, what are you doing in someone else’s office? Secretary Im, you may leave now.”
“I’m sorry, ma’am.”
As Secretary Im left, SeYeong coughed awkwardly, eyeing SeJi’s reaction.
“Sister, I’ve been thinking.”
SeJi’s brows furrowed, wondering what nonsense SeYeong was about to spew.
SeYeong wiped crumbs from the corner of her mouth and opened it.
“You can have the company, I just need the properties under Tae In’s name.”
At SeYeong’s words, as if she were bestowing some great magnanimity, SeJi burst into a quiet chuckle.
“Has this company, Tae Kang, ever been yours to give? When you say you’ll give something, it means you owned it in the first place.”
SeJi stood up and approached SeYeong.
Her face, previously strained as if suppressing laughter, returned to its normal expression before she continued.
“Let alone owning it, you never even dared to try and take it.”
SeYeong’s mood hit rock bottom. It was always like this. Just because she had earned some trust from her stepfather due to her smart head, she always looked down on others.
But SeYeong could not stand up to SeJi. She knew better than anyone how ruthless and vicious SeJi was.
If SeJi wanted something, she would stop at nothing to seize it.
“You’re saying you won’t be greedy for anything else.”
SeJi snorted at SeYeong’s dejected words.
“You can’t be greedy, can you?”
“So you’re saying you’ll take everything for yourself?”
“I think I’ve taken enough as it is. Your earrings, necklace, bracelet, bag they’re all Seo Tae In’s, aren’t they?”
“So what if I use them, nobody else is going to!”
Unable to hold back any longer, SeYeong shouted.
“Even before Seo Tae In died, you were rummaging around the room like a rat, now what’s all this?”
While SeJi was floundering for honor and power, SeYeong was busy satisfying her materialistic desires. Her desires overflowed every day, and no matter how much she took, it was never enough.
Because she had been so poor before her mother remarried.
“Should we act like this as a family? No matter how much Dad adores you, you’re still a stranger, we should stick together.”
“I don’t trust these people who call themselves family. They don’t have any abilities, but they’re desperate to suck the marrow out of my spine.”
SeJi patted SeYeong’s shoulder and smiled with a snide grin.
SeYeong knocked SeJi’s hand away.
“Alright, let’s say that’s true. What about Secretary Im? Are you planning on carrying around the kid that Seo Tae In was taking care of?”
“What’s the big deal about loyalty, conviction, and sense of duty? Those can all be bought with triple the money. Do you know what the most enticing offer is to those who need money?”
She was about to spout off again.
Se Yeong bit her lower lip tightly.
When Seo Tae In died, she acted as if she had become the queen. It was utterly distasteful.
Se Ji picked up a macaron and popped it into Se Yeong’s mouth.
“Oh, what would you know? Just stuff your mouth with a macaron and that’ll be enough.”
Se Yeong, who had quickly chewed and swallowed the macaron, widened her eyes.
“……Sister, are you done talking?”
“No, I’ve been holding it in. All the things I want to say, because I had you as a sister.”
“Restraint, huh? I could also kill you if you get on my nerves, right?”
Se Ji looked at Se Yeong and laughed as if it was amusing. At least until Se Yeong made her next remark.
“So, did you kill her? Our Tae In?”
“What?”
“You’re the one who stands to benefit the most from Seo Tae In’s death, right? Isn’t this position something Tae In had trampled over to attain?”
Se Yeong bluntly provoked Se Ji, but Se Ji wasn’t the least bit fazed. As always, she simply stared at Se Yeong with her empty eyes.
“You’re wrong. Only losers like you think about stepping on others to get ahead. Not me. My only competitor is myself.”
Se Ji finished her remaining words while looking down at Se Yeong’s trembling fist.
“Alright, take all the houses, land, and buildings in Seo Tae In’s name. Your small and adorable satisfaction that comes from it is truly cute.”
“Hey, Seo Se Ji!”
Se Ji laughed loudly, seemingly amused, and Se Yeong immediately yelled.
“But could you take off that mismatched necklace? It doesn’t suit you.”
Se Yeong had never called Se Ji’s name or yelled ‘Hey’ since the time Se Ji threatened her with a knife, but Se Yeong had already lost her senses.
“Don’t interfere with my work and get lost.”
Se Ji commanded in a cool manner.
Se Yeong turned her back, unable to probe any further.
It was the same expression as when she had pointed a knife at me when we were young.
After leaving the office, Se Yeong turned her head and glared at the door.
Then, she let out a snicker.
Se Ji’s alibi was a lie. She claimed she was with the legal team’s Woo Je Ha, but he was with someone else.
Moreover, Se Ji’s reaction today, unlike usual, confirmed that she had killed Tae In.
Se Yeong tightly gripped the choking necklace and pulled it off. Pearls scattered in all directions.
“That damn btch.”
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
