Not for the First Time (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
“Ah, yes. Understood…….”
Beom Joon hung up the phone with a dazed expression.
The person he had just spoken to was Chang Geun’s lawyer. He said Chang Geun had a message for him and then told him an unbelievable story.
That Chae Young In was Cha Sung Hyuk’s woman.
That after Young In had vented a bit of anger on him, she ended up getting utterly destroyed by Sung Hyuk for displeasing him.
Beom Joon already knew Chang Geun was in custody. But he only found out today that it was connected to Sung Hyuk.
Beom Joon had also been questioned by the police after Chang Geun was arrested. It was only natural since he was part of the group they often hung out with.
The result was no charges. He had known about the drug use of Chang Geun and a few others, so he didn’t feel particularly wronged.
He only felt belatedly proud that he had resisted their temptations despite being mocked as a coward.
“So that’s what it was…….”
Everything that had occasionally made him tilt his head in confusion finally made sense. It all fit together perfectly, like puzzle pieces clicking into place.
The fact that Sung Hyuk had stolen Chang Geun’s arranged date, suddenly went to SL Entertainment, told Young In to come pick him up but showed up himself—once he knew about the two of them, none of it seemed strange at all.
He was dumbfounded that he hadn’t noticed until now.
He wondered if his conviction that the great Cha Sung Hyuk would never date a mere adopted kid had blocked his normal reasoning.
After sitting blankly for a long while, he shot up from his seat and went out to the living room.

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
