Not for the First Time (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 80

This time, Beom Joon caused an accident on the level of self-destruction.

He went to meet the employee who had sued A Rim, as instructed by CEO Chae. But the people who showed up at the meeting place weren’t the employee—it was the family the employee had sent.

Having no choice, Beom Joon handed them money as consolation. He even comforted them, asking how heartbroken they must be, yet the bereaved family threw the envelope of money in his face, saying they didn’t need this kind of cash.

Faced with an insult he had never experienced before, he lost his temper and spat out harsh words without realizing his voice was being recorded.

“What? Not enough money? Go ahead, name your price. You keep saying your daughter, your sister almost died because of my younger sibling, but let’s be honest—did my sibling force her mouth open and make her take the pills? She tried to kill herself because she was mentally weak, so why are you blaming my sibling?”

When the recording was released to the media, the public erupted in anger.

To make matters worse, his secretary filed a lawsuit against him, claiming ongoing sexual harassment.

The moment Chae Seung announced the convening of an extraordinary general shareholders’ meeting, EUN Media began pouring out articles. They had stayed quiet until then only because Sung Hyuk had asked them to.

On his way back to Seoul after visiting his mother-in-law’s grave, Sung Hyuk told Jae Kyung about his future plans in the car and asked her to start adding firepower once Chae Seung called the extraordinary meeting.

Jae Kyung unleashed a bombardment of articles exactly at the timing he had mentioned.

As soon as the boycott movement began, CEO Chae hurriedly dismissed Beom Joon and A Rim from their positions. But the damage was irreversible.

The public outrage showed no signs of dying down, and the shareholders’ fury only grew louder.

With scandals that could topple the company even if only one exploded all breaking out at once, Chae Seung was completely devastated. He was utterly helpless—there was literally nothing he could do.

Madam Kwak, watching one incident after another erupt, was on the verge of losing her mind. Everything felt like her fault; she couldn’t sleep or eat.

Every time she saw her daughter’s face, her daughter would scream at her furiously, and it tormented her to death.
