“Yeah. Honestly, I found it strange. Min Seolwon, who didn’t even look at me despite being promised a large sum. But how did you persuade her with what means?”
“Well, since I endured living as a daughter-in-law all along, I didn’t want mother-in-law’s money.”
“Then why did her mother die so suddenly?”
“Well, who knows. Maybe Myung reached the limit. You know, right? She was a patient with a terminal illness. It wouldn’t be strange for her to die at any time.”
In her cold and indifferent tone, there was not a hint of sincerity.
Now Hyeongju realized that Baek Sara had deceived her in some way.
But now, it was already too late.
“Whatever happened, Madam. Don’t forget that the person who played the biggest role in Sara’s disappearance is Madam herself. If Madam hadn’t just mentioned that the two were in a contractual relationship, I would have completely given up on Ms. Chaeha.”
“……. ”
Exhausted from even asking if she had really given up, Hyeongju gulped down the remaining drink in one go.
Then, as if she had been waiting, Baek Sara picked up her handbag and stood up.
“Oh.”
There was a moment when her body swayed because her shoe got caught on the leg of the chair.
Someone approached and briskly supported her. It was a man Hyeongju had never seen before.
Seeing the man, Baek Sara’s expression immediately turned hostile.
“What? Why are you here?”
“Ah. As Madam instructed, I followed this Madam here, and since the representative happened to be here, I waited.”
“……. ”
With a look of disbelief, Baek Sara’s lips parted.
With a nervous look, Hyeongju stared at the back of the two as they left the lounge.
She was now keenly aware that trust between her and Baek Sara had long disappeared, or rather, perhaps it had never existed from the beginning.
“Didn’t things go well for you today?”
“Hmm?”
“Ms. Chaeha looks dark. I’m worried.”
Observing Chaeha’s complexion as she returned after work, Seolwon spoke with concern.
She also knew that a board meeting had been held today regarding the resort land deal.
“It seems everyone considered Baek Young’s property as the top priority. It was absurd how they naturally believed it would become Chaeun’s possession. Probably because of Mother. It’s better this way. I intend to make it clear to the executives that they have no connection with Baek Young.”
“Isn’t that a significant loss for you?”
Seolwon’s voice contained even deeper concern.
“Well, I didn’t think it would be approved at the board meeting. Still, it’s a bit unexpected that the idea of a comprehensive review came up.”
“A comprehensive review?”
“Well, not everyone within the company is an ally. Sometimes, it’s scarier when enemies don’t reveal themselves.”
“……. ”
With a hint of concern in Seolwon’s voice, Chaeha suddenly approached and raised her chin abruptly.
With a sudden move like that, Seolwon’s pupils widened.
“……?”
“What should I do, Min Seolwon? Since you look so worried about me, I hope things continue to go wrong in the future as well.”
“Is that some absurd talk…?”
“About Wooju?”
When Chaeha suddenly asked about Wooju’s whereabouts, Seolwon smiled slyly but gave a firm answer.
“She’s drawing in her room.”
“Really? That’s good.”
“What?”
Before the question mark could disperse, his lips met Seolwon’s lips.
In this situation, with such a kiss.
Despite the absurdity, a dizzying sensation instantly enveloped her.
As if trying to reassure her, Chaeha leaned in for a kiss, and Seolwon closed her eyes slightly.
With a whimsical thought of wishing Wooju were here, drawing slowly.
“Ilhwan, what’s going on?”
“Father.”
Jung Secretary came out to the living room at his son’s call.
It was a late hour when all three grandchildren were asleep, so they sat facing each other carefully, trying not to make any noise.
“There was an opinion at today’s board meeting that the resort deal should undergo a comprehensive review.”
“…Is that so? Our Vice President is in a difficult situation.”
“Yes. It’s not saying they will completely scrap it, but there are directors who subtly emit that kind of nuance.”
“He was promoted so quickly; there must be many who envy and are jealous.”
Adjusting his glasses, Secretary Jung sighed.
As Chaeha, there was a mountain to climb to firmly secure the vice president position, and it seemed unavoidable.
And probably, the real crisis was about to begin now.
Baek Young was expected to transfer that land to a competitor, but it was clear that he would continue to interfere and plot against them afterward.
“Father.”
“Oh, you. Speak. Ilhwan seems to have something to say to his father.”
Director Jung glanced at his father’s wrinkled face and reluctantly opened his mouth.
He knew very well that his father was stern on this subject, but he couldn’t just stay silent.
“The records of Yoon Seo’s dealings with Baek Jaeyoung. What if we reveal them, Father?”
“…Ilhwan.”
“I understand. Father’s heart that doesn’t want to reveal it to the world. But I don’t want to bury Yoon Seo’s tragic death. Father, you’ve mentioned it before. There is karma in the world, and you reap what you sow, so you have to live honestly.”
“…”
“Yoon Seo, who was so honest and sincere, left the world unfairly. I… can never forgive Baek Jaeyoung. That scum, and the money Baek Young as well.”
Baek Jaeyoung. The man who brought his daughter’s death and pain.
The name Baek Jaeyoung, indelibly painful on Secretary Jung’s face, was overshadowed by deep agony.

When Yu Shu was diagnosed with pregnancy, Yan Jin stared at his belly for a long time.
Covering his stomach, he muttered gloomily, “If you don’t like it, I’ll go get an abortion.”
“It’s not that I don’t like it.” Yan Jin hugged Yu Shu and said softly, “I just feel like I’m not human.”
Yu Shu comforted Yan Jin, “I was already an adult when we got together.”
Yan Jin hesitated, “But you won’t be of legal marriageable age even after giving birth to the child.”
At the same time, a flood of bullet comments appeared in the live streaming room that the two couldn’t see.
[Although it’s inappropriate, I also want a young and handsome boyfriend to have my child.]
