“What are we going to do about this?”
Returning, the stern Jin Director fiercely confronted her husband.
Though they had let go of their grown-up children, this was not the result she expected.
They gained nothing and, instead, found themselves cornered.
As someone who valued honor and dignity, this was an unacceptable situation for her.
“Weren’t you friends with Chairman Kwon and couldn’t grasp the atmosphere there? Somehow, even the invitation seemed strange! Ah, geez!”
Chairman Baek, too, had been heavy-hearted since getting out of the car.
Kangho Kwon and Chae-ha Kwon. They could have been in-laws, and getting hit from them was like being hit properly.
Jin Director, who had been swallowing chilled water, tried to regain her inherent composure.
Now, there was a need to objectively assess the situation.
“Considering they meticulously set up the plot and lured us, it’s not something we can just let go. Seeing them come out like that, there must be solid evidence.”
“I agree. People who would try to push us without any evidence.”
“Ha… Even Sara and Jaeyoung are like that. To defend them, they have to commit something worth defending. If this fact leaks out, the shareholders will go crazy! What about Baekyoung? What about my gallery!”
As Jin Director held a stake in Baekyoung’s family, this crisis was not solely theirs.
Therefore, her anger was mounting.
“It’s already spilled water; what can we do?”
Chairman Baek rubbed his throbbing forehead.
He had always been confident that he understood his daughter, Baek Sara, better than his wife, Jin Director.
She was a daughter with ambitions, not inferior to him in that regard.
That’s why when he heard the news that Kwon Chae-ha’s wife had gone missing five years ago, he didn’t simply dismiss it as a coincidence.
There was no reason to inquire, no need to inquire, so he just let it pass.
If a truth that should not have been revealed surfaced, it was something that could not be ignored.
Moreover, the opponent was not Chae-un.
Regardless of strength or weakness, Chae-un had long been an intimate figure to Baek-young.
Whether Jin Director realized that, the tone of her voice rose again.
“Don’t say comforting words. If we don’t even lap up the spilled water right now, it won’t do! Haven’t you seen Chaeha’s eyes just now? She was ready to devour us completely!”
“…That brat.”
Recalling Chaeha’s demand for a public apology, Chairman Baek clenched his teeth.
“I thought she had a bigger bowl than my brother, but it seems she’s trapped in her wife’s skirt with nothing to show. How dare she act so arrogantly…”
Ignoring the need for compensation, publicly revealing the truth in the corporate world alone would be a significant blow.
Could it be possible? Baek-young had an unyielding temperament.
But…
“First, you stay still. I’ll meet Kangho separately.”
“Chairman Kwon?”
“Yes. It seems Chairman Kwon is keeping today’s discussion top secret. At least Chairman Kwon is not the type to jump into action indiscriminately like Chaeha.”
“That’s true, but I heard Chairman Kwon finds his daughter-in-law quite dreadful. I knew about the incident with his grandson, but will he overlook it?”
“Of course, he won’t just overlook it.”
With a gloomy tone, Chairman Baek sighed deeply.
Reluctant as he was, it seemed the time had come to bend his principles.
“First, let’s try to settle the resort land issue as compensation.”
“The resort land? Didn’t I say we don’t need that? Besides, how are we going to get it back from Myunghan?”
“I have something in mind. And, of course, it won’t be the only thing offered to Chaeha.”
“Is there another way?”
“Essentially, what Chaeha wants is not something like money. It’s a desire for revenge against what happened to my wife. In short, she’s angry.”
That made it all the more troublesome.
If the problem could be solved with money, there would be no need for them to rack their brains like this.
To gently persuade, they had to give the impression that they were willing to yield to some extent.
“…We’ll have to give up what needs to be given up on our end.”
“Dad! What did you just say?”
“I said that Myunghan Construction’s eldest son is pushing for your engagement.”
Upon hearing the announcement from Chairman Baek, Baek Sara’s pupils widened.
It took only a few seconds for her to go from shock to anger.
“That’s ridiculous! Myunghan’s eldest son is ten years older than me!”
“Your mom and I also have an eight-year age difference, but we’ve been living well until today.”
“Ha! Have you seen that man’s face? He looks tired and worn out, with a scruffy beard, and he’s already starting to go bald!”
Baek Sara, who had met him in connection with the resort land issue, was even more furious.
The man I desire is undoubtedly the golden prince, Kwon Chaehoon. To be matched with a man who is not even a man and whom my father cannot match, it was beyond a betrayal.
“It’s not the time to argue about that now. Honestly, spill it. Did you really arrange that with Sara? With Jaeyoung, too?”
“…”
