“Are you really collaborating with Jaeyoung?”
Firmly sealing the mouth that had been teasing her earlier, Baek Sara replied to the question.
Looking at such a daughter, Chairman Baek firmly decided that this time he could not yield.
There was no faster way to find the land than by forming a relationship with Myunghan and his son-in-law.
Moreover, it had to be publicly known that Baek Sara had completely given up on Kwon Chaeha.
To clearly convey that she no longer coveted his side, she had to accept the act of apologizing, if nothing else.
Thus, Chairman Baek finally broke his daughter’s long-cherished hope with his own hands.
“Now admit it, Sara. You and Kwon Chaeha are not destined, but doomed.”
“…Doomed?”
“If not that, then what? If you go any further, it will really be the edge of the cliff. Businessmen need to know when to advance and when to stand still.”
“Dad, I…”
Now, even as Chairman Baek, it was time for him to stop.
“Fortunately, Myunghan is also looking at the marriage positively, so it won’t take long. I’ll somehow handle the mess you caused, so take care of yourself for a while. If you’re bored, take some bridal lessons.”
“Dad!”
Baeksara’s cry echoed through the high ceiling of the Baek family room.
But at this moment, her voice no longer reached her father’s heart.
She was now turning into a troublesome task that Chairman Baek had to solve.
“Go on. Your dad’s head hurts a bit, so he needs to lie down. Your mom came in early today, so it’s better for you not to run into her. Go home quickly.”
“…”
As Chairman Baek, wearing slippers, disappeared into the room, Baeksara bit her lips tightly.
The boiling anger in her chest seemed like it would swallow her up right away.
Even her trusted father wasn’t on her side.
“Well, Myunghan?”
With a sneer between her lips, Baeksara spat out a laugh.
Where is she making such a fuss? She hadn’t been chasing Kwon Chaeha’s back for ten years just for that.
“Sure, fine. Let’s see how far this goes.”
If there was no way to get it this way or that, there was only one option left.
It was only natural that others couldn’t have a toy that I couldn’t have.
And not just to any woman like Min Seolwon, who was like a weed. I couldn’t let her enjoy an unsuitable happiness.
Thoroughly, I was determined to trample it down and destroy it.
Not even leaving the form of a toy.
“Okay, did you find out what I ordered?”
As the door opened, Baek Jaeyeong rose from his seat with a menacing look.
The man who entered was the bait he had left for Baeksara.
“Yes. He was definitely at the casino, but he hid his whereabouts all of a sudden. It seems like no one has seen him recently.”
“Ha, X! Things are turning out to be a real headache.”
Baek Jaeyeong cursed, hitting his forehead.
The man directly involved in the incident five years ago.
He knew he wasn’t a good guy, but at that time, he didn’t know how to choose his friends.
He sent him a lot of money, but the man knew too much about the truth of the incident.
Moreover, whenever he tried to contact him for confirmation, he always demanded a gambling debt, and gradually the frequency of contact decreased.
He thought he was just a trashy guy with no particular significance.
In fact, for several years, nothing happened.
Now that Kwon Chaeha has uncovered all the details, he has become a very important person.
At the same time, he was a dangerous person.
They tried to either give more money or somehow coerce and completely send her abroad, but as her whereabouts became unknown, the problem was growing.
It was difficult once it got out of hand, and he even suspected that someone else might have intervened.
“No way…”
Suddenly, the mischievous face of Baeksara flashed through Baek Jaeyeong’s mind.
Beyond whatever they had planned together, the man was an intersection just like them.
A witness to the incident. In other words, someone who could betray either side at any time.
“Why are you doing this, sir?”
“Ah. It’s nothing.”
“Yes.”
Baek Jaeyeong stared intently at the man’s dry face and issued instructions again.
“Keep investigating! It’s okay to release more people; I must find her first.”
“I understand.”
After the man nodded and left, Baek Jaeyeong fell into deep thought.
It seemed like he had to keep an eye on his incredibly cheeky younger sister.
She had made it sound like she was asking for help, but he knew she was always ready to strike at his back.
Of course, he had no intention of sitting back and being deceived.
Upon closer inspection, he was just a victim of Baeksara’s trickery, and ultimately, she was the one who caused the trouble.
If you turn this fact around, it might be a good opportunity for him.
Although he felt uneasy about Jeongbi, Secretary Jung’s daughter, it was merely a matter of propriety.
It was just a mistake from his inexperienced days.
The important thing was still the case of Min Seolwon.
Thinking back, not pulling out the roots from the beginning was the mistake.
Around that time, Baek Jaeyeong committed all sorts of misdeeds because he couldn’t get approval from his father.
When Baeksara asked him to take care of Min Seolwon’s case, it was partly out of curiosity and fun.
When she suggested pushing the car under the breakwater, he didn’t feel the need to disguise it.
There was no reason to complicate things when he could just get rid of it.
On the other hand, Baeksara chose a clumsy wrongdoing.
It was a fatal mistake of a naive and noble princess.
She believed that the world would go back to normal without dirtying her hands so much.
In the end, Min Seolwon appeared in front of them alive.
Because they didn’t finish her off, they found themselves in the most desperate situation of their lives.
It was a thoroughly unpleasant fate.
