“It’s an old model, but the recording function is still quite useful. Baek Jaeyoung, Baek Sara. Inside here, very cleanly captured, is a scene where both of you conspire against my wife, even the voices are perfectly clear.”
Whip, Baek Sara turned her head towards Baek Jaeyoung, glaring at him as if to kill him.
To ensure there were no loose ends in handling the aftermath, but could he have left such an absurd piece of evidence behind!
“Why on earth did the object that should have sunk into the sea come out here?”
“……You!”
This time, Baek Sara’s head turned sharply towards the thin man.
She was deceived. Properly tricked. Both Baek Jaeyoung and herself.
Baek Jaeyoung also seemed to realize this fact only now, staring blankly at his own tangled webs.
Facing Baek Sara’s threatening gaze without flinching, the man calmly let out a laugh.
It was a smile of a winner, quite different from the pitiful laugh before.
“Do you know my nickname? It’s actually ‘Quick Hands.'”
“…Quick Hands?”
“Please listen to my pitiful story. My hometown is in Gangwon Province, and my family struggled financially from a young age. My parents barely made a living cleaning casinos, and I also worked odd jobs at the casino once I became an adult. My hands were fast, so I gained some popularity.”
At the unexpected mention of his past, the expressions of the Baek siblings simultaneously turned fierce.
However, Chae-ha was quietly listening to his story.
Perhaps he brought her here to tell her. Therefore, Seol-won also listened attentively.
“But one day, while my mother was delivering guest money as a favor, some guy stole that money. Without evidence, my mother was falsely accused of being a thief. Naturally, she lost her job.”
“…What the hell are you talking about?”
Although Baek Sara’s annoyed voice echoed through the high ceiling, no one sympathized with her.
Instead, the man continued his story even more leisurely.
“My parents ended up in a mountain of debt all at once. The amount of money going back and forth in the casino is beyond imagination. He was a truly despicable man. Crying and begging didn’t help; it only made the person worse, pulling my father into debt even more. The background was incredibly solid.”
“…You, surely…”
Listening to the man’s story, Baek Jaeyoung’s complexion turned even paler, as if he had grasped something.
“The person who covered for that scoundrel, he was more than I thought, not lacking. Because of those bastards, my parents fell into the abyss of life.”
“…….”
“So, I made up my mind. I decided to show them the abyss too.”
Suddenly, the man’s blurry eyes focused.
The target of his gaze was unmistakably Baek Jaeyoung.
“Fortunately, my hands were quick. Thanks to that, I was able to get my hands on this black box hidden in his casino locker. Do you remember this? Jang Min-sik, who had this, was once a subordinate of your brother.”
Upon the revelation of the truth, Baek Jaeyoung was stunned.
What he had been carrying to strike Baek Sara’s back of the head turned out to be an axe striking his own Achilles’ heel.
And it was a powerful axe that could sever the ankle at once.
“While pretending to be a gambler at the casino and investigating, I found out that there was some kind of deal between our Jaeyoung hyung and that guy. I was able to confirm it through the black box. However, that alone was not enough. In order to meticulously understand the truth, I deliberately stayed close to Hyung.”
“This guy, you…”
“The recording I played earlier was our glamorous younger sister’s version, and, of course, there’s Hyung’s version too. I told you, my nickname is ‘Quick Hands.’ Especially, Hyung’s phone was also stolen. Very thoroughly. I heard he even did various lobbies, saying he would become the Enter representative, right?”
“Hey, you crazy bastard!”
Unable to endure any longer, Baek Jaeyoung swung his fist.
However, before that fist could reach the man, it was intercepted by Cha-ha.
Looking down at Baek Jaeyoung with a cold gaze, Cha-ha twisted his arm.
Oof! With a sound, the man’s lively voice continued.
“To the deputy secretary standing there, I specially gave a gift of Jang Min-sik’s photo. It’s easy to find. Indeed, if your hands are quick, they can be very useful, right?”
“Ah!”
Without saying a word, Director Jung, who had been listening from behind, shouted out in realization.
The protagonist who put the photo in his pocket was right in front of him.
Truly, the man’s actions were almost blind.
“That’s how people can’t live after committing a crime. Isn’t that right? Baek Jaeyoung, Miss Baek Sara.”
The man forcefully called their names without any honorifics.
As if erasing all the honorifics and calling their names like criminals, Baek Jaeyoung clenched his fists in anger.
Baek Sara, too, was furious.
However, unlike her brother, she openly started to resist.
“Where is this rat-like guy being so audacious? Evidence? That kind of fake evidence? Don’t talk nonsense! I haven’t ordered anything!”
“Heh. If you say so, it puts me in a difficult position.”
Even though an abundance of evidence had suddenly emerged, Baek Sara seemed unwilling to admit it.
As the bait she had been using squirmed and wriggled for a moment, her reason was laid bare.
“Get lost! Where did this garbage-like guy dare to play such a dirty trick! Chairman. Chairwoman. Don’t be fooled! It’s a trick to threaten me for money!”
“Well, let’s see if that’s really the case.”
Interrupting Baek Sara’s resistance, Cha-ha smiled.
Behind that smile, two shadows appeared side by side.
Seol-won’s eyes widened in surprise, unable to hide her astonishment.
Baek Sara, too, was no different; her reason was laid bare.
The person who appeared behind Cha-ha was Jang Min-sik, the subordinate mentioned earlier by Baek Jaeyoung.
And the other person trembling like a leaf was Kang, Baek Sara’s secretary.
Facing the half-souled and about-to-faint Baek siblings, Cha-ha coldly whispered behind them.
“Why is that? I personally brought the people you two were eagerly looking for, so you should welcome them warmly, shouldn’t you?”
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
