“Father asked me to stop by the house today.”
On his way back from work, upon receiving Heo YoungJu’s unilateral notice, ChaeHa had to redirect his steps towards his family home.
Despite the premium dessert he had carefully chosen to gift to SeolWon and WooJoo, it was an unwelcome summon.
Especially given the timing of the call, he had a hunch about the matter at hand.
As expected, as soon as he entered the house, an agitated Heo YoungJu stormed out to him, starting to shoot questions at him.
“Hey, ChaeHa, you! Can you explain it to me properly? Who is that woman, where did she come from?”
“Mother.”
“You sneak her into our house without us knowing, what are you really planning? Even Sara had to see that mess! She was so upset! Do you know how hard it was for me to make excuses? Huh?”
“What about father?”
“Look at this guy? Are you not going to properly answer me?”
“Are you here. Sit there.”
“Yes.”
Seeing her protest being completely ignored, Heo YoungJu stomped her feet in frustration.
She defiantly ignored the president, Kwon KangHo’s admonition to go in, and sat squarely between the two.
“Why did you call me? If it’s about work, you could have told me at the company.”
“It’s about work, but there are also some personal things that we need to discuss, so I called you home.”
“That’s right! Because of that woman….”
“You keep quiet. If you’re going to keep making unnecessary comments, go to your room.”
Upon receiving a frosty glare from President Kwon, Heo YoungJu reluctantly shut her mouth.
Then President Kwon began to address ChaeHa about the real matter at hand.
“Baek Young has been pressuring us about the resort land issue.”
“Is that so?”
“That land they’re holding was virtually the top candidate. It’s a prime land that Baek Young Construction has had their eyes on for a long time.”
“What are you saying?”
“If you don’t quickly answer about the marriage proposal, they will hand over that land to a competitor.”
President Kwon’s tone was very flat. And ChaeHa was not much different.
“It’s within expectations. From the moment they proposed giving us that land, I knew that they could use it as a weakness to shake us.”
“I heard you found that girl.”
“Yes. After 5 years, I found her with great difficulty. She was really hiding very well.”
“I’m glad she’s alive.”
Heo YoungJu, who was listening to the conversation between father and son, couldn’t hide her displeasure.
Even when SeolWon was the daughterinlaw of this house, although President Kwon KangHo wasn’t particularly affectionate, he treated her as a legitimate member of the Kwon family.
No matter how much Heo YoungJu fussed, when there was a business family event, he always included SeolWon.
Even after repetitively asserting that the daughterinlaw of the Kwon family is Baek SaRa, President Kwon showed no particular liking for Baek SaRa.
Due to his constant line drawing of wanting to remain strictly business with Baek Young, Heo YoungJu was unable to expedite matters.
And during that time, a woman named Min SeolWon, whom he had never heard of or seen before, appeared and took her place by ChaeHa’s side.
“What are you planning to do?”
“Which side are you asking about? Baek Young, or my wife?”
“I called you out of curiosity for your opinion on both.”
The heavy gaze of Chairman Kwon Gang Ho seemed to press down on Chae Ha’s shoulders as if it were a test.
Of course, Chae Ha had no reason to hesitate with his answer.
“I anticipated Baek Young would respond in that way. That’s why I’ve been considering other sites as candidates from the beginning. There are several places that are sufficiently good in terms of location and price.”
“Well done.”
“If I cannot prepare for even predictable problems, then I don’t need my place in Chae Un.”
Seemingly satisfied, Chairman Kwon took a moment to enjoy his tea.
In the meantime, Chae Ha shifted his gaze to his mother, Heo Young Joo.
His second answer seemed to be directed towards her.
“I will obviously take responsibility for my wife. I mention it here, but we already have a child together.”
“You… Kwon Chae Ha! A child? How dare you! Who’s child is it!”
“If you want, I can show you as well, mother. The results of the paternity test, I mean.”
“Hey, husband! You say something! Where did you get a child whose parentage is unknown…!”
“If he’s done the paternity test, whose child would it be if not our Chae Ha’s? Watch your words. Do people lose dignity as they age?”
Chairman Kwon glared at Heo Young Joo with fierce eyes.
Unphased, Chae Ha quietly continued his statement.
“What’s most important to me right now is not establishing a new resort, but finding out what exactly happened to my wife five years ago.”
“……!”
Heo Young Joo, who had been bowing her head deeply under Chairman Kwon Gang Ho’s gaze, suddenly lifted her head.
Her trembling eyes were filled with some sort of fear.
