“You, darling…”
Kwon Kang Ho, the chairman who had been in the upstairs study, cut off Huh Young Joo’s words and came down the stairs.
His face was filled with unbearable anger.
“Are you still not coming to your senses? Isn’t the ban on leaving the house and confiscation of all your cards enough? Where is this audacity coming from?”
“……You’re like this because you know nothing!”
Heo Young Joo continued to scream unyieldingly.
Then, she lashed out wildly at Chae Ha.
“Listen well. Here we have the impressive Kwon Chae Ha! The relationship between our son and your snobbish daughterinlaw, Min Seol Won, is contractual. It’s not a marriage born from love, but a setup!”
“……What?”
Caught off guard by the revelation, Chae Ha’s forehead creased seriously.
“How does my mother know about this?”
“See, see! You’re not even denying it! Clearly, you did not want to marry Sara, so you’ve intentionally diverted attention! That despicable woman took our money and deceived us while performing this drama…….”
“I asked how you knew.”
As Chae Ha’s gaze became more severe, Heo Young Joo reluctantly spilled the beans.
It was just as well since Kwon Gang Ho was there too.
He would now understand why she could not let go of Baek Sara even after Chae Ha’s marriage.
“I overheard it! When you two abruptly decided to live separately!”
“…….”
“The two of you were talking in the room! Min Seol Won was questioning why there’s a need to move out when there’s less than half a year left to the contract marriage.”
“Ha…….”
So there were such circumstances. Chae Ha let out a sigh.
After sharing love with Seol Won for the first time, he had insisted on living separately to create a quiet nest for just the two of them.
He remembered that Seol Won had indeed objected at that time.
She said there was no need to go through all the trouble since not much time was left.
“You heard it, right, darling? Our marriage wasn’t genuine! We were deceived! Completely deceived!”
“……Is it true?”
Kwon Gang Ho asked Chae Ha in a heavy voice, to which Chae Ha nodded without hesitation.
However, he did not forget to clarify.
“It’s true we had a contract. But there was never any immoral dealings. And now, we truly love each other.”
“What, what?”
Heo Young Joo practically spat as she pushed herself forward towards Chae Ha.
“Love? Love? Ha! How ridiculous! How can you love someone you don’t remember?”
“I love her. I may not remember Min Seol Won, but I love her deeply. I can’t live without her now. Min Seol Won is my only wife.”
“You…… you’re saying the same thing as Tae Ha. I failed in raising my son! Oh, my fate!”
“Be quiet!”
The chairman Kwon scolded Heo Young Joo, who had been screaming and crying.
At this, Heo Young Joo fell to the floor, wailing.
“I can’t accept it! I just can’t!”
“……Follow me upstairs.”
Deciding they could no longer converse here, Chairman Kwon led his son to the study.
A while later, Chae Ha found himself facing his father, Chairman Kwon.
Chairman Kwon Kang Ho opened his mouth with a solemn expression.
“I don’t want you to tread the same path as Tae Ha.”
“Father. As I told you, I love my wife. I haven’t forgotten her for a single moment in the past 5 years.”
“I know. I’m your father, how would I not know that?”
Chairman Kwon opened a drawer in his study desk and took something out.
Then he handed that glittering object to Chae Ha.
“This is…….”
“I heard that yesterday Seol Won was supposed to receive something but it was stolen by Baek Sa Ra. I specially requested this necklace from La Pelle, it’s the only one they have, so take it to her.”
“…….”
“It’s a gift for my daughterinlaw who has safely returned.”
“Father.”
As Chae Ha looked straight at his father, Chairman Kwon nodded with a gracious face.
“All I want is my son’s happiness. If you, Chae Ha, are happy, that’s all I need.”
Meanwhile, at the same time, there was another house where chaos had broken out.
The sound of things breaking echoed throughout the house all day, but it couldn’t possibly have been louder than Baek Sa Ra’s inner turmoil.
“Damn it!”
Baek Sa Ra trembled with anger, biting her wellmanicured fingernails.
The humiliation she suffered at the La Pelle launch party, it seemed like she wouldn’t feel better even if she could strangle Min Seol Won’s thin neck right now.
A few guests saw that scene through the open door, and rumors spread faster than the wind.
That she had been publicly humiliated by Kwon Chae Ha.
It was like throwing chewy fodder to the people who always found her annoying.
He must have brought Min Seol Won to announce publicly that he had no intention of remarrying now that his wife was back.
And that wasn’t all.
The way Kwon Chae Ha looked at Min Seol Won was deeper than when he had encountered her in the house not long ago.
A gaze full of desperate longing, beyond simply looking at his wife.
A gaze saying he could give up everything to protect something precious.
“Ahh!”
Baek Sa Ra, not satisfied with just throwing things, started tearing at the blankets like a madwoman.
As if the blanket was the hem of Min Seol Won’s dress.
Just then.
The vibration of her cellphone sounded through the crack of her rage.
Baek Sa Ra’s eyes sparkled sharply when she saw the name of the caller.
Like a hawk snatching its prey, Baek Sa Ra swiftly picked up her cellphone.
Then, as if nothing had happened, she replied in her usual calm and dignified voice.
“Yes. Brother. Did you find out something?”
[I found something you might be interested in, Sa Ra. When are you going to introduce me to So Jin?]
“Wait a little longer. I have to have something in my hand first, don’t I? What is it? Something I might be interested in?”
[I found the island where Min Seol Won lived, just as you asked. But something interesting came along.]
“Something interesting?”
For some reason, she had a good hunch, and Baek Sa Ra’s lips rose in a smile for the first time in a long while.
[Yes. That woman. There was a man on the island with her.]lu lu lo la ▪️ net (lululola.net)
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
