The cleaning lady who entered Cheolwook’s study skillfully began cleaning. Yuna also received a mop from the cleaning lady.
“I’ll take care of this side. Just tidy up the trash can roughly, please.”
“Miss, I’ll handle everything. I’ll speak well to the doctor.”
“Ma’am, I said I’ll do it. And didn’t you tell my father that you have some great influence and praised me to him?”
At Yuna’s defiant reaction, the cleaning lady was perplexed and didn’t know what to do.
Suppressing her fear and anxiety, Yuna searched every nook and cranny of the study. Finally, she found the safe hidden behind a large frame.
She swallowed a dry gulp.
After clearing her throat, she spoke to the cleaning lady in a tone different from before.
“Ma’am, I’m sorry earlier. I’ve been a bit sensitive lately, I guess. I’ll take care of the rest now. Please go out and do your work.”
“Ah… Okay.”
With a bewildered expression, the cleaning lady left the study. Yuna, now alone in the study, approached the frame.
How can I find the password to open the safe?
Yuna felt her heart pounding, as if it would jump out of her mouth.
But she had to calm down and find it. Yuna tried combining several numbers related to her father Cheolwook, but the safe didn’t open.
One second felt as long as an hour. Tick-tock, tick-tock.
A voice from outside heard the cleaning lady.
“Miss, can I really not help you?”
Yuna’s heart almost dropped. She was irritated, but she held back. If she didn’t pull herself together now, she would be discovered by Cheolwook soon.
For a moment, I thought about passing on Cheolwook’s weakness to Director Yoon and living, but the resentment about Cheolwook, who seemed not to consider me as his daughter, blew away such thoughts.
Even if I don’t pass it on to Director Yoon, it will be a trump card if I have it.
After clearing her throat, Yuna answered the cleaning lady.
“It’s okay. You can finish. Ma’am, please do your work. There was a lot of dust on the window sill in the second-floor living room, so please clean it thoroughly.”
Yuna closed her eyes and reconsidered the password that Cheolwook might have set.
After much deliberation, with the feeling of it being the last, she pressed the numbers.
Praying earnestly to the heavens.
Please help me just this once, and I promise I’ll live a good life.
Whether that prayer was answered or not, the sound of a click was heard, and the safe opened.
Yuna’s face brightened.
Finally, she did it. Indeed, God did not abandon me.
But at that moment, she heard the voices of the household staff and Cheolwook from outside.
“Doctor, you’re here?”
“Yes, yes. I have to go out soon, but if Director Yoon comes, guide him to the study.”
“Yes, Doctor.”
Yuna, startled by Cheolwook’s words, quickly searched the safe and pulled out the USB. Carefully closing the safe without making a sound, she rearranged the frame to its original position. At that moment, Cheolwook’s voice came from behind.
“What are you doing here?”
“Oh, Father. Since it’s my day off, I thought I could help you clean your study. I was just dusting the frame.”
Yuna quickly pocketed the USB and raised the mop, showing it to Cheolwook.
Without loosening his displeased expression, Cheolwook sat down at his desk.
“Don’t do useless things, go find a good match. Tsk tsk. What are you doing for your father? I’ve arranged a meeting this Sunday, so stop talking nonsense and go out and get approval for the marriage.”
“Oh… Father!”
“I’ve said enough. Get out quickly!”
With Cheolwook’s fuss, Yuna exited the study in a hurry. She rechecked the USB in her pocket and wiped her chest. As Yuna tried to go upstairs to her room, suddenly, there was commotion at the entrance.
“Oh, what should we do about this?”
“Should we inform the doctor?”
The household staff were in disarray. Yuna approached them.
“What’s going on?”
“That… right now…”
Coincidentally, Cheolwook came out and assessed the situation.
“What’s happening?”
“The police are here.”
“The police?”
“They say they’ve come to see the young lady.”
“Me?”
Cheolwook glanced at Yuna standing next to him. He gestured to open the door while scowling.
The staff reluctantly opened the door. The men entering the house brought a rough atmosphere.
Upon seeing Cheolwook, they nodded slightly in greeting and approached Yuna.
“Miss Jinyuna, let’s go together.”
“What? Why me?”
“At this moment, you’re under arrest for violating Article 288 of the Criminal Code. You have the right to appoint an attorney, the right to defend yourself, and the right to apply for release on bail. Come with us.”
“What? What are you talking about?”
“Choi Hyeongjin and Jeon Seungae have already explained everything.”
“No! What are you misunderstanding? I don’t know those people!”
Yuna started to tremble. It was frightening to be dragged away from here. If she could escape now, she would cling to Cheolwook. No, should she tell Director Yoon? Various thoughts crossed Yuna’s mind.
“Evidence is sufficient.”
“Evidence?”
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…?
