Taekyung scrutinized a photo he had taken out of a paper bag.
Jeon Seungae and Choi Hyungjin.
Seoha’s biological mother and her lover.
During the times Taekyung met with Seoha, whenever her mother came asking for money, Seoha would quickly pull out her wallet and hand over the cash, sending her mother away.
Taekyung always found it odd that Seoha’s mother, though bearing a resemblance to Seoha, had a completely different aura.
Once, he discovered Seoha secretly crying because of her mother. He couldn’t probe further, fearing he might reopen her wounds. All he could do was pretend ignorance, comforting her with his warmth.
“Why did Jeon Seungae visit the chairman’s office of HY Group five years ago? And 100 million won flowed to her? Hmm, what kind of deal was it?”
Taekyung tapped his fingers rhythmically on the desk, deep in thought.
Suddenly, his secretary entered, looking troubled. “Sir, there’s a visitor insisting on seeing you…”
As the secretary hesitated, a coarse male voice echoed from outside the executive office, “I’ve come to tell you something really important! What do these people think I am!”
Recognizing the commotion, Taekyung gave a nod to his distressed secretary, “Let him in.”
“Okay…”
The secretary, relieved, quickly went out to usher in Hyungjin.
Taekyung, sitting on the sofa, awaited Hyungjin’s arrival.
Observing Taekyung’s arrogant demeanor, Hyungjin felt his anger twist, but he couldn’t afford to lose this opportunity.
‘Just money. This young master of HY Group, leading a successful education business, will be my golden goose.’
With this thought, Hyungjin managed to overlook Taekyung’s arrogance.
“Hello.”
“Please, have a seat.”
Taekyung didn’t bother with pleasantries. He already knew who this man was.
Choi Hyungjin.
The face he had just seen in the photos was now in front of him, older and more pitiful.
“The executive office is nice. But you should train your employees better in hospitality,” Hyungjin commented, sitting down with a swagger.
Taekyung suppressed a frown, disgusted by the stench coming off Hyungjin.
Hyungjin, noticing Taekyung’s silence, lounged back on the sofa, crossing his legs.
“Aren’t you curious why I’m here?”
“Until a moment ago, I wasn’t.”
“Ah, you shouldn’t be like that. I have something very valuable.”
Hyungjin’s lips curled into a sly smile.
“If it’s so valuable, why bring it to me?”
Hyungjin, undeterred by Taekyung’s indifference, grew increasingly irritated.
“You know Ms. Kim Seoha, right?”
“And what about her?”
Hyungjin started to scrutinize Taekyung, trying to read his reaction, but Taekyung remained inscrutable.
“I know Seoha very well. And I know things even you, Mr. Han, don’t.”
“…”
“Ah, the information will shock you. But of course, I can’t give it away for free. Everything has its price, huh.”
Taekyung, silent, kept his gaze fixed on Hyungjin.
This ominous man seemed to have some knowledge about Seoha.
Hyungjin’s sleazy face made Taekyung want to throw him out immediately, but he had to restrain himself.
“So, what do you want?”
“I’d appreciate a little token of gratitude for the information.”
“What kind of information is it, and can I trust the information provided by Choi Hyungjin?”
Hyungjin, thinking he had finally caught Taekyung’s interest, struggled to suppress his laughter with a forced cough.
“Kim Seoha’s reason for leaving 5 years ago, aren’t you curious?”
“Do you think I would be?”
“You might not be now, but you will be after hearing it. Seoha left because of you, Mr. Han.”
For a fleeting moment, Taekyung’s expression hardened, then relaxed so quickly that Hyungjin didn’t notice.
Taekyung had never considered Seoha had left because of him. The day before she disappeared, she had called his name affectionately and confessed her love with all her heart.
‘Because of me? She said she was sick of me, was that true?’
Taekyung wanted to rush to Seoha and confront her, but he knew she wouldn’t be honest with him. She had been avoiding him, and he had to find out why on his own.
Unaware of Taekyung’s thoughts, Hyungjin added, “And seeing you know who I am, you must know I’m remarried to Seoha’s mother.”
‘Remarried, he says. They’re not even divorced yet.’
Taekyung inwardly scoffed at the absurdity.
Hyungjin, looking at Taekyung, paused before continuing, “So, I know more. But if what I know becomes public, it won’t be good for you. I’ll leave it at this for today. Here’s my card. Call me when you decide.”
Hyungjin slid a business card across to Taekyung and stood up. Before leaving, he added, “The amount you send will determine the content of the information. Remember, starting from two million.”
Taekyung, without a word, picked up the card.
[Daebak Real Estate Agency, Manager Choi Hyungjin]He tucked it into a drawer and was about to leave when the office door opened again.
“Where are you going?”
“Do I have to report everything to you?”
Kyuwon, looking worried, entered.
Taekyung retorted nonchalantly and tried to leave, but Kyuwon quickly grabbed his arm.
“What’s wrong?”
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him
