“Ugh, Mother, I’m really upset. We were engaged to be married in the fall, but that woman ruined everything.”
Hyuna, who seemed to have been holding it in, poured out her grievances while shedding tears. Watching her pitifully, Sungja tightly held her hand.
“Oh, Miss, don’t cry. Why be sad?”
Just then, Sungja, who was about to hear the end of the world, was very surprised.
“Ah, Miss. I’m really sorry. We were engaged to be married in the fall, but that woman ruined everything.”
As if she had been waiting for the right moment, Hyuna wiped her tears and complained. Seeing that, Sungja, who was looking at her sympathetically, tightly held her hand.
“Oh, dear, Miss. Don’t cry. Why be sad?”
The two exchanged affectionate glances. Seonyoung took advantage of the opportunity to intervene.
“Madam, you also know. How strong and responsible our Mr. Cha is, right? But that woman is holding onto him as if she’s going to raise the child. What can we do? He’s being manipulated and swayed because of her.”
“You know. You know very well. It’s not just because he’s my son, but because our Junghyuk takes after my husband, not only in looks but also in how strong his sense of responsibility is.”
“Mother, what should I do? I’m really upset. Sob.”
“Oh my, our daughter-in-law is pitiful. That fox-like woman! Just watch. Don’t worry, dear. I’ll find a way to separate our Junghyuk from that old hag, no matter what. Okay?”
Thinking that things were going well as expected, Seonyoung let out a sigh of relief.
Chairman Park also didn’t want to get involved in this blood-stained matter, but it was impossible for him and his daughter to get blood on their hands. If they rashly intervened and ended up being out of favor with Junghyuk, only Hyuna would get another layer of fur stuck on her. Who would want that?
It seemed that Naseongja was the perfect candidate for this situation.
With a clear relationship and sufficient justification to intervene, there was no need to doubt her, and she was proactive, making her a perfect disposable pawn.
Seonyoung, who saw things going smoothly as planned, took out the items she had prepared.
“Madam. Since we haven’t had a chance to greet you properly, I’ve prepared something.”
Seeing the luxury handbag inside the large shopping bag, Sungja couldn’t close her mouth.
“Oh my, in this world… I wonder if it’s okay for me to accept something like this.”
“What does it matter? Still, you’re the mother of our Mr. Cha, so you should have some strength when going out.”
As Seonyoung spoke, she opened the entrance of the luxury handbag. Inside was a wad of cash. Seeing the bundle, Sungja’s mouth spread into a wide smile.
“Our son-in-law has a refreshing personality too. Hey, dear. Trust and wait for this cute thing. Handling fox-like creatures is my specialty. Hoho.”
The time when Dohjoon returned home from work was well past 9 PM.
Entering the bathroom, washing away the day’s sweat and dust, Dohjoon felt thirsty and headed to the refrigerator.
After taking out a bottle of water from the fridge and gulping it down, his eyes were suddenly fixed on the empty bookshelf and the stacked boxes in front of it. It was a box of books that hadn’t been touched for over a month since moving out.
At first, he couldn’t organize them because there was no bookshelf, and after the bookshelf was set up, he left the boxes untouched due to being busy.
Oh, he sighed and pondered for a moment. Everything was bothersome, but should he do it now or wait until later?
Ignoring the rebellion of his tired body, Dohjoon eventually brought the box in front of the bookshelf.
Filling the lower compartment of the bookshelf with substantial professional books, he carefully displayed the precious figures he had cherished in the upper compartment.
After roughly laying out the items, he finally placed the dark black figure carefully, as if it were a precious gem.
When it was first released, the selling price was roughly in the mid-200,000 won range. But now, it was being traded at ten times that amount with a premium.
It became a rare item, one of only a thousand in the world, due to a judgment error that assumed the villain would be unpopular worldwide.
Dohjoon brought the Dark Black figure to bed and buried his body in it. Looking at it, a face naturally came to mind.
Lost in thought, he opened the phone screen. There were several messages, but they were all work-related.
Suddenly, a strange thought crossed his mind. Today was noticeably different from the pattern of the past few weeks.
He usually went on dates with Sookyung mainly on weekends, and making plans involved contacting her on Fridays. And she was always the one taking the lead.
Dohjoon checked the time. It was Friday, and it was already past 10:30 PM. But why hadn’t he heard from her?
Dohjoon’s gaze went to the closet doorknob. Sookyung’s gifted suit was hanging on the doorknob, bag after bag.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
