In a space that was not solemn enough, the quarrel between a man and a woman continued incessantly.
“I can’t divorce even if I die, so do you understand that?!”
Seonyeong declared with a sharp voice. Of course, those words wouldn’t be accepted by Chairman Oh.
“Why did this woman come to interfere in men’s business, even going so far as to barge in like this?! Will you refuse to stamp it obediently? Huh! Fine, let’s go through the lawsuit then!”
Chairman Oh shouted angrily.
Seonyeong felt her stomach burn. She had pleaded, made a scene, and even threatened, but it seemed that Yeongam was determined, showing no signs of relenting.
He used to be a gentleman who always listened to my words without a fuss. Now that he comes out like this, it feels like dealing with a completely different person.
Seonyeong shifted her posture and appealed to him with sympathy.
“Chairman, no, honey! Please think about our Hyeona a bit. Will you?”
“That inadequate girl, how many times do I have to say she’s not my child?! Come to think of it, is she really my child?!”
“What’s this? This man has nothing sensible to say anymore. Why? Are you suggesting we do a genetic test or something?”
“There’s nothing he can’t do!”
At this point, it’s just about to hit the fan. Seoyeong grabbed Chairman Oh’s collar and shook him.
“Hey, you damn human! How can you do this to me? I dedicated my beautiful youth to you, and now what? What did you do to me? This human!”
“What did I do? I let you live lavishly your whole life! You should know how to appreciate it, you woman!”
“Ha! Unbelievable! You give me a cheap foundation that’s not even worth the money and act like you’re doing something?”
“What? Cheap? Have you said everything you wanted to say?!”
“I haven’t said everything! Save our Hyeona! Save my daughter!”
With a determination that had been driven to the edge, Seoyeong blurted out in frustration. At that moment, from somewhere, a calm voice echoed.
“I bought that cheap foundation.”
Even the secretaries couldn’t easily intervene in the space where someone abruptly entered, and that person was Chairman Park Jong-soon. When she appeared, both the couple gasped in surprise.
Chairman Oh, who had been shaken by Seoyeong’s collar and pushed her away, greeted Chairman Park eagerly.
“Chairman. What brings you here?”
“What brings me here? Even if I told you to show your face once, you wouldn’t, so I had to come here in person. So, what’s wrong?”
Throwing sharp words packed with bones, Chairman Park slowly walked and sat on the sofa. Chairman Oh, who bowed deeply, looked embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.
“Chairman, really. I’ve been absent-minded lately… I’m sorry.”
“That talk is annoying. If it’s not about my Myeonghee, you’re flattering me because I’m an old man with a pretty face.”
Myeonghee, in other words, Chairman Oh’s real wife and essentially like a sister to Chairman Park, grew up in the same hometown. Thanks to Chairman Park’s mediation, they had even lived together like a real family for a while.
Therefore, it was only natural to call Chairman Park an individual who couldn’t be flattered by betraying the woman who was like a sister. Despite that, Chairman Park had embraced them, leaving the wife and mother positions vacant for a long time, thanks to Myeonghee’s will or request.
Seeing Chairman Oh, who was shaken by Seoyeong’s collar, rejecting her hand and rushing out to meet Chairman Park, the couple greeted her with a gasp.
“Chairman. What brought you here?”
“What brought me here? Even if I told you to show your face once, you wouldn’t, so I had to come here in person. So, what’s wrong?”
Throwing sharp words packed with bones, Chairman Park slowly walked and sat on the sofa. Chairman Oh, who bowed deeply, looked embarrassed and didn’t know what to do.
“Chairman, really. I’ve been absent-minded lately… I’m sorry.”
“That talk is annoying. If it’s not about my Myeonghee, you’re flattering me because I’m an old man with a pretty face.”
Myeonghee, in other words, Chairman Oh’s real wife and essentially like a sister to Chairman Park, grew up in the same hometown. Thanks to Chairman
“Don’t go! Why should I go?! Even if I committed a crime, Hyuna is your daughter! Where in the world is a father who sends his own daughter to jail?!”
“Well, she committed a crime; what do you want me to do about it?”
As if about to explode, Chairman Oh struck his chest forcefully. They had repeated the same conversation dozens of times, and it ultimately led nowhere.
“It doesn’t matter how! Whether it’s begging or throwing money, we have to find a way to get her out!!”
“Stop forcing it, woman! Is this the result of someone who thinks about their child like this?!”
“Wasn’t it supposed to be done well?! It was supposed to be done well!”
“You woman! Even with the chairman present, can’t you stop?! Aren’t you ashamed?!”
Watching Chairman Oh stubbornly maintain his position, Chairman Park couldn’t help but feel at a loss.
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.
