“My goodness. How can you be so shameless?”
The woman, folding her arms, clicked her tongue in disbelief.
She was the eldest daughterinlaw of Youngshin Mohair, a company that started with a weaving factory and flourished in fabric processing and clothing manufacturing.
“Is it because she’s a single mom? Maybe she doesn’t know what shame is.”
The Hana Tech’s madam hinted.
Her unimpressive salaryman husband’s entire fortune had been invested in a game company which struck it rich overnight, turning her life around.
Who would have guessed? The humble stocks she had diligently saved up had increased by 2000 times.
Thanks to that, she had gained control of the company and even managed to join the ranks of the mediocre nouveau riche.
“Just look at her. She’s no ordinary woman, opening her eyes wide and yelling at us to get lost.”
The divorcee daughter of Pureum Construction joined in, currently living off her family.
The president, vicepresident, and the treasurer of the parentteacher association raised their voices for a while in the principal’s office of Han Song Private Kindergarten.
Hyun Ah, quietly lifting her tea cup, merely listened with a sullen face.
She didn’t even laugh at the people who had advised her to trust only them, but then turned up infuriated because they ended up being deceived.
Clink. There was a hint of subtle irritation in the sound of the teacup being placed down.
“It’s not a laughing matter. The honor of our kindergarten is at stake here, for the sake of our children as well as for the dignity of the Chairman and myself at the foundation.”
The cold, murmuring voice of Hyun Ah was filled with artificial humility. The outspoken eldest daughterinlaw of Youngshin Mohair who had been blustering became suddenly quiet and comforted Hyun Ah.
“Oh, Principal. Don’t worry. If she’s embarrassed a few more times, won’t she voluntarily leave? Just trust us.”
“Of course, trust us. Our parentteacher association is so reliable.”
Hyun Ah, after sending off the women with a smiling face, turned around not hiding her irritation.
She had borrowed others’ hands as Sun Young instructed, but the result was evident.
In reality, Hyun Ah wasn’t much interested whether the single mother and her illegitimate child left the kindergarten or not. Her only worry was disappointing her mother for not carrying out the task well.
Even though others might sneer at her for being a mama’s girl, Hyun Ah trusted Sun Young completely. She was never wrong.
Otherwise, would I have been chosen as the marriage partner for Jung Hyuk, despite the shame of being the illegitimate daughter?
Regardless of her origins, she was the blood of Han Song Group’s Chairman, Oh Cheol Joong. She grew up without lacking anything materially.
However, there was one thing. She was never able to show her face in official events. She had to hide, she couldn’t expose herself to the world.
About a decade ago, one day, his legal wife died. They said the cause was her chronic heart disease.
As if she had been waiting, Sun Young took over the position of the lady of the Han Song family. That was also when the cage that held Hyun Ah was finally opened.
At last, she was acknowledged as the daughter of Chairman Oh Cheol Joong.
Men flocked towards her, drawn by her radiant aura and balanced features that resembled Seonyeong, all of them treating her like a princess.
Regardless of the process, it had resulted in a fairly acceptable conclusion.
Her first official event as a member of the Han Song family was the founding anniversary of Myeonghan Group.
That was where she first saw him. The golden grandson of Chairman Park. The sole heir of Myeonghan.
He stood out even among the crowd. His unique, languid atmosphere and dazzling appearance outshone even his exclusive background.
Even then, he was not much different from now. Arrogant, selfcentered, and indifferent to the world and those around him.
The heart of a tenyearold girl was pierced by the fatal and intense first impression.
Her party dress was awkward on the grass, but Hyunah kept circling around him, waiting for him to start a conversation.
When she stumbled and fell before him, stepping on the hem of her dress, she just wanted to die.
He looked down at Hyunah sprawled in front of his feet. He wasn’t surprised or worried, but he didn’t laugh either.
The embarrassment was temporary. Hyunah was secretly glad that she had fallen in front of him. She was glad that he was the man who would hold her hand and help her up.
But her expectations completely missed the mark. Instead of offering a hand, he disdainfully looked at her and leaped over her as if avoiding an obstacle, casually walking past.
Hyunah realized. Cha Jung Hyuk was the only man in the world who could disregard her so blatantly.
After that day, Hyunah made a firm resolution. She decided to marry him.
