If the answer comes back that he hasn’t forgotten for a single moment, that they both longed for each other ardently, even if it was only in their hearts, it would be a significant wound to each other’s current spouses.

“Excuse me.”

At that moment, Chief Kim approached Yulli and conveyed, “Congressman Chae suddenly has an urgent matter and needs to return to the office right away.” Congressman Jung gently intervened as Yulli was about to rise from her seat.

“You don’t need to go all the way, Yulli. Finish your meal and then go.”

“Yes, Congressman Chae also hoped that Yulli could stay.”

Father?

As Yulli sat back down, Chief Kim politely bowed and left the annex.

“If it’s okay, I’ll drop you off, so don’t worry.”

Congressman Jung said as he poured plum liquor into Yulli’s glass. Yulli gracefully accepted the glass with both hands, offering a courteous smile. Perhaps Congressman Jung deliberately arranged this seat for her.

Is it consideration, or is it the beginning of another scheme?

Sipping the plum liquor poured by Congressman Jung, Yulli took a slow sip. The initial taste was sweet and sour, with a bitter aftertaste, much like the subtle flavor of her current situation.

“Why are you reporting such an important fact now!”

Kwon, enraged to the core, threw the documents he had in his hand towards Nam, Minwoo’s former secretary.

Nam flinched, but he didn’t avoid the documents. The flying paper cut his cheek, causing blood to trickle. However, Nam didn’t even think about wiping the blood.
“I’m sorry. Director explicitly told me not to tell anyone.”

“Anyone? Hey? Am I just ‘anyone’? I’m that guy’s father, his father!”

Kwon, who had been investigating Congressman Chae from behind, had already discovered the fact that Minwoo had conducted a similar investigation against him.

Is that all? He also found out that he proceeded with the nearly broken marriage by threatening Congressman Chae with this and that pretext.

“Yulli was hit for more than three weeks?”

“Yes. I couldn’t get a picture, but the hospital diagnosis is here.”

Nam, the secretary, handed the hospital diagnosis taken from the file to Executive Director Kwon.

“Hmm.”

There was definitely something between Congressman Chae and Cha Yulli. Otherwise, how could he beat his own daughter to this extent! Moreover, it’s his daughter, who resembles his deceased wife so much.

“Where is Congressman Chae now?”

“He attended Congressman Jung Taehyuk’s autobiography celebration event with Cha Yulli today.”

“What? An autobiography celebration event? Pff, what are opposing politicians celebrating? Anyway, report everything that happens at the event without missing a thing. Got it?”

“Yes.”

The secretary quickly responded and hastily left the office.

Congressman Chae, who left the office with an urgent matter, for some reason, returned home earlier than Yulli.

As Yulli, heading to the study to say that Congressman Jung had given her a ride, stopped at the loud voices coming from inside.

“Dad did that to Minwoo oppa, it’s because of me!”

It was Yuri’s voice.

“Because I liked Minwoo oppa, that’s why he sent him away!”

What? Yuri likes Minwoo?

Yulli froze in her place with an unbelieving expression on her face.
