“…Father, what did you just say?”
Yul-ri’s voice, shocked, trembled infinitely.
Vice Chairman Kwon falling into a coma is surprising enough, but someone intentionally causing the accident? Moreover, Minwoo being suspected as the influential figure behind it?
“Why would such a thing happen… When did this start?”
“It’s been a while. Until recently, he was in a very precarious state. It was so serious that Jeho urgently had to go to the United States.”
―I’m leaving now. I’ll get there as soon as possible.
When Yul-ri received the call at the Gangneung villa, she remembered Jeho, who looked perplexed. She couldn’t even ask what was wrong; he seemed too serious.
Was the sudden trip to the United States for this reason?
“At first, I suspected Minwoo the most, but maybe it’s not him. However, Minwoo and Vice Chairman Kwon are significant obstacles to unraveling the case. So, Minwoo had to be sent abroad.”
After a momentary pause, Congressman Chae refined his voice and continued speaking.
“Well, your words mean not just because of Yoo-ri, Minwoo was sent overseas. We had to separate Minwoo from you, Yoo-ri, and KG as well.”
“…What does that mean?”
With a voice that sank as if lost in thought, Yul-ri asked.
“Is the next target Vice President Kwon?”
Understanding the implied meaning without detailed explanation, Yul-ri’s voice became lighter from the previously heavy tone.
“Yes. We plan to oust Vice President Kwon at today’s emergency board meeting. Ten years ago, an incident that led Vice Chairman Kwon to step down. I heard evidence has been secured that Vice President Kwon is behind that.”
Yul-ri recalled the call from Vice President Kwon that came yesterday.
―Due to the emergency board meeting, it became urgent. Bring it to the office early tomorrow morning.
The reason Vice President Kwon urgently wanted the ledger was clear. The old ledger was undoubtedly evidence of Vice President Kwon’s misconduct.
Yul-ri’s heart sank for a moment.
Kwon Jeho wasn’t just entering a simple succession competition. It was to find and revenge someone who had brought his father to the brink of death.
Without knowing that…
Yul-ri turned her head to the bag holding the ledger. To remove Vice President Kwon at today’s emergency board meeting, this ledger must be present. Jeho was not on a business trip but was planning an operation to take down Vice President Kwon.
Ha, was I momentarily insane?
Yul-ri quickly started the car. No matter how angry she was at Jeho, seeking revenge in this way was not right.
“I’m sorry, Father.”
As she protected her family, so did he protect his family.
“I have to hang up now because I’m in a hurry. I’ll call you later.”
Before taking the fake ledger, she needed to present the real one.
Yul-ri drove toward Jeho’s house at full speed.
Fortunately, thanks to the clear traffic, Yul-ri could arrive earlier than expected. She grabbed her bag and rushed to the study. Everything needed to be put back in place before Jeho arrived.
The red light turned blue, and suddenly, the safe door opened.
“Gasp.”
Yul-ri’s eyes widened with astonishment as she peered inside.
The fake ledger that should have been in the safe was gone.
“What, gone again?”
When Yul-ri arrived at the company building parking lot, she received a message asking when she parked her car. As she sat down, Vice President Kwon urgently called his secretary. A little later, the secretary reported that Yul-ri had turned the car around and left the parking lot again.
“Why did you just let her go? You should have blocked her!”
“I’ll try to connect her once.”
The secretary quickly called Yul-ri. Worried about what might happen if she didn’t answer, the call connected after a few signal beeps. Without explaining why she called, she immediately got to the point.
“I’m on my way.”
“What? On your way! Hey! What time is it? Why are you talking like that before 9 am?”
Vice President Kwon shouted with a flushed face.
“You clearly said ‘early morning’ yesterday, although the exact time wasn’t specified. It’s not even 9 am yet, so it still counts as early morning.”
Unlike the excited Vice President Kwon, Yul-ri responded with a calm and composed voice.
“What?”
“What time is the emergency board meeting?”
“At 10 am.”
“Don’t worry. I’ll get there before then.”
“Are you sure you swapped the fake ledger?”
“Yes. The real one is in my bag right now.”
“Okay, hurry up and come.”
After hanging up the phone, Vice President Kwon got up from his seat and paced back and forth in his office.
Even though there was no need to be anxious, he couldn’t understand why his heart was pounding like this. Even if he had already swapped the ledgers, what Jeho had in his hands now would be fake…
Nevertheless, until he received the real one and burned it himself, his mind wouldn’t calm down.
Vice President Kwon looked at the clock on the wall with an uneasy expression.
Suddenly, the clock’s hands pointed to 8:55.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
