“As I please.”
Juwha was astonished at Summer’s response.
“No, you can’t. Stop it.”
“I already passed the interview and worked today.”
“Jeong Yeoreum, did you forget the terms of the contract?”
“I haven’t forgotten the contract. And it’s not something to get upset about. Chairman, please understand the situation properly.”
A stir spread among the employees.
Everyone present here already knew about Summer’s situation.
But daring to tell Chairman Kang Juwha, the ruler of all, to understand the situation properly!
The young woman seemed to lose courage the more you looked at her.
“What did you just say?”
Sure enough, flames sparked in Juwha’s eyes.
Summer smiled brightly and said, “I didn’t say I’d unseal the evidence I have yet.”
The sound of saliva going down the employees’ throats was unusually loud.
With her long legs crossed to the other side, Juwha asked, “Are you threatening me now?”
“Yes.”
The employees’ throats got even lumpier.
The Cinderella heiress, as if breaking everyone’s imagination at once, shattered the executives’ mental images.
Beyond shock, everyone stared at her in awe.
“You, do you have a very bad habit?”
“Yes. I learned it all from you, Chairman.”
Juwha’s brow furrowed.
“Are you trying to take advantage of the chance to harass the disliked daughter-in-law? But now that chance has finally come, and you’ve caught it. You used money to threaten the daughter-in-law and granddaughter, separated parents and children, and now freely wield the granddaughter’s life. But now it’s my turn. So I just caught it the way Chairman does. I’m smart, and I learn quickly.”
A chilling wind seemed to sweep through the living room.
People clenched their hearts once again.
This was by no means a conversation between a grandmother and granddaughter.
It was like a knife dance wielded against the enemy.
In the tension that it might cut wrongly, bodies involuntarily cowered.
“The part-time job is until 3 p.m. on weekdays. And if you respect my part-time job, I’ll cover this case too. Sealed. What will you do?”
Juwha had an irritated expression, but she eventually replied.
“Got it.”
Short breaths echoed throughout the living room.
As if they had just crossed an ice sheet, everyone wiped their chests.
Once the situation was over, Summer’s gaze turned to Jeongmi and Haeun.
“What are you two doing?”
The two women looked perplexed and glanced at Summer.
“Apologize, won’t you?”
Faces twisted in confusion.
Summer said, “If you don’t like it that much, you don’t have to. But I won’t seal the information of Grandmother and Grand Aunt. It’s okay to open it to the world, right?”
When Summer tried to get up, Jeongmi and Haeun hastily shouted.
“Oh, okay! Bow! We should apologize!”
Pretending to lose, Summer sat back down on the chair.
Jeongmi and Haeun were visibly upset, unsure of what to do, but given the circumstances, Summer approached and stood in front of them.
“…Sorry.”
“Yeah, sorry.”
Following Haeun, Jeongmi spoke in a small voice, “Is this your idea of an apology?”
“What?”
“Chairman. Should I also casually seal this matter without sincerity?”
Looking at the smiling Summer, Juwha spoke in a cold voice, “Straighten up.”
The faces of the two women twisted, but reluctantly, they knelt and sat down.
A stir spread among the employees once again.
“…Sorry. We really messed up.”
Forcing their heads down, the two women clenched their fists tightly in frustration.
“That’s right, you really messed up. Do better from now on.”
The two women exerted themselves to calm their trembling bodies.
At that moment, Summer spoke loudly, “Team Leader Yang. Lawyer Cho.”
“Oh, yes!”
Surprised, the two lawyers hurriedly approached Summer.
“What are you doing? Aren’t you taking verification photos?”
“Oh, right!”
The two lawyers began to take pictures of Haeun and Jeongmi, who were kneeling on the floor, with their phone cameras.
They felt embarrassed by the public display.
Inpyo and Sofia glared at Summer as if they could kill her.
“Good for tabloid headlines, isn’t it?”
A little later, looking at the photos of the two women that arrived on the phone, Summer lightly murmured, “Well, now that everything seems to be settled, I’ll be going up.”
Juwha, as if questioning, said, “You seem to think you’ve won?”
Summer turned back.
“Don’t misunderstand.”
“Misunderstanding?”
“Yeah. Know that I allowed you today. If I really decided, I could kill you without anyone knowing.”
“Is that so?”
“Right. Remember that I let it slide today. If I had really made up my mind, I could kill you without anyone knowing.”
“Fine.”
“Keep that in mind. What Chairman can do, Jeongyeoreum can do anytime.”
Summer smiled even brighter, looking at Juwha, whose brow had furrowed.
