The Heiress in Blue (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 6
Ha Eun, having stepped out of the police station, slapped both lawyers across the face.
She had no idea how many hours she had been detained in that filthy station under the pretext of an investigation.
Furious to the tips of her hair from the first humiliation she had ever experienced in her life, Ha Eun was seething.
“Because you idiots couldn’t handle one damn bitch, I have to sit here like this? You morons!”
She screamed while pointing her finger furiously.
“Miss, please calm down. People are watching.”
Team Leader Yang spoke quietly before expressing his own pain.
Only then did Ha Eun realize people were staring and lowered her voice a little.
“Handle this matter properly this time. Make sure that fat bitch gets completely crushed.”
“Miss, the evidence is overwhelmingly clear. The best option is for you to sincerely apologize to Jeong Yeoreum and pay proper compensation.”
“What the hell did this bastard just say? Hey, why should I apologize to that fat bitch? Can’t you see she ripped out my hair? I’m never letting that bitch off the hook. So find a way—no matter what. Find a way to get rid of her! If you don’t, I’ll have all of you fired! Got it?”
She was still raging at the two lawyers when Ha Eun’s phone rang.
On the screen that the lawyers could see appeared the word “Mom.”
It was Song Jeong Mi.
“What?”
—Come up to Seoul right now.
The volume was turned up high, so the entire conversation could be heard clearly.
“Mom, I’m traveling with friends right now. I told you it would take some time.”
—Stop talking nonsense and come up. Something good has happened.
“Something good? What is it?”
A soft laugh came from the phone.
—Jeong Hyun got into an accident. They’ll be holding a funeral soon.
“Jeong Hyun? Who’s that?”
—Really, you… Who else? Your aunt’s son.
Ha Eun’s eyes widened for a moment, then a smile quickly spread across her lips.
“For real? How did it happen?”
—Traffic accident, they say. The hospital declared no chance of recovery. So hurry over. The whole family is at the hospital. I just stepped into the hallway to call you.
“But Mom, even if Jeong Jung Hyeon dies, he still has that wife and a daughter. Isn’t this actually bad for us?”
—Your aunt has neither a daughter-in-law nor a granddaughter. Those two are enemies. Jeong Hyun cut ties with his own mother to protect them.
“Even so, when her son dies, won’t Aunt’s heart soften?”
—Absolutely not. You know how much your aunt hates Jeong Hyun’s wife—more than an enemy. The granddaughter is the same. She’s not Jeong Hyun’s daughter but the enemy’s daughter. Would she have gone twenty years without seeing them otherwise? Anyway, come quickly. Oh, and when you come, remove all your makeup and wear something plain. This is the perfect chance to make a good impression on your aunt.
Ha Eun smiled brightly.
“Got it. I’m in Busan right now, but I’ll leave immediately.”
—Good.
A delighted smile filled Ha Eun’s face.
“You two, do your damn job properly.”
Ha Eun glared at the two lawyers once more, then walked back to her car.
The two lawyers simply bowed deeply.
The red sports car soon sped away from the police station.
Team Leader Yang turned his head and asked,
“Attorney Jo, are you okay?”
“…Yes.”
Attorney Jo Han was twenty-seven this year, the same age as Ha Eun.
His face was now filled with humiliation that hadn’t been there earlier.
“Forget about it.”
“But Team Leader, how is any of this our fault? The evidence is that clear.”
“I understand how you feel, Attorney Jo. But even if you quit out of wounded pride and go to another firm, it’ll be the same. All the rich ones are alike.”
He said that, yet he let out a sigh himself.
“This is really serious. Jeong Yeoreum has no intention of settling at all.”
“We still have to persuade her.”
But getting Jeong Yeoreum to settle was probably impossible.
“By the way, Team Leader, that was the first time I’ve seen someone like her.”
“What do you mean?”
“Jeong Yeoreum. She was really cool, wasn’t she? She didn’t flinch at all in front of the PR name PR Group—she was completely confident. Honestly, seeing Assistant Director Kang Ha Eun get crushed like that felt so refreshing. It was like ten-year-old constipation finally coming out.”
“You’re going to get us in big trouble talking like that.”
“Why, don’t you feel the same, Team Leader? The Kang Ha Eun who thinks she’s the best in the world couldn’t even make a peep in front of Jeong Yeoreum. It was the most satisfying moment since I joined the firm.”
Team Leader Yang let out a small laugh.
“By the way, Team Leader—is this Jeong Jung Hyeon person really our Chairwoman’s son?”
“I’ve only heard rumors; I’ve never seen him.”
“They say when the Chairwoman told him to divorce his wife, he instead gave up his position as heir to PR Group and left.”
“That’s right. They called him the romantic of the century. The crown prince of the mighty PR Group that can shake the entire business world threw it all away to live as an ordinary teacher.”
“He really is amazing. Giving up enormous wealth and power to live a normal life with the woman he loves. Cutting ties with his mother for twenty years to protect his family—especially as an only son—that’s not easy.”
“True.”
Attorney Jo suddenly sighed.
“Why the sigh?”
“I was just thinking—if someone like him had become the head of PR Group, we might be doing much more meaningful work than we are now. Right now, Representative Kang Gi Taek’s family lives with the Chairwoman and holds real power. And once Jeong Jung Hyeon passes away, won’t Executive Director Kang In Pyo, the Chairwoman’s nephew, be confirmed as the successor to PR?”
“Who knows. There’s still the granddaughter.”
“Even so, can an ordinary woman raised gently really stand up to our iron-lady Chairwoman? My legs go weak just looking at her. And could she last even a single day in that hyena den ruled by Madam Song Jeong Mi and Madam Sofia? Anyway, Kang Ha Eun is really lucky. Thanks to having one good aunt, her life is set.”
Attorney Jo sighed even deeper.
Seeing that, Team Leader Yang patted his shoulder as if to cheer him up.
“We don’t need to worry about any of that. Let’s just do our best to stop the video from spreading further and quickly persuade Jeong Yeoreum.”
“…Yes.”
*
“…Mother-in-law?”
Yeoreum couldn’t understand why her mother was calling Chairwoman Kang Ju Hwa that.
Mother-in-law?
The clicking red high heels approached the bed where Jeong Hyun lay.
She looked down for a moment at his bloodless face.
Her eyes were emotionless, almost blank.
For some reason, everyone in the hospital room held their breath.
Yeoreum couldn’t make sense of the situation at all, but overwhelmed by Chairwoman Kang Ju Hwa’s presence, she stayed silent for the moment.
“Yeoreum.”
It was Se Jin who broke the silence.
When her mother called, Yeoreum turned around.
“Say hello. This is your grandmother.”
“What?”
“She’s your biological grandmother.”
The title still didn’t feel real.
All this time she had thought both her parents were orphans—how could this woman be her grandmother?
And the Chairwoman of PR Group, no less!
Yeoreum stared at Chairwoman Kang in disbelief.
The perfectly applied red lips parted slightly.
“You raised her exactly like yourself—vulgar, barbaric, and utterly lacking manners.”
Yeoreum doubted her own ears.
Didn’t she just say this woman was her grandmother?
What kind of thing was that to say?
“Well, with your blood in her, that vulgarity had nowhere to go, did it?”
Yeoreum asked in disbelief.
“What did you just say?”
“I said you’re vulgar. Satisfied?”
“Ha, this is unbelievable. Listen, Grandmother—we’re meeting for the first time right now, aren’t we? It’s been literally one minute.”
“Yeoreum, stop it.”
Se Jin grabbed Yeoreum’s arm.
“Stop what? That grandmother is insulting you right now!”
“I said stop. I’m sorry, Mother-in-law.”
“You really raised your child well, didn’t you? And speak properly—who is your mother-in-law?”
“Hey, Grandmother!”
“Stop it! Yeoreum, stop.”
Se Jin quickly shook her head.
“She’s your grandmother. So don’t be rude.”
Though furious, Yeoreum shut her mouth at her mother’s pleading expression.
Se Jin spoke to Ju Hwa.
“I’m sorry, Mother-in-law. Please, have a seat.”
She pointed to the sofa in the middle of the room.
Ju Hwa, who had been glaring coldly at Yeoreum, walked to the head seat of the sofa, crossed her long legs, and sat down.
The people who came with her crowded around, and Se Jin stood before Ju Hwa like a sinner.
“So, let’s hear it. Why did you call me? After acting like you never wanted to see me again?”
“…Please help us, Mother-in-law.”
“Didn’t I tell you to use the right title? Seeing me after twenty years and you’ve already forgotten that too?”
At her pointed remark, Se Jin spoke again.
“Please help us, Chairwoman.”
Only then did she reply.
“Help with what?”
“Please save Jeong Hyun.”
Looking at Se Jin, she asked,
“Why should I?”
“…Chairwoman.”
“He’s the son who cut ties with me twenty years ago because he hated me. Why should I help now?”
“No matter what, Jeong Hyun is your only son.”
“That’s right, he was. My only son. And that son abandoned his mother and chose you. He didn’t contact me even once in twenty years. So why should I help you two now?”
At that moment, Se Jin fell to her knees on the floor.
“I will divorce Jeong Hyun. So please help us.”
“…Mom?”
Yeoreum looked at Se Jin in shock.
Se Jin briefly shook her head as if telling her not to interfere.
“Divorce?”
“Yes. I will divorce Jeong Hyun.”
Suddenly Ju Hwa burst into loud laughter.
The people standing behind her straightened up, tense.
“You’ve gotten better at joking in the time I haven’t seen you. Listen, Kim Se Jin—whether you divorce or not, what does that have to do with me?”
“It’s what you wanted most.”
“Of course I wanted it. But that was twenty years ago.”
“…Chairwoman.”
“To be blunt, you lived happily with Jeong Hyun for twenty years, so you’ve had more than enough. You’ll probably live the rest of your life full just on those memories. And now divorce? Listen, Kim Se Jin—you don’t have to divorce. Just keep living as you were. I’m not interested anymore. And Chief Secretary Ahn.”
The middle-aged man standing behind her quickly stepped forward.
“Did you move them to this hospital room? It doesn’t make sense with their situation. Right?”
“Yes.”
“You did something unnecessary.”
“I’m sorry.”
“No need to be. I’m not spending a single won on the people in this room. So settle it with your own money.”
“Understood.”
Her cold eyes turned back to Se Jin.
“What a pitiful end to your grand love. But what can you do—it was your choice. Well, I’ve seen enough of the show, so I’ll be going now.”
As if there was nothing left to say, Ju Hwa stood up.
Se Jin clung to her leg as she tried to leave.
“Please save him!”
“What are you doing?”
“Chairwoman, please save our Jeong Hyun!”
“Let go.”
“I was wrong! It’s all my fault! So please save Jeong Hyun.”
Se Jin broke into tears and begged.
“That man can live if you help him. Please!”
Se Jin cried so hard it seemed she might stop breathing.
But the words that came from Ju Hwa’s mouth were colder than ice.
“Then you should have let Jeong Hyun go sooner. I told you, didn’t I? You bring bad luck. Jeong Jung Hyeon is dying because of you. You devoured your husband.”
“I was wrong! It’s all my fault! So kill me and save Jeong Hyun!”
“Who is this girl telling to kill someone? Why would I become a criminal by killing the likes of you? I’m going to enjoy watching this situation.”
“Please direct all your anger at me and save Jeong Hyun. If you do just that, I’ll do anything you want! Please!”
Her icy eyes, which had been ignoring everything, looked down at Se Jin and asked,
“Anything I want?”
“Yes! I will! If the Chairwoman wants, I’ll even give my life!”
“Your life? What value does the life of someone like you have? But now that I think about it, there is one thing you could bring me.”
“What is it? I’ll give it to you!”
Ju Hwa raised her arm.
Her index finger pointed at Yeoreum, who was standing there with a stunned expression.
“That.”
“…Pardon?”
“Give me your daughter.”
“What do you…?”
“Not much—just transfer to me all rights related to that child for exactly twenty years. And you two must cut all ties with her. If you do that, I will save your husband.”
Looking at Se Jin, whose face had turned white, Ju Hwa smiled coldly.
“How about it—a pretty good deal, isn’t it?”
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
Synopsis:
Want to see how a green tea bitch male lead falls in love with the female lead?
Want to see how he flirtatiously pursues the female lead?
Want to see how he gets slapped in the face repeatedly?
The male lead is a green tea bitch, a poisonous lotus, jealous, ruthless, unscrupulous, with a venomous heart, and he’s also a delusional maniac.
The female lead is righteous, positive energy-filled, kind, a holy mother.
Let’s see how two people with extreme personalities come together~
