The Problematic Helper (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 48
“It wasn’t me who kept visiting Cheonga Park every time you were away for a month or two while you were in Paris for over a year. That person did everything. They contacted me every year saying they wanted to move it to a better place, but I turned it down each time because I knew you’d hate it.”
“At least you have a minimal conscience, seeing how you think you should do that much. Who do you think Dad died because of!”
“It wasn’t because of anyone; your father passed away from illness, and if your mother has made efforts without missing a single year since then, hasn’t the punishment been enough? She always comes alone and sits there for over two hours before leaving.”
“So what? Are you telling me now to call her ‘Mom’? No, forget it!! Tell her to move it back right now. Tell her to return it to that woman, back to how it was originally!”
Lee Seol’s voice grew louder with added stubbornness.
As if adding more would do no good, Jung Hyuk stood up from his seat.
“You didn’t get here all by yourself. The company, our staff, including me, and even the people supporting you behind the scenes without you knowing—if you add them all up, you’ve reached this point with the help of countless people you don’t even know.”
“Are you trying to take credit now?”
Even though he knew it was pointless provocation,
And even though he knew her longing for her mother had turned into resentment like that, sometimes Jung Hyuk couldn’t understand Lee Seol, who didn’t even try to understand.
“There might be someone else involved in that help. You didn’t achieve it all alone; even if they only gave birth, parents are still parents!! Even if it’s not visible, the way of giving love or seeking forgiveness is different for everyone.”
The hollow eyes looking up at Jung Hyuk shook mercilessly.
Is this all?
Is there more, that I’ve received help from that woman besides this?
“I’ll say it clearly: I agreed to it. So just let it go this time. Instead, I’ll tell her not to send side dishes anymore. Rest.”

The Male lead Always Seduces Her with His Beauty (Matriarchy)
Xin Jiao Zhou is the leader of the world’s premier sect. She has just experienced betrayal from all sides, was poisoned in an assassination attempt, and faced death squad attacks while the poison was taking effect. After finally clearing out the scum from her sect, she was drugged again while trying to detoxify.
After waking up from a night of unconsciousness, she gained a “beautiful and kind-hearted” husband.
Xin Jiao Zhou: “???”
He fell ill.
She came to see him, bringing breakfast.
As she put down the breakfast and was about to leave, his hand slipped while holding the spoon. “Clank!”
She turned around upon hearing the noise.
He looked up at her, his eyebrows drooping: “My hand… has no strength.”
“Shall I… feed you?” she asked tentatively.
He opened his mouth cheerfully: “Ah—”
Thinking she was drowning, he jumped in without hesitation to save her, but nearly drowned himself. In the end, it was she who swam over to rescue him, giving him air underwater.
After emerging from the water, his ear tips turned red. He lightly brushed his cheek, tucking his sideburns behind his ear, revealing delicate, pink-tinged ear tips. He lowered his gaze, too embarrassed to look at her.
Xin Jiao Zhou: He’s truly beautiful, kind-hearted, and adorable.
A certain someone when disciplining subordinates behind the scenes: “If they don’t obey, just kill them.”
What’s that? She might already have someone she cares about in her heart? A certain someone: Find out who it is, kill them, and then there won’t be anyone.
What? She met a man by the riverside? What? That man even hurt her? A certain someone: Whichever hand hurt her, chop off his entire arm.
Love at first sight without realizing it, gradually falling in love, slowly getting closer…
Family and national grudges, schemes and desires, good and evil, crime and punishment, she and he face the future together, seeking justice with passion!
