“!”
Yeonju’s eyes widened in surprise.
How could Jinwook be here…
Yeonju had never mentioned coming here, and at the moment, she was busy with work at the company.
Yeonju, Kyungok, and Daehan couldn’t hide their confusion at his unexpected appearance.
“Oh, no… How could you be here, Brother-in-law…”
Stammered Kyungok in bewilderment. Jinwook glared at her with a cold, piercing gaze.
“Is this how you always treat Yeonju?”
“Ah, no. It seems like you’re misunderstanding…”
“How much?”
Jinwook’s voice grew stronger.
“How much have you paid for Yeonju’s mother’s medical bills until now?”
Releasing Kyungok’s hand, Jinwook stared coldly at both of them.
“I will repay that money. Tell me the amount, including the costs you’ve incurred for Yeonju. I’ll cover everything.”
“…”
“But, before that, I need to receive the money I lent.”
Jinwook took an envelope from his suit jacket and handed it to Daehan.
“This is a statement of the investment funds I’ve provided so far.”
Daehan’s hands trembled as he received the envelope.
“I’ve been lenient about the repayment period for the investment funds, considering my wife. However, it seems unnecessary now.”
A chilling tone echoed towards them, sending shivers down their spines.
“Now that you are no longer part of Yeonju’s family, there’s no reason for me to keep helping you.”
Daehan’s face reflected contemplation at Jinwook’s words.
“No… Brother-in-law… How can you suddenly have such a large amount of money…”
“Even if I sell my house and company, it’s more than enough, isn’t it?”
Kyungok, standing nearby, also intervened in shock.
“Wait… calm down. Brother-in-law, it’s no different from telling us to kneel on the street.”
“I don’t think so.”
Jinwook’s indifferent expression remained unchanged despite their desperate gazes.
“Now that you are nothing to Yeonju, I see no reason to help you.”
Their pleading eyes didn’t affect Jinwook’s cold demeanor.
“Be aware that a seizure notice will be coming soon as the debt repayment period has long passed.”
Kyungok grabbed his arm, speaking urgently.
“No… Brother-in-law, please listen to us.”
In an instant, Jinwook’s gaze sharpened as he looked down at her. With an icy tone, he said,
“To be honest, I’m barely holding back the desire to repay you exactly as you treated Yeonju.”
From the moment he saw Yeonju’s hair being grabbed, all rationality had vanished. Gripping and regripping the lost rationality, he managed to bring it to a stop.
Shocked by Jinwook’s newfound coldness, Kyungok released her hand from his arm. Jinwook said to them,
“I will do everything in my power to remove Yeonju from your family registry.”
“…”
“If you have anything to say in the future, speak through a lawyer. Don’t ever appear in front of Yeonju again.”
A look of disdain met her face.
“With your filthy mouths.”
A cold statement followed.
“Don’t address me as Brother-in-law.”
Jinwook held Yeonju’s hand and walked towards the car.
Jinwook looked at Yeonju’s face from the passenger seat. Her hair, once grabbed by Kyungok, was now in disarray, and her complexion was filled with darkness.
Jinwook asked with a concerned look.
“Are you okay?”
“…”
“Are there any injuries?”
Yeonju silently pursed her lips. Jinwook waited for her, and after some time, Yeonju slowly spoke.
“… How did you find out?”
“The driver told me. He said to contact me if you went to your parents’ house.”
“…”
Jinwook had explicitly asked the driver to inform him if Yeonju visited Kyungok’s house. When he received a text today while heading to Kyungok’s house from work, he came straight here.
Upon arrival, Jinwook felt as if his blood was boiling when he saw the scene. Kyungok was gripping Yeonju’s hair, shaking it wildly.
He couldn’t bear it; he was too angry.
How could she endure so much to the point where she couldn’t even resist the old man’s hand?
After all that, why did she come to meet these people alone?
Looking at Yeonju’s tangled hair, Jinwook spoke with a sympathetic yet angry tone.
“I told you. If you have to go, let’s go together.”
“…”
“Why are you trying to handle everything alone?”
Yeonju clenched her fist on her knee and said,
“It’s our family matter… I thought… it’s a problem I have to solve.”
“…”
“And…”
Above all, she didn’t want to show Jinwook this side of her.
Growing up in that household without receiving proper treatment as a human,
that there wasn’t a single person in that family who truly loved her,
she didn’t want to make him see her tarnished past and the ugly faces of those people.
Especially the scene of Kyungok tearing out her hair… she really didn’t want him to see that.
Unable to continue, Yeonju bit her lips tightly.
Seeing her like that, Jinwook reached out to her. His large hand gently covered the tightly clenched fist.
“I’ve consulted a lawyer in advance about the defamation lawsuit.”
“…”
“Ending a family relationship is not an easy thing. But it’s not impossible either.”
Jinwook looked deeply into her eyes and said,
