The room was engulfed in shock. Everyone stared with widened eyes, unable to contain their astonishment.
“Oh my! Unbelievable!”
“This can’t be! How could such a…!”
The person most shocked was Hongseok. With his lower jaw trembling, he asked Inhyuk.
“Is that… true?”
“Yes. It’s true.”
Inhyuk gathered himself and calmly continued.
“The claim of going on a business trip today was false. Instead, I went to see the gynecologist my wife is consulting.”
Inhyuk had been suspicious since Chaelin mentioned her pregnancy. Having only been intimate with Chaelin a handful of times during their marriage, pregnancy was statistically improbable.
Could it be that she’s pregnant with another man’s child?
He initially thought so. However, as time passed, he observed Chaelin’s anxiety and noticed her secret communications with someone.
Inhyuk discreetly investigated Chaelin and discovered her elaborate plan.
“My wife had been building a close relationship with that doctor through the connections of my uncle, who runs the hospital. He created a false medical report stating she got pregnant with his help three months ago. Then, he tampered with someone else’s medical records to make it look like hers.”
Inhyuk looked at Chaelin with emotionless eyes.
“Later, she planned to either treat it as a miscarriage due to excessive stress or procure a child through a courier service.”
Chaelin, who had been kneeling, clenched her fists, her tear-streaked face quivering.
All her plans had crumbled. Moreover, Inhyuk revealing this was something she hadn’t anticipated.
Tears streamed down her face due to the overwhelming betrayal and anger.
Instead of regret, she felt unjustly treated.
Not only her attempt to get pregnant before Yeonju, not only her plan to eliminate Yeonju’s child, all these actions were not solely for her benefit.
She had worked hard for Inhyuk’s future, and she couldn’t comprehend why he was turning against her.
Inhyuk approached Chaelin and, with a cold gaze, said, “Even with desires, there are things you can do and things you should never do.”
“…”
“I don’t want a position obtained by going this far.”
His composed voice pierced her ears.
“You’ve crossed the line.”
“…”
“Before witnessing an even more repugnant end, it’s right to end it here.”
Hongseok closed his eyes tightly. He had sincerely hoped, especially for a legitimate grandchild, but that hope vanished in an instant.
With a disappointed gaze, he said, “I can’t forgive this no matter what.”
He stared at Chaelin with cold, resolute eyes.
“As of today, you are the only granddaughter-in-law I have.”
A firm voice echoed.
“Never appear in front of us again.”
“Divorce?”
Yeonju questioned Jinwook with disbelief in her eyes.
Jinwook, seated at the dining table, sipped his tea before putting down the cup and spoke.
“Yeah. It seems we won’t have an amicable divorce; it looks like it’s going to court.”
“…”
Yeonju was left speechless by the bewildering news.
A little while ago, Jinwook had mentioned that Chaelin and Inhyuk were getting a divorce. No matter how much she thought about it, it didn’t make sense. Yeonju, who was in the kitchen, hurriedly approached Jinwook. Looking down at him, she said,
“No, divorcing at this time. Brother, you’re pregnant now.”
Even though divorces have become more common these days, divorcing while pregnant is by no means an easy matter. Chaelin, who seemed so happy to have the child she wanted so much, suddenly getting a divorce…
As Yeonju looked at him, seemingly unable to understand, Jinwook took a deep breath before saying,
“The claim of being pregnant was a lie.”
“!!”
Yeonju’s mouth hung open.
“Really?”
“Yeah. She insisted she was pregnant, showing me a forged diagnosis and ultrasound pictures.”
“…No… Why would she do such a thing…”
“She was anxious because the pregnancy was delayed. Or maybe she was driven by the desire to secure her share first, putting off the later consequences.”
In the midst of shock, Yeonju said,
“Even so… How could you tell such a lie?”
“I told you. She’s a strange woman. I knew she might cause trouble at some point, but I never expected something like this.”
“Then… Are you getting a divorce because of this?”
In response to Yeonju’s question, Jinwook took a sip of his tea.
He couldn’t honestly tell her the other reason why Chaelin was getting divorced.
If Yeonju knew that Chaelin had tried to get rid of her child, the shock she would experience would be too great.
So, intentionally, Yeonju wasn’t brought to today’s gathering place. She strongly urged the family not to tell Yeonju the truth today. She wanted to hear only good stories and have positive thoughts. She would do whatever it took to prevent anything that would hurt her.
Jinwook calmly mentioned another reason Chaelin was being driven away without revealing the hidden truth.
“Yeah. Deceiving and causing harm to too many people. Even if I were my brother, I would get a divorce.”
“…”
Yeonju’s expression darkened. Looking at her sunken face, Jinwook asked,
