Perhaps the hunter has no deep emotions for the prey. Having chosen the target from the start, one simply aims, shoots, and enjoys. However, if the hunters fail in their hunt, the venom of missed opportunity brings bitterness.

Yeo-jeong felt the same way, and having to continuously see So-yeon as her niece-in-law was irritating to the core. However, another presence that sharply scratched her nerves was right in front of her.

Goo Won-hu openly appeared at the engagement ceremony, arm in arm with Yeo Do-soon and a warm fist bump, then sat facing them at the same table.

Although she was pretty, Yeo Do-soon seemed uninterested in marriage. Yeo-jeong’s patience with her as a daughter-in-law had reached its limit.

Moreover, conscious of the eyes and ears of the people gathered here, she had to maintain dignity as much as possible. Yeo-jeong’s feelings were bubbling up as if her insides were about to burst.

These things, now!

“Whew… It’s driving me crazy, really!”

Yeo-jeong sighed to herself, expressing her dissatisfaction, and Chairman Goo asked, “What’s wrong again?”

“Well, it’s just a sound that came out because I felt frustrated. Please don’t pay attention.”

“Do you think I don’t know your personality? If there’s something you don’t like, you say it, right?”

“If you know, then be quiet! I’m enduring the burning sensation right now!”

“Anyway, you’re picky…”

Chairman Goo, who let out a sigh, shifted his gaze from Yeo-jeong to Yeo Do-soon.

“This girl is the second daughter of Congresswoman Yeo. I knew she had two daughters, but it would have been nice if she had told me in advance that the two were dating. Then this awkward situation with her older sister wouldn’t have happened.”

“Honey, that’s already in the past, why bring it up now? Ask this girl about her alma mater and major.”
Though Do-soon seemed to be listening, Cha Yeo-jeong intentionally avoided direct conversation. It felt awkward to mix words with someone she didn’t like for no apparent reason.

“I’m from the S University New Media Department.”

“If it’s the New Media Department, you should be in the media sector. If you work at our Won-hu company, then what…”

When Do-soon answered straightforwardly, Yeo-jeong quickly asked with an expression of sudden approval. It was quite surprising that, despite her major being secondary, she was a top graduate from a prestigious university.

“Excuse me.”

A little distance away, Um So-yeon was greeting the elders with Tae-seo-jun. Pointing with her finger in that direction, Do-soon spoke nonchalantly.

“I work as Um So-yeon’s manager.”

…!

Oh, my goodness!

Cha Yeo-jeong’s impression crumpled instantly.

Now Yeo-jeong understood why Congresswoman Yeo, from the House of Representatives, had only showcased her first daughter, a renowned pianist, and treated the second daughter as if she didn’t exist. Now that she realized the connection with Um So-yeon, even that alone was enough to make her feel dizzy.

“Huh, you’re her manager?”

When Yeo-jeong, astonished, asked again, Won-hu replied.

“I’m the team leader now, Mother. I’m doing quite well at the company.”

Do-soon was recently promoted from manager to team leader. As the number of personnel supporting the rapidly rising Um So-yeon increased, Do-soon became the manager responsible for overseeing them all.

When Yeo-jeong, still baffled, asked for Do-soon’s response, Won-hu stepped in and answered.

“I understand you might be disappointed. I earn enough to eat well, Mother.”

“Mother…?”

Not even allowing their relationship, Yeo-jeong was already wondering who this audacious girl, digging into her family like a seamstress, was.

“What? Mother?”

“Why, I’m not a grandmother yet.”

“Ha, Ha, Grandmother?”

Goodness gracious!

Yeo-jeong, whose blood pressure had skyrocketed, finally grabbed the back of her neck.

Phew!

At that moment, Won-hu let out a small laugh. It seemed as though he had anticipated Yeo-soon’s reaction to Do-soon’s audacious personality.

“Eat slowly… I didn’t know you liked cake so much.”

Won-hu poured another glass, wiped the whipped cream on Do-soon’s nose with a tissue before she could realize what was happening.

“What difference does it make if you know? Will you buy me cake every day?”

“It’s an obvious thing.”

“Oh, really? Then a chocolate cake for me!”

“Huh, understood.”

Watching the seemingly uninterested woman and her son happily chatting, Yeo-jeong couldn’t believe what she was witnessing. She was too astounded. She was so infuriated that her reason and dignity were severed.

“What on earth are you doing!”

When Yeo-jeong suddenly shouted, Won-hu calmly replied.

“I have to take care of the person I’m going to marry. Who else will take care of her?”

“Huh…!”

They talk too much!
Could she have felt the limit of her patience? Cha Yeo-jeong, pressing her throbbing forehead with her fingers, forcefully pushed her chair back and stood up.

“Honey, I simply can’t bear it anymore because of this headache! Let’s go home quickly!”

In her life, she had never encountered such an unpredictable and willful girl. Even if she was the wife of a respected congresswoman, Yeo-do-soon was unacceptable.

Above all, Yeo-jeong knew one thing.

If she let someone like this become her daughter-in-law, it would undoubtedly ruin her reputation.
