Sitting at a luxurious wooden desk, Chairman Seol Majung was reviewing documents when his secretary’s words caught his attention.
“Did Woojin leave the house?”
“Yes. Here…”
The secretary placed a mobile phone in front of him.
Chairman Seol Majung put on his magnifying glasses and carefully examined the photos on the phone, enlarging the image with his fingers to scrutinize the woman next to his grandson.
“Isn’t that Naeun?”
“Yes. It seems to be Naeun Jung, not a housemaid.”
“A housemaid?”
“Yes. It seems this young lady comes around the time the previous housemaid, Youngmi Jo, used to come. I found out that Youngmi Jo injured her back and is currently hospitalized.”
“And this girl?”
“She’s said to be Youngmi Jo’s niece.”
“But how did she end up with him?”
“Well…”
As the secretary hesitated, Chairman Seol Majung stared at the photos again and swiftly scrolled through them. Multiple pictures showed the two of them together.
“Are they dating?”
“Well… Shall I find out how it happened? Oh, does Jihyun know? I’ll call him to come in.”
“Yes. Please do.”
Seol Majung once again enlarged the photo, this time focusing on his grandson’s face.
The face that usually carried a frown was strangely relaxed.
That face resembled his late father, hitting Seol Majung in the chest.
Come and get him!
Father, my son ran away because he doesn’t want to take the exam. Where is he? Find him and bring him back! That guy is probably hanging out at the game center instead of going to the exam site! The media will probably jump in, saying, “Look at this guy avoiding exams.” Since he’s your son, take responsibility and bring him back!
The little son who left the escape of love couldn’t bear it and returned. In front of his father, he was always conscious of his defeat.
Compared to Jihyun’s son, who was his elder brother’s child, he was superior in appearance and intelligence. However, seeing his own son, who was discriminated against because of his mixed race, his sense of defeat deepened.
Chairman Seol Majung was not unaware that his son felt that way.
Still, the unpleasant feeling did not disappear.
Always emphasizing ‘your son’ rather than Woojin’s name, he exposed Woojin’s mistake as choosing the wrong woman.
Even after driving Woojin away like that, Chairman Seol Majung, seeing his son returning as a corpse and his blind grandson trapped in a room, writhed in pain, confessing his mistakes to the heavens.
Even if the small grandson couldn’t play the role of a person, he didn’t care, thinking it was okay as long as he lived. He had no intention of openly criticizing the memorial altar for his father.
He decided that if he couldn’t come out, he would support him to live inside forever. But the boy went outside. Chairman Seol Majung thought this was some kind of miracle.
It was urgent to find out who the little child next to Woojin was, the small child standing next to Woojin, and if the appearance of that child was related.
Noticing the change in Chairman Seol Majung’s usually composed tone, the secretary quickly took out another mobile phone, sending a message to Seol Jihyun to investigate the woman.
While watching an animation with earphones plugged in, Sooyoung was startled by the pain in her back and turned around. Her mother was standing there.
However, her mother’s expression was unusual.
“Uh, Mom. When did you come?”
“…What are you doing?”
“What?”
“I said, what are you doing?”
“What do you mean?”
“Mom, I just went to Aunt’s house.”
Sooyoung remembered the expression on her mother’s face when she talked about Aunt. Did Aunt say something?
“You keep working at that house? Are you deceiving your mom and really doing this?”
Damn, Aunt said it. This woman, Aunt, a traitor…
While Sooyoung was trying to figure out what to say, Youngsoon sat on her daughter’s bed and rummaged through her large bag.
Then, she took out a passbook and handed it to her daughter.
“This is the money I saved for you when you get married. I’ll give it to you in advance.”
Sooyoung, unable to respond, just stood there with her mouth open.
She didn’t even think about accepting the passbook. Then, Youngsoon placed the passbook on her daughter’s desk and said, “Aunt said that. When your friends are dressing up nicely and going to eat delicious food with their boyfriends, you’re always at the library. She says it’s because you’re short of money. I’ll give you this money. Dress up nicely and go eat delicious food with your friends. And stop that job now.”
“Oh, no, it’s not like that.”
Aunt said that, Mom said that, and Sooyoung suddenly became aware of the problem that she wasn’t dressing up enough.
Then Youngsoon shouted abruptly. She was angrier because she felt sorry for the child.
“Then why are you reluctantly working as a housemaid? You have to find a decent job somehow. If you keep spending time in a place like that, what will happen?”
“I… I’m not a housemaid!”
“What?”
“I’m not a housemaid, I got a regular job. As a manager.”
“A manager?”

She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi.
