Kijoo read the letter left by Park Museong along with his will. Even though she had already reported to the press, she felt more satisfied as she read it.
The atrocious acts committed by Chairman Song against his business partner Park Museong were detailed, not to mention the threats made to friendly figures as needed. It also described the way he expanded business by leeching onto politicians.
Indeed, humans are most honest before they die.
Thinking such thoughts, Kijoo took her eyes off the letter. Instead, she looked at her laptop. The chat logs she had with Skylark were becoming increasingly blurry.
skylark: I acknowledge your achievements. We’ll meet soon.
It seemed like praise, but there was a biting remark following. It seemed that Ikwan had been meticulously reporting on the impromptu actions she had taken.
She understood. That was Ikwan’s job.
To investigate, most likely. Well, she had already prepared herself long ago.
Leaning back with her hands clasped behind her head, Kijoo felt that everything was falling into place.
But why does it feel so uneasy? Like it’s not completely over.
Reviewing each of the past events one by one, she couldn’t find anything problematic. Shaking off the uneasy feeling, Kijoo stood up from her seat.
She walked out of the annex and followed the stones set at regular intervals. Opening the main entrance, she entered and went up to the living room, where Haman greeted her.
“You’re here?”
“Yes.”
“But what should we do? It seems like she’s still asleep. She seemed restless last night, like she couldn’t sleep.”
Haman gestured worryingly towards the upstairs. Kijoo nodded and stepped up the stairs.
She knocked on the door of her firmly closed room. No sound came from inside.
Kijoo cautiously opened the door. At the end of the room, the wide bed was bulging unevenly. She went inside and approached. Eunchae, with a contorted expression, was sweating and shivering as if having a bad dream.
What could be so frightening?
Kijoo’s gaze, as she gently wiped the sweat off Eunchae’s forehead with her thumb, sank.
The world was in an uproar over allegations of bribery by politicians.
It wasn’t just any figure; it was Representative Han Jichang, a powerful presidential candidate. The sponsor was D1 Group, a well-known conglomerate with influence both domestically and internationally.
The public was angry, and the media poured out articles fanning that anger minute by minute.
Recently, D1 Group, which had seen a significant drop in new employee recruitment rates, was already facing criticism, and the controversy intensified when Chairman Song Myunghwan, who was planning to escape abroad on an early morning flight, was caught by the police.
The head of a conglomerate trying to escape overseas.
The prosecution announced that they would conduct a public investigation, conscious of public attention, and D1 Group hired 12 attorneys from a large law firm to defend Chairman Song Myunghwan.
Among them was Ido, who, a month ago, transitioned from being a chief judge to a high-paying law firm attorney. People openly pointed out that he seemed to be aiming for preferential treatment. It was a vicious cycle.
Amidst the clamor, Eunchae visited Chairman Song Myunghwan in prison. Whenever she came to apologize with tears, he arrogantly appeared with a stiff neck.
As always, Eunchae sat with a straight posture and looked at the chairman.
“I knew you would come.”
The chairman arrogantly sat, meeting her gaze.
“I’ll get straight to the point. Why is your mother’s dress in the study? In the secret safe, no less.”
Chairman Song Myunghwan chuckled.
“What’s that blood for?”
“…….”
“What’s the meaning of showing me that?”
Chairman Song Myunghwan clasped his hands and leaned forward.
“You can guess roughly, can’t you?”
“… What do you mean?”
“Your mother knew about it. About that incident. But she kept it well hidden.”
Shocked by his words, Eunchae’s face turned pale.
“In simple terms, she was an accomplice.”
Eunchae, almost breathless, couldn’t even blink.
If the blood on the cardigan…
“You and I have been on the same boat for a long time.”
A splitting headache came. However, in front of Chairman Song Myunghwan, she didn’t want to collapse and bit her lip, enduring it.
“Are you crazy enough to pretend your mother didn’t know about it?”
“…….”
“If you insist, I can’t help it.”
“…….”
“Not a confidant. Your mother won’t rest in peace even after death.”
Confidant.
Eunchae had a vacant expression. Just at that moment, she heard that the visiting time was over. Chairman Song Myunghwan stood up confidently. Without saying goodbye, he turned and left.
Kijoo’s weakness was Kang Hyeran. As her real mother, she was a woman that Kijoo horribly cherished. So she wouldn’t make hasty judgments.
Chairman Song Myunghwan finally smiled. The political sponsorship issue was only a matter of time. Eventually, it would sink beneath the surface.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
