After meeting Mi-joo, So-min continued to feel dirty and irritated.
‘What’s so confident about having nothing!’
In So-min’s standards, it was even more unpleasant for Mi-joo, who had nothing, to act so confidently. It was because So-min felt the dignity she desired so much emanating subtly from Mi-joo.
“Having only a pretty face as your selling point.”
While unable to accept criticism of her inherent wealth, So-min scornfully examined her appearance in the mirror, effortlessly diminishing her natural beauty.
Born with a resemblance to the H.O family, she heard comments about being a ladyboy. However, through the power of medicine and surgery, she established herself with a refined and voluptuous face on her slender frame.
She looked down the neckline, observing the prominently raised chest and waistline. This, too, was a body shaped through countless consultations and simulations by a doctor.
‘It’s a body created through bone-shaving and trembling efforts.’
So-min clenched her fist.
‘Pretending to be pitiful and delicate about having nothing, acting like you can swallow up what I can’t have in one gulp.’

As she thought of Mi-joo’s unyielding attitude against her sarcasm and disdain, irritation surged within So-min.
Thinking of Si-yoon, who was infatuated with Mi-joo, claiming to love her despite the H.O group’s wealth and considering the Mi-joo she had put on her palm and molded, So-min was dumbfounded, and the thought made her blood boil.
‘I wanted it, but now that the situation has turned like this, either take it away or, if not, I should trample on the two beings who made me so miserable.’
However, attacking Si-yoon, who is intelligent and comes from a sturdy family, is difficult.
‘It’s not entirely impossible. Just grab and shake Choi Mi-joo, that’s all.’
So-min dressed up and got into her car.
‘There’s someone I’ll meet again before the attack.’
With increased combat power, So-min, even while driving, couldn’t release the frustration towards Mi-joo. While waiting at a signal, she spotted a retriever roaming the streets.
‘I was wondering what to post today, but thanks to me, you’ll become famous too, won’t you?’
So-min looked at the wandering retriever with a satisfied expression.

When So-min’s heart feels heavy and irritated, she displays her wealth and reputation, which others cannot easily follow, on social media to confirm her presence.
During such times, she had received criticism as a nouveau riche, grandpa’s girl, father’s girl, and diamond spoon.
However, the H.O Strategy Planning Office actively supported Mi-joo’s SNS activities.
“Continue your SNS activity as usual. And maybe show a little more of your charity work or good deeds periodically.”
People consumed only the image expressed on SNS without knowing So-min’s true self.
The lives of the top 1 percent, which are pretty and rich, have been envied, admired, and sometimes yearned for by people who didn’t know the reality behind it.
It seems that the image-making efforts of the Strategy Planning Office have paid off. Through SNS, So-min has gained the image of a well-educated fourth-generation chaebol, and, incidentally, H.O Group has also cultivated an image of connecting with the younger generation.
While staging scenes of helping those in need and engaging in charity, So-min successfully portrayed herself not as a lucky diamond spoon but as a kind daughter of a benevolent conglomerate. She found amusement in playing such games.
Exiting her car, So-min took out a Choco Bar from a glove box and shook it.
“Hey, cutie, come here.”
The retriever approached, wagging its tail. So-min tossed the Choco Bar in front of the dog, not caring about the fact that chocolate is a dangerous food for dogs. She only needed to capture good photos.

“Come here. We need to take pictures together. What good is it if you just take the food and eat it!”
So-min approached the retriever, took several photos of the tail-wagging retriever, and then called the police to report an abandoned dog. Originally, she should have reported it to an animal shelter, but knowing that it would take a long time for people to arrive, So-min deliberately called the police.
“I think there’s a threatening dog here that might be dangerous. Please dispatch quickly.”
After making the report, the police responded in less than three minutes.
However, the retriever was not threatening, and the subjective perception of the reporter’s potential danger could not be treated as a false report.
Anyway, the police took the retriever into the car. The retriever, entrusted to the police without resistance, wagged its tail, showing a friendly smile, as if accustomed to human touch.
“Just a moment.”
So-min couldn’t miss this moment.
“Can you take a picture for me?”
So-min asked for a commemorative photo with the retriever inside the police car. She held the busy police officer and took pictures until she got the angle and expression she wanted. Then she got off the police car.
