“Marry me instead of Kwon Seungjoo. Then, I’ll take everything he has.”

Yejin clenched her fist and stared silently at Kwon Seunghyun.

If Kwon Seungjoo had a sharp and arrogant charm, this man had a different kind of charm. How should she put it? Behind the sweetly smiling face, there seemed to be something ominous hidden.

That appealed to Yejin. As she had told Eunseo, she liked ambitious men.

He was good-looking, excellent at night, and had charm. However, deciding to marry based solely on that was not something she could do.

“I want to be the chairman’s wife at Daewon Group.”

Seunghyun chuckled and responded.

“Everyone knows whose favor our father is in, including you, Ms. Yejin.”

Right. Rumors were spreading in the business world that Chairman Kwon of Daewon Group intended to disinherit his biological children and make a concubine’s child the successor.

Seungjoo had honestly revealed this to Yejin from the first time they met. He wanted to marry a woman who would thoroughly support him in his position, considering the possibility of being pushed out of the successor position.

“So, if Ms. Yejin could help a little, it wouldn’t be difficult for me to become the successor.”

Yejin clenched her fist and pondered seriously.

“…”

Since Chairman Kwon’s favor was with his younger son, Seunghyun, if she could support him, the possibility of him inheriting Daewon Group would overwhelmingly increase.

Even though Taesung Group was slightly larger than Daewon Group in scale, she had three older brothers. No matter how much she was the youngest daughter receiving affection, the issue of succession was different. Eventually, what she would receive would probably be limited to the Taesung apparel division, where she was currently a manager.

However, if her marriage partner became the chairman of Daewon Group, it was practically a surplus condition for her.

Above all, Yejin was a person who didn’t like others and wasn’t liked by others. Although she had decided to marry Seungjoo to extract revenge and separate him from that woman, if she could take revenge in another way, she didn’t need to marry a man whose heart was elsewhere.

In that sense, rather than the disliked Seungjoo, she much preferred Seunghyun, who treated her like a princess.

The only thing that bothered her was that he was a man rumored to be a concubine’s child. However, Yejin was not the type to be concerned about others’ eyes. Ironically, what bothered her more than being a concubine was the person named Jiyeonhwa.

“When it comes to my mother, it’s unusual. I don’t feel confident with a mother-in-law like you.” Yejin exaggeratedly raised both hands.
“Our mother, she’s not ordinary, but she’s blindly devoted to her people. If I marry, Miss Yejin will also be our mother’s person. Will she even take care of what’s in your mouth?”

“Hmph.”

When Yejin snorted, Seunghyun made a promise.

“If you’re genuinely worried, let’s do this. If by any chance our mother clashes with Miss Yejin, I’ll thoroughly stand by Miss Yejin’s side.”

“Really?”

Being a wife meant doing what the husband said. As long as the husband is on my side, if only…

Yejin mentally weighed her brothers on both sides of the scale. The scale was so tight that it didn’t tilt to one side immediately.

Well, there’s no need to choose one right away.

“Then let’s meet first.”

Smiling as if reaching a conclusion, Seunghyun laughed.

“Now then. What would you like for breakfast, princess?”

Not just in words, but also with a tray, treating her like a princess, Seunghyun’s mannerisms suited Yejin’s taste.

“…With you.”

After putting out the cigarette and whispering in her ear, Seunghyun smiled and embraced Yejin.

Christmas day. Yeonhwa was receiving a report from her secretary at her home.

“What? Grand Hotel Présidential Suite? Two million won for one night?”

Shocked after hearing about her son’s actions overnight, Yeonhwa was amazed. That two million won might be money that she couldn’t spend even if she shopped endlessly, but a hotel was different. Since he couldn’t have stayed alone, he must have been with a woman. Spending so much on a room for just one night didn’t sit well with her.

“This boy, what if Father finds out… Who the hell is the woman?”

But the secretary seemed somewhat cheerful.

“Don’t be surprised, Madam.”

At the secretary’s whispered words, Yeonhwa forgot to breathe.

“What? Is that for real?”

“I’m sure.”

After being in a daze for a while, Yeonhwa nodded her head vigorously.

“The problem is that it’s only two million won now? I should spend at least two hundred million for one night, ah.”

Her heart pounded wildly. It was Taesung Group’s Woo Yejin!

Woo Yejin, in addition to being Yeonhwa’s daughter-in-law, had the prime land of Shinhyeon-dong Factory that Chairman Kwon was eyeing for her son. In other words, the princess holding a first-class ticket for the heir. Although she didn’t know exactly what kind of relationship it was, her son, who ingeniously entangled himself, was impressive.

The good news didn’t stop there.
