Younger Man at Work (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 17

In a spacious room screened off by folding panels, a large table was set, neatly laid out with a traditional Korean banquet. Around it sat about ten well-dressed middle-aged women.

This was the regular gathering of the Baekhap Society—the exclusive friendship club for wealthy conglomerate wives.

Upon Madam Choi’s introduction, Ji Yeon Hwa modestly bowed her head.

“I’m Ji Yeon Hwa. I look forward to getting along well with everyone.”

The moment she was legally declared dead, Chairman Kwon immediately registered his marriage to this woman, as if he’d been waiting all along. Not a single person in business circles—or among the general public—failed to point fingers at them in scorn.
