Your Former Wife (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 37

Jin Sung felt as if he had finally discovered his true calling—for the first time in 25 years. He wasn’t meant to be a driver; he was meant to be a detective.

“The Chairman respects her the most?”

“You probably don’t know, but about fifteen years ago, the second son of this household caused massive losses to an affiliate company due to a failed acquisition and merger. It was Madam’s natal family who stepped in to help—and for that, her contribution was highly acknowledged.”

“Ah, I see.”

The staff member then adopted a meaningful expression, as if about to reveal a secret no one else should overhear.
