“Father is very sparing with words, so I can’t know everything, but it seems like Father thinks there is someone behind Mr. Jinwoo’s accident.”
Jinmyeong just listened without nodding.
“But what could be behind it? It was a traffic accident… Even if there is something, it’s such an old incident. I’m worried that investigating it will be a burden for Jaeho. His shoulders are heavy enough even without that.”
Jinmyeong’s expression grew darker.
“I… I don’t know. If there’s any injustice in Mr. Jinwoo’s death, it’s right to clarify, but I don’t want my son to go through a hard time again.”
“…”
“Please help, Sister-in-law. Talk to Father and help Jaeho stop the investigation. He seems like he can’t sleep properly these days. He doesn’t seem like himself.”
“How could Father…?”
Not hearing the muttered sigh, Mijeong spoke a few more words about Jaeho. When she visited yesterday, there was no color in his face. He didn’t seem to be eating well, and he had lost too much weight.
Jinmyeong, who had been alone in the study even after Mijeong left, seemed to understand the reason for Jaeho’s frequent visits these days. What did he want to confirm by asking Jaeho to investigate his father’s death? And what meaning does it have now?
At that time, even the eyewitness who first witnessed the accident, the paramedics, the police, and the car mechanic, all said it was a simple traffic accident. The only one who shouted for a reinvestigation was Jinmyeong.
However, no one took Jinmyeong, who was a high school student at the time, seriously. Ihuntae was the same. Jinmyeong, who shouted about his big brother’s injustice alone, eventually gave up and turned his back on the world.
Surprisingly, when Jinmyeong closed his mouth, peace came. One person’s death was forgotten faster than expected, and the remaining people quickly regained their positions. A harmonious little brother’s family, a healthy mother at that time, and a father who succeeded in various businesses one after another. They couldn’t help but appear as a seemingly perfect family.
In the end, it was peace as long as he kept his mouth shut.
The accident was buried like that.
What kind of change in his father’s emotions had occurred?
With an anxious expression, Jinmyeong opened the deepest drawer in the study and took out a small recorder. Even if the battery was dead or it didn’t turn on, it would surely work normally if he replaced it.
It was evidence that only he had in the world.

On one of the coldest days this year, as reported on the news, a case unfolded. Hamo, the suspect in the 13 years ago, who was released without charges, had turned himself in.
Dajeong, having lunch with Gyungmi at the restaurant, looked up from her numb gaze at the TV.
The prosecution, having obtained a confession of receiving someone’s fortune, stated that they would disclose more details through further investigation. Citizens who remembered the incident praised the news as a welcome development.
“What, what is all this talk about? Dajeong…?”
The news quickly shifted to the upcoming temporary shareholders’ meeting of Taemyung Group. Taemyung was still in turmoil. The news emphasized the management dispute and the unstable stock prices, comparing and analyzing the management abilities of Lee Jinhyuk and Lee Jaeho, offering a brief outlook on their future.
Dajeong stirred the soup several times and eventually put down the spoon.
“Let’s go, Unni.”
The fire incident and Jaeho were just stories outside of reality.
However, she briefly thought of her father’s face, who would have been happier than anyone else at the news that the culprit had been caught. Although it was hard to imagine him smiling, she thought he would have smiled brightly for this moment. If only he were still alive… It would have been good.
In the end, does karma really exist?
The sinner has been caught. Well, he got caught.
For a moment, she closed her eyes, seeing the wishes of many bereaved families who had longed for this moment.
Now, she was not curious anymore about why someone received a fortune and set fire. It was a fortunate event considering the deceased. May the grudge of her brother be eased even a little.
And she thought of Jaeho’s bruised face as he casually got out of the car to enter the building.
I created that. Knowing well that he couldn’t eat or sleep properly, I turned away from the man in despair. I said all the cruel words I could.
“Today… is my last shift. Dajeong.”
“Yeah.”
“Why are you suddenly quitting…”
On the way to the hospital after lunchtime, Dajeong thought of the man who waited in front of the traffic light every day.
His difficulties would be temporary. Taemyung’s crisis would be overcome with the power of Samhoo Industries, and the man would surely secure his position as the successor. The promises between companies would be more critical than the man’s will, and in the end, a magnificent engagement and marriage would be laid out for him.
Well… that’s it.
Male lead first thought she played hard to get, only to realize she
really disliked him

*
At first he thought she was just using the trick of feigning indifference to attract his attention. Later, he learned that she truly despised him.
This dealt a heavy blow to Jiang Mingyue, and he vowed to make her, like everyone else, fall at his feet in worship!
