However, Seunghee couldn’t even glare at the reporter. She didn’t have the mind to do so. She was busy being pushed by people all the way to the car.
Choi Jihwan, thought to have disappeared, recently had an interview with a small newspaper. Through a two-hour phone call, Jihwan revealed everything he knew, and the newspaper properly broke the exclusive news.
Unless someone watched her back, that timid person wouldn’t dare betray her in such a way. Seunghee didn’t think twice about the mastermind behind it. There was no one else but Kang Taeseo.
At first, he wouldn’t have had the courage to betray her. However, in front of Taeseo, who had evidence of the affair, Choi, the secretary, who was no more than a tiny bean in front of Taeseo, must have trembled.
In the end, he would have accepted the proposal, gone into hiding somewhere in the province, and responded to the interview at the right time.
But what use is that now?
In fact, Seunghee had no knowledge of specific employees’ wrongdoings. Although she was called the chairwoman, all the practical work was done by subordinates. So, she had no interest in what was happening outside her eyes.
But that didn’t mean she could be proud. Even if she didn’t know, it only showed her incompetence.
“Chairman Jo Daehoon of the former Hyeonyang Construction admitted all charges last night!”
“Could you please tell us something?”
Husband, Jo Daehoon. Seunghee, whose insides boiled just thinking about it, endured it with a grimace. No matter how much she thought about it, that person was the beginning of this mess. No, that’s not it. I was the problem for even approaching such a thing.
Born as the illegitimate daughter of a chaebol, she had numerous choices. Even if she just followed the path her parents chose, it would have been a flowery path. Seunghee chewed on her past when she made the worst choice. Suddenly, she remembered Yun Sae-na, who died.
She suddenly appeared one day and made Seunghee, who had no fear until then, look miserable. A confident woman who spoke boldly, laughed brightly, and was loved by everyone.
In work and love, Yun Sae-na was everywhere Seunghee looked forward to. And she chose the child over everything else at the pinnacle of her life. She had once mocked that choice.
But now she knew. Yun Sae-na must have been happy with the child while she was alive.
“Don’t push!”
“Do you have anything to say to the victims?”
“I’ll move!”
“You’re the one in charge! Does it make sense that you didn’t know?”
“Please cooperate!”
Amid the uproar where someone could slap her or twist her neck at any moment, she barely held onto her fading sanity.
According to the police investigation, it wasn’t just one or two children who were mocked by employees abusing their power. Victims continued to emerge, and all the arrows of resentment were directed at Seunghee, who trusted and assigned the work to the employee.
“Save my daughter! Save my daughter!” The cry of a woman who left her daughter, relying on an oxygen respirator to continue her life, echoed in the hospital room.
The obstinate Mojeong did not step back even in the face of the police’s obstruction. Eventually, Seunghee, who had her hair grabbed, knelt on the street with others.
Her eyes, once filled with fear, lost focus. Exhausted and collapsed, Seunghee closed her eyes beside a crying middle-aged woman.
In a mess due to the egg incident, she collapsed in front of the entire nation. The camera captured her tear-soaked cheeks perfectly.
She wasn’t a child, but a woman in her forties. Now, there was no one willing to forgive her, no matter how much she regretted and reflected.
“There’s no trash like that even among trash. Disgusting to the end, really. Oh, you’re here?”
Sanghwa, who was watching her phone, hastily put it down. Jaeeun smiled and headed to the dressing room. After suffering for two days, feeling sluggish, Taeseo suggested they go to the yoga studio together.
“It’s almost time for Sanghwa to finish work. The yoga studio is closing soon.”
“You just have to open the door.”
“Yeah…?”
“The director really said she wants to use the yoga studio. What’s the problem?”
At Taeseo’s shameless words, Jaeeun burst into laughter. Since she considered going to the yoga studio quite a while ago, she secretly welcomed the suggestion.
Jaeeun, leaving Taeseo to make a call outside for a moment, entered the yoga studio first. Wearing yoga clothes, she remembered Sanghwa’s muttering a while ago and smiled.
Sanghwa stood up urgently, putting down her phone, which she was watching. Jaeeun headed to the dressing room with a smile. The current situation in South Korea was noisy due to the mud fight between former Hyeonyang Construction Chairman Jo Daehoon and Hyeonyang Foundation Director Ji Seunghee.
Jo Daehoon, who had admitted all charges and pledged to accept legal judgment, denied only one thing when Ji Seunghee, his wife, revealed in a prosecution investigation that she was not a accomplice but only followed her husband’s orders.
Male lead is a Divorced Husband
She said to him: “Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change it!”
Liu Changning transmigrated into a female cannon fodder character in a female-dominant novel.
After reading the first half of the novel’s plot, the first thing she did upon transmigration was to divorce the Pan Jinlian-style male protagonist she had just married.
She indulged herself, pretending to be ugly and poor.
But as time passed, the way that man looked at her became more and more unusual…
Liu Changning was dumbfounded: Tell me, what makes you like me? I’ll change!
――
This lifetime, Pei Yuanshao was rejected by the same woman twice!
The first time, she drove him away. Forced by the situation, he endured the waves of anger in his heart, yielding and humbling himself.
That person lay slanted on a rocking chair, her sallow face emotionless: “If you don’t want a divorce, go cook!”
Pei Yuanshao’s face was dark and gloomy: “You!”
The second time, after the crisis in Jinling City was resolved, the new emperor sent someone to pick him up. He turned around, stammering: “I… I have to go. If you keep me…”
That person lay on the kang bed, her back to him, as if she had long anticipated this day, crisp and clear: “Goodbye!”
Pei Yuanshao was so angry his fingers trembled: “You… you!”
The mission of family and country made him restrain himself, averting his eyes and turning to leave this broken household.
Two years later, they met again. Seeing her ethereal face, his body shook like a sieve.
“She was originally a ‘she’!”
At the Qionglin Banquet, the top scholar of the imperial examination, a talented person with exceptional speech and conduct, all the unmarried young gentlemen from aristocratic families looked at her with shy and timid eyes.
The peerless imperial official Pei Yuanshao felt the anger in his heart erupt. He pointed at the woman surrounded by the crowd at the Qionglin Banquet, his thin lips slightly curled: “Little sister, I wants that person to be the wife-master of my Mingde Prince Manor.”
