Names, occupations, and duration of relationships—so much information was densely packed on the papers.

What shocked him more was that there were several people she had met simultaneously while dating him, and some she had lived with.

The kind Se Ah, the most pure and beautiful, had betrayed Cha Min Woo.

It was unbelievable.

And according to this material, it wasn’t just once or twice.

Even when they were discussing their future, just before they vanished, she had met others.

“You… what is this, Jung Se Ah! What is this?”

The papers in Min Woo’s trembling hand fell and scattered on the floor again.

Se Ah, suddenly engulfed in fear, picked up the fallen papers to read.

Then she covered her mouth with her palm and collapsed to the floor as if falling.
“This is… this is all wrong. It’s all lies! Father! I’m not that kind of woman. Please believe me! They’re all lying!”

Se Ah, trembling like a leaf, eventually burst into tears as she sat on the floor.

Min Woo, with shaking hands, picked up the scattered photos.

The photos were not taken secretly; they were selfies or taken by someone else.

In the photos, Jung Se Ah smiled brightly beside the men.

Kissing the man beside her, visiting parks, cafes, karaoke…

There were many pictures taken in various places.

The dates were clearly written, allowing comparison with the documents they had just seen.

These were more elaborate and certain than the contents Juran had personally inquired about before.

Very detailed and definite information.

“Lies? These people, once given a handful of money, readily told all about their times with you and handed over the photos. Your life doesn’t seem to have been lived with much worth. There were even your friends among them, weren’t there?”

Chairman Cha looked at Se Ah as if she were a cockroach crawling on the floor.

“I can’t blame you for the people you met before Min Woo. But how foolish must Min Woo have looked to you, for you to meet others while being with him! And not just once, but several times!”

Chairman Cha’s voice thundered through the room.

Se Ah was so startled by his voice that she started hiccupping.

“No, Father. This is… this is… hic! This is… hic!”

Suddenly, Se Ah crawled on the floor and clung to the hem of Chairman Cha’s trousers.

“Father, I love Mr. Min Woo. Everyone I met was during the times we were apart or had broken up. Please believe me! It’s really not true. It’s not!”

Se Ah sobbed and pleaded desperately.

Chairman Cha looked down at Se Ah with contempt as if looking at dirt on his shoe, then pressed something on the table.

Then a recorded voice began to play from somewhere.

[Dash] Jung Se Ah? She bragged so much about catching a big fish. She said she was going to get married, didn’t she? Hasn’t she done it yet? That girl really gets around with men, maybe it’s because she has a pretty face? The guys don’t know and chase after her thinking she’s pure. We laughed so much at that.

[Dash] That… Min Woo, or was it Man Woo? There was this guy who chased after Se Ah like crazy in college, and she mocked him behind his back. She called him a fool who knew nothing but her. Even though he was a student, he turned around and bought her a diamond ring. Anyway, at that time Jung Se Ah was seeing another man, but she didn’t settle things with either and met both, right?
[Dash] Se Ah, she’s a total fox. She only dates men for their money, you know. But the funny thing is, despite choosing men for their money and looks, in the end, they’re all thugs or scammers. Doesn’t that show she has really low standards in life? Why am I talking about a friend this way? Oh, we’re not close. She’s just a leech. If she’s found a good man, I wish she would pay back the money she borrowed. Jung Se Ah, you said you had no money at the last gathering, but because of you, we ate an expensive brunch. Why did you dine and dash? Pay up the 50,000 won.

[Dash] Do you know what Jung Se Ah told me when I couldn’t break up with her? She said she’s met a chaebol now and wanted to break up, asking if I could spend as much on her each month… That man must be insane too. She’s a total fox. But the funny thing is, after saying we should break up, she kept coming to me for another two months. Something wasn’t right with the man she was seeing?

[Dash] Where is that girl, Jung Se Ah? I seduced her, we lived together for a while, and I even got her a job at the store, but later I found out she was stealing a little every day from our cash register.

Se Ah’s eyes widened with horror, and then she suddenly stood up and charged at Chairman Cha.

She reached out her arms as if to snatch the recorder, but Chairman Cha pushed her away forcefully, and Se Ah fell sprawling on the floor.

“Stop it! It’s all lies, all lies!”

Whether she was too overwhelmed to regain her composure, Jung Se Ah clung to Min Woo’s legs, screaming.

“Min Woo, they’re all lying about me. They’re all envious and can’t stand me, that’s why they say such things! Don’t believe them. Don’t, Min Woo, uhuhuh.”

Se Ah appeared almost out of her mind.

Min Woo simply watched the unbelievable scene in a daze.

Like an actor on TV, the weeping Jung Se Ah clinging to his legs seemed surreal.

“Let go.”

Min Woo’s eyes were unfocused, and his face bore an expression of agony.

“It can’t be. Se Ah, you…! How could you do this to me? How!”

He breathed heavily, as if in great pain, repeating the same words over and over.

It felt like his stomach was hardening into stone, and breathing became difficult.

Se Ah did not let go of his leg despite Min Woo’s words.

“You have to believe me, Min Woo. We were happy. How can you just listen to them! How can you not trust me, uhuhuh.”

Min Woo sighed deeply and forcibly detached Se Ah’s arms from his leg.

Then, without a word of farewell to Chairman Cha, he turned and left the room.

As Min Woo left her there on the floor, Se Ah collapsed and sobbed uncontrollably.

‘Wretched girl. How dare she in this place! Foolish Min Woo may be deceived, but I am not.’

Chairman Cha looked down at Se Ah with a crooked smile.

“If you have nothing more to say, I would prefer you to leave now. Miss Se Ah.”

At Chairman Cha’s words, Se Ah abruptly stopped crying and jerked her head up.
Contrary to her weeping just moments ago, she glared at him with a terrifying look.

“You, what makes you so great to treat me this way? What have I done so wrong!”

Se Ah lashed out at Chairman Cha Seung Jo with a voice filled with defiance.

Too agitated, she didn’t even use formal language.

“Didn’t you do the same to me? How ridiculous must Min Woo have looked to you for you to meet other women while seeing him? And what about you? How laughable must Madam Kim Ji Won have been for you to keep another woman in the same house you share with her? What is that, if not madness?”

As Se Ah shouted with indignant rage, Chairman Cha Seung Jo’s face turned beet red with anger.

“Even if everyone else blames me, you have no right to! Why? Because the evidence of my Min Woo is right there, born out of wedlock! Because you met me, another child born outside your marriage! And yet you dare to criticize me when you hold onto both Min Woo’s mother and Madam Kim without letting go? Don’t make me laugh!”

Se Ah’s face, spewing venom, turned paler and paler until it was almost white.

“Just you watch! I’ll make you cry and beg me. I’ll definitely make it happen! How? Curious?”

Se Ah laughed maniacally, like someone deranged.

“The grandchild in my womb will make you do it. My child will make it happen in place of their mother!”
