Seeing Sunhye off and heading to the hospital ward.

“Teacher!”

Yuri ran towards Hyojin, who came down from the elevator, so exhausted that her body seemed to waver.

Yonghoon, who had just finished the visit, had driven Grandma back home.

“What’s wrong? What happened?”

Just moments ago, he was in a good mood having lunch in the break room.

“I’ll take care of my brother from now on, so please leave.”

“…?”

Hyojin, who was comforting Yuri, who had just collapsed on her knees, stood up.

As expected. Where there was noise, Kangna, full of spirit, was standing confidently, fists clenched.

“What nonsense is that? If someone leaves, it should be you. Why should I leave?”

Since meeting her father in the morning, Hyojin did not speak politely.

“I told her to come.”

Jahyun stood next to her, shoulder to shoulder.

Chilly glares, unusually fierce today, were directed at Siri.

“How dare you stand next to my brother shamelessly? Do you even know why Yul’s mother died?”

Hana, held up by Jahyun, was full of spirit.

“Aunt…!”

Even though she couldn’t say anything to others, she couldn’t move a finger against her.

Yul, trapped by Jahyun’s arms, was bewildered.

“Yul, you. Do you know what’s happening now because Dad collapsed? It’s to the point where you have to step down from the CEO immediately, as his illness has been announced to the company. But in the midst of this, to have an affair in front of Hanna!”

Upon learning that Kangna had collapsed, Gang Jae-ik called an emergency personnel committee meeting.

He planned to push Kangna out on sick leave for health reasons and absorb the corporate sector’s representative into his side.

However, in the meantime, he brought up the matter of gender inversion in front of Hanna.

“Grandma…!”

Even if she couldn’t move a finger against anyone else, it was Grandma who couldn’t make a sound.

Yul, trapped by Jahyun’s arms, was wide-eyed.

“Yul, you. Don’t you know who’s responsible for this disaster now? Dad is ill, and this is the point where he has to step down from the CEO position. Meanwhile, you dare to talk about this perverted relationship in front of Hanna!”

Hanna, with a mocking laugh, looked down at Yul as if judging Hyojin.

“What are you doing? Just leave.”

Hyojin believed that doing this would save her father.

“Get a hold of yourself, Madam. Aren’t you ashamed in front of Yul?”

“What?”

Already holding back her pride, Hyojin’s lips stiffened.

“Where are you lecturing from? Our house is in this state because of whom…!”
Hyojin approached and firmly confronted the trembling Jahyun.

“What kind of mother are you, and what have you done? Do you think you can protect Dad by doing this?”

Without knowing what schemes Kang Jae-ik is plotting behind the scenes.

“Shut up. You, pretending to be on Yul’s side on the surface while meeting someone behind my back. Do I not know who you are meeting behind my back? Did you lie about going home?”

Having heard from Hanna that she had already met Jae-ik, Jahyun’s eyes sparked with flames.

At least she believed that he genuinely liked her son.

But right after he collapsed, he planned to stick to Kang Jae-ik and betray her.

“Yes, we met.”

Having grasped Jae-ik’s black intentions, which he had approached while mourning the incident of her late father, Hyojin didn’t bother to deny it.

She anticipated it, but still, the thought that her father might have been unjustly accused and passed away made her angry and, more than that, overwhelmed with grief.

Using someone’s desperate situation like this.

“What? Don’t you even know this is shameful?”

Seeing Hyojin confidently rebuff her, Jahyun was more overwhelmed and speechless.

“Do you know what Kang Jae-ik, the president, talked to me about?”

Hanna looked at Hyojin, who took out her phone from her pocket, with a surprised expression.

“What are you doing now?”

Jae-ik’s laughter-mixed voice flowed from the friction of the screen of the mobile phone.

[Dash] Anyway, Choi Kyohwan is going to be driven out of the company.

Ha, what’s this? Hanna’s eyes, which clashed with Jahyun, shook.

[Dash] Wise up and think carefully. What’s beneficial. Don’t be like a duck waiting for someone who doesn’t even remember you to wake up.

Fortunately, it was a great relief that she had turned on the recorder as an excuse to send a message to her grandmother when entering the coffee shop.

“What’s going on here?”

Jahyun, who had called Hanna to catch even a straw, trembled with betrayal.

Even though she told others to trust only her. Was this her plan, to undermine her father and deceive him with Bong Sunsaeng?

“Oh, no. Mother! You know how much I love my brother. But how can I tell my dad to abandon my brother…!”

Hanna tearfully asserted her innocence, and Hyojin really believed that her words were true.

For Kang Hanna, who uses her daughter for her own ambitions, it might be a tragedy.

“Aren’t you saying such things even after hearing this? Our Kyohaeng collapsed because of what you said, right? To your dad!”
