Although he had already met with the senior from the planning company yesterday and secured a supporting role in exchange for investment, he didn’t want to disclose more details by rushing it.
So, he ignored the message and entered his office.
He was infuriated by Chairman Baek’s sudden betrayal, but he couldn’t do anything about it. Still, his anger was directed more towards Seorin than Chairman Baek.
Moreover, now that he had become the competitor in an unreasonable project, how could he possibly make sense of this grim situation?
Was that why, as he was leaving the chairman’s office, the last words from Chairman Jo, who had coldly scanned his surroundings and passed by, still lingered in his mind.
“By any means necessary, make sure…”
That was it, just the latter part, “By any means necessary, make sure…”
“Ha, the Pharaoh project against Sungwon…”
There was a vast difference in scale, like a fight between a fox and a tiger.
However, if he could only succeed in that bid, it would be a two-birds-one-stone situation for Minhyeong.
If Seorin loses in a fight where the outcome is already clear, not only will her position within Sungwon be shaken, but he will also earn unlimited trust from Chairman Jo.
The problem is that Baek Seorin is not an easy opponent, as she is known for her unyielding nature even in the hotel industry.
There’s only one way to break her.
“We need to… shake her mentality.”
He was back to square one. It was the only method he could currently employ to disrupt the relationship between Taejoon and Seorin.
Eventually, he picked up his phone again.
“Yeah. Jiwon. Oh, brother. Ah, I see! Got it! Who am I! So, Jiwon… Let’s move as quickly as possible. Today, if possible, right now.”
On the way home.
In the car, Seorin was flipping through files, listening to a report from Director Park.
“Huh Kyungjun… Well, as I mentioned, the detective who handled Chairman Kang’s mother’s case, he had some skills. There wasn’t anything particularly eye-catching in the contents.”
“Is that so?”
“Yes. However, this may not be of significant importance…”
Director Park hesitates in his words. There may not be any noticeable content, but there must be a reason for his hesitation.
“What is it?”
“Well, you see… Huh Kyungjun also handled Chairman Kang’s mother’s case. Of course, you may have already known.”
Seorin, who was flipping through the file, was taken aback for a moment. She didn’t know at all, and it was something she had never expected.
“He… did?”
“Yes. It seems like it was because the incidents occurred in the same jurisdiction.”
It was a reasonable explanation. In reality, it didn’t seem to have much significance.
However, last night, Taejoon seemed to have more on his mind after meeting Huh Kyungjun. He mentioned that a new witness had appeared, not mentioned in the report.
It had been too long ago for Seorin to remember that witness, but Taejoon assured her that he would do thorough research before meeting the witness.
Should Taejoon handle it skillfully?
While thinking that way, an uneasy feeling persisted.
It felt like clouds were gathering. From the cloudy sky, it seemed like rain would soon fall, and thunder and lightning would strike.
“I’ve arrived. Mr. Kang is waiting over there. It looks like he’s about to go somewhere.”
Upon hearing Director Park’s words, Seorin turned her gaze. She could now see Taejoon just emerging from the entrance with a phone in his hand, almost as if it were a lie. Then, as if on cue, her own phone rang.
Seorin chose not to answer the call and got out of the car.
Meeting her gaze, Taejoon, who had been walking while talking on the phone, stopped with a smile.
“We’ve just run into each other. I was about to call you.”
“Yeah, I was on my way in.”
After Director Park greeted them and left, Taejoon spoke again.
“I’m going to meet Go Yeonghee today.”
“Already?”
“Yeah, there’s no reason to delay. We confirmed their identity, and it’s solid. Right now, they work as a nurse, but before that, they worked at your place for about three months. It seems they quit before the incident happened, so they weren’t on the list of witnesses or persons of interest.”
“Oh, really? But what kind of crucial testimony can someone who left before the incident provide?”
“I know, it’s strange. Anyway, I’m going to meet them and find out.”
“Sure, it’s a good idea to hear what they have to say. By the way, did you manage to contact that butler?”
“Oh, yes, that person. Well, it seems they don’t want to meet. They said they already told the police everything they needed to at that time.”
“I see. That’s too bad. Still, it would be good to hear it directly.”
“It’s not good memories, and I don’t want to force someone who doesn’t want to meet. I can’t willingly subject someone else to painful memories just because I want to.”
Seo Rin nodded.
“I’ll be back.”
He gave her a brief kiss on the forehead and turned away. Seo Rin couldn’t take her eyes off him until his car disappeared.
For some reason, his back looked strangely poignant today.
When yandere male lead believes she loves him — but she never did
“How dare you!”
“How dare you make me love you, only to cast me aside as nothing more than a friend?!?
“I will never accept that.”
“I will never let you return to him.”
“Even if I have to burn myself to ashes.”
“Even if I must shatter my purity, my dignity, my very soul.”
“I will never let you escape me!”
This was the first novel that introduced me to the matriarchal genre. I’ve read it three times already!
At first, the male lead despised the female lead. Later, he misunderstood that she liked him, so he condescendingly and reluctantly reciprocated her feelings.
Then, he suddenly discovered that she was kind to everyone in the same way, and there was already someone she cherished in her heart, and that person was not him.
The male lead couldn’t believe it, he became angry and crazy. He was determined to capture her body and heart by any means necessary.
