Arriving in Beijing earlier than expected, Tae Joon parked his car in the parking lot and opened the file that So Dam had uploaded.

The content, which he had instructed to investigate Director Kim Se Jin right after hanging up the call with Seo Rin, had now been uploaded.

Like her, Tae Joon was also puzzled by Director Kim’s sudden approach. It was even more so because the following day was the temporary shareholder’s meeting.

Why did he want to see Seo Rin? Was there a twist?

Moreover, he was the man who had silently attended the final banquet hosted by Chairman Baek that day.

No matter how much he thought about it, there was only one answer.

He wanted to switch sides belatedly.

The problem was,

“Why… though.”

He couldn’t find a valid reason.

Tae Joon began to understand Director Kim based on objective information, downloading the file onto his tablet and scrolling through it.

Despite the haste, quite a lot of information about Director Kim Se Jin had been detailed and organized.

First of all, Director Kim was thoroughly Chairman Baek’s man. He had entered Sungwon through his connection with Chairman Baek, had been there for a long time, and had risen to the executive position. He was the oldest director among the executives and was on the verge of mandatory retirement.

There was no particular trouble within the company. Of course, the young Director Hwang had taken over Chairman Baek’s trust as he rose, but he was a person who only had two years left until mandatory retirement, and he seemed to have no regrets other than keeping his current position.

Why would such a person want to switch sides now?

It was definitely not with good intentions.

So he checked Director Kim’s financial status. But as expected of a former bank executive, his finances seemed quite solid due to very stable investments.

In other words, there was nothing for him to regret. He couldn’t understand why such a man would suddenly take a reckless gamble.

What could he gain from Seo Rin after turning his back on Chairman Baek, to whom he had pledged undying loyalty all this while?

Something that wasn’t with Chairman Baek but was with Seo Rin.

He had to find it.

Tae Joon called So Dam again. He couldn’t draw a suitable conclusion with the uploaded material alone.

“Hey. By any chance, do you have any other material about Director Kim?”

[Hmm. I did investigate his family relationships, I’ll send it to you now.]

“Family relationships?”

[Yes. He has a son who was raised with great care by his wife.]

“How do you know Secretary Shin was raised with great care?”

[You can tell by the fact that he always went there to meet his son at least twice a year while sending his son to study abroad and throughout his company life. The couple lived as geese parents for quite a long time during their son’s overseas study. Isn’t that tantamount to both parents betting their lives on their son?]

“That doesn’t mean the child grows up well.”

[But this house did farm their child well. He grew up well, that son. He’s handsome and had a superfast promotion at the company he’s working at now, they must be so proud.]

While listening to So Dam’s voice, the file was uploaded. The moment he opened the file, the first thing that popped up was a fullscreen identification photo of Director Kim’s son.

“Wow. Why did you enlarge the photo so much?”

[Oh, sorry. I meant to reduce it……]

“You must have looked at it enlarged again.”

After hanging up the call with So Dam, who didn’t particularly deny it, he skimmed through the file about Director Kim’s family relationships.

“Something that isn’t with Chairman Baek but is with Seo Rin……”

What could that be?

Tae Joon thought for a while and suddenly, an idea crossed his mind. He scrolled back up to the identification photo of Director Kim’s impressive son.

“Son….”

Seo Rin may have seemed cold and detached, but she was a woman overflowing with qualities anywhere she was placed.

Jae Won, who had everything from ability, wealth, to beauty a triple threat.

Any parent with a successful son would naturally desire a worthy daughterinlaw.

Even if she was pushed out by Chairman Baek due to unfortunate circumstances, it was only stepping back from company management. Her wealth, ability, and beauty were not diminished.

Now he was certain.

Director Kim was trying to deal with Seo Rin through his son’s marriage.

“How dare…. he goes after my woman?”

Like a pathetic old man!

He couldn’t sit in the car and wait any longer.

He got out of the car, cursing under his breath.

“Never…. that can’t happen!”

Director Kim picked up his phone to call his son.

He thought that even though Seo Rin had a cold expression now, she would change her mind when she saw his son.

His son was that impressive. He wouldn’t fall short even in a chaebol family.

However, no matter how impressive a son was, unless the parents were from a royal family, there was a clear limit to how much higher they could climb.
