Having learned quite a bit from the clumsy rookie Haeyeon, she reported to Deputy Lee Sojeong.

“Senior, I’ve completed the task.”

Today, Haeyeon was assigned the task of visiting each branch in Seoul based on consumer research results, identifying and improving areas with low satisfaction scores.

She worked diligently from the morning and, skipping lunch, she was finally able to finish the areas of Gangdong and Gangseo.

[You finished the work already? Did you really work without even having lunch?]

“Ahaha.”

Faced with Sojeong’s sharp question, Haeyeon could only respond with an awkward laugh.

Sojeong sighed deeply at Haeyeon’s unending passion.

[Oh, you’re saying let’s eat and live, so take it easy without overworking yourself.]

“Understood, Senior.”

Listening to the affectionate scolding, Haeyeon finished work for the day.

Since today’s tasks were relatively demanding, and with the permission of Team Leader Seol Yujun, who allowed her to leave as soon as external work was completed, Haeyeon, who finished early, did not head home but turned her car elsewhere. It was Daechi-dong.

Arriving at her family’s main residence, Haeyeon got out of the car and looked around.

There was no sign of any cars in front of the mansion walls, and President Yoon was naturally not inside but outside. Even without any specific work, he was not the type to stay at home.

That’s why Haeyeon chose this time.

Of course, even if she couldn’t hide the fact that she came, at least she could feel more comfortable wandering around the house.

The inheritance incident had simply become Haeyeon slipping on the stairs by accident. They had called 119, but not the police, because President Yoon was there.

Naturally, it was because of President Yoon’s influence.

The only people who were walking around the house at the time were the housemaids. Unfortunately, the two were not present at the scene, and the remaining personnel were either waiting elsewhere or managing security at the front entrance.

“Hello.”

“Has the young madam come?”

The person Haeyeon greeted was someone who had worked at this mansion for quite some time.

Following Lee Yoonho’s instructions, all the staff working there at the time had been changed, but due to the replacement, they might not be of much help.

After exchanging greetings with the security guard, Haeyeon entered the house.

“Welcome, young madam.”

The housemaid, who had been replaced two months ago, greeted Haeyeon. After the greeting, Haeyeon engaged in casual conversation.

“Is the education director not here?”

“Yes, madam. Shall I prepare some tea for you?”

“No, thank you. I came because I have something to check in the young lady’s room.”

The excuse had been prepared in advance, aligning with the fact that Dohui would be leaving for the United States.

I see. I’ll inform her accordingly, new sister.

After saying goodbye to the housemaid, Haeyeon headed towards the second-floor staircase.

Seeing the wooden staircase, her fists involuntarily clenched, and her heart pounded. Calming her mind, Haeyeon looked around once more, searching for anything she might have missed during Choi Doha and Dohui’s birthday party.

As Doha and Dohui mentioned, there were certainly CCTV cameras inside, but unfortunately, there was no camera illuminating the staircase.

Presumably, that’s why Han Yoonseo committed the crime.
Haeyeon went upstairs and entered Dohui’s room, lost in thought.

There was nothing she could immediately find inside the house.

Even if there were CCTV cameras she might have missed, the footage would be stored separately on the security room’s computer, and President Yoon would likely have blocked any access. There was no way to check.

‘I need to find those people.’

Ms. Choi and Ms. Kim. Even if they didn’t know anything, they might have small clues.

Their movements were being tracked by Doha, so she was waiting for them.

Leaving Dohui’s room, Haeyeon went back down the stairs, scanning the living room. At the end of the stairs, she noticed a large cabinet.

It was a collection of small artworks collected by Cha Kijung, but a thought suddenly occurred to her.

‘That time…’

Even if it was an unrelated incident, she decided she would ask the two housemaids when she found them.

Haeyeon left the main residence and sent a text to Doha.

[I’m going into the house now.]

Within 30 seconds of sending the message, she received a call from Doha.

Even though Doha would likely be working at the company at this hour, Haeyeon couldn’t help but smile at the quick response.

[Was everything okay in Daeji-dong?]

She had informed Doha in advance that she would be going to the main residence today. They had promised not to keep such things secret anymore.

“Yes, nothing happened. Is there a problem?”

[Don’t be too anxious.]

“Okay, I won’t be.”

Rushing could backfire and lead to trouble with President Yoon, as Doha rightly pointed out.

However, Haeyeon still felt stifled.
