No evidence of misconduct in the bidding process was found, and Cha, who had sighed in relief, was once again caught in a controversy involving the Woosung Foundation.
Articles related to Seo Jiman and Kim Seojung were once again in the headlines, bringing up allegations of irregularities in the hiring process at Woosung Foundation a few years ago. Each media outlet poured out news continuously, uncovering the scandal.
Chairman Cha eventually summoned Soon-rye to the company.
“Soon-rye.”
Chairman Cha called his younger sister’s name.
Soon-rye raised her head, looking anxiously at her brother. She had no words to say in the situation where her wrongdoings were exposed one by one by the media.
“You’ve aged a lot too.”
However, there was not a single wrinkle on Soon-rye’s face, thanks to the power of medicine.
“Soon-rye.”
Chairman Cha called Soon-rye again. There was a moment of silence.
Because both parents passed away early, Chairman Cha took responsibility for raising and marrying his 5-year-old younger sister. However, his sister, who was like his own child, became a widow at a young age, making him pity her.
So unexpectedly, Chairman Cha had always been lenient with Soon-rye. But now, he could no longer overlook her actions.
The wrongdoings Soon-rye had committed had gone beyond what he could tolerate. Woo Sung, who had been making a comeback, fell back into disgrace due to the scandal involving Woosung Foundation.
Whether Seo Jiman’s power was still intact or not, unexpectedly, it seemed that Woo Sung was turning the tables.
“Keep your hands off the school affairs.”
“Oppa, but…”
Soon-rye began to speak, but she closed her mouth when she saw Chairman Cha’s cold expression, which was different from usual.
It was only then that Soon-rye realized how far she had come. She should have been more careful. However, as in everything, it was difficult not to cross the line, especially when it came to money.
“Well, just our kids, then…”
Soon-rye’s son, daughter, and son-in-law all worked at the school. She had to protect at least her children. Chairman Cha, as their uncle, thought he couldn’t push his own children away.
“I understand.”
Chairman Cha nodded. Once again, Chairman Cha couldn’t be too harsh on Soon-rye.
“Just leave.”
Under Chairman Cha’s firm expression, Soon-rye couldn’t say anything more and had no choice but to leave. She considered it fortunate that he didn’t reject her own children.
That was the extent of Chairman Cha’s consideration.
“So, are you telling me to go in there?”
Seo Jung was shocked.
“You’re talking about the worst-case scenario. The worst!”
However, Ji-man avoided looking at Seo Jung’s fierce expression.
“Is your power only that much?”
“It’s nothing but a murderer teacher. How do I stop him? Why did you tell him to kill? Honestly, tell me. Don’t you have some weakness that got firmly caught?”
Seo Jung’s eyes, stung by Ji-man’s words, shook severely. Ji-man showed a triumphant smile.
He didn’t care about Seo Jung’s flaws or weaknesses. If that could shut Seo Jung up, he didn’t mind at all.
“The situation is not good now. Even if things go wrong, I have to survive to see the situation and make you my scapegoat.”
Ji-man had barely suppressed the bribery suspicion. While crawling flat even to insignificant things.
But now, in the midst of this, if it became known that he had mobilized gangsters to get rid of Yoo Byeong-gyu, it would be the end.
The problem was that the investigation into the unlicensed personnel incident caused by Eugene two years ago had entered a reexamination, and with the added hospital riot incident, the lawyer said it would be difficult to avoid imprisonment.
The problem was how to reduce the sentence as much as possible or drag out the probation, and for that, Ji-man had to remain.
Misfortune came one after another, rushing in without a break. It seemed more than a coincidence; a series of events appeared to be planned by someone.
A few days later.
As if on top of that, other victims who gained courage from Park Cheon-soo’s complaints of mistreatment also emerged.
They claimed to have suffered even for minor mistakes. People who were physically assaulted by Eugene included not only the employees working at her brother’s house but also salon and department store staff where Eugene frequented.
Even videos surfaced. One video showed Eugene shaking an older-looking woman by the collar, and another video showed Kim Seojung crumpling a magazine and hitting an older-looking man.
On television, news about the mother and daughter’s abusive behavior poured in daily, and figures from various fields appeared to raise awareness about abuse.
Especially, they testified about the child abuse Yun experienced in that house during her early years. They willingly participated in interviews, and the media quickly turned their stories into news.
Male lead is a Destined Young Husband (Female-dominant)
One-sentence summary: Wife-master, listen to my explanation!
Li Ruantang, a young lady from a prestigious family, stumbled and fell. When she woke up, she saw a noble and beautiful young man sitting by her bedside, wiping away tears.
The young master had slightly reddened eyes, and his every move exuded charm.
The sight made Li Ruantang’s eyes hot and her heart flutter. After all, she had made a bet with the young master Meng from the neighboring family. If she couldn’t marry a husband before the end of the year, she would have to admit defeat and give up the jade she had worked so hard to obtain.
Outside the window, the flowers were in full bloom.
Rather than losing the bet, the jade, and her face, Li Ruantang calculated that it would be better to seek marriage with the young master in front of her, killing three birds with one stone.
…
Meng Jun never thought that an accident during a spring outing would lead to them rolling down a cliff and into a river, yet still survive.
Now they were trapped in an unknown village, and Meng Jun had overheard that the family who had rescued them had their own intentions.
After all, it was Li Ruantang who had lost her mind and sought marriage first. He was only trying to protect himself!
Glancing at Li Ruantang, who was listing her own merits, the young husband’s voice softened, and he blushed as he lied, “W-wife-master, Wife-master, don’t you remember me?”
The young husband’s voice was clear and handsome, coaxing Li Ruantang’s heart to be soft and sweet, and she spared no effort to protect him.
It wasn’t until they returned to the capital that Li Ruantang suddenly remembered.
When they had fallen off the cliff, in order not to implicate Wei Yunruo, whom he secretly admired, the young husband had instead pulled her, who was slightly farther away, down the cliff with him…
Short summary by Yuushi L: Initially, the male lead (ML) liked another girl, while the female lead (FL) liked the ML. Both fell off a cliff. The FL temporarily lost her memory, and the ML, fearing others might take advantage of him, claimed FL was his wife while they were staying in a village. Later, when they returned home, the FL regained her memories and remembered that the ML liked someone else, so she kept her distance from him. However, during their time living together in the countryside, the ML’s view of the FL had completely changed. From this point, his pursuit of the FL begins.
