Lee Kyung and Nok Hyun talked around the main point, not really saying anything.
Were they telling her to figure it out herself, or what?
… Well then, let’s figure it out.
Tae In yawned lazily, as if everything was bothersome, and muttered.
“So, Seo Tae In is twentynine, the daughter of the president of Tae Gang Group and an executive. She joined the company right after graduating from S University, it took her just five years to get promoted from assistant manager to general manager, she lost her memory due to an explosion at the Hwaseong factory, and she’s currently recovering, right?”
She had inferred all this from the documents.
“……Yes, well.”
So she did look at it.
Lee Kyung shrugged her shoulders.
“Then I’ll ask my questions now.”
Tae In, who had been tapping the documents with her finger, looked up at Lee Kyung.
As the light in Tae In’s previously bright eyes grew cold, Lee Kyung flinched.
It was as if she was facing the Tae In from before she lost her memory.
Tae In, who had been staring at her as if to see into Lee Kyung’s mind, slowly opened her mouth.
“Being the secondgeneration chaebol, and a general manager at that. Unlike my sisters, I’m competent, but I’m not in a VIP ward, not even in a nursing hospital, and there’s no proper medical team.”
“……”
“I’ve had an accident, and lost my memory, but my perfectly handsome husband didn’t look sad that I couldn’t remember him, rather he looked upset that things got complicated.”
At the words pouring out from Tae In’s calm face, a chill ran down Lee Kyung’s spine.
When did she figure all that out, while blushing and talking about her ideal type?
Whether Lee Kyung was flustered or not, Tae In continued with the same expression as before.
“When considering my social status and situation, it’s clear that my family arranged this, or the interests align for a strategic marriage……”
“……”
“I wonder why a husband, who doesn’t love me, would hide me in a vacation home in Gapyeong and keep me confined?”
“This is the Gapyeong villa, huh? How did you know?” Lee Kyung’s eyes flickered nervously.
“Miss Seo Tae In, let’s say it’s protection, not confinement. And there are reasons for all of this……”
Lee Kyung trailed off, and Tae In smiled faintly, as if she had anticipated this.
“Protection… You were trying to protect me, weren’t you?”
“That’s right.”
Lee Kyung who responded, bit her lower lip slightly. She had underestimated Tae In from yesterday. She wasn’t sure how much she could tell, since she had heard nothing from her superior.
“So, it wouldn’t matter if I reported this now, would it? I trust the police more than two suspicious people.”
Tae In showed her cell phone and grinned.
Lee Kyung sprang up like a thunderbolt. Lee Kyung’s phone was in Tae In’s hand.
‘When on earth did she……!’
Lee Kyung reached out to snatch the phone from Tae In, but Tae In backed away faster and held the phone to her ear.
“Hel……”
As the call connected and Tae In opened her mouth to speak, the phone slipped from her hand.
Turning her head, Nok Hyun, who had entered the house at some point, was looking down at Tae In. Nok Hyun, who ended the call, heaved a short sigh.
“Confinement, huh……”
Nok Hyun, whose expression had grown colder than the day before, murmured lowly. Tae In’s expression slowly hardened in response.
“You say some amusing things.”
“……”
Tae In frowned at Nok Hyun’s mockery.
“Go out. As soon as you open the door, you can leave.”
Nok Hyun slightly raised his hand to indicate the door. His previously relaxed smile gradually faded.
“You said it was confinement, but you didn’t even try to leave.”
Tae In couldn’t muster the courage to open her mouth, she could only bite her innocent lips.
“You must have felt it instinctively too. That you are in danger. That you nearly got murdered. That’s why you erased your own memory.”
When scheming men desperately battle for her favor in the male harem
This one’s also on my reread list! The rivalry, scheming between the men in the imperial harem are just as intense and thrilling as in classic palace drama novels, where concubines fight to the death. Give it a read, girls! I promise you won’t be disappointed.
Synopsis:
“I am not worthy of her… but I still want to be by her side, even if only as a loyal dog…”
Those were the painful whispers of Yue Guanyi – the proud Crown Prince of the Great Qi, who was torn between deep love and a guilty conscience. Despite holding the supreme power of the Imperial Guard, he still could not forget the dark past when he was sold into a brothel.
Fate played a cruel twist when Qiu Shuzhi – a young female official who had just passed the imperial examinations with top honors – stepped into his life. She did not know that she was the one who had saved him from a tragic fate many years ago. And now, her heart was the target of pursuit for both Yue Guanyi and the powerful Empress Dowager Qin Qing.
While Yue Guanyi only dared to silently care for and protect the one he loved from afar, the Empress Dowager Qin Qing openly expressed his feelings and did not hesitate to take advantage of his power to approach Qiu Shuzhi. The covert struggle between the two most powerful forces in the imperial court began…
