Han Cha Woong, who shared his intentions, also stoked his will and provided a strong support.
Min Hyuk was in the process of entering Tae Hyun Construction, planning to buy all of David Kim’s land in Korea and build a themetype resort complex.
“Shareholders, and even the chairman, won’t be able to say a word against a project with this level of guaranteed success, right? I can already hear them salivating, hyung. These lands are just too appealing.”
Good ingredients are a prerequisite for a good dish.
David Kim’s land was nothing less than the most crucial foundation in the plan Min Hyuk was drawing.
Therefore, the decision was that a connection with David Kim was absolutely necessary to gain the trust of the shareholders, establish a foundation, and acquire the immense power within the group.
The problem was David Kim.
“That bastard seems to plan on taking his land with him when he dies. He absolutely refuses to sell.”
Especially when it came to his land in Korea, he had declared that he would not give it up, no matter who proposed. Therefore, there were lands that had become more valuable, and lands that, despite being undervalued, had the potential to yield even greater profits.
In order to approach David Kim without causing him any discomfort, and naturally gain access, information was secretly gathered from beneath the surface.
They also secretly found out about David Kim’s serious health deterioration. He had received a prognosis of six months, at most a year, a fact known only to his closest associates.
Under Min Hyuk’s orders, Han Cha Woong, who had been investigating Kim, felt extremely sorry.
“It’s too bad. He lived his whole life alone without marrying, collecting money like Scrooge but not knowing the joy of spending it. In the end, he’s departing alone, without family. I heard that lately he’s been talking a lot about a woman he broke up with in Korea when he was young. He still can’t forget his first love, maybe he’s planning on leaving his entire fortune to her if she’s still alive.”
Han Cha Woong’s passing remark was not missed by Tae Min Hyuk.
“Find that woman.”
“…Huh?”
“We’re racing against time now. Find her as quickly as possible.”
Han Cha Woong ran around frantically at the abrupt order to find David Kim’s first love from decades ago. Time was pressing, so finding her was the top priority.
“Ha, Ms. Kim Hee Joo has passed away. Already 24 years ago, in a traffic accident. It’s good that we found out before David Kim, but it’s hard to hear such bad news.”
Han Cha Woong’s voice, reporting the news, was filled with regret. His eyes were brimming with tears.
“It’s too bad. She had a daughter, it seems. She never married and raised her alone, so it must have been the baby she had when she broke up with Kim. The timing suggests that.”
“A daughter?”
“Yeah, after Ms. Kim Hee Joo passed away, her daughter was sent to an orphanage without any relatives. Ah, thinking about how that little baby, without a mother or father, had to live a harsh life in an orphanage up until now….”
“Find her.”
“…Huh?”
“Her daughter, let’s find her.”
The plan was to find her daughter before David Kim, and make her one of Min Hyuk’s people.
To David Kim, who had death before his eyes, she was the daughter left behind by his first love. To Min Hyuk, she felt like an absolute talisman.
Finally, they found the daughter.
Now that they had the information, it was half a success. Min Hyuk opened the final report.
[David Kim’s daughter, Kim Min Joo.]At the very top was the name Kim Min Joo, which he had already confirmed when he received the interim report.
However,
[Current name Eun Seo Woo, age 27. Job Receptionist Working at TH Food headquarters.]Upon seeing this, Min Hyuk’s thought process came to a complete halt.
The file was crammed with her personal information, from her photograph to her address and family relationships.
“Eh, Eun Seo Woo? Eun Seo Woo?”
Han Cha Woong, who had been leaning over to look at the same time, spat out Eun Seo Woo’s name and then clamped his mouth shut.
He looked as if he was about to fall over in shock at the unbelievable reality.
Male lead fell into her trap — and shattered when she walked away
This is also on my reread list!
This one is a slow burn, but when it burns, it burns hard.
Definitely worth a read, y’all!
The story follows a thousand-year-old seductive spirit who, on a bet, sets out to charm the male lead—a once-promising but unfortunate cultivator.
But just when she succeeds in making him fall for her, she heartlessly leaves, driving him to madness.
Determined to find her at all costs, he captures her, keeping her by his side no matter what, even if she hates him.
I love this kind of trope—I enjoy watching the male lead suffer in agony.
The ending drags a bit with unnecessary filler, but that’s fine.
As long as I enjoy the beginning, I’m good.
