Episode 87

Park Jun-ok was infuriated by that innocent gaze.

Hadn’t Bae Seo-nyeok clearly despised children!

Setting aside the fact that he was naturally someone who drew clear lines with others, he pathologically hated young children due to the messily entangled circumstances of the Bae family.

But then.

‘What’s with that devoted attention?’

The chair seems a bit hard, do you need a cushion? If you’re cold, I’ll ask them to turn up the air conditioning temperature so don’t hold back and tell me. Does the black tea suit your taste? If it’s bitter, add sugar or milk, and so on….

A babysitter? He wouldn’t even treat his own daughter like that!

The acquaintance he’d reunited with after 15 years wasn’t even in his consideration.

If only the age had matched, Park Jun-ok would have really thought that girl was Bae Seo-nyeok’s daughter.

“A child who wasn’t feeling well ate that much ice cream, of course this would happen. Does your stomach still hurt? Should we go to the hospital?”

“Mmm~.”

“You don’t want to? Alright. Then drink some more warm water.”

Even when the young child was acting spoiled, there wasn’t the slightest hint of reluctance on Bae Seo-nyeok’s face. On the contrary, his gaze toward the child became even more indulgent.

Park Jun-ok’s eyelids twitched in shock.

Was this really the third young master of the Bae family who supposedly didn’t even recognize his own parents?

She still vividly remembered the face of that thirteen-year-old boy who had coldly told her to get an abortion because she had betrayed her brother-in-law!

Park Jun-ok was on the verge of feeling wronged.

People only realize the shabbiness of their own candle when they see the warmth of another’s lantern.

Park Jun-ok, who harbored deep emotional resentment toward Bae Seo-nyeok, instinctively scrutinized Seosing-a as if observing her.

‘She looks like someone I’ve seen before.’

The child had a style similar to Twiggy, the 1960s fashion icon. Park Jun-ok, skilled in adornment, immediately recognized the touch of a professional.

A boyish haircut contrasting with a pale, delicate face, long and thick eyelashes, thin and elongated limbs.

Add to that a bright-colored halter top befitting a resort, and she looked exactly like a well-dressed marionette doll.

‘Is she also an entertainer?’

When Seosing-a, who had been leaning against Bae Seo-nyeok listlessly, made eye contact with Park Jun-ok, she shrank her neck as if frightened.

Bae Seo-nyeok immediately frowned.

“What are you doing? If you’re going to scare the child, get out.”

“Ha. What did I even do?”

Park Jun-ok burst into cold laughter. That little fox-like thing!

Mrs. Pierce, who always gave her all whether in hatred or love, didn’t underestimate someone just because they were young.

You can tell just from the bud. When she grows up, she’ll become the type of person she hates most. The kind who makes the other person the villain without lifting a finger.

And on Seosing-a’s side….

Of course, Seosing-a also had her reasons for being frightened and extremely wary.

【Due to the challenger’s great victory, all relationship information with ‘Park Jun-ok’ has been unlocked.】

【Relationship – Park Jun-ok (June Pierce), born 1969】

【Category: Society·Others (Philanthropist)】

【Potential: ☆☆☆☆☆

Destiny Power: ★★★★★

Compatibility: ☆☆☆☆☆

Relationship Level: ★★★★★】

【Natural Enemy Alert! Have you heard the saying that those who only learned how to count money but never learned how to be human are frightening? A heart made of gold doesn’t beat, and this person, overflowing with poison and money, has nothing to fear.

Perhaps even heaven favors this lioness who crawled up from the mud, as powerful fortune protects her. There’s no chance of winning unless you grasp her weakness, but ironically, the moment you grasp her weakness, the path to escape from her will disappear forever. That’s how strong her destiny power is. Just don’t become her enemy.】

Sharp-eyed Seosing-a recognized her at a glance.

It was the Korean compatriot lady who had been fighting like crazy with Father at the bus stop in front of the pier this morning.

The double-consonant sounds filled with the spirit of the nation that she had shouted were still vivid in her ears.

She had passed by without any thought then, but as soon as they faced each other directly, the dice would roll.

‘5-star destiny power but zero compatibility and 5-star relationship level!’

Was this what living, breathing terror felt like?

‘What kind of relationship do I even have with her?’

Seosing-a felt very wronged.

Anyway, this side was trying hard not to make eye contact following the examiner’s advice, but why did that lady keep glaring with some kind of grudge!

Beside her, Bae Seo-nyeok muttered indifferently.

“What’s the point of coveting jewels when you can’t even properly recognize their owner. Still no eye for quality, still reckless… people really don’t change.”

“Bae Seo-nyeok! What do you mean?”

“I mean the sapphire has already left my hands. If you want it, think about getting on the owner’s good side.”

“…!”

Park Jun-ok’s eyes widened. She whipped around to look at Seosing-a.

“Don’t tell me it’s you?”

But no. The signature with Bulgari earlier was definitely Bae Seo-nyeok’s- Wait.

“You gave it? A 2 million euro necklace to that young thing?!”

‘What kind of relationship do they have?’

Even Park Jun-ok didn’t entertain trashy thoughts like Bae Seo-nyeok’s tastes having become strange while she wasn’t looking.

But… wasn’t this situation too strange to be normal! The calculator in her head quickly and keenly suggested other possibilities.

‘Seo surname… Seo surname… who is there?’

…Wait a minute.

‘Wasn’t the surname of that behind-the-scenes power player who’s been active since the Agency for National Security Planning days, that old man who deals in war weapons, Seo…?’

“!”

Park Jun-ok felt goosebumps rise at her own speculation.

Indeed, Bae Seo-nyeok! As expected of that bastard, he’s really playing it smart!

‘Right. I thought it was strange. If she were just a simple entertainer, that Bae Seo-nyeok wouldn’t be so devoted!’

If she’s that old man Seo’s granddaughter, everything makes sense.

Not to mention during the military regime era, even now after the Agency for National Security Planning was dissolved, she heard he was calling National Intelligence Service power players brothers and controlling South Korea’s defense industry.

As one of Korea’s hidden power players, it was natural for the third son of the Bae family, with deep connections to political circles, to escort her!

‘It’s also natural that Bae Seo-nyeok gave me a hint.’

“Oh my. Forgive me, young lady. I made many mistakes.”

Mrs. Pierce’s eyes, having completed her total misunderstanding, became infinitely benevolent.

“Forget the fair price I mentioned earlier. I’ll add another 100,000 euros to the 2 million euros as an apology. Wouldn’t this be a pleasant transaction for everyone?”

She spoke persuasively.

A connection with old man Seo, who has close ties even with the US Pentagon, would also help her brother Min-su. This wouldn’t be a losing business.

“How about it?”

Cowardly Seosing-a, who had been trembling, nodded with glistening eyes.

“Add 100,000 and then 1 million more.”

“….”

“Since you barged in out of nowhere, adding compensation for my mental damage….”

“…?”

Park Jun-ok was bewildered.

What is this well-behaved kid babbling about right now?

“Don’t you like it…? B-but no negotiation….”

The money-minded bird never backed down from carrot deals.

So what if she’s a natural enemy? So what if she’s scary!

Does a natural enemy feed me? Does it help me avoid brain death? No matter how scary, it’s a matter of life and death, so I have to say what needs to be said!

Naturally, such rare gems skyrocket in value as time accumulates.

If she held on like this and sold it right before the mission ended, with inflation supporting her, she could get several times more than 2 million euros.

Since she was making concessions with tears in her eyes due to the examiner’s advice to ‘not become enemies,’ Seosing-a thought she was very wronged.

“Pfft.”

Bae Seo-nyeok couldn’t hold back and burst into laughter.

Park Jun-ok’s lips, forcing a smile, twitched violently.

“…Amusing. What a witty child.”

And just as the atmosphere in the room was becoming uncontrollably fucked up.

Click- BANG!!!

“Haa, ha…! Huff…!”

“…Father?”

“Hyung-nim?”

The person who had thrown open the closed room door with a loud bang.

Seo Shin-hyeon entered panting heavily, frantically looked around inside, and then his expression crumbled into despair.

“Not here either- Che, Cheong-song! Cheong-song is missing!!!”
