Chapter 66

Before getting in the car, Jeonghwa looked around and spoke through gritted teeth.

“Didn’t you talk properly with Juran?”

“You’re asking if I didn’t talk properly with Juran? No. We had all the conversations you’d expect from people on a blind date.”

Only then did Jeonghwa relax her jaw and straighten her angry expression.

“…Really? How was it?”

“Well. We did have a conversation, but it didn’t seem like we were particularly compatible. There’s that thing called first impressions, Mother.”

“What?!”

“Didn’t you always say that? That as soon as you went to the nursery, you recognized ‘our son’ at first sight.”

“What are you trying to say?!”

Jeonghwa openly raised her voice.

However, Jaejun answered clearly without concern.

“The moment I saw Im Juran, I felt nothing at all.”

“Haa.”

Jeonghwa rubbed her temples as if she had a headache, then poked her husband next to her with her index finger.

Meanwhile, Youngjun, who was on the phone with the executive secretary, glanced at the two and actually moved further away.

“Father doesn’t seem particularly interested in the marriage proposal with Udam Group.”

“When has that guy ever cared about you more than me?! From sending you to school to studying abroad, I’m the one who took care of everything and worried about you!”

“I know. I’m always grateful for that.”

“That’s not the point! Udam Group would be a great backing for you to grow the hotel! Then your grandmother would naturally elevate you as successor!”

“Then how is that different from elevating Udam Group’s granddaughter as successor? I should be recognized for my abilities.”

Before long, Jeonghwa was beating her chest like a gorilla.

“Ugh, so frustrating. Really. How can my one and only son be so disobedient.”

“If I had been a disobedient son, I wouldn’t have reached this position at such a young age.”

“If only you couldn’t speak!”

“Anyway, I did my best to listen to you and went on the blind date. Im Juran and I just weren’t satisfied with each other.”

Jeonghwa seemed to have nothing to say and just kept making frustrated sounds.

And that’s when it happened.

A car came and stopped behind Father’s car.

Then someone got out of the driver’s seat and ran toward them.

It was Secretary Kwon.

“…Yongil?”

When Jeonghwa called Yongil with a puzzled look, Yongil greeted Jeonghwa respectfully.

“Good day, Madam.”

“Oh… But what brings you here?”

“The Vice President has a schedule. I came to pick him up.”

Jeonghwa glared at Jaejun.

“It’s important business. You know I’m not someone who just plays around. Stop holding onto your busy son and go have a nice date with Father before going home.”

Jaejun mercilessly passed by Jeonghwa and went to his car.

He could hear Jeonghwa’s angry voice calling him from behind, but he ignored it.

As soon as he got in the back seat, Yongil immediately got in the driver’s seat and asked.

“Vice President. How was the blind date?”

Jaejun felt annoyed at Yongil asking how the blind date went when he clearly knew that he liked Yoomin and had only gone because of Jeonghwa’s pressure.

However, he suppressed his anger and answered calmly.

“I went sincerely.”

Today he was off duty, yet he was a loyal secretary who drove all the way to the countryside for his boss.

“How long will it take from here?”

“It takes about 2 hours and 30 minutes to Boeun. Depending on highway conditions, it might take a bit longer. I’ll try to drive as fast as possible for now.”

Jaejun answered that he understood, then put his arm on the door trim and touched his chin.

Right now he was on his way to meet an employee who used to work at Hong Sanghoon’s company, Yoomin’s grandfather.

Secretary Kwon had tried to contact them several times, but seeing that they had even changed their contact information, there was no choice but to go find them directly.

Jaejun didn’t have much time.

He had never imagined that he would be so physically compatible with that scatterbrained woman, so he had decided he needed to bring her home as soon as possible and be with her every night.

To do that, bringing down Hong Sanghoon, who would be a problem in making Yoomin his wife, was the top priority.

“Secretary Kwon.”

Jaejun called Yongil who was driving.

“Yes, please speak.”

“How do I look today? I dressed carefully to appear trustworthy to Mr. Kim Jaecheol.”

Yongil looked at Jaejun through the rearview mirror.

“You look trustworthy enough that anyone would see you as a prosecutor full of justice.”

Jaejun retightened his loosely hanging tie and looked out the window.

He felt somewhat uneasy because he thought he might have caused unnecessary misunderstanding with the kid this morning.

It wasn’t that he had dressed up to meet a woman other than Yoomin.

That kid wouldn’t say strange things to Yoomin, would he?

Jaejun, who had picked up his phone to contact Yoomin, put it down again.

If Haneul happened to tell her and Yoomin misunderstood, he could just clear it up.

Since there was no evidence yet that the kid had passed along his words, it seemed better not to create unnecessary trouble.

He closed his eyelids as sudden fatigue washed over him.

“Aaaaah!”

Suji, who had another nightmare today, woke up screaming.

Cold sweat ran down her spine and a chilling sensation spread from her head to her toes.

It was that dream again today.

The dream of that day when she was attacked by an assailant and got a long cut on her face.

What made her feel even more disgusted were the faces of Hong Yoomin and Seol Jaejun, who were watching from afar and laughing as she clutched her blood-covered face and screamed.

While she was in this state, unable to get married and having to live with a hideous face for the rest of her life.

The thought that Hong Yoomin, that bitch, would live happily with Seol Jaejun made her insides twist and want to die.

What good deed did Hong Yoomin, that bitch, do in her past life to catch a third-generation chaebol like Seol Jaejun?

When she remembered Yoomin’s face looking at her with contempt as she left in his embrace last time, her neck stiffened.

“Ah, it hurts, it hurts.”

Suji wailed, feeling the pain directly.

Since the day she was attacked by the assailant and injured her face, her life had become a mess.

She had become a coward who couldn’t take a single step outside, not knowing when or where she might have an accident.

While she was deteriorating day by day like this.

Hong Yoomin, that bitch, would live enjoying all happiness with Seol Jaejun by her side, right?

Evil bitch. The most unlucky bitch in the world.

Come to think of it, wasn’t it all because of that bitch that she ended up like this?

If Hong Yoomin had obediently married President Kim Byeongtae on time, she wouldn’t have been attacked by an assailant and injured her face.

Her anger toward Hong Yoomin blazed fiercely in her chest, threatening to destroy her.

The flames of that anger were so hot and strong that Suji clutched her chest and rolled around on the bed several times.

Because she was screaming, Mother, who was on the 1st floor, came up.

“Suji! Suji! Open the door! What’s wrong!”

It had been almost five days since she locked the door and hadn’t come out of her room.

Outside, Mother was crying and pounding on the door.

“Mother is sorry. Mother should have done something about that bitch Yoomin earlier. It’s all Mother’s fault. I’m sorry, my daughter. Sob.”

Only after hearing Mother’s crying did Suji stop screaming.

Why do Mother and I have to suffer like this?

Why does only our family have to go through such hardship?

Hong Yoomin should suffer too. That Uncle should also have a hard time as her family member.

Having gained great enlightenment, Suji got down from the bed and went to the wardrobe.

She took out clothes to wear and called to her mother who was outside.

“…Mother. Father is… still camping out at the hospital?”

“He has to if he’s going to catch that little bitch!”

A shout filled with resentment toward who knows who could be heard from outside.

Suji pulled her hat down low and opened her room door for the first time in five days.

“…Su, Suji…”

“Mother. I’m going out for a bit. I want to get some fresh air alone for once.”

“Mother will come with you. It’s too dangerous for you.”

“What more could happen here. Don’t follow me. If you follow me, I’ll never come out of my room again.”

Mother, who had been trying to hold onto Suji, stopped in her tracks.

Suji took advantage of that moment to leave the house.

And she hurriedly called a taxi.

“Driver, please take me to Korea University Hospital.”
