Chapter 138. Free Will (13)
“Find out who that bastard was.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
Vroom, vroom.
The car pulled away from Hyundai Department Store.
Yun Se-a issued instructions to her secretary as they drove.
She forced down the boiling rage that threatened to spill over.
“That young brat already showing his hand….”
While Yun Se-a chased money above all else, she was still a woman in the prime of her youth—by no small margin.
And somewhere along the way, her husband Jang Yong-guk had aged.
These days, he had grown distant toward her.
He claimed he was busy with company matters, but she knew he spent time with younger women.
Knowing and enduring—it was excruciating.
But the moment she feigned ignorance, flew into a rage, and made a scene, her position as Mistress of the house would vanish.
Suffering through it once is torture; suffering through it twice becomes routine.
And critically….
‘I need a son.’
Even without contraception, she had produced nothing with her husband.
According to her personal physician, Jang Yong-guk’s fertility was questionable at best.
And yet he had the audacity to stray.
His mother wanted her to find a way to bring home a son from outside, by any means necessary.
A hopelessly dysfunctional family, with nothing to show for itself.
‘Chaebol family? Go eat dirt.’
She had seized what was Ju Hee-yeon’s entirely, but the triumph had been short-lived.
The position she now held had come to her because that woman had obligingly killed herself.
Jang Yong-guk was far less attentive than she had imagined.
Though registered in the family register, her own share of assets was meager.
She had rights only to what would pass to her through inheritance after her husband’s death.
Even in divorce, she would receive only a pittance in alimony.
‘I won’t let them steal it. It’s all mine!’
Jang Ji-yu was the first target for removal.
If only Jang Ji-yu would disappear, then the Shindo Group would….
“Ha Tae-ung….”
The black-clad knight who had been at Jang Ji-yu’s side.
A high school student who had just revealed himself as the youngest grandson of Ha Cheol-gon, Chairman of Haryun Group. That was the problem.
A headache had set in.
Haryun Group was a family infamous throughout the chaebol world.
A clan with neither blood nor tears when it came to the profits flowing to their conglomerate.
If true, Ha Tae-ung’s involvement could harm the Shindo Group as well.
“Tch….”
Yun Se-a clicked her tongue in frustration at the harsh reality.
“……!!”
Suddenly, a particular woman came to mind.
“Cheonghwa… Cheonghwa High School….”
She recalled a woman from a chaebol family whom she had met—not by chance—at an opportune moment.
Someone closely connected to Cheonghwa High School.
Tap-tap-tap.
She picked up her smartphone and quickly searched for the number.
Ring, ring, ring.
The line connected.
-My goodness, who is this? The busy Mistress of Shindo Group herself?
“Come on, why so formal? Hehe.”

“You want me to purchase that apartment building too? Incredible….”
Yu Il-hwa of Myungseong Real Estate was experiencing the greatest stroke of fortune in her life.
She had received a string of property listings from Kim, Mistress Han’s right hand.
The L-type Super Penthouse that Ha Tae-ung had received as a gift had an actual purchase price of 28.5 billion won.
It had been around 37 billion during the initial sale, but given poor economic conditions, Mistress Han had offloaded it at a steep discount.
Now she was putting it back on the market.
The recent decline in Signiel’s popularity was partly responsible.
A few scammers had moved into Signiel as residents, tarnishing its reputation.
When this hit the media, both image and price plummeted simultaneously.
In such circumstances, it was sheer luck that Ha Tae-ung had received the gift.
“For people like the Young Master, luck itself is an ability.”
Yu Il-hwa called Ha Tae-ung “Young Master”—
a title affixed to the scions of the greatest chaebol families.
“The building next to Cheonghwa High School is called…the Newstar Building, isn’t it?”
The Young Master had also requested the purchase of a commercial building.
The property was the Newstar Building, located a stone’s throw from Cheonghwa High School.
“Hmm? The gross floor area compared to the total site area is unusually small. Seven stories aboveground, but…three basement levels?”
The building had unusual characteristics.
The first floor alone spanned roughly 1,200 square meters.
The first-floor space was lined with glass on all sides, appearing to be designed for display purposes.
“How is this even on the market? The asking price is…30 billion?”
That seemed excessive for the property.
But the Young Master had instructed her to purchase it if at all reasonable.
“Okay! I’ll make this acquisition happen~”
The commission she would earn was substantial.
Once Mistress Han’s property was fully liquidated, her commission alone would exceed the value of a Gangnam apartment.
Yu Il-hwa was all the happier for it.
“With this opportunity…should I go independent?”
She had built up many regular clients over her years at Myungseong.
The CEO of Myungseong Real Estate was too busy playing golf every day to be bothered.
“An excellent selection.”
“Your aunt will love it! You’ve got great taste, Hyo-ju.”
“…….”
“What, is there more to see?”
“There are still a few things I need to pick up.”
“Yeah? What?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Let’s go.”
“Of course.”
His stride was confident, as if he already knew which store to visit.
He certainly didn’t carry himself like a second-year high school student anymore.
“Yes, unnie.”
“Tae-ung looks pretty cool, doesn’t he?”
“I like how honest you are, Hyo-ju~”
“…….”
“It’ll be hard for you.”
“Pardon?”
“Any woman who falls for Tae-ung…will have a rough time of it.”
A Swiss luxury brand: Rolex.
“Huh?”
“……??”
Then….
