Weekly Chapter 1/2

Yoongyo looked at the mobile after the phone call. After he received a report from Gwangmyeong about the person who had met Choi Jumi, he called him to find out more information. Gwangmyeong told him that he was a schoolmate.

He felt a weight on his shoulders.

When he tapped his mobile with his fingers, Kim Hyungjun walked in. Cheolju blocked Kim Hyungjun because he had recklessly entered. When Yoongyo motioned for him to step aside, he returned to his original position.

“What do you want?”

“I came here to see your face. Cheolju was quite rude.”

“Do I seem benevolent to you?”

“No. Many bastards got into trouble because they didn’t watch their tongues.”

“Be direct. I still don’t have enough patience.”

“But…”

“Why were you in the hospital?”

“I went because I had something to do there, but I heard you went to gynecology with a woman. But who is that b#tch you were f#cking? She was m#aning a lot, she seems to love your manh#od. A crazy woman. But why were you in gynecology? Is she your son? I think the President will be happy.”

“I think you might lose your tongue.”

He soon discovered that the man outside the room was Kim Hyungjun.

“I know.”

“Why did you come?”

“I know you suspect me.”

“I didn’t say anything.”

Hyungjun didn’t even ask.

“I just wanted to clarify that I didn’t participate, because I don’t want you to suspect me. It’s obvious that you will try to isolate anyone you doubt. I don’t get any benefit.”

It was a possibility. In any case, he was sure that a person who had the President’s great confidence would not have planned to stab his successor.

He was not that stupid. He had a great weakness because he was only President Kwon’s nephew. He was not directly related to President Kwon, so his position could be threatened at any time.

He had to earn recognition. That was the way lineage worked in this industry. Unless he had enough influence, he could become a target to be eliminated.

“You have a long tongue, Hyungjun.”

“I’m sorry. Forget what I said about that woman.”

Hyungjun’s name came up as a potential heir due to his family ties, yet he lacked the necessary skills to assume the role. Although President Kwon had brought Hyungjun in, there was no reason for him to hold a high position.

That was why people who knew this world used superficial tricks.

Song Hayoung dared to attack him without fear. Choi Jumi was in danger. She was in a sensitive state because she had a child. Moreover, she could suffer a shock in any situation due to hormonal imbalances. He remembered how she protected her belly when her mother dragged her on the floor. She searched for his chest with her trembling eyes. She needed someone to trust. She would inherit her father’s property, but she was not interested in money. In her eyes there was loneliness. She didn’t have a coffee shop to sell coffee, but a castle where she hid behind the walls.
