Chapter 23 **** Do-geon wanted to be completely prepared for anything, but Josein didn't seem to mind at all. "I don't know if you were aware of this, but I thought I should tell you in advance, so you won't be surprised if we run into each other at the mansion one day." "I'll be there to welcome you when you come." "You don't have to, but thank you." Josein was humbled, but she didn't refuse. As expected, she and Do-geon flashed their prepared smiles. ‘She seems invested….’ It was a bit...

Chapter 22 *** Do-geon’s eyes widened slightly. He stared at her for a moment, then let out a small laugh. "Oh, is this how you're supposed to be?" "...." "I like you better this way." Muttering, Do-geon untangled his crossed legs and leaned his elbows on his thighs. Even with his upper body half bowed, the man's presence was still intimidating. Tilting his head at an angle, he spoke again. "Miss Jeong, I don't like troubles." "..." "And I hate being caught in the middle of it even more."...

Chapter 21 *** Do-geon was dressed in a suit without a jacket. The shoulders of his white shirt were taut as he leaned back slightly. The one-seater couch was filled to capacity. Jae-yeon suddenly realized that the man was a large man. Usually dressed in a suit, he had very clean lines that made him look like a slender man. But considering that Han Do-seok, who was nearly 180 centimeters tall, looked tiny next to him, he was basically giant. "Oh, I've been there before. It was so long ago, I...

Chapter 20 **** Han Do-Seok couldn't hide his harsh breath and sarcastically said to Do-geon. "I've been seeing this bitch, you dickhead, so, uh, what's wrong with you sharing a girl with your.................. cousin, huh?" "What................" It was a vague response that could hardly be called an answer. In the first place, Do-geon didn't seem to care what Han Do-seok had to say. His emotionless gaze turned back to her. His eyes met with Jae-yeon's, who had been watching the situation...

Chapter 19 *** Jae-yeon came out of the hospital room with the chairman's clothes draped over her arm. She put them in a basket and washed a few dishes at the sink. There was a rattling sound in the silence. She grabbed the basket of laundry and headed for the door. Just as she was pulling the doorknob toward her, someone standing in front of her grabbed her shoulder. Jae-yeon was dragged outside, wide-eyed. The other person reached out with his other hand and closed the door. The light-filled...

Chapter 18 *** Heo Eun-hee added in a friendly tone. "I heard that Dae-jin's grandson is a founding member of a famous private equity firm in the U.S. He's very rich, richer than most chaebol's children." Do-geon didn't say much in response. Honestly, it was never pleasant to talk to a woman who was a brothel madam. There was no way he'd sit in the same room with such a lowlife unless it was Jeong Jae-yeon. Of course, if you look at it that way, he was wrong to get involved with her in the...

Chapter 17 *** The dimly lit room was deserted. The chair Jae-yeon had been sitting in was empty. Only the bark-like markings on the desk remained. Do-geon frowned and blinked a few times, then stretched and pushed himself upright. With a grunt, he checked his watch. "How long have I been asleep......?” The hour hand was already past two o'clock. He was stunned. No matter how tired he was, how could he fall asleep so casually in front of others? He rubbed the back of his neck irritatedly, his...

Chapter 16 **** Do-geon read the look on Jae-yeon's face. He apologized, she accepted, and now what was he doing without leaving? "I.................. you have anything else to say?" Jae-yeon asked cautiously after a long silence, and the corners of Do-geon’s eyes twitched slightly. More to say? It was a little ridiculous. First she'd acted like she couldn't say more, and now she wanted to kick him out. What was going on in this woman's head? For some reason, he felt like his pride was being...

Chapter 15 *** As night fell, the restaurant turned into a lounge bar. When the time passed 10 p.m., Do-geon checked his wristwatch as if to remind himself. "It's so late already, should we get up?" "Ah..............." Josein looked wistful, and after a moment's hesitation, she cautiously suggested. "Hey, the hotel lounge bar across the street is open until 1:00.................. if you'd like to go there and have a drink?" Do-geon replied with an embarrassed smile and a hint of regret. "I'd...

Chapter 14 *** The chairman asked as if he just now remembered. "Do-geon, Dongjin told me...... I'll tell you...... You can also issue a CB. The right holder will be decided by Dongjin and------." "You mean call options?" Do-geon immediately understood what Mr. Han meant. Repurchase rights, like call options, were one of the ways private equity was used to reduce inheritance taxes. By connecting this to an overseas private equity fund where he was a board member, he was saying that he would...
