CS Chapter 11

The melody of a violin softly resonated in the five-star hotel lounge. The night view of Seoul, visible through the floor-to-ceiling windows, was unrealistically beautiful.

 

However, unlike the luxurious space, a woman dressed in rather simple attire was quietly waiting for someone. Her whole body was rigidly tense with nervousness, and her face clearly showed signs of anxiety.

The man, who naturally took a seat opposite the woman, smiled at her like a painting. The man before her was so endlessly elegant that the beautiful night view of the Han River suddenly seemed insignificant.

A few days ago, she received a sudden marriage proposal from Chairman Cha Jinwoong, the man’s grandfather. From Seowoo’s perspective, it was naturally perplexing, so she had indirectly expressed her intention to refuse, but she only received the response to reconsider.

Since she had nowhere to go after being discharged from the hospital, Seowoo had been staying at a hotel with the help of Chairman Cha, and as she couldn’t keep delaying her answer, she was also mentally preparing herself.

“…Who is that?”

The woman widened her eyes as if she genuinely didn’t know.

In fact, Minjun had already grasped the fact that there was no connection between Cheonsin Bosal and Ji Seowoo. He had been digging into Ji Seowoo’s past in various ways, but apart from her suspicious initial appearance, he couldn’t find anything particularly special about her.

Whether Cheonsin Bosal’s foresight was truly outstanding or it was just a lucky coincidence was something that quite intrigued Minjun.

This was what Seowoo had wanted to ask Chairman Cha for a long time. She was curious about his intentions of not only taking in a woman who jumped in front of a car looking bizarre, and then having her stay in a luxurious hospital and hotel, but also wanting her to marry his grandson.

Although she felt slightly offended by the man’s contempt, Seowoo pulled herself together, thinking rationally.

The man had tried to intimidate her with talk about being a scapegoat and having a short life, but she had already given up on her life since she jumped out of the window to escape her mother.

Perhaps it was because of that. Her resignation was swift.

From the moment her mother handed her over to the cult leader, Seowoo had nowhere else to go. Her family had already abandoned her, so she was no different than an orphan. In other words, Ji Seowoo didn’t have many options.

Hyunsook, who had prostrated herself with her forehead nearly touching the floor, repeatedly said that she was in the wrong. Since Seowoo, who was designated as the heavenly bride, had escaped due to her carelessness, she deserved to die.

When Hyunsook was in her undergarments, the Elder nodded and handed her a willow switch.
