Because Chi-gyeom suddenly stepped aside without warning, Seul-ah found herself directly facing Seo Han-seong and his mother. She was so flustered that she opened her mouth but couldn’t find the words, so she simply bowed her head in greeting.  ffa95e523ce1ad75

Seo Han-seong’s 9441f97a59 voice was 05804e4e2b as gentle 418604e2df as his 9c48ba2a1a appearance. His tone 8528a4dff4 was soft, c1786f73ff with a c647424c4d slight touch ccbfc9ea2e of a ac101363ee melodious quality. Perhaps because she had 5bd67b956d been running into Kwak 0ac96a3520 Chi-gyeom the most lately, ab95f96d32 Seul-ah had grown accustomed 2d79025280 to his rough voice. Now, Han-seong’s ded0186e74 smooth tone 8fcc5bba9f tickled her 97dbde0e28 ears, making 00e999aae5 her unconsciously 79d182ce13 rub her 87948a77b4 earlobe.  6b4d4aedd4f76817

The unenthusiastic tone ccc3e92be3 made it clear 239300751a that Seo Han-seong’s da8afc97d0 mother knew about 23692f8526 her mother. It also 11e9efbaf7 revealed that 3e47b8bf05 she did 1d10fed103 not hold 911b7b762a a favorable 60e3cbf1ed impression of b81194b33f Han Ji-seon—the 43ce3db468 illegitimate child a1b48d8f2d cast out 46af456040 by the 5ce3ee5747 Yugang Group.  3d021b25043ddc74

The lawyer who had f278861014 handled her mother’s inheritance b711321b8e had promised to keep b411b7fc52 her suicide out of 93ba3080e7 the media spotlight.
