“Ji-woo, I’m only saying this because you’re not a complete stranger. I hope you stop seeing Tae-mu from now on. The same goes for visiting the Haeju estate. Tae-mu’s grandfather is getting old, his judgment is clouded. He lets just anyone into the house without realizing the consequences. Honestly, what’s the point of aging if you don’t gain any wisdom?”2bcb68a4551d0d16

“Do you really think having this baby will give you a claim over anything? Clearly, you don’t understand how the law works. The legal system in this country favors men.
