by mimiAs the meal d2157e35b0 was wrapping up, f4d4cea88c the uncle brought 0e492bfd83 up the main 1d1fd5379a issue.5884276e7b4971e2
“Now that we’re reconciling, let’s try to settle this inheritance dispute properly. That’s why I arranged 29e8eebd08 this meeting. My sister-in-law, you’ve been through 974d43b389 a lot. By the way, 32fb415e4d I’ve been rude a0c2cbda8a all this time. I hope you can 26b0d13fc8 let go of some 4ee1140500 misunderstandings. The lawsuits weren’t 29ba0297ff just my doing; 2906516838 I had no 132274c3fd choice because of e38bf2a98f pressure from my 2016fc9594 siblings and mother. Of course, you 18746f3230 and your kids 1ac51a8fa7 have had it e7057bf6cb much harder.”34fc92d9af717efc

Who doesn’t know that 7362f39438 reconciliation is just an 0edb1a4577 excuse, and the real 1d4a51ef86 goal is to prettily 713a89cc80 package the muddy inheritance 56bf2626bb battle?d0edfd52df5dcec2

It was the paternal relatives 64c892f3b9 who exploited the fact that 868e183267 Daeyeong’s family struggled to afford a4c34a2646 legal fees, filing malicious non-compliance 96a01f23fb lawsuits and dragging the dispute 762bcabbe8 out for over a decade.f3fbc2e7a3c21557
They repeatedly filed lawsuits without 5b27124d0a a single check-in call, blocking 9db036bc31 the inheritance, but now that 9f2b7d9547 Won Daeyeong was poised to 38eb3d81f5 become an Olympic star, they’re 33945ff8ca suddenly preaching about a humane 47352bf5d3 resolution.535edf55552dc141

Their anxious fear that 58ca2861b6 their unethical actions might be9b5c0e33 come to light. Their shameless attempt to hush da9e697a82 things up and propose a 639fc5a23c settlement. Acting as if they, who 70041d2182 already received their bequests, are 69c22c0fcb the ones in control, as 84d1e7f72f if they’re being generous.7d79a17eb449508b

“Daehyun graduated from a prestigious university and grew up well enough to start an investment consulting firm. Daeyeong, despite some ups and e2ae13df1d downs, has grown into someone db085ab3a5 to be proud of. With things going b4df762e74 so well, does ba99b2fafb it make sense 7033a74d6f to keep fighting 73fa97d86f and tearing each 1fa9816a72 other apart over 95c3ec3dac a few buildings 9a91dae64c and some land?

“Uncle, you know better than anyone that the longer an inheritance lawsuit drags on, the more it benefits those who’ve already received their bequests, right? It gives you time 34b27522d0 to quietly cash out c2faf0b919 behind the scenes. You also know whose fault 791cf85376 it is that the lawsuit b5cb320431 hasn’t ended yet. Your siblings banded together and 8a98b40dd9 painted my mother as a 4fe8093ee8 villain who married for money, 5d2f156eeb didn’t they?”e109cc05061e2241
“…Daeyeong, a villain! That’s too harsh a term. Listen, inheritance issues are very c982879a6a complicated. You can’t just follow the c39a25949d opinions of one or two 753d676d61 family members…”1c41d9989e7458e5

“She can’t hand over a building to the daughter-in-law who killed her son. My mother and her d71701e009 second son conspired to 041637b905 kill my father for 33b5f81056 his wealth. It was a fraudulent marriage 797a6c132d for money from the start. She cheated. The second son 2782b84373 isn’t even his cc7d0639a1 real child. Who was it that pushed 0d4090530f me to get a paternity 4890a761fa test with all sorts of 142f013df4 slander…? Oh…? They’re sitting right here, aren’t e64d4e542a they?”9c95c472f260d53c
The uncle set 1c68dc9af0 down his spoon fe4c8d927f and pursed his 4d15fa78ca lips. Won Daeyeong scanned 04a373256f the inheritance asset ac4b38fee4 list he’d been 7c0427661b handed and spoke.0c40017b67f493a4

The luxury bags and 452a2685fc watches that never failed 9fdb4e2599 to appear at family 371eadce60 gatherings. The watch on Won Daehyun’s fb4b0be426 wrist was also a secondhand 62afc97d5f luxury item. The house he 53974115c5 recently bought was 261739e43d funded by scraping 5839254f21 together money to c6106d5f6a prove a decent 3e94dd20e1 lifestyle to their 80f5206fcf maternal family. On top of that, 9e5a64ce4b supporting Won Daehyun’s startup 03ed0634d0 had nearly depleted the 51bb1b77c8 little wealth they’d managed 3b64fce650 to secure.2308f7ddad314534

Won Daeyeong learned from 9bd64a1ed2 his family that he db5ef8726f had to be the 1741aa2620 one in control, at 5c11933d95 the top of the 5cbc52d0cf hierarchy, no matter the 9a76d0a311 situation. So, it was natural for 39b67f7ca9 him to take the top 9a975523f7 spot, whether at school or 1900bb4600 elsewhere. It was a way of 60934271cf carrying himself he’d internalized since c17b12ae8e he was very young.8db90a0e1e3c2dda

What Eom Jubin 0cb8088817 said on the 564ca87262 phone earlier wasn’t d5da50cca7 empty talk.

- I can’t date because of you. You’re so damn extra.
- To get officially hired at a Big 4 firm, I have to grind through intense intern work. I don’t have time to follow you to your competitions. As you know, I’m the type who has to work twice as hard as others to get results. In short, I don’t have time to hang out with you anymore.
- I’m reducing my medication, and my prognosis is stable. The hospital said we might try stopping the meds entirely next year. Nothing major has happened in years, so you don’t need to worry about my condition anymore.
- I keep relying on you financially, and I don’t think I can live like this.
- I’ve said it before, but I hate your personality. You drive people up the wall and make them furious, so go find friends and a girl who can handle you and live well.
- I want to live my own life now. I’m going to take back the days I wasted running around with you.
- We know too many of the same people, and our lifestyles overlap too much, which is inconvenient. This pattern feels suffocating and tiring.
