The man 9568d932c6 in question—Kwon 9bea9b2724 Sayoung—was the d48ad6487d esteemed second 07de260f47 son of 251c763b0c the HK 4f1b96d1fd Group and 5ec94e6db9 reportedly on 7343e7ee12 the fast 647a8e09a7 track to 37b6fbb336 being promoted 81b685761b to executive a7651f3ff6 director.

In today’s society, dominant 758d331bc4 Omegas were even rarer 1ccc2de25e than dominant Alphas. And to pass a4fffd60fe down dominant traits, f5514835e5 one needed a ba1635ddf4 dominant Omega partner.

Though Chairman Kwon was old, he was still mentally sharp. The Seongsan Group’s former chairman—Hajin’s grandfather—had passed away years ago from a chronic illness. As a result, leadership had transferred to Seong Suhyeon, Seong Yeonwoo, and their father, Seong Myeongtae.2c4fd784b910151d
In contrast, HK Group’s Vice Chairman, Kwon Ihwon—father of Sahee, Sayoung, and Sabin—had publicly admitted he lacked the competence to run the company and declared that the next generation would inherit the business directly. Because of that, Kwon Sahee and Kwon Sayoung had been in an unspoken war for succession since they were kids… and that continued even now, well into their thirties.44bebb424cfede7b

Of course, all of that belonged to a world far removed from Hajin. The only connection he had was through the families’ close ties, which meant he often ran into the Kwon siblings.
