– HyunJin made a deal.e594090e481dceaf
Deal? What did this mean? When it came to money, her father-in-law only knew how to hold it close to his chest. R&K had dealt an unforgivable blow to HyunJin, so why did they offer up a deal? It didn’t make any sense.2f48e27cab340bf8

In a dark ba5fe64567 forest, a lost 3ae24abee1 girl was looking c6e3a4cc03 up at the f5c05e3663 sky. She had been 1a4fb078ca working on this a95e62970b drawing for 3 defd723ae1 days.

With only those words, 3501d7371b the call ended. She blankly looked e909b45a37 down at her 84f750ed08 phone and pressed cd6946b743 her lips together. A child from her 1cf4acff99 and Seo JoonHun?

Yuan turned her head and looked out the window. They were on the bridge passing over the Han River. The car made thumping noises as it crossed the bridge. She felt as if she was the young girl looking up at the sky as she looked through the beams of the bridge. Running as fast as she could in her bare feet over the bridge… Yuan quickly tilted her head back and closed her eyes.0bf3baad186a225f

Yuan lightly got out of the car and entered the luxurious entrance of the department store. The bodyguards had already gotten out of their car behind her. Yuan didn’t look at them at all, but they were already looking around at her surroundings naturally.7e712c6c0a952251

As if they were already alerted of her arrival, the best brand-name watch store’s doors were open. It was customary for this store to only allow one VVIP customer in at a time. As soon as Yuan entered, the shutters of the shop entrance lowered, and the store manager came up and politely introduced herself.a55cac164232fddf

A prickly feeling shot through Yuan’s chest. It was like a violent rage. Yuan was surprised by it herself. She was unable to block the poisonous displeasure that was overwhelming her. Just what do you think you’re doing, Yoon HeeSoo? Are you showing off that you know my husband better than I do?a086005d309c21f3
Yoon HeeSoo often did things like this. In a way that wouldn’t catch anyone else’s eye. Cleverly, she would let slip the fact that she knew Seo JoonHun better than Yuan did.f3c10c7f715722c7

Anything that had to do with Seo JoonHun first went through Secretary Yoon. The woman knew Seo JoonHun’s preferences and his current interests. She was the most experienced when it came to him. The types of presents he’d like, the style of clothing he preferred, even the subtle details of his relationships with other people. When it came to all these things, Yuan had to ask for Secretary Yoon’s advice.f143040370c13925
