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.  780f020766b6b27f

Seo Han-seong’s 9e375b064e voice was 8570cd55d4 as gentle 0e83bcb2bb as his a1ea234bee appearance. His tone was soft, 5e1d0e0eb1 with a slight touch 387614e897 of a melodious quality. Perhaps because she 6c699aefd3 had been running 70ee594e21 into Kwak Chi-gyeom 3e6bbd81f3 the most lately, d68af60c38 Seul-ah had grown de645aeda1 accustomed to his 358cb8da89 rough voice. Now, Han-seong’s smooth 5efd513954 tone tickled her 47cb10eb8a ears, making her 30c4d708a8 unconsciously rub her e4876b20f1 earlobe.  ddbe3ea644c75334

The unenthusiastic 11c34d7db9 tone made a9e5b1a016 it clear ed9f013e89 that Seo 8606322337 Han-seong’s mother 7d88d1fa0f knew about 81c84bb885 her mother.

The lawyer who had 5d452dd179 handled her mother’s inheritance 9a3ff57036 had promised to keep de040a32f0 her suicide out of 35a9af4589 the media spotlight. He had said 6fa43447f6 it was the dc7cd9f6be last thing he 332c134487 could do for 4bd91629f1 his former university 7fb59d5a0e senior’s honor.
