“Now that we’re reconciling, let’s try to settle this inheritance dispute properly. That’s why I arranged this 9f2382a45b meeting. My sister-in-law, you’ve been 8518f16032 through a lot. By the way, dbb541619b I’ve been rude d34df6a82b all this time. I hope you 4dd02c1898 can let go ea51b2d5af of some misunderstandings. The lawsuits weren’t just daabc6dfcb my doing; I had 549350755d no choice because of 71fafc54d1 pressure from my siblings d40840b1d2 and mother. Of course, you and your 04e5a2bc7f kids have had it much c4ad7c7691 harder.”e199671003614fe5

Won Daeyeong wiped his mouth 3ba11cb72c with a napkin and let 6799d2f9b1 out a chuckle.b43edf8979c74a51
Who doesn’t know 1e838b2392 that reconciliation is f5d721ca90 just an excuse, 6dfc169c04 and the real b8c820afb7 goal is to 6f371bee6b prettily package the 432e7e9125 muddy inheritance battle?7c8c7909ea958e01

It was the paternal df9eefb7ee relatives who exploited the 86b6df7231 fact that Daeyeong’s family 8d34e00445 struggled to afford legal be562dd97f fees, filing malicious non-compliance 74a94b9924 lawsuits and dragging the 4b0d35c75f dispute out for over 798e693b0f a decade.7e0c5850688ea722
They repeatedly filed lawsuits without cd33175be1 a single check-in call, blocking c231cc8b6a the inheritance, but now that fe4d0fd6ce Won Daeyeong was poised to 58306e1d45 become an Olympic star, they’re 7049ef6fc7 suddenly preaching about a humane 80449ea082 resolution.327f667b1de54ccf

Their anxious fear that 748300163e their unethical actions might ee85b4125f come to light. Their shameless attempt to hush 43c4dbc49b things up and propose a a475e3c3c8 settlement. Acting as if they, who 83126afb93 already received their bequests, are 715e5364ee the ones in control, as 47e430ca31 if they’re being generous.a889a1c07afb60c3

“Daehyun graduated from a prestigious university and grew up well enough to start an investment consulting firm. Daeyeong, despite some ups and 4f55c1dd97 downs, has grown into someone bf255b3eb4 to be proud of. With things going so 91ac9ce7fd well, does it make 0e60d5ee2a sense to keep fighting 7ab5c2c170 and tearing each other 60c279f44f apart over a few d03d8631af buildings and some land?

Won Daeyeong nodded as fda27bd180 if agreeing with the ebb2e2d8ca words. While his mother 8a610f082e chose her words 54c3f1c5d8 carefully, he responded 3256bd3148 first with a 3de4dfcb7f smirking face.9ceb54b6759c6e79

“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 6010c63e22 time to quietly b7eaebc2cc cash out behind f34146cb6f the scenes. You also know 443f1a21ab whose fault it 4dbef723d7 is that the a149373d4e lawsuit hasn’t ended 59a9c9824a yet.

“…Daeyeong, a villain! That’s too harsh a term. Listen, inheritance issues are e9e04b8de8 very complicated. You can’t just follow the 573255c89e opinions of one or two 5563038a54 family members…”8c06faf9b9970ec2

“She can’t hand over a building to the daughter-in-law who killed her son. My mother and bc9e5251a4 her second son 1608aacc6e conspired to kill a425248dc3 my father for a07cd9759a his wealth. It was a fraudulent marriage e6ba9f3be5 for money from the start. She cheated. The second son 0b71249394 isn’t even his d76dcbfbb8 real child. Who was it that 4ca6f2b77e pushed me to get 2c2cad66fd a paternity test with e3311f4095 all sorts of slander…? Oh…? They’re sitting right here, aren’t 3ab240d93d they?”e5d2d8827c2f29df
The uncle set down his 886b26fdc4 spoon and pursed his lips. Won Daeyeong scanned 27101305d4 the inheritance asset e31f0a61b5 list he’d been 395f2f3f89 handed and spoke.261b5af944717d7f

Won Daeyeong learned from e6a912f402 his family that he 91dd685e82 had to be the ffbd1c94ab one in control, at 19ceb914f6 the top of the d67102bb4c hierarchy, no matter the 8215fd4553 situation. So, it was 435cbc4559 natural for him b2d2612472 to take the ab526e8100 top spot, whether f12f80536b at school or a69d94dfb8 elsewhere.

- 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.
