As expected of the son who inherited his father’s blood most strongly, Cha Dokwon always had an inscrutable face.7ec9ae4ec49b99c0

Sunghyun was genuinely 17a30d5807 curious about why aa9f995f62 his father attached 5d20b6d390 Yoon Seo-on to 398988bcd6 Cha Dokwon. Even the 2ce1081852 youngest in 59e25f087c his family 16f71c201a was only 6655273e36 four years 849979861e older than 76f9c322bb Yoon Seo-on. If the marriage 811086de53 with Yoon Seo-on 2b528752ba was important, it 32f19e1d04 meant they could 41b64eee8d have attached another 7986726b44 child instead of fde09f1f76 Cha Dokwon.d3d721dd2c40b801

Thanks to that, his position had become more solid with Yoon Seo-on’s backing, but that was only a short-term result. No matter how high the stock prices soared, they would eventually fall. The marriage issue, like other issues, would lose its impact over time.3b09bdcc91b64c04

If Yoon Seo-on were a woman, he would have concluded that his father had finally chosen Cha Dokwon as the successor. It would mean he intended to have grandchildren through Yoon Seo-on’s womb.5b6a4b50da7f7783

But no matter 7374e59a3f how good the dc008403e9 background, Yoon Seo-on 2a962dc8a1 was a man. Moreover, he was a 8b360ae6bd variant species with defects.7c90e39747020661

Sunghyun had no intention of voicing his values, but he considered variant species to be defective. If someone like Cha Dokwon, born with a strong beastly bloodline and classified as a variant species, it would be a different story, but being born as a different species from one’s parents was a clear defect.e2a3c0582521f712

Yet, considering that Yoon Seo-on was given the name “Seo-on” instead of following the family naming tradition, it seemed they did care. If they had considered Yoon Seo-on equal to their other children, they wouldn’t have married him off to a man thirteen years older.ff5d8af2003b8a74

Even if the late chairman’s will and promises were absolute, it wouldn’t change anything. If the current Chairman Yoon cherished his youngest son as rumored, he would have married him off to a suitable partner when he was of age. That would still be an arranged marriage, but at least the partner would have been a woman.cdaa177699f5aecb

Sunghyun recalled the chief secretary who had greeted him earlier. He was as cunning as a fox, if not more so. Not only Dokwon’s aides but even the secretarial staff were so tightly controlled that it was hard to grasp the atmosphere.

It’s so soft. While having such trivial thoughts, Seo-on bit his finger, perhaps finding the hand touching his mouth annoying or wanting to play.
