Chapter 92.1

“M-mother……!”

“I did wrong in educating my child. I didn’t expect my eldest daughter to do this behind my back. But it’s all because of my concern. Please understand me.”

Chairman Seo mechanically continued. She was blunt in her speech and expression as if she would not bleed even if he stabbed her. Joo Nam, who used to curse in front of Sera, also became calm in front of Chairman Seo.

“Shall we end the formal apology here?”

Chairman Seo stared at the chairman. The Vice Chairman nodded quietly.

“Then let’s schedule it later and discuss the contract from the beginning again.”

Recalling Chairman Seo’s teaching, the Vice Chairman brought up the main point with a straightforward phrase this time. Chairman Seo turned her back on the Vice Chairman.

“M-mother……!”

“…….”

Sera chased after Chairman Seo, restless.

Chairman Seo did not respond once. Then she stopped in front of the elevator.

“Are you satisfied now that you humiliated your only mother?”

“Mother, it’s not that……!”

“Your sister would obey me if I said so. At least she wouldn’t do this behind the scenes.”

“……what sister. No way, you mean Seo Haewon?”

Sera paused and trembled.

“Why is she my sister? My only sister is Ellie!”

“Since you’re like this, Ellie is the same as you. I’m sick of it, I’m sick of it.”

Chairman Seo shook her head with an expression that she was really disgusted. She was a woman who was far from motherhood from the beginning, but today was the first time she refused her child.

‘Is that what Mother who left us unattended would say?’

Sera bit her teeth.

Sera’s heart was filled with resentment toward Mother. But Sera quickly denied it. The cause is not her mother.

Joo Adam.

This was all because of the bastard.

“I hope you don’t interfere with my plan anymore.”

“!”

Sera was startled by Chairman Seo’s remark.

A plan…… a plan… a distraction…….

Am I a distraction to my mother?

Chairman Seo got on the elevator alone, leaving her daughter standing foolishly. Until the door was closed, Chairman Seo did not give Sera a glance.

“You have to take risks to get what you want.”

Then someone came up behind Sera’s back.

Sera clenched her fist with an oddly bouncy tone.

“You just want things without any risk? You can’t do that. You’re an adult now, aren’t you?”

“……you.”

Sera stared at Adam with wide eyes. Adam held the crumpled result paper in his hand and waved it as if to see it to be seen.

“Isn’t that right, Vice Chairman Seo?” Adam grinned, revealing his white teeth.

At that moment, Sera realized.

The fact that all of this was a trap dug by Joo Adam. Blinded by her mother’s recognition, she stepped on a trap that was clearly visible and headed toward the middle of the enemy camp.

“You, damn it…. This is how everything unfolded, right?”

“Huh? I don’t know what you’re talking about.”

Adam tilted his head. Then he looked up and down at Sera and smiled broadly again, “You look so agitated. Why don’t you wash your face with cold water?”

Sera clenched and unfolded her fist in the air, then quickly turned around. She pressed the elevator button nervously.

I’m not running away.

I just don’t want to fall for his childish provocation anymore.

“Damn… why isn’t it coming!”

Sera quickly turned toward the emergency exit while checking the number of floors.

Ignoring Adam’s sarcastic voice, “It’s over 40 floors here,” she burst open the emergency exit door.

There was a staircase that led far to the floor.

Step. Step.

Without knowing the end.

Drag.

A travel suitcase bigger than the last time rolled towards Kang Tae-oh. Kang Tae-oh did not eat his apple, but quickly stretched out his right foot and stopped the suitcase.

Soon Sera appeared with the sound of heels. She had changed like a different person in just one day.

The atmosphere was even more edgy.

“Bury a man.”

“……Do you still make me do that?”

Kang Tae-oh asked back, mumbling an apple that he had chewed. Then, he put the leftover apple on the box and twirled the knife.

“Do you think I would change just by becoming a Vice Chairman? I’m the same. Rather, there are a lot of people who I want to kill.”

Sera strode up and snatched his wrist holding a knife.

It was Kang Tae-oh who was embarrassed by the fearless behavior. He quickly snatched the knife that almost fell toward Sera and threw it far away.

“You almost got hurt.”

“Do you have one or two wounds on your body?”

“No, not me……. Ha.”

What’s wrong with her today?
