Chapter 165
With strong backing in place, investments poured in from all directions, far exceeding their expectations.
Amidst the distractions, Oh Kyung-hee disappeared.
‘Oh Kyung-hee was transferred to another hospital?’
‘I went to check today, but they said the guardian had already discharged her
and moved her. Wasn’t it you?’
‘What are you talking about? I have no idea….’
A chill ran down his spine.
She had reappeared alongside Do Jeonghan’s proposal for a strategic marriage, then vanished again after the wedding.
‘Could it be… Do Jeonghan?’
A terrifying thought flashed through his mind, but he quickly shook it off.
No, no way.
Shaking his head, Park In-ok spoke in a detached tone.
‘Well, isn’t that for the best? We don’t need her anymore. Who cares if someone else took her back? They say the world is full of weird people. Maybe there’s even a guy out there who’s attracted to women in a vegetative state.’
‘…If that’s the case, then I suppose it’s fine.’
Her words erased his worries.
The idea that a rare fetishist, out of funds, might have returned Oh Kyung-hee only to reclaim her later seemed more plausible.
After all, the thought of Cheonkyung’s heir, who had lived in America, orchestrating such a scheme felt utterly inconceivable.
From then on, he became so preoccupied with handling the influx of investments from all directions that he completely forgot about Oh Kyung-hee.
But one day, funding from everywhere abruptly ceased.
For a few years, he managed to scrape by using his connection as Cheonkyung’s son-in-law, but eventually, he was buried under a mountain of debt too overwhelming to handle.
After being turned away multiple times from Do Jeonghan’s house, he finally decided to go to Cheonkyung’s headquarters.
However, he was stopped in the lobby.
‘I’m telling you, I’m Do Jeonghan’s father-in-law! What gives you the right to block me from seeing my son-in-law?!’
He grew furious as security staff tried to drag him outside. That’s when Do Jeonghan appeared.
“Ah, Do Seobang! It’s me!’’
The moment he saw Do Jeonghan, he eagerly waved his hand. As Do Jeonghan approached, he quickly began complaining.
“You came at the right time! I came here to see you, but these people wouldn’t let me in!’’
He was venting his frustration, but Do Jeonghan, staring at him without a hint of amusement, spoke to the security staff.
“Escort him out.’’
“Understood.’’
What? What did he just say?
His eyes widened in shock.
“What? Escort me out? Wait, Do Seobang! Just hear me out for a moment…!’’
As he struggled, trying to resist being dragged away by the security staff, Do Jeonghan raised a hand to stop them.
The security guards who had been holding him let go and stepped back.
Of course, they would!
After all, you’re still sleeping with Seol Suhyeon every night, aren’t you? How dare you ignore me when I’m Seol Suhyeon’s father!
As he dusted off his crumpled jacket, trying to regain composure, Do Jeonghan approached him.
With a smile, he spoke to him.
“I understand you might feel upset after all my repeated requests. Believe me, I’m trying my best, but you know how it is. Business doesn’t always go as planned.’’
‘…….’
Do Jeonghan stood there, his expression unchanged.
This bastard, his face is always so infuriatingly unreadable. It’s like he’s mocking people.
Suppressing the anger that threatened to boil over, he forced a smile and spoke again. After all, the only source of money left was this guy, Do Jeonghan.
“Still, you and Suhyeon are husband and wife, aren’t you? For Suhyeon’s sake, just this once, if you could help me again, I promise I’ll definitely….’’
“I’m warning you.’’
The low voice made him freeze in place without realizing it.
‘……!’
As Do Jeonghan leaned in close, the look in his eyes was so chillingly menacing it left him breathless.
‘If you ever show up in front of Seol Suhyeon again, you better be prepared to spend some time in prison.’
“P-prison? Just because my business failed, what kind of terrible thing is that to say…!’’
“Do you think I’d be making threats over something like that?’’
Do Jeonghan smiled lazily.
“Then why would I be going to prison? That doesn’t make any sense…’’
Do Jeonghan took another step closer, his face now serious as he tilted his head slightly.
“!”
The menacing glare from up close made his eyes waver.
“You should know.”
The low voice, like a deep abyss, caused his brow to furrow as he asked,
“What… what are you talking about?’’
‘The things you know.’
What…?
Fear suddenly surged as Do Jeonghan’s chilling expression intensified. He raised his head again and took a step back.
