Chapter 180
* * * * *
Stumbling drunk, Seol Hee-nam got out of a taxi that had stopped in the alley near his home.
Stagger, stagger.
Even though he was a mess from drinking too much, he seemed to be in a good mood, humming a tune.
The thought that once today’s board meeting was over, Chenkyung would be
Do Cheoljun’s made him hum with glee.
Once Do Cheoljun became chairman, there would be plenty to gain from him.
‘It’s practically thanks to me that he’s becoming the head, after all.’
A grin spread across his lips, and Seol Hee-nam chuckled to himself. That’s when a voice came from behind him.
“You seem to be in a good mood.”
“…What?”
He stopped in his tracks and turned to see Suhyeon standing there.
Seol Hee-nam’s expression twisted into a scowl.
“Damn it, I was feeling great after drinking some expensive booze, and now this bxxch is ruining my mood.”
As he muttered with a frown, Suhyeon walked closer to him.
“Does it feel good, pulling off a scam to steal Jeonghan’s company with a bunch of lies?”
“And why wouldn’t it?”
At Seol Hee-nam’s questioning tone, Suhyeon stared straight at him. Seol
Hee-nam waved his hand dismissively toward her, as if annoyed.
“Why don’t you go comfort your ex-husband, who’s been left high and dry?
Maybe the two of you can figure out how you’ll survive from now on.”
Suhyeon smiled.
“Do you really think things will go the way you want with me here?”
“What?”
Seol Hee-nam, his eyebrows shooting up, let out a sneer.
“And what could a woman like you possibly do, Seol Suhyeon? The media’s already under Do Cheoljun’s control. Can’t you see that? Stupid bxxch.”
Clicking his tongue, Seol Hee-nam turned to leave, but Suhyeon spoke.
“Think so? Slap on the title of Do Jeonghan’s ex-wife, and don’t you think a few articles will pop up?”
Seol Hee-nam turned back to look at her. Blinking his drunken eyes, he spoke.
“Oh… So you’re planning to go public nationwide with some Save My Ex-
Husband campaign? That’s filthy amusing. Go ahead, let’s see how that works out.”
He chuckled to himself and staggered off toward his house.
“Do you think I’d stop at just saving my ex-husband?”
The icy tone made Seol Hee-nam pause. He turned back around.
“…What the hell are you talking about?”
“Ah!”
Suhyeon, who had been slapped, collapsed to the floor. Seol Hee-nam, with a face reddened in anger, kicked Suhyeon with his foot.
Puh! Puck!
“Aak! Ack!”
“You bxxch, how dare you take out your anger on me for losing your man’s livelihood?! You ungrateful bxxch, really!”
Hee-nam, who had been kicking mercilessly, took a deep breath. Suhyeon, still on the floor, was glaring at him with blood dripping from her mouth.
“You pushed me. …Mom, she was briefly conscious.”
“!”
Seol Hee-nam’s eyes twitched.
“What did you say?”
“Before she passed away, just for a moment… she regained consciousness. She said it. In the mountains… you pushed her.”
Even after being beaten to the point of not being able to stand, Suhyeon was still glaring at him.
“Why did you push her?”
“…”
“Why did you push her?!”
Suhyeon shouted, and Seol Hee-nam smirked slyly.
“Yeah. I killed her. Oh Kyunghee, I pushed her.”
At the words spoken with a smile, Suhyeon bit her lip.
“Why on earth.”
When she asked through gritted teeth, Seol Hee-nam reeked of alcohol and chuckled.
“Why? What else? It was for her insurance money.”
“What…?”
Suhyeon’s face hardened. Seeing that expression, Seol Hee-nam laughed and spoke.
“If you have a brain, think about it. Why do you think we took out so much life insurance under her name?”
“……!”
Suhyeon’s eyes shook violently. Seol Hee-nam sneered with a twisted smile.
“That was the greatest value in Oh Kyunghee’s life, so she did one last good thing. Don’t you think so?”
“You… you…”
Suhyeon panted and ground her teeth. Tears streamed down, wetting her cracked lips, but she didn’t even feel the pain.
She couldn’t believe it.
It wasn’t accidental but intentional.
“So, from the very beginning, you planned to kill Mom…”
Suhyeon clenched her teeth tightly.
“You devil!!”
Suhyeon stood up and lunged at Seol Hee-nam.
Seol Hee-nam struck her face hard again.
“Aagh!”
Suhyeon collapsed to the ground. The impact of being hit in the face consecutively made her head throb intensely.
“Ugh…”
Between her two hands braced on the ground, blood dripped steadily.
“Instead of taking it out on me, why don’t you sell yourself somewhere for the man who lost his company? After all, someone like you could still fetch a pretty high price.”
Seol Hee-nam sneered and turned away.
Wheee-oooh, wheee-oooh—
At that moment, loud sirens blared, and several cars rushed into the alley.
