Chairman Jo Seokhwan of NewLike Group.

    A man who had taken over the weakened company from his father after a series of management failures, transforming it into one of the top five conglomerates in South Korea. With his polished appearance and unblemished reputation, Seoyeon knew only the most public aspects of his life.@@@@

    There was, however, one widely known personal detail: his late wife had been Baek Seoran, once hailed as Korea’s “Nation’s Little Sister” and a celebrated actress. Tragically, she had passed away not long after their marriage, leaving him to raise their children alone.

    "But why is a conglomerate chairman here?"

    Seoyeon couldn’t help but feel tense.

    And she wasn’t the only one—Ji Yeon was visibly stiff beside her.

    Who wouldn’t be? They had come to visit a friend, only to be greeted by a man of such stature.

    What made it worse was his silence as he invited them inside.

    The thought sent a shiver down her spine.

    Now, seated in the grand living room of the Jo residence, Seoyeon and Jiyeon found themselves face-to-face with Chairman Jo.

    Their usual greeter, the friendly housekeeper Han Seoyoung, was silently tidying up the room.

    The tension was palpable.

    "Is he going to confront me about what happened to Seohui?"

    Seoyeon’s mind raced with all the possible things he might say.

    This wasn’t just about a scene—it was a potential disaster waiting to unfold.
