Polaroid
“Don’t stare at me like that. I haven’t done anything wrong with you.”
Sunggyu said with a relaxed smile.
“Why did you send me this picture?”
The woman asked, holding a Polaroid picture in her hand.
The photo shows an elderly woman holding a child who appears to be about two years old.
“It’s a good look. It seems that the maternal grandmother really cares about the child.”
“Is that what you are going to do now? It’s your child.”
“okay. I’m sorry. I saw it once and I haven’t seen it properly yet.”
“What kind of human can threaten his child?”
“Threat? Who the hell?”
“If not intimidation, why did you send me this picture?”
The woman, Han Chae-ah, said while still glaring at Sung-gyu with sharp eyes.
“Doesn’t a child need a mother and a father too? Have you ever thought about how painful it would be for a child to grow up if his father went to jail for accusing him of s*xually assaulting his mother?”
“Anyone who commits a crime must be punished.”
Chae-ah Han said softly.
“Sin… … okay. If you commit a crime, you should be punished. But I haven’t done you wrong?”
“If you think so, the judges will make the same decision this time too.”
The woman said with a smirk mixed with laughter.
“You must remember that we had a relationship because we wanted each other? You wanted to climb a little higher.”
“That is your own opinion. I’ve only been dragged around aimlessly since I was forced by you.”
“There is no such thing as a recorder, so you can be honest. Oh, were you always recording our conversation?”
This time, Sunggyu smiled and said.
“I don’t do recordings. Did you check everything when you came in anyway? They also stole my phone.”
The two men once worked for the same purpose, but now they have no faith in each other.
Because they were suspicious of each other, even in every word they spoke, they had animosity towards each other.
“I still don’t understand. Why is that? What in the world could you gain by putting me in such a predicament in that situation?”
“It’s about surviving. I know you very well. Because I knew you were the one who wouldn’t let me get in the way.”
“It’s sad. I’ve been open to you though. Haven’t you been able to trust me that much?”
“Don’t talk nonsense. I am still throbbing here.”
Han Chae-ah looked at Sung-gyu ferociously and said while pressing her chest with her palm.
She had already been attacked over a year ago and had been stabbed to death and then resurrected.
I had to lie down in the hospital for three months, and it is true that my wounds still throb.
“It has to be wrong too. Wasn’t Kang Yu-jin a big fan of that child?”
“That kind of manipulation means nothing to you.”
She doesn’t back down at all.
“I wish I could somehow clear up the misunderstanding. I can’t even open my heart.”
“Stop talking nonsense and tell me what you’re doing.”
Chae-ah Han is sharp, of course, because of the one picture she is still holding in her hand.
I don’t know who sent it, but the man sitting in front of him is clearly the cause.
“It’s growing up so cutely.”
Sunggyu frowns and looks at the picture the woman is holding.
It took a lot of time and money to find the mother and child she had hidden.
I never thought that it would have been sent overseas.
When he found out that such an old man took his child to Japan without anyone knowing that he was going back to New Zealand via several countries such as the Philippines, Sunggyu was frankly impressed.
“What do you want?”
Chae-ah Han asked again.
“Now stop hurting each other. Don’t you have to live too? me too A child needs a father.”
“Are you sure you don’t want to join us now?”
“Why not? After all, you and I are alone.”
Shortly after Sunggyu was arrested on s*xual assault charges, he received a divorce request from his wife, whom he had married without affection.
The divorce process was quickly over, with no reason not to accept it, no desire to keep the marriage going.
“Where on earth can I trust you and be with you?”
Han Chae-ah’s question is not because she has feelings for her partner.
With the child and mother under his watch, he had no choice but to comply with any request.
From the moment she first came to this place, I had already won or lost.
“What if you can’t trust the person you want to spend the rest of your life with?”
“I have no intention of doing that with you.”
“Do I have to?”
“Whew… … .”
Han Chae-ah took a deep breath and exhaled with a sigh.
“Is it because of the trial? If that’s not the case, there’s no reason to do this, right?”
In the trial against Sunggyu, he was found guilty in the first trial, and an appeal is currently underway.
And in the recent Korean situation, the chances of Sunggyu’s victory seemed infinitely low.
“If you want an agreement, I’ll do anything.”
All they can do is make an agreement with her and shorten the sentence.
Chae-ah Han was very well aware of that fact, and will do whatever it takes to arrange the agreement for the sake of the child.
“Instead, don’t pay any more attention to me and my child.”
“It’s difficult with that. It should be a total lottery.”
“Then I will write you a petition.”
“no. don’t be like that I need something right.”
“That’s right, what are you talking about?”
“Even while we were getting along, you seem to have recorded and recorded it all.”
Sunggyu said, looking at him with bitter eyes.
“yes?”
Chae-ah Han is startled. The reason why Sunggyu was put in the courtroom was because of her recordings, and the reason they collapsed is because of the cameras installed in the newlyweds’ room.
“Will there be? Proof that I am not that person?”
Sunggyu’s face was full of strength, as if he was about to wield violence at any moment.
The woman knows how cruel this man is in reality.
“No. like that.”
But Chae-ah Han shook her head.
“great. then go We’ll never see you again.”
Sunggyu opened his face and said.
“you… … .”
Han Chae-ah couldn’t get up from her seat.
She knows that she can do anything to get that man what he wants.
Also, the fact that if you leave as it is, next time it will be something much more terrifying than a Polaroid picture like this.
“Child… … Don’t touch it. never!”
“Don’t make me feel weird again. As you said, it’s my child, so why am I tormenting him?”
“I’ll look for it.”
Chae-ah Han suddenly raised her hand. I don’t see any chance of winning the fight with that man.
“trial… … Don’t look for us again when you’re done the way you want. If you promise me that, I will try my best.”
“Is that difficult?”
Sunggyu said with a smirk again.
“I need to restore my image. To do that, I need proof that you were so surprised that I was innocent. And knowing that I will forgive you, hold the child in my arms, and smile happily.”
“This mean… … .”
“Who the hell is mean? Who was the one who tried to destroy the family of the man who loved you and send your child’s father to prison?”
Sunggyu, who had won the victory, did not hesitate to scoff at him.
“You are definitely going to hell.”
Chae-ah Han said, looking at Sunggyu like a curse.
“It’s the same. all of us leaving nothing behind haha.”
Sunggyu took a glass of wine and brought it to his lips as if he was happy.

“It is said that the chairman of the Daeyang Group came to his senses and then collapsed again.”
Eugene wasn’t surprised when John Brennan, head of the Americas Business Center, a private intelligence-gathering agency, gave the news.
It is only natural that it was not reported at all in the media, and John Brannan, who even finds out about such secret news, is no longer greatly admired.
The information network that John Brannon has built in Korea genuinely marvels Eugene by submitting evidence along with the secret lives of politicians.
“It seems he is dead. It is not clear whether he died after returning to the hospital or at home. But death is almost 90% certain.”
“Hmm. I’m sorry… … .”
Eugene wanted to see and feel the situation in which the old man who had lost his mind came to his senses.
He wished he would live long enough to see his empire completely collapse, not just for a short time.
“okay. I can’t help it.”
But I have no intention of worrying any more about what has already been done. After all, if you wake up for even one day and witness what happened, you are halfway there.
“Did I say secretary Ryu? The president’s hidden son?”
John Brennan’s Korean branch had even found out and reported that a young secretary working at the president’s home was the president’s son.
“yes. Even now, he seems to still go to work at the president’s home. And on the day the president came to his senses, he said that three people, including the president and his wife, enjoyed a meal in the dining room side by side.”
It was conceivable that some of the employees working in the house were planted by John Brennan.
“Hmm. It looks like something is about to happen. Let’s check that information more closely.”
A man who is the founder of a large group and has ruled like a dictator for decades has finally passed away.
It is quite natural for something to happen between the bereaved family.
In fact, if you count the pain Eugene has suffered in this life, the disbandment of the Daeyang Group and the arrest of the car owner is enough to relieve old feelings.
But he has no intention of being satisfied with that.
The hardships he and his family had to go through in their past lives with Daeyang cannot be compared with the luxury that the members of the Daeyang Group enjoy now.
Even if you are in prison, you will be treated incomparably with ordinary prisoners, and even if you wander abroad, you will not be able to return to your home country, but you will be enjoying luxury to your heart’s content.
Moreover, Ryu Seong-gyu seems to be enjoying himself by occupying a luxury club in Gangnam while continuing his appeal.
Eugene’s punishment is not over yet. No, I can’t see it even started yet. All of them must feel the real despair.
“I will. For the time being, we will focus our resources on the Daeyang Group.”
“There is no need for that. You just need to be a little more careful than you are now.”
John Brennan’s running an intelligence agency isn’t just for Eugene’s private revenge.
This is to provide various information necessary for investment and management of many companies Eugene is involved in.
Even now, a lot of information collected by the institution has been provided to the investment institutions of Joanna and Williams, helping them to invest.
And Eugene is a person of reason enough to maintain a balance between personal feelings and the resources needed for the business.
