Despite the screaming and the curses thrown at him, Muyeolâs face remained impassive.
âHave you decided to throw everyone under the bus? What have you been doing behind our backs, huh? Are you not going to say anything?â Mr. Cha struck Muyeolâs head with a thick pile of documents, messing up his perfectly neat hair.
âYou b**tard! You canât satisfy me with anything you do. I donât know who you took after to turn out this sly. You deceived your grandmother and got her shares, and now youâve even taken away your own motherâs shares! There probably isnât another rascal like you in the entire world,â Mr. Cha yelled as he struck Muyeol on the head again, on the opposite side this time.
Jaeho and Heesu had delivered bad news from Istanbul this afternoon. And Mr. Cha had called Muyeol during lunch and summoned him to his office.
âWhat are you going to do now? What will you do about this immense loss youâve caused us. I allowed you to take care of this job, and you pulled such a sly move. How dare you?â Mr. Cha went on.
He tried to hit Muyeol with the files again, but Muyeol didnât allow it this time.
He grabbed Mr. Cha by the wrist. âI wasnât the one who caused it. If you want to vent your anger, why donât you call that idiot and take it out on him?â
When Muyeol received the news, his heart had sunk, too. He had known the two would cause some kind of trouble in Istanbul, but what he never expected was that they would ruin the entire contract by causing such huge trouble.
Jaeho had gone to a club and spiked a girlâs drink there. And it turned out that the girl was the daughter of one of the high-ranking employees for the company they needed to form a contract with.
Muyeolâs head was hurting from this news. That psycho couldnât control himself and did exactly what he used to do at clubs years ago. Fortunately, Jaehoâs attempt to harm the girl failed, but the consequences were brutal nonetheless.
Heesu had quickly jumped into the situation to cover up his mess, but their companyâs losses were massive. Jaeho had brought embarrassment to the whole company, and wasted all of Muyeolâs efforts in one go.
And that wasnât the end of the story. The fear of facing Mr. Cha made Jaeho take the drugs himself, and he assaulted Heesu, which led to her calling off their marriage. It only made the situation worse.
Mr. Cha was enraged. His jaw trembled as he rebuked Muyeol, âWhat are you going to do now? Even the government was expecting us to make this deal. What are we going to do with this project now?â
âWhy are you asking? You should ask that rascal about it,â snapped Muyeol.
But no one knew where Jaeho was. He was probably hiding somewhere, trying to escape from the situation.
âY-youâ You b**tard!â
âYou already knew, didnât you? You knew what kind of life he was leading, both here and in the States. Soon, weâll see the news headlines talk about how the first son of S Group was discovered in some back alley. It would either be his dead body, or him alive, but with drugs,â Muyeol spat out, his lips twisted into a sneer. âBut Iâm not going to stay still. This project is very important to me.â
âDo you really think the shareholders will vote for you next year? Especially while Iâm still alive and well?â
âTheyâll vote for me, and support me. Once they review the documents I have, theyâll loathe themselves for ever supporting you,â Muyeol said confidently.
You⦠b**tardâ¦â Mr. Cha cursed.
âThis b**tard isnât me, but you. After testing it for nineteen times, you should finally accept it now. The fact that youâre the b**tard.â Muyeol pushed Mr. Chaâs hands away.
âNow, Iâm going to go back and come up with a plan. If you interrupt meâ¦â Muyeol chuckled, âyou need to be prepared to go down.â
