Chapter 61.1

“…….”

Chairman Seo closed her eyes and remained silent for a while. The longer the silence, the more anxious Se-ra became. Only Haewon was confused because she didn’t know what was going on.

‘The position of trade director is the reason for the political marriage, right? I don’t know anything.’

Haewon thought.

It was not known exactly what conversations were exchanged between Chairman Seo and Vice Chairman Joo. Because the contract she received didn’t provide that kind of detail.

But every contract has its ups and downs.

“He decided to put Haewon in that position.”

Chairman Seo said with her eyes wide open.

“What?”

“Yes?”

Sera and Haewon asked back at the same time.

Because Sera’s voice was so loud, Hae-won’s voice was naturally buried, and Chairman Seo’s sharp eyes turned to Sera.

Sera kept her mouth shut.

Betrayal and anger split her mind. She couldn’t afford to lose her share.

To Seo Haewon, too!

“JS is a large company with a market capitalization of nearly 3 trillion won. How can Seo Hae-won handle that? She’s not gonna be a good owner.”

Chairman Seo’s eyes, listening to Sera, moved to Haewon.

“You say that as if I’m a close friend of yours.”

Chairman Seo said then looked at Haewon.

It’s a ridiculous sophistry.

“Mother…”

Sera’s voice trembled finely and then stared at Haewon with wide eyes. This is because she could not be angry at Chairman Seo, who is like a deity.

“Hey, Seo Hae-won. If you have a mouth, say something.”

Sera clenched her teeth and whispered.

“…….”

Haewon, frozen like ice, pressed the back of her innocent hand. She has been feeling stuffy since a while ago. Like something invisible weighs on her shoulders.

‘JS Trade Director position.’

It was a bolt from the blue for Haewon.

Hae-won, who barely came to her senses, stammered.

“Chairman, as she said, it’s too much for me. I’ve never learned anything about trade.”

“Yes, mother. And you know I’m a better option, and I’m in real control, right?”

Sera quickly continued her words.

Starting with the JS trade, the rest of the JS affiliates will be under the Seohwa Group. That was the real purpose of Chairman Seo’s arrangement for this political marriage.

By the way, pushing her out of the most important position and putting Haewon in. It was like kicking the captain out and leaving the plane to a civilian.

Above all, it was a matter of trust for Sera. When she thought that her mother might believe in Seo Haewon more than her, her voice eventually rose.

“What on earth are you thinking……!”

“Do you think I want to do that?”

Se-ra kept her mouth shut at Chairman Seo’s scolding. Her sharp reaction did not seem to be her dogma.

“Don’t complicate the situation by talking to them when your sister is already in trouble.”

“What happened to Ellie?”

Haewon stepped in cautiously.

Then Chairman Seo burst into laughter.

“You don’t know? Yeah, you shouldn’t know. I’m trying so hard not to let anyone know!”

Bang!

Chairman Seo clenched her fist and hit the desk.

‘The youngest lady is caught up in an unsavory affair.’

‘It would have been helpful if you could at least give me a word. It’s upsetting to know this from someone else, Chairman Seo.’

Chairman Seo grit her teeth as she stared into the air.

Vice Chairman Joo. You raccoon.

Chairman Seo was not used to losing. Therefore, she had no choice but to reflect on this sense of defeat longer than others.

Finally, Chairman Seo, who has recovered her mind, said nothing.

“It has already been decided. Don’t complain any more.”

She bobbed her chin outward.

“Get out, both of you.”

“……is that so?”

“What?”

Hae-won carefully asked back at Sera’s murmur. But Sera did not answer. She was pondering something on her own.

Chairman Seo, who has strong self-esteem, did not admit it in front of her daughters, but Ellie seemed to have had a significant impact on the decision by analogy with her words.

‘My mother is desperately hiding the fact of Ellie’s arrest. By the way, what if the JS side noticed? Did they use that as an excuse to threaten Mother to hand over the position of the trading director to Seo Haewon? Yeah. It would be more profitable to give it to their daughter-in-law, Seo Hae-won, rather than hand it over to me.’

Fuck.

Sera gritted her teeth.

If so, it was meaningless to plead further.

Her mother was a more practical person than anyone else. This time, she was caught by JS and stepped back.

‘There’s nothing we can do about this.’

Se-ra, who quickly grasped the situation, eased her anger. She could fully understand the decision unless it was made with more faith in Seo Hae-won than her.
