Chapter 22.2

“He’s an omega, but he treats me like shit.….”

When Ellie returned home, she screamed and threw her handbag.

She’s been into illegal gambling lately. She had been crazy about sex and alcohol, and this time she even gambled everything to win the triple crown.

Unlike Sera, who grew up playing an exemplary lady in her own way as the eldest daughter, Ellie grew up causing all kinds of accidents from an early age. In order to deal with Ellie’s accident, a team dedicated to owner risk was created in Seohwa Group.

‘Starting today, Ellie will be the CEO of Seohwa Entertainment.’

‘Really, Mother? I’ll do my best! I won’t let you down.’

For Ellie, the entertainment business was indeed a gold mine. Omegas who were obedient to her, the pouring spotlight, and the dizzying party.

Stimulation. Stimulation. Stimulation.

Ellie proudly boasted a saga that even people in the same industry would balk at, and followed all the evil customs.

Then everything went futile. To be precise, she needed a more considerable stimulus – beyond the stimuli she had so far.

Then, what she found was gambling.

The pleasure of putting a large sum of money on the line that others can barely save after years of work. Of course, for Ellie, who has lived her entire life as a third-generation conglomerate, even that was a small sum of money.

Therefore, the stimulation that the brain accepts has doubled as the risk gets bigger and more money comes in.

‘Mr. Lee is having a poker meeting this time, so I think I can find a seat for you if you want. The World Series champion is also participating. I’m letting you know specifically.’

Mr. Lee ran a poker house for the sons of chaebols in Korea, and held a unique poker game for the VVIP once a year.

Only invited people could enter because they brought famous foreign actors, poker champions, and sports stars and proceeded with higher stakes than usual.

Ellie just got into poker but somehow wanted to join the game. The problem was that the stakes were more than she thought.

That’s why she visited Haewon today.

“Damn that bitch.”

Ellie called somewhere after reflecting on the humiliation she had suffered from Adam.

“Please put together a list of people who are sponsoring Seohwa Welfare. By today.”

I’m going to cut all your money today, so be prepared. We’ll see how long you’ll be standing high.

Ellie glared into the air and gritted her teeth.

“I backed up Chairman Joo Pil-tae’s medical records that you said you needed last time.”

“Yes.”

“We have also secured a certain amount of evidence that slush funds were raised in JS Steel, which is operated by Joo Nam.”

“Yes.”

“As you said, he established a paper company in Belgium. How did you know? I thought it would be Switzerland.”

“Yes.”

Adam answered half-heartedly as he lay down, completely filling the three-person sofa.

Was he even listening to it? Li Yu-yen looked at Adam, who was hanging like a jobless man, and then changed the subject.

“Aren’t you going to meet her today?”

“Who?”

He seems to be listening.

“Seo Haewon.”

“Oh.”

Adam lamented as if he had just recalled the existence of Haewon. In fact, after being kicked out like that, he kept thinking about that day.

“It seemed like you two often met for a while. Didn’t you mean to keep a good relationship?”

“I’m sick of it.”

Adam rolled over.

When he saw the back of Adam, who seemed particularly lonely today, his heart was filled with grief and joy.

“It looks like someone who’s sick of it got dumped.”

“Who? Me?”

Adam leapt to his feet at Li Yu-yen’s provocation.

“I wasn’t dumped. Haewon and I are getting married, and she says she’ll take responsibility for me like a habit every day.”

Adam answered triumphantly

“It’s an arranged marriage, so it’ll be like that.”

Li Yu-yen shrugged his shoulders.

Then he asked back with a serious look.

“You two didn’t really fight, did you?”

Adam always had a blank expression on his face as if he had no intention of answering.

“But I think it’s good to talk face to face once a week. Did you exchange numbers? What about any text messages?”

“Don’t act like an employee of a marriage information company.”

“It’s better to keep a good relationship with her if you don’t want to have any problems with your future plans.”

“Ha. Says the one who said I shouldn’t meet her.”

“You met her anyways. I’m telling you to do well.”

“I’ll take care of it.”

Adam swung his arms as if he didn’t want to say more.

Why is he so upset?

Since his last visit to Haewon, Adam has been in a bad mood. Did Seo Haewon take the initiative? He doesn’t think so.

“She’s pretty cute, too.”

Li Yu-yen looked at Adam’s new expression.

“Ugh. Could you please stop confessing all of a sudden? I’m not interested.”

He continued, saying he was really going to puke.
