Chapter 47.1
Absolute Advantage
âWhat the hell is going on?â
Bora immediately found out the identity of the alienation.
Her face turned pale when she unintentionally overheard Adam and Louis talking.
âOh, really? Haewon must have paid you a lot of attention.â
âYes, she introduced the lawyer to me and provided me with a consultation space.â
âMy Haewon is always kind. Itâs not just for you, so thereâs nothing special to think about.â
This hostile atmosphere!
In Boraâs eyes, Adam and Louis were like Doberman and a deer hamster with a loose leash.
âL-Louis!â
At Boraâs cry, Louis raised his head and opened his eyes wide, and Adam leaned on the back of the chair and looked at her indifferently.
âAn intruder appeared.â
Adam clicked his tongue inside.
âIâve got to go now.â
Then Adam rose to his feet.
âAre you leaving already?â
âAnything else to say?â
Adam smiled and retorted Louisâ piercing gaze. Thereâs nothing more to say on this side.
âS-sir. No outsiders are allowed on the second floor.â
As she told him, Bora interrupted and muttered. Adam looked upset at Bora, who blocked Louis as if she protected him.
âAm I an outsider, too? Iâm Haewonâs fiancé.â¦.â
âWhat? Oh, I didnât meanâ¦â¦.â
âJust kidding.â
Adam smiled cheerfully.
That cold smile again.
The word âdouble swordâ was perfect.
Bora stood with more force on her shoulders and was wary of Adam. If she looked away for a moment, she thought Louis, an angel, would be crushed by the evil manâs thumb.
Adam, on the other hand, had lost his fighting spirit.
Sheâs Haewonâs secretary whoâs wary of him. Louis hid behind a woman and felt like he was the only fool to deal with more.
âThen you two have a nice talk.â
Adam pushed the chair in and turned his back.
As Adamâs footsteps became completely distant, Bora secretly looked back at Louis.
âNo matter how I look at it, his eyes were wary of Louis.â
Well, heâs not just a man, and heâs also the same omega so that he might be wary. Is that why he came here on purpose? Bora rolled her eyes in agony.
âDid I make a mistake?â
Then Louis asked stealthily.
Bora shook her head in amazement when she saw the big eyes looking at her.
âNo! It must be jealousy.â
âJealous?â
âYes, her fiancéâ¦â¦ Ah! This is a secret.â
Bora shut up in a hurry.
âItâs okay. He told me directly.â
âOh, really?â
Louis smiled and nodded.
âIâm not going to tell anyone, so donât worry. I donât want CEO Seo to be in trouble. Sheâs my benefactor.â
Louis added, clenching his fists.
âOh, you too, Secretary Lim! And the lawyer. There are so many people Iâm thankful for in Seohwa Welfare.â
âLouisâ¦â
Boraâs heart ached with emotion.
How can Louis be so kind? She felt like she was watching the acceptance speech of the year-end award ceremony.
And because of this, in Boraâs head, Adam became the No. 1 alert.

âYouâre here?â
Li Yuyen glanced at Adam sitting in the back seat through the rearview mirror. They were about to get out of the car together, but an informant called and left Adam alone and waited.
âSomething must have happened inside.â
âNothing has happened.â
When Li Yu-yen asked, looking at Adamâs expression, Adam replied sourly.
âHow do you feel about meeting your rival in person?â
âHeâs just a stupid omega. Itâs as we looked into it.â
Li Yu-yen added, turning backward.
âEven a background checkâ¦.â
âIt would be difficult if he contacted Seo Hae-won for an impure purpose.â
Adam said, looking toward the Seohwa Welfare building. Li Yu-yen looked at Adam with stern eyes and straightened himself up.
âYou can ask me to do that.â
âI want to take care of Haewon myself.â
Adam smiled and changed the subject.
âWhatâs the source?â
âThe location and date of the poker game have been set.â
It was Mr. Leeâs poker competition, where Ellie even tried to participate by borrowing money from Haewon.
Ultimately, she could not borrow money from Haewon due to Adamâs interference, but Adam later conceded to investors and collected the necessary stakes.
Finally, the stage and the actor are ready.
âIâll contact the gambling team myself.â
Li Yu-yen glanced sideways at Adam in the room mirror and asked secretly.
âThe Seohwa group must be reeling from this. Then wonât JS reconsider the marriage of politics?â
âHe canât.â
Adamâs voice was firm.
âMy older brother needs the Seo-Hwa group.â
Adamâs eyes narrowed.
While Chairman Joo Pil-tae was in a coma, the vice-chairman was acting as the worldâs only filial son and laying the foundation for his support behind him.
The first was an alliance with the Seohwa group through an arranged marriage.
âSo they joined hands with Seohwa?â
âYes.â
âThey didnât know that Seohwa was a ship that was going to sink.â
âHa ha.â
The mastermind who would sink the Seohwa Group burst into laughter.
Before long, the black sedan rode out of the parking lot. But it wasnât the JS Atrium where the car headed.
