Eun-sun stilled when she heard the man's threat. Cold blood ran through her head in an instant. She could not believe what he had said. Was he threatening her with Dan-Han's position?
She peered at him to be sure he was joking, but from his stoic look, she was convinced he wasn't. He was for real.
She continued to stare at the man who was giving her a death look, and she wondered if he was the same man she had seen when Mrs Lee was alive. She already knew the man's animosity towards her, but she didn't think he'd take it this far. Against his son?
"So you'll take the company from him if I don't leave?" She asked, but he mocked her with a scoff.
"I'm not the one taking it away from him. You are. The decision is up to you." He said. "Will you let go, or will you let your selfishness cost him his inheritance?" He asked.
Her selfishness? Eun-sun could not believe him. She was the selfish one?
"You can't take the company away from him. He has worked hard for it." She told him. He agreeably nodded as he picked up his glass and took a sip.
"Then it's up to you to ensure his efforts doesn't go to waste."
"Yo...you can't do to this to Dan-Han. He's your son." She didn't think she had to remind him that.
"You can't take the company away from Dan-Han. No one can." She said as a matter of factly. She knew the man she was in love with. He wasn't someone anyone could mess with. Not even his father. His father was no match for him. "Dan-Han won't let you do that." She firmly declared, making father Lee narrow his brows at her.
"You seem to forget I own the company, and I made him-"
"No one made Lee Dan-Han." She interjected him. Father Lee was surprised to hear her sound this way.
"Young Lady-"
Eun-sun cut him short. "With all due respect, sir, I think you've gone too far this time." She firmly told him. "You can insult me just as you've always done, talk down on me because I hail from a poor home, but you're not allowed to lay a hand on Dan-Han or his company, even if you're his father. And I'll be clear with you; I'll not leave Lee Dan-Han except he asks me to. So, I'll advise you to take back your threats to me because, as you already know, I'm a criminal's daughter and threats are a norm to me." She brazenly said. Father Lee calmly stared at her as she spoke. He'd admit he didn't know she had this side to her. He was amused by her brazenness, or rather her stupidity.
She put the file down on his desk. "I do not intend to be disrespectful because my mother thought me better than that, and secondly, I love Auntie and your son. So please do not threaten me again, as I might lose whatever iota of respect I still have for you. I'll take my leave." She said and bowed to him. She has had enough of his derogatory attitude.
"You have until next weekend." He said as she turned to leave. Eun-sun glanced back at him, and they both held each other gaze for a while before she walked away.
Eun-sun let out the breath she had not been holding the moment she walked out of sight. She felt like she hadn't breathed in the last few minutes. She turned to look at the compound she had just walked out from, and she couldn't believe what had happened. As a matter of fact, she couldn't comprehend all that had happened in the last six hours.
Really? She had to leave Dan-Han too? Really?
Why were things always going south for them, for her? Does she have to make another sacrifice again? Hasn't she been making too many?
The universe must really have something against her. Did she perhaps commit a huge sin in her former life? Maybe, betrayed her country?
In the space of ten years, a lot has happened, but it was nothing compared to all she has faced in the last two months.
But come what may, she was not going to leave Dan-Han. Never!
...
"Hei-Ran, you should rest a bit. You're only going to figure things out when your brain is well-rested and active. Right now, you're burnt out." Jin-Hai said for the umpteenth time through the phone, but the girl wouldn't even look at him. This was the third he was calling her on a video call, but she was still seated in the same place working in the last three hours. He has been trying to get her off the files she has been reading for hours.
"Jin-Hai, you're disturbing me." She said without looking at his face displayed on the screen of her phone.
"Su Hei-Ran, I'll head over to your house right now, if you don't-"
"I will Jin-Hai, but not now." She hissed.
"Not now?" The man raised a brow at her.
She finally looked at him. "Yes. My mind won't be at peace if I don't figure things out. I keep having this feeling like something huge is coming, and A-Yeong's countenance at my office the other day makes me feel uneasy."
"You still want to get back at her?" He asked.
Her eyes darted away from him as she fell into thoughts. "I want to." She said. "A-Yeong did hurt me a lot, but right now, I think there's more to this." Jin-Hai knotted his brow in confusion.
"What do you mean?" He asked.
"When she came to my office, she looked like she was in trouble, and that shipment was the only thing that could save her."
"So?"
"So, what if these thing goes beyond A-Yeong but can also affect the company and my family. Grandfather has worked hard for the company, and as much as I want to teach that spoilt brat a lesson, I don't want her getting hurt. She's still a Su."
Jin-Hai understood what she was saying. "So what exactly do you have? Maybe I can help you."
Hei-Ran picked up a file and held it in front of the screen. "She has been sending large sums of money to one offshore account for a very long time. And I think whoever she's afraid of must be the owner of that account. But I've not been able to trace it."
"Okay, send me what you've got. I have some contacts that can help us." He said while she nodded and thanked him.
"When does the shipment arrive?" He asked.
"This weekend." She told him.
"Tell me when it does. We'll go check out what's in it."
