Place In The Sun (On-Hold)

"As you all know, there are legal rules in becoming a part of Hera Club. One of it is giving donations to Hera Palace, as set by Joo Dantae."

Suryeon subtly glanced at Dantae, indicating that he was actually the one who set the rules for Hera Club. Seojin hasn't noticed as she was busy glaring at the unbothered Yoonhee, and stealing glances at her ex-husband who seemed calm about everything.

"Yes, what about it, Suryeon-ssi?"

"Well, Yoonhee has donated a large amount to Hera Palace so I am planning to make her a member of the Hera Club."

Seojin instantly snapped her head towards Suryeon, a mix of anger and fear in her eyes. Anger because of Yoonhee's presence, and fear because she does not know what is going on inside Suryeon's smart mind.

"What?! You can't just do that!"

"That is why all of you are here. We, as the members of Hera Club, has to decide whether or not she should be part of us."

Suryeon, once again, calmly answered the raging lady. Truth to be told, she was actually enjoying this— Seojin loosing her cool just because of Yoonhee.

Who would've thought that the fierce and arrogant Prima Donna, who always have her head held up high, would get so worked up and furious at the sight of someone? Suryeon now wonders what Yoonhee has to make Seojin act like this.

"Well then, let's vote for this."

Yoonchul spoke, smiling at Yoonhee. Seojin just got more enraged at this sight, you could see her knuckles turning white from how hard she balled her fists.

"Who's in favor of letting Oh Yoonhee be a part of Hera Club?"

"Before we vote, can we know how much she gave?"

"5 million dollars."

Everyone almost choked on their own saliva after hearing the answer, staring at Yoonhee who was just busy looking around.

Seojin was the one who couldn't believe it the most, especially because she knew who Yoonhee was before and what society she lives in. She was a part of the lower-class back then, and even had a hard time to support herself financially. How could she be this rich right now?

"What?! There must be some sort of misunderstanding, Suryeon-ssi. She might have faked everythi—"

"Are you saying that the security of Hera Palace can't take care of such small matters, Seojin-ssi?"

Suryeon answered back with conviction on her voice this time, indicating that Seojin had crossed a line.

The tension was rising up once again, and the twins who were hiding inside their room could feel it.

"Seokhoon-ah, eomma is mad, isn't she?"

"She's not mad, she's just asserting dominance. She's the lady of the Penthouse, afterall..."
