The Heiress

Chapter 18

***

An uneasy tension settled over Henry and Yuri as they stared into each other.

Henry Lee's face is placid, devoid of any reactions. While Yuri's face is full of questions.

Sunmi shifted uncomfortably. She already told Yuri about Henry Lee and to her surprise, Yuri did not react harshly. To be specific she did not have any reactions at all.

Maybe it is the fact that Yuri grew up without Jacob by her side. Or maybe because she never really sees Jacob as a father. Sunmi's doesn't really know.

Yuri is just calmly looking at Henry. She examined the man from head to toe.

Henry Lee is a very handsome man for his age. His black flecked hair was close-cropped. His face looks smooth as if he just shaved it. Although he looked calm and collected, Yuri can still see the fierceness in his eyes.

Her mother told her that this Henry has some shady connections. Because of this, Yuri was expecting a pale tattooed guy with a long hair. But no, Henry seemed to look like that exact opposite of her expectations. He look a Politician in a suit or someone from the military. Someone with authority.

"So you're my true father?" She asked, her voice soft and gentle. Her mother told her that her father is an influential man. She needs to have her father's favor. She could use him as a backer.

She never wondered why Sunmi didn't marry this guy in spite of his good looks. Yuri knows how much her mother loved Jacob Park.

"Hmmm... According to your mother." He affirmed, his face did not have any changes. This meeting with Sunmi and Yuri is not in his plans, but the current situation is calling for it.

Although he hated this mother and daughter pair, he hated Chaeyoung more. He could not allow her to be happy.

This is his payback. A long overdue payback for what her father did.

Yuri just nodded then she took another sip from the iced tea in front of her. They are currently in a private restaurant that is said to be owned by her father.

"So-"

"Your birthday is two months from now?" Sunmi's attempt at making a conversation was interrupted by Henry.

"Yes." Yuri nodded.

"Good. Then I want you to perform well on the farewell presentation of your school- hmmm... that's a day after your party."

Yuri furrowed her brow when she heard her father's statement. Perform well? She couldn't even leave the house from embarrassment. How is she going to perform in front of everyone?

Seeing Yuri's expression, Henry's face still didn't show any reactions at all.

"I want you to impress Manoban" Henry commanded while ignoring the questions in Yuri's eyes. "Take her away from Chaeyoung."

"But-"

"I did not allow you to speak." He growled. He hated Sunmi and this Yuri but he does not have a choice. He needed them.

Although he is very irritated right now, the thought of killing this stupid pair after this is, somehow making him calm.

"I already called a talent agency. They will watch the presentation and will ask you to sign with them after the event." He said. His tone still low and dangerous. "Do not mess this up." He added before getting up and sauntering his way out of the room.
