The Heiress

Chapter 48

***

Chaeyoung just shook her head as she watched Miyeon being dragged away by her own father.

Poor little thing. Her father, although rational, but choose the Choi Family's reputation instead of protecting her.

"Well, everyone... I believe it's time for us to continue to the next company." She said before stepping down the stage and taking her seat next to her mother in law.

"That was… unexpected." Laura said before patting Chaeyoung's back. "You did a good job. I never knew that you were this proficient in the web industry."

"Thank you. I did not expect that as well." Chaeyoung answered while looking at Old Man Choi who was walking towards the entrance, his shoulders slumped, ready to leave the hall.

This was just the start. Chaeyoung's gaze turned sharp when she thought of what the Choi Family did to her family. Especially what they had done to her grandfather.

The only good thing that had come out of this were the shares that she was able to acquire.

Chaeyoung knew that without the Choi Family's provocating deeds, she would never have had the courage to face the Choi family all by herself.

Nevertheless, this event had given her another lesson in life. Especially in her chosen path.

In the world of business, she could not trust anyone except for her family. The people who chastise you today could curry your favor tomorrow.

This was the reality in the world that she was treading. She could not just skip and dance her way to success. She needed to grow and learn these things the hard way.

Now that Miyeon was considered a walking hazard, Chaeyoung needed to double her security and be extra careful.

"Mother... I heard that Jin will accompany me after this event. Is that true?"  She asked. Now that her skills were known to the web industry, she needed to double, if not triple, her security.

For Chaeyoung, having a person like Seokjin to guard her was an additional asset. Just like Wang Bolin.

Moreover, she realized that she could not have just anyone accompany her, especially now with her grandfather still unwell.

For most people, this might sound paranoid, but for someone like Chaeyoung, this was of extreme importance. She would never become like him.

She vowed not to become like him.

Never.

Thinking of that person made Chaeyoung cringe.

How long had it been? Half a year? No... Eight Months.

Did she miss him?

Definitely.

Was she doing something about his death?

No... She was not.

She would rather fulfill her promise to him than pursue his killer.

Sensing Chaeyoung's gloomy mood, Laura immediately thought that it was because she was worried about her security.

"Aiyah... this child. Of course! Lili wanted you to be protected by someone who she would trust with his life. Stop worrying about your security. I will take care of that." Laura answered while stroking Chaeyoung's hair. Now that everyone was aware of Chaeyoung's skills, she would make sure to keep her as safe as possible.
