The Heiress

Chapter 51

"What? Did you find her?" Old Man Choi fumed as he asked his son.

It was the noon of the last day of the summit. Hours from now will be the dinner party dedicated to everyone who joined this summit.

Yet, they still could not find Wendy.

"No father. I already searched every place in this hotel as well as the bars and the lounge. No signs of her." Daniel answered, his voice solemn.

Wendy had been causing them problem after problem. He could not let that woman ruin their family anymore.

"How about the one who sent the USB? Did we hear anything from them? How about that guy on the video? Anything? CAN YOU TELL ME ANYTHING GOOD AT ALL?"

Daniel just shook his head. This was enough to tell his father that he got nothing.

"The only thing that I got was the bartender saying he saw Wendy with some guy and she became so drunk the guy had to carry her to be able to leave the place."

"And did you asked him about the appearance of the guy?" His father asked.

"The lights were dimmed so he was not able to see the face of the man. Or if he did he did not remember him." He answered. "The only reason he remembered Wendy was because she was the only one drinking red wine on that night."

Old Man Choi clenched his jaw and shoved his hands into his pockets. This was absolutely planned by someone. He could feel it.

Yet, he was not sure who would dare do this to him and his family.

"Father could this be... could this be Chaeyoung's work?" Daniel hesitantly said. He had no proof about this but his instincts were telling him that this was done by that woman.

"What for?" Old Man Choi asked. He too thought that it was Chaeyoung at first but this just did not make sense at all. "To blackmail us? Why? She could easily cancel this engagement yet she did not! What for? What is that girl planning?"

Daniel turned silent at his father's words. His father is right. What could be Chaeyoung's purpose for doing this? It should not be because of money... so why blackmail them?

"Maybe she is trying to embarrass Wendy? Maybe she is warning us that she will reveal the video if we continue with the engagement?" Daniel suggested.

"Ahhh! It does not make any sense!" Old Man Choi replied, frustration apparent in his voice. "What could be her reason for doing this?"

"Grandfather... I think... it's not her."  Miyeon spoke after watching the two for quite some time. "I don't believe she will do something without any reason at all."

"You have a point. I will agree with Miyeon this time father." Daniel said while nodding his head. Her daughter's reasoning was right. Chaeyoung would not do something that will not benefit her.

"Then who could it be? Do you think it's Aunt Laura?" Miyeon asked.

"I don't know... I know that Laura is capable of doing this but she will not. She will not touch me without Old Man Manoban's permission. Still, it does not make any sense." Old Man Choi answered.
