The Road We Walk On

Penthouse, Hera Place

Suryeon, Yoonhee and Mari were in the Penthouse, they received a new alert of an upcoming joint press conference of Joo Dante and Cheo Seojin. The three gathered around the tv. What do you think the press conference is all about? Mari asked.

Hmmm, if I have to guess it will probably be some collaboration between Chungah Group and King's Holding. My secretary has been looking into their finances and it seems both are lacking capital.

Knowing Joo Dante, my ex-husband wouldn't let the proposal of Cheoseo District slip through his fingers. He will do whatever it takes to gain that proposal. It would be his money-maker.

Indeed, already before we were all sent to jail. Joo Dante had roped all of us into the project. With Chungah group alongside him, he will definitely be able to design that district well - and both of their companies will benefit from it all.

We must do whatever we can to stop that from happening. The moment they get that contract, it would be hard to slow their progress down.

Don't worry, we will help you Yoonhee. The more I think about it, the more I agree that once these two are gone. We can rest easy for the rest of our lives.

The press conference came onto the TV, Joo Dante and Cheo Seojin were sitting side by side, looking very much in 'love'. They announced the official partnership and collaboration between Chungah Group and King's Holding. Looks like you were right Yoonhee-ah, they are collaborating.

Why did they have to announce it in such a pompous press conference? A simple press release would have been perfectly fine. Mari complained.

They probably wanted to show us that they had joined hands. Those two have never been subtle in their wants

Hmph, showoffs. Two people who have destroyed so many lives are standing with their heads held high, it's just disgusting. The more Mari saw them, the more her anger stirred towards them, to think that her husband went to jail to cover up this man's crimes. Even now, she knew that Joo Dante did not feel guilty about all the lives he destroyed. Her resolve to bring Joo Dante down deepened. No matter what she was going to make sure her husband was on board.

For now, let's leave them alone. We can't do anything to them, but we need to create the weapons and the situation to have an upperhand. By the way, isn't your husband being released from prison today?

Yes he is Suryeon-shi. I am going to leave soon with Jenny. Even though I know you two are anxious to get him on our side, I would like him to relax with family first.

We understand Mari-shi, it has been so long since you two last saw him. Take all the time you need, the only thing you should be careful is make sure Joo Dante doesn't try to recruit him first.

Rest assured, they will have to go through me and Jenny for that to happen.

Prison, Seoul

Yeobo!!! You are here.

Dongpil did not expect Mari to actually come and fetch him, but right after he saw Mari, Jenny was standing behind her. He was stunned, when he went away to prison Mari and him both decided that it would be best to not let Jenny know of the truth.

Jenny-ah, why are you here? Dongpil desperately looks at Mari, trying to ask her what is going on with his eyes.

Hello Appa. Jenny said softly. To be completely honest, Jenny did not know that they were going to be picking Dongpil up from the prison. She assumed they would be heading for the airport. When they arrived at the prison, Mari did not say anything to her, she just said silently in the car - waiting for Dongpil to come out. Jenny quickly put the two and two together, he was not a businessman working in Dubai. He must have committed a crime and was sent to jail.

I will explain all these things later when we arrive back home. Come let us go. Mari dragged Dongpil to the car and shoved him in. She looked at Jenny and the two of them shared a silent eye contact. Jenny squeezed her mother's arm to let her know she was alright. The three of them then headed back to Hera Place.
