Evelina stood in somber silence within the confines of Mr. Hong's establishment, observing as her husband engaged in conversation with the disgruntled businessman. Mr. Hong's fury was palpable, growing more intense as he witnessed Vincenzo maintain a composed demeanor.
"Mr. Cho was coerced into signing the contract," Vincenzo calmly expressed, fixing his gaze upon the seething figure before him.
With an audible scoff, Mr. Hong retorted disdainfully, "Coerced? My word! That was quite a spectacle you managed to orchestrate. You and your associates are truly remarkable; yet here I find myself questioning why such childishness persists."
Voicing his frustration through sudden actions that startled Evelina, Vincenzo abruptly rose from his seat. His wife regarded him curiously while suppressing a hint of amusement evident through her slight curling lips and gleaming emerald eyes. Nearby sat Ms. Hong Cha-young, leisurely sipping on her beverage and smirking knowingly.
"Perché non si fida di me?"
"As you indulge in conversing in Italian," she remarked with a taunting smile playing upon her lips, "one can only assume that feelings of guilt are deeply rooted within."
Vincenzo swiftly turned his attention towards Cha-young and admonished tersely, "Stai zitto!"
Amusingly remarking upon his choice of words, Cha-young quipped back without missing a beat: "It sounds remarkably like cursing to my ears."
Vincenzo's eyes rolled in exasperation before he turned his gaze towards Mr. Hong, a man whose presence had become a constant source of irritation for him. "Ponder this, if I truly sold the building, why would I still be lingering here? Naturally, I would seize the opportunity to abscond with the money and seek refuge abroad."
"That is indeed logical," Mr. Nam acquiesced before being swiftly silenced by an indignant bark from Mr. Hong.
Fixing Vincenzo with a piercing stare conducive of judgement, Mr. Hong then uttered words that were laced with disdainful superiority, their effect palpable in the tense air around them. "Return to your country and cease your tiresome disruptions. Babel E&C, Babel Pharmaceuticals, Wusang Law Firm—each one holds no value or worth whatsoever. In fact, just leave altogether; all four of you."
Cha-Young regarded her father incredulously as she found herself unintentionally caught in this verbal crossfire thrust upon her family by Mr. Hong's venomous comments. The audacity was almost unfathomable.
"I do not expect unwavering trust from any of you," Vincenzo stated calmly but resolutely amidst the escalating tension within the room.
"Rest assured though that I shall endeavor to regain control over this very building." With those measured words hanging in the air like an unspoken promise, Vincenzo proceeded to exit while Evelina followed his suit after expressing gratitude through a respectful bow directed at Mr. Hong.
