My Husband's Scandal

Chapter 3: The Price of Silence

Yoon's steps were exceedingly urgent as he entered the hotel restaurant. As soon as he was led to the room, he flung the door open without a knock.

Inside the room, Kim Seo Jung, dressed in refined attire, sat with poise.

"You're late."

"Please sort out the house problem."

Without even sitting down, Yoon hastily began to speak.

"It depends on what you do."

Yesterday was the day Yoon's family moved. They packed their things early in the morning and arrived at the new house. However, when they tried to open the front door, it wouldn't open.

They had certainly cleaned the house the day before, and there was no reason for the passcode to have been changed. So they called the landlord, but only a disconnected tone sounded.

Getting a bad feeling, they ran around and found out that there was a different landlord. In short, they had been scammed. Ho Sik and Ok Soon could only sit down right there.

The documents were so perfect that anyone could have been fooled, causing even real estate agents to shake their heads.

Moreover, they thought they had signed the contract through a real estate agency, but the scammer had tried to save the agency fee and even coaxed Ho Sik, making it impossible to receive compensation.

Therefore, Yoon's family was now in a situation where they had to sit on the street. They stored their luggage in a truck borrowed from a hardware store and lodged the two in a nearby inn.

They reported to the police, but it was only daunting whether they could catch the scammer somewhere.

While Yoon was running around today, he received a call from Kim Seo Jung's secretary. The secretary just told him the location and hung up the phone.

"Where is that scammer?"

"What are you talking about?"

"Why on earth are you doing this to us?"

Yoon's body trembled with rage.

"Get married."

"I'm... I'm going to report to the police."

"I don't understand what you're saying at all. What are you accusing me of doing? To a person who's offering to help you."

Seo Jung shrugged it off.

"Ha....."

What kind of money was it? It might have been a mere pittance for them, but it was money Ho Sik, who worked as an apartment guard, and Ok Soon, who cleaned buildings, had painstakingly saved up.

It was money they had scrimped and saved for almost two years, not eating, not spending, to look less shabby to their granddaughter's boyfriend.

"Just by getting married?"

In the face of Seo Jung's ruthlessness, going so far as to meddle in this, Yoon asked out of desperation.

Then Seo Jung thrust a photo in front of Yoon.

"You're starting to talk sense now. As I said before, it's Executive Director Cha Yu Hyun from Woo Sung Construction. He'll solve the house problem right away."

"Why are you doing this to me now? Didn't we cut ties?"

Yoon, who had run straight to the beach city immediately after dawn 10 years ago, fainted right in front of Ho Sik and Ok Soon.

It was due to the sudden release of tension. Yoon, who was immediately admitted to the hospital, was diagnosed with malnutrition.

Ho Sik and Ok Soon were also greatly shocked when their granddaughter, whom they hadn't seen for two years, turned up looking like she hadn't had a decent meal.
