Chapter 34

At the Jeon mansion, Mrs. Min hurriedly sat Tae on the couch as he entered the living room.

“Master Jungkook prepared a gift for you, Sir.”

Mrs. Min opened up the white gift box on the table, revealing the exquisite white gown.

“Are you sure he gave this to me?” Tae said as he looked at the gown in disbelief.

“Yes, Sir. There’s a dinner tonight that you need to go to with Master Jungkook. There are shoes, too!” Mrs. Min explained, then opened up another box carrying a pair of fine stilettos.

Tae picked up one of the heels and stared at it with apprehension.

“Why is he taking me? I don’t know any of his friends. Isn’t he worried I’d embarrass him?”

“I’m sure he has his reasons,” Mrs. Min replied, “Move on from the past, Sir, and just spend the rest of your days happily with Master Jungkook.”

Tae looked up at Mrs. Min and then said, “Do you think he’s moved on? We still don’t know what his real intentions are for taking me out tonight!”

“Sir… Was the baby you were carrying before really Mr. Nic’s? I didn’t think you’re that kind of man,” Mrs. Min said.

Tae lowered his gaze and said, “That’s all in the past. Let’s not talk about it anymore.”

Then, he took the gown out of the box and said, “I’ll go try it on.”

“Alright,” replied Mrs. Min.

Tae arrived at Florrance Villa that evening. He walked into the banquet hall dressed in his new, ivory gown.

Under the light of the grand crystal chandelier, he looked like a mystical fairy that had mistakenly wandered into the human world.

All eyes were on him.

“Who is that? He’s stunning! Why haven’t I seen him before?”

“I think he’s the Kim family’s eldest son,Kim Taehyung. You know, from the soon-to-be bankrupt Kim Industries?”

“Oh! Now that you mention it, I kind of remember hearing something about that. What’s he doing here? Who invited him? That dress he’s wearing looks like the latest haute couture from Shanel. Is he that rich?

The crowd engaged in a fevered discussion as their eyes continued to follow him.

Tae glanced around the hall but did not see a trace of Jungkook.

His feet were beginning to feel sore from his high heel boot, so he found an empty seat and sat down.

A few people approached him as soon as he rested himself on the chair.

“Mr. Kim, is the suit you’re wearing Shanel haute couture?”

Tae glanced down at his dress.

Was it not just a typical suit?

Was it actually haute couture?

“Is something the matter?” he asked.

“I doubt you can afford haute couture now with your family facing bankruptcy. What I’m trying to say is… Wearing a knockoff to an event like this is pretty humiliating, no?”

–

“If that’s the case, I’d be the one humiliated. What does that have to do with you?”

The two women next to him burst into mocking laughter upon hearing his answer.

It was their first time seeing someone wear a knockoff with such arrogance!

“Do you have an invitation, Mr. Kim? I bet you don’t. How did you get in here?”

Tae glanced coldly at the women and said, “With my own capability.”

His answer was like a hard slap in the face to his audience.

Very quickly, the crowd’s eyes shifted to his feet which were encased in a pair of rare stilettos.

They looked like limited edition Armeses.

“Did you get a sugar daddy, Miss Kim?”

The authenticity of luxury items could not escape the eyes of the truly wealthy.

The gown and heels that Tae was wearing were obviously the real deal.

From head to toe, his outfit was worth more than three hundred thousand dollars.

“That’s right! Otherwise, how would someone of my lowly status get into a banquet filled with rich people like you?” Tae said, mocking himself.

Everyone immediately saw him in a different light. “Who’s your sugar daddy? If he’s so generous with you, he must be some powerful bigshot!”
