Absolute Advantage - Chapter 57.2

He threatened, or persuaded, the actor who accompanied Ellie at the time to imprison him instead, and completely excluded her from the investigation through all kinds of lobbying.

However, an opposition lawmaker recently brought the case to the surface to inquire about her corruption. When he turns on the TV, that’s all there is to it.

Thanks to this, Director Choi was suffering from nightmares every day.

“How do you…….”

“I have a good source.”

“!”

“Don’t  worry. I’m not here to threaten you. I’m here to tell you why you should stick to my side.”

Director Choi opened the envelope that Adam put out.

It contained a pile of papers full of accusations of school violence caused by Seo Ellie during her school days.

What? Was it just this? It was a fact that he already knew. He was very relieved, but Adam recited the thoughts in Director Choi’s head.

“It’s cute. It’s when she was a student. Maybe because she was young or what. Now, it’s easy to move on but someone can raise a public opinion.”

“What the…”

“Then what about this?”

Adam held out another envelope.

“These pictures…….”

“A photo of a hostess attached to the wives of Seohwa Welfare to get the sponsors out. They all belong to Seohwa Entertainment, didn’t you know?”

He wondered why the fiance of Seo Haewon visited him. Perhaps it was over the sponsor’s case.

He thought he would be as quiet as he was a political partner of a second-born girl who is treated like a guest. This guy, he wasn’t as normal as he thought.

The nails he was hiding were sharper than he thought. The whispering voice had the power to persuade people.

“I-if you reveal this, CEO Seo won’t stay still either.”

Are you saying you’re going to turn Chairman Seo into an enemy?

Adam only smiled at Director Choi’s weak resistance. There was definitely something more left in his eyes. Something that hasn’t been said yet.

“There’s a bigger one left.”

“A big one, what do you mean?”

There’s more to it than this?

“Should I give you a hint?”

“P-please.”

“This time, we can’t end by sending an actor to prison.”

“!”

“The police are working together to investigate the case, and my sister-in-law is also on the line.”

A joint investigation by police and prosecutors.

It was not a problem that he could solve by trying.

Should I report to Chairman Seo?

However, even if it was reported, it must have been him who sent her away. Because he was a team dedicated to owner risk.

Director Choi suddenly realized.

Now it’s time for him to jump in fire instead of Seo Ellie. Like an actor who went to jail on behalf of Ellie. He’s sure that’s why she gave him such a high salary that he has never seen in his life.

“If you can’t stop this, will Chairman Seo leave you alone?”

Adam’s voice pushed Director Choi’s back. Director Choi realized that he was gradually being pushed to the brink.

“You know well that she’s relentless with her subordinates’ mistakes, right?”

‘…….’

No matter how loyal her subordinates were, Chairman Seo Won-hee was relentless.

What if, like Adam said, there’s a problem he can’t handle? After all, Chairman Seo will hold someone accountable and the target will be himself, right?

“I’ll give you plenty of time to think.”

The grinning face was reprehensible sly. The man with gray eyes was like the demon Mephisto who seduced Faust.

“That’s before an accident happens.”

Adam left a meaningful remark and went back.

That was only a day ago, so Director Choi was still in a dilemma.

What is this? This anxiety.

It’s like the silence of the night before the storm…….

Buzz.

Then the cell phone vibrated.

“Ah.”

The cell phone slipped from Director Choi’s hand, which was in a hurry. Director Choi hurriedly fixed his cell phone and pressed the call button.

– Director Choi. Did you make up your mind?

A familiar voice.

It was Adam.

“G-give me enough time to think…….”

– I was going to. My sister-in-law had an accident earlier than I thought.

“What?”

– Seo Ellie was taken away. I’ll get in touch with you soon.

“W-was she kidnapped?!”

– The police came into the poker house.

Oh my god.

Director Choi collapsed.

He knew Ellie was gambling. However, implicitly, the gambling boards of chaebols were so it wouldn’t matter much unless the word gets out. So he was relieved.

However, if it was a surprise attack on the poker house, it could only be said that it was determined from the higher-ups. On top of that, an on-site arrest. It was also impossible to switch the blame to someone else.

– There is an opposition lawmaker who has been involved in a corruption scandal this time, just nice that his son was a regular at Poker House.

Director Choi’s eyes widened.

Apparently, Ellie was in the same boat as the opposition lawmaker now.

In this case, there was no intention to let Seo Ellie go.

– I told you, this is not big enough for you yet.
