Absolute Advantage - Chapter 59.1

“…….”

“…….”

Adam and Li Yu-yen eavesdropped on Chairman Seo’s conversation in the car. After no more conversations were heard, Adam took out his earphones and put them down on the console box.

“Chairman Seo’s connections are amazing, too.”

Li Yu-yen admired, yet not really admiring.

“After all, did they block the media? Director Choi would be disappointed at their ability.”

It’s none of their business. Adam added with a grin. Li Yu-yen, on the other hand, was serious.

‘Did she choose the honor of the company over her child?’

If even lawmakers were involved, the scale was large. Even if it was Chairman Seo, it would have been difficult to get only Ellie out. It was best to ask in this manner.

By the way.

“Did you know that the opposition lawmaker was also involved? Is that why you purposely staked on this?”

“Well,”

Adam pretended to be clueless.

“Chairman Seo, she’s really scary. She doesn’t even have that kind of respect for her children. What would she say to Haewon?”

“I guess you’re worried.”

“Of course I’m worried. She’s my omega.”Adam answered brazenly.

Haewon already seemed to have become an Omega in his head.

Li Yu-yen sighed deeply.

Living as a puppet of Seohwa Group or living as an omega. Which is the better future?

Li Yu-yen looked at Adam, shaking off his complicated thoughts.

“I guess Seo Ellie is done. Who’s next?”

“Seo Sera.”

“How?”

“I’ll throw the bait.”

“Bait?”

“I’m going to make a place for Seo Hae-won in JS.”

A significant smile spread around Adam’s mouth.

Adam pulled over in front of a skyscraper in downtown Seoul. He arrived at a member-operated luxury bar.

‘Is it here.’

Entering inside, Vice Chairman Joo was just emptying his fifth glass.

Adam sat in front of him, laughing inwardly at him.

“You’re here.”

“Yes, brother.”

“I must have contacted you for something to say, but I’m sorry I’m just drinking.”

“No. Rather, it’s easier to talk in a place like this.”

Adam smiled, and he was silent.

“It’s Marie’s anniversary, as things don’t work out.”

“?”

Whatever he was saying, Adam belatedly understood what the vice chairman was saying and nodded naturally.

When he first met the vice chairman, he seemed to remember that he told him any day to inquire about Marie’s death.

He can’t believe it happened today.

Actually, today was neither Marie’s death day nor anything.

But the vice chairman was undoubtedly completely absorbed in her death. He would rather be glad. No other prey is as easy to grasp and shake as an emotional man.

“It’s still clear when I first met Marie.”

The vice chairman tapped his finger on his head. Adam let his words slip into one ear with his chin on his hand.

“Do you know how I met your mother?”

“…….”

“I got one question wrong on the test, but I was afraid of being scolded by my father, so I walked around the yard. Marie looked at me and grabbed my wrist and went to the kitchen. Then she scooped up a bunch of ice cream and held it out in front of me.”

His eyes were moistened.

“I don’t know how she knew it, but she comforted me that the world doesn’t collapse by getting a few questions wrong on the test.”

“I see.”

Adam gave a compliment in a half-hearted manner.

He thought it was such a great first meeting.

“Oh, yes. Maybe I was holding the test paper. That’s probably why she did so.”

Adam grabbed the glass with one hand and shook it lightly. Large ice clattered against the glass.

“She has been on my side many times in front of my father ever since. Marie was that kind of woman. I felt sorry for my brothers who had lost their mother earlier, but I was always kind to them.”

“…….”

Adam’s hand, waving the glass, stopped.

‘Mom is really happy.’

He hears a voice in his head. At the same time, the face of the woman buried in memory came to mind.

Palely white skin, on the contrary, warm touch, gray eyes that resemble themselves.

‘I can eat delicious food with my angel and draw a lot of pictures that I like. So I’m happy.’

At that time, the woman must have shared the same soul as Marie, whom he remembered.

‘You monster…! I wish you were dead.’

But it has changed.

Something changed her. The cause of the ugly transformation of a beautiful soul Adam turned his head when he saw his face reflected in the glass.

“Marie…”

“I have something to tell you.”

Adam cut off the vice chairman’s words.

It was hard to put up with the whining of the man anymore. If he heard one more word, he felt like he would hit his head with a glass.

“Oh, yes. I talked too much about myself.”

He smiled awkwardly. Adam also said with a smile.

“I think I’m going to go to jail for my sister-in-law.”

“What…?”

The chairman ran out of drinks. The back of his head was tingling.
