Absolute Advantage - Chapter 80.1

The building that hung high in the sky looked like a monster with its mouth wide open after catching prey. The interior of the building was exceptionally cold, so it felt like stepping on an ice castle.

Click, click.

The sound of Haewon’s heels echoed calmly in the spacious first-floor hall.

Hae-won arrived in front of the chairman’s office with determination, who went inside, bowed her head.

“You’re here.”

Chairman Seo said in a casual tone.

As she raised her head, Chairman Seo, Sera, and Kim Byun were sitting on the sofa. Her body instinctively shrank in a heavier atmosphere than usual.

Haewon clenched her fist as hard as she could to resist the atmosphere.

Her nails dug into the soft flesh, but this much was not even in pain. It was nothing compared to the pain ahead.

She didn’t arrive here without thinking about anything today.

By whatever means she can, she wants to protect Adam.

The situation was not as bad as she thought.

No, returning was a very favorable situation for Haewon.

So the moment she was worried that it might be a trap, she realized anew that it was a plan from the beginning.

“M-mother. What do you mean?”

“Kim Byun. Say it again.”

Chairman Seo looked at Kim Byun.

“From today, we have decided to transfer some of the stocks owned by Miss Ellie to Miss Haewon. First, starting with Seohwa Entertainment,”

“I don’t understand why you are doing this…!”

Sera, who was raising her voice, closed her mouth when she saw Chairman Seo’s face.

“There is a justification.”

Chairman Seo continued in a calm voice.

“If the marriage is successful, who will come and go with the JS group in the future?”

“……Seo Hae-won, I guess.”

Sera answered, biting her teeth. Chairman Seo nodded once and asked Haewon.

“Moreover, she will take the position of JS Trade Director. I have to support you so that you can make a loud impact. Isn’t that right, Haewon?”

“Are you saying that you’re going to take Ellie’s things and give it to her?”

Sera intercepted Haewon’s answer.

Chairman Seo, who became uncomfortable, narrowed her eyebrows. But Sera couldn’t afford to care about that.

“Did you talk to Ellie? Does she know?”

When Sera felt it was unfair as if it was her job, Chairman Seo raised one eyebrow as if she did not understand. It was a look at whether that was important now.

“Are you done with what you have to say?”

Chairman Seo asked implicitly.

“Even though children are children for life, it’s ugly to see you whine at that age.”

Chairman Seo clapped her tongue.

Hae-won, who was watching the scene, picked up a pen as words slipped out of her mouth.

“Do I just sign here?”

“What? Are you crazy?”

Sera jumped up and took away the transfer contract in front of Haewon.

“What are you doing now?”

“M-mother……. I-I’m not convinced..”

Her eyes, trembling as she looked at Chairman Seo, unlike when it flashed sharply as she headed to Haewon.

“What did she do for Seohwa?”

“That’s why I’m giving her a chance now. The opportunity to be loyal to Seohwa.”

Chairman Seo’s voice, whose patience has reached its limit, has become stern. Sera bit her lip indignantly.

“I will try to live up to your expectations. Before that, I’d like to ask you a favor. I couldn’t tell you because I didn’t have much time at the time,”

“You’re going to put a condition on this topic now?”

Sera cut in Haewon’s words. Did she eat something wrong? It was ridiculous.

On the other hand, Chairman Seo was a little surprised by the unexpected situation, but showed no signs of anger.

Chairman Seo stared at Hae-won with eyes telling her to say something.

“Please do not have any plans for a child.”

Chairman Seo’s eyebrows wiggled. Sera reacted more intensely than her mother.

“Hey, are you crazy? Are you going to take all the company? Mother, did you hear her? She’s out of her mind. I thought she’s quiet, but she’s a tiger cub.”

“Be quiet. Sera.”

Chairman Seo gave a cold cry. And she asked Hae-won in a serious tone rather than when dealing with Sera.

“Give me a reason to persuade me.”

Chairman Seo stared at Haewon with fierce eyes. As if she’s not going to let it go if it’s a lame reason.

“If I have a child, I don’t have the confidence to live by deceiving the fact that I’m an omega. Someday I’ll want my child, too.”

“You want your own child…. As a fate of a lowly Omega.”

Chairman Seo laughed at Haewon as if she knew it would happen.

“Haewon, no matter how hard you try, you can’t resist your nature.”

Chairman Seo’s words touched her heart like a dagger.
