Ming made her way from her room to her mother's, responding to the summons from Yeonwha. The message that her mother had something to discuss had piqued her curiosity.Given that both parties had already taken the antidote and were no longer poisoned, a meeting was not only possible but safe. Even if they had still been affected by the poison, the immunity provided by the antidote allowed for contact within a certain time frame. This understanding of their safety allowed for the meeting between mother and daughter.With both individuals having taken the antidote, there was no issue of contact or safety between them.Yet, the act of being summoned by her mother was indeed unusual for Ming. It was a rare occurrence for Yeonwha to reach out to her daughter with a request to meet. Typically, it was Ming who sought out her mother, visiting her room, and not the other way around. The unexpected nature of the summons added an air of intrigue to the upcoming meeting, as Ming ventured into the

Wingyu's eyes narrowed as he maintained a steadfast gaze on Yen. The notion of giving Ming to him if he was tired of her lingered in his mind like an unsettling echo.His expression turned into a deep frown as he posed a question, his voice laced with defiance. "And what are you planning to do if I don't release her to you? She remains my daughter, and I can certainly do as I please with her, including keeping her confined."Yen remained unyielding in the face of Wingyu's challenge. He responded with a cold, unwavering tone, "As you said, she remains your daughter. So you're welcome to do whatever you want with her. This isn't the first time you've done something like this, after all."The room fell into an uncomfortable silence as Yen's last words hung in the air, leaving everyone present bewildered. The room's occupants exchanged glances, wondering if there were hidden secrets between Yen and Wingyu that had been concealed from them.Before anyone could utter a word, Yen pressed on,

"Well, death it is," and brandished a menacing dagger. The atmosphere grew even more intense in the room as the scene unfolded.Puck!The dagger pierced Yen's heart, causing immense pain. Despite his agony, Yen uttered a surprising phrase, "Thank you," expressing gratitude to the man who had just stabbed him.The burly figure, confirmed to be the notorious assassin Bhulk, didn't disclose his employers, but he implicitly acknowledged Yen's accusation against the Wuhan family by agreeing to carry out the assassination. The room remained gripped by the unfolding memory, revealing a dark and sinister plot.Wingyu's patience had run thin, unable to endure further revelations. He shouted angrily, "Enough!"The room was filled with tension as the memory replay seemed to halt at a crucial moment, leaving them all in suspense. Wingyu's outburst reflected his growing desperation to prevent further exposure of his involvement in Yen's alleged death.The room bore a heavy atmosphere as the past e

Yen's smile remained as he addressed the female receptionist, "Haha, indeed. I'd like an executive suite room, please."The receptionist inquired, "For how long?""I'll be booking for as long as possible. My lady here," Yen added with a gentle nudge towards Ming, his smile bright, "will be staying for a long while." His words and actions conveyed a sense of generosity and hospitality.The receptionist nodded with a sly smirk, clearly aware of Ming's preferences as she was a lady herself. "We'll add the bills to your tab," she said, deliberately avoiding mentioning the price in front of Ming, who might have been less than pleased with the cost.Yen, ever the gentleman, took the lead and smiled at Ming. "Lady Ming, let's head to your room." He led her to the elevator, maintaining an air of elegance and charm throughout.Minutes later, Yen returned to the receptionist with a satisfied smile on his face. As he approached her, he raised his fist toward her, and she reciprocated with a fist

With a face devoid of emotions, Kento carried on with the negotiations. His voice was firm as he presented the offer, "We were hoping to open the branch company for you, and in exchange, we get an additional three percent of the company. How does that sound?" Kento's proposition was indeed tempting, and the room fell silent as the weight of the deal hung in the air.Yen, however, had an even better offer in mind. He leaned forward, a sly smile playing on his lips. "Sounds great, but I was thinking of opening two of such branches. How about opening both for another five percent of the company? That way, the Shin family will have ten percent of the company's shares." Yen's counteroffer was met with a collective shift of anticipation in the room. The grin on Kai's face showcased the appeal of Yen's proposal, and the negotiations reached a crucial turning point.The company was on a steady rise, a fact that was impossible to ignore. This meant that the worth of their ten percent share wou
