Four Ways to get a wife - LK Adaptation

Prologue

"I'm sorry."

That woman's husband was a very stubborn person. He wouldn't listen to anyone, including President Jeon who could usually make others tremble with fear just by looking at him. Her husband had only ever obeyed President Jeon, her father, once, and that was when he married her.

By marrying the daughter of his father's business partner, President Jeon's company would become stronger, her husband would gain freedom, and the woman herself... she would gain Jae Hyun.

That's all. Just one time in his entire life. Insolent. Asshole. So this is how he got back at me?

"How dare he put Jae Hyun, who is his first son..."

Mrs. Oh who was looking at Jungkook with a hateful gaze finally exerted all her patience and with great difficulty refrained from finishing her sentence.

She must have wanted to say 'child born out of wedlock'.

A child born out of wedlock. The status attached to Jungkook was not a foreign word to him, either when he lived in America or in Korea now.

The marriage between the wealthy businessman's son and the up-and-coming actress ended in divorce before they even had a chance to legally register their marriage. Because of their playing with fire, Jungkook has had to suffer the consequences since he was born.

"You must be happy that everything went your way, right?"

Jungkook's face did not look happy with the surprising contents of the will.

His face looked calm, as if he had expected this or just like a person who wanted even more inheritance.

Sometimes, his face looked like a dissatisfied person.

"Not bad."

Jungkook even continued to answer Mrs. Oh's question who was looking at him sharply. Questions that didn't really need an answer from her.

Unable to contain her emotions, Mrs. Oh clenched her fists furiously. She then slapped Jungkook on the cheek.

There were shocked gasps from all over the room, until finally President Jeon's voice was heard clearing his throat loudly to attract the attention of everyone in the room.

Before the people in the room could break it up, Mrs. Oh slowly retreated and the situation in the room seemed to calm down again.

However, Jungkook did not want to just retreat.

"I guess you're not satisfied with just slapping me. But this is the last time because I won't just let you do this to me again."

"You, how dare you threaten me!"

"Seriously. I've never threatened anyone. That's Mom's specialty."

Hearing Jungkook's flat warning that showed no emotion and emphasized the word 'Mom' with sarcasm, Mrs. Oh's body shook with fear.

She seemed to be the victim, not the aggressor. Her husband's child, born out of wedlock, was no longer a child.

"This will is still unfinished. I hope you will calm down and listen to the contents of this letter until it is finished."

Lawyer Han calmed down the people in the room and continued to read until the end of the contents of the will that people were no longer paying attention to.

In the midst of the heated atmosphere, Jungkook locked eyes with Jae Hyun again.

In the midst of this unexpected situation, compared to Jungkook who did not look surprised at all, Jae Hyun's eyes looked full of vengeance mixed with sadness and anger.
