Grandfather chuckled as he let out a sigh of relief and picked up the phone.

"Hakjae, come home right now with Jo Dae-ho."

Grandfather, who put down the phone, looked at me with a very satisfied expression and spoke.

"I'm the most finger-pointed person in Korea. I've been to the Seoul Central District Prosecutor's Office in a wheelchair four times, and I've been convicted twice. Only eight subsidiary CEOs have gone to prison in my place."

Both of those convictions ended with suspended sentences, and why didn't he mention that the imprisoned subsidiary CEOs were all on the presidential pardon list?

"That finger-pointing began to dissipate as my children grew up. Now, even Yeong-jun gets a share."

Grandfather raised his hand and pointed outside.

Does it mean they fight by finger-pointing each other with the people?

On one side with jealousy and anger, on the other side with disdain and disregard.

"You, too... No, maybe you've already received it. When you got that amazing score on the college entrance exam and did interviews, people must have whispered. They said you got private tutoring worth millions. They said you got into Seoul National University because of money. And some people would have cursed you like this. Why does the third-generation chaebol go to law school? They would say that someone else had to drop out because of you."

He may not care about public opinion, but he seemed to be keeping an eye on trends since he received reports without fail.

"Like it or not, you were born into a villain's family, and no matter what you do, you'll be labeled as a silver-spoon kid. Do you understand what I'm saying?"

"Yes. I won't waver."

There are many villains behind masks. And there are even more people who fall for those masks.

The world will change from now on. One's image, personal identity management, will become a significant variable. I have to prepare many masks.

"Now, you should go. Director Yi and President Jo will arrive soon. Oh, and the merger announcement press conference should be centered around Sunyang. President Jo will take the lead."

I need to keep the fact that I am taking over A-jin hidden. Grandfather knows it well. If they know that I am the key player in the merger of the two companies, the scheming relatives won't stay quiet.

"Of course. I'll prepare right away."

I bowed to Grandfather, and he patted my back, showing a satisfied smile.

How much weight will he put on Sunyang Motors? Or is he planning to swallow A-jin Group whole through me?

"I plan to absorb A-jin Group."

"What?"

The two men who rushed here in the middle of the night couldn't hide their confusion at Chairman Jin's first words instead of a greeting.

The phrase "red-handed" suited this night perfectly.

"Chairman, they've already leaned toward Daehyun. There's no time to prepare now, and... more importantly, we don't have the funds."

"That's right. Jumping into a game that's already over is a bit..."

Chairman Jin raised a hand to silence the two men.

"We're just dipping our toes in. And that toe is none other than you, Jo Dae-ho."

"Me?"

President Jo tried his best to understand Chairman Jin's intentions, but he couldn't grasp it at all.
