The Heiress

Chapter 52

"Tell me, Mr. Choi... why? Why approach me now? Did you think that I don't know what your family has done?" She asked, her lips curled into a beautiful smirk.

"I... I.. Miss Park... I... don't know how to answer that question..." He said, embarrassed by his family's actions. Daniel Choi can't help but lower his head in front of Chaeyoung.

How should he answer her question?

Should he tell her that his father spoiled his sister to the point of becoming a sociopath?

Or tell her that he felt she was his only hope? Her intelligence, her influence, her confidence. Everything about Chaeyoung was also everything that he never had.

His father was in the hospital fighting for his life. His daughter refused to talk to him and went home without even asking for his permission.

He is alone.

Should he tell her that he has no other choice but to ask for her help?

"Don't worry Mr. Choi.. I know this is not your fault. Nor your fathers." Chaeyoung said before handing him an envelope. "It is in your blood."

Noticing Daniel's confusion Chaeyoung clarified. "Mental illness was recorded in your family. Schizophrenia, depression, suicide and bipolar disorder. Your ancestors suffered a thing or two and were in the mental institution at least once in their lifetime. Your father's family spared a lot of effort to hide this fact."

"After all, who would trust a company run by... a group of crazy people." She added.

"How did you find out about this?" He asked. Although he already suspected that insanity was in their family lineage he could not find the courage to ask his father about it.

Chaeyoung shrugged, "Research. Very elaborate research."

"Now, that we are clear about this... Are you still going to ask for my help, Mr. Choi?" She asked while staring intensely at the nervous man in front of her.

After a few seconds of silence Daniel answered, "Yes."

"But you know that I will not spare her, right?"

"W... what are you going to do to her?" He asked.

"Well, Mr. Choi... crazy people need help. But your sister is a different kind of crazy. Don't worry I will not kill her." She answered truthfully. She really did not plan on killing Wendy. Death was such an easy ending for her.

Chaeyoung was planning to do something worse. Worse than being dead.

"Can I trust you?" Daniel asked.

"No. Don't trust me, Mr. Choi. Trust my promises. Because I don't break them." Of course, at this point, Chaeyoung was still unaware of what Wendy would bring into her life.

At this point, she was simply stating a fact. She will not kill her. Not even if she begged for it.

Daniel Choi stared at the beautiful lady in front of him. Then he pursed his lips before letting out a sigh. "Alright. If this is what it takes to stop her. Then... I agree."
