Four Ways to get a wife - LK Adaptation

Prologue

It had been three days since the funeral ceremony of Director Jeon Kyung Hwan, the only son and successor of Goryo Group.

Amidst the piercing gazes of the family members who were all still dressed in neat black clothes, the company lawyer was signaled by President Jeon to read out the contents of the will left behind by the deceased.

President Jeon, who had just lost his son nodded slowly, and Lawyer Han, who had long been his right-hand man cleared his throat lightly and began to speak.

"As you all know, the late Jeon Kyung Hwan always tried and worked hard for the company even until the last moment of his life. You must also recognize how much the deceased loved the Goryo Group."

Hearing Lawyer Han's words, everyone in the meeting room seemed to nod their heads, except for one person who pouted his lips and smiled sarcastically.

That person was Director Jeon Kyung Hwan's biological son, Jeon Jungkook, who was now 20 years old.

Love the company? What nonsense. Even dogs would probably laugh at that. His father loves many things, except one. Making money.

It seemed that everyone in the room, especially those who were interested in his father's legacy, knew that his father was a playboy who liked to play women with his handsome face and charisma.

Of course, right now the people's attention was not on the mistakes and bad actions of the deceased, but on the names written on the six pieces of paper in the will and what would be their inheritance.

Such people were people who didn't mind forgetting and forgiving the deceased's bad behavior, as long as they could get a share of the inheritance.

Inside the silent reading room, President Jeon could see the silent laughter on Jungkook's face. One of the deceased's other sons, Jae Hyun, also looked at his adopted brother. Jae Hyun looked at him angrily and was annoyed at his disrespectful attitude. Meanwhile, Jungkook stared back at him sharply, as if challenging him while putting a strange smile on his face until Jae Hyun finally averted his eyes first.

Lawyer Han again cleared his throat quietly as if asking for attention from the people in the room and slowly opened the will on the table.

"The house located in the Pyeongchang area and all shares of the company will be bequeathed to the deceased's eldest son, Jeon Jungkook. Then, the shares in Kyung Hwan University will be given to Mrs. Oh Yeon Hee and her second son, Jeon Jae Hyun..."

"What? Seriously."

"Why even an out-of-wedlock child with no clear blood relationship..."

Before Lawyer Han could finish his sentence, exclamations of shock rang out from all corners of the room.

The contents of the will were completely unexpected especially for Jae Hyun's mother, Mrs. Oh, who had been patiently taking care of Jungkook who was born out of wedlock.

Her gaze was full of anger and hatred. She couldn't believe that her husband would bequeath all the company's shares to Jungkook.

For a woman who had been holding on to her dignity as her husband's lawful wife, the contents of the will were an unbearable humiliation for her. She felt cheated by her husband even after he passed away.

"Dad, was this all your idea?"

"Do you really want to know?"

Hearing the question of his son-in-law who looked so shocked that he forgot the various rules and manners he had been maintaining, President Jeon just asked back with a flat face. Meanwhile, Mrs. Oh immediately turned her face away.
