The Third-Gen Chaebol Becomes a Genius Actor

Ch 28

"Are you done with the call?"

Choi Yujin, who had left the banquet hall to answer a work-related call on a holiday, frowned at her brother who had followed her.

"Where is father? I wanted to greet Chairman Yoo after a long time."

You don't want to greet him, you want to flatter him and get a good position. And Chairman Yoo has no reason to be here. Choi Yujin sneered.

"Is that all you have to say after following me?"

Choi Yujin hated her brother. It was Choi Sangjin's reckless business expansion that caused the downfall of Ajin Daily. He was incompetent and clueless.

In the end, Choi Yujin had to rely on Juseong's help to grow the company to this extent. When her brother ignored her while she was struggling, but acted arrogant and claimed the vice-chairman position after JSENM grew, it was pathetic.

"Father and him are busy."

"Really? You don't seem to have a good relationship with your father-in-law. Why don't you try to be more affectionate with him?"

She couldn't understand why he brought up her father-in-law. Choi Yujin had made Ajin into JSENM with her own abilities.

The help she got from Juseong was not because she was sweet to Chairman Yoo. It was because she had given several presentations to him when she was newly married.

"Still, you must be proud of your grown-up sons. You and your second son seem to get along well now. Is Eunho still single? Do you want me to introduce him to a nice girl from a good family?"

He was trying to use his nephew, who was not even his related by blood, to gain some benefits. And he was acting like he was doing him a favor. Choi Yujin sighed.

"Actually, I didn't want to come. Father begged me to save your face. You have nothing without me."

Choi Sangjin's face turned red at Choi Yujin's blunt words.

"You must really like Juseong. You're so rude to me."

"Why not? It's because you ruined the company and I became Juseong's daughter-in-law and vice-chairman, right?"

Choi Sangjin clenched his fists. He opened and closed his mouth several times, then smiled wickedly as if he had thought of something.

"What do you think your friend would think if she saw you in her place? You were so close to her. Lee Heeseo."

'What?'

Yoo Yeon Seo, who was eavesdropping, swallowed his breath. Choi Yujin and Lee Heeseo were friends? He had never heard of that.

"Come to think of it, the timing was really... strange. Right? She died right after you left the company to save it."

"..."

"Wasn't Lee Heeseo's death a suicide?"

Choi Sangjin's venomous words wrapped around Choi Yujin like a snake. She closed her eyes tightly. She seemed to hear Lee Heeseo's voice in her ears.

[Yujina.]

"Did you kill her?"

Choi Yujin bit her lower lip. She felt heat rising to her head, but she knew she would lose this argument if she lost her temper.

"Stop crawling up without knowing your place. I can take away even the position you're barely holding on to."

"What? How are you going to take it away?"

"Take it away? You should speak properly. You never had anything to begin with."

He was a blood relative she would have abandoned long ago if it weren't for her parents. Choi Yujin exhaled and brushed back her hair that tickled her face.
