“……well.”

Sera smiled awkwardly and pretended not to know. She felt her mother’s persistent gaze, but she closed her mouth, which she struggled to do.

‘I don’t care. If we get the test results, we can turn this whole crazy situation upside down.’

She knew it was an opportunity for her.

A perfect chance to turn her mother’s mind.

If Adam is not a biological child in front of Chairman Joo, the effect will be enormous. Sarah was convinced of her belief.

JS Group Chairman’s Office.

“Chairman Seo is coming in.”

Outside, Vice Chairman Joo’s secretary announced the mother and daughter’s visit. When the door opened, the chairman and Adam raised their heads at the same time.

“There you are, Chairman Seo.”

The Vice Chairman raised himself up and greeted politely.

“You’re vague either. When you call your superiors, you don’t tell them your business in advance.”

“Ahaha. That’s because I wanted to solve it smoothly without informing the people around me as much as possible. Please understand just this once.”

The Vice Chairman’s eyes narrowed as he answered with an apologetic look. Soon her eyes turned to Adam. He was still sitting on the sofa with his legs folded gracefully.

Like a habit.

Chairman Seo kicked her tongue once with a face she gave up in the early evening and turned his head to the chairman again.

“By the way, why is he here?”

“We are one?”

Adam answered on behalf of the Vice Chairman.

“I thought he was a decoration, but he’s talking too.”

Chairman Seo sarcastically said to him.

“I’m handsome, though.”

“Ha, leave it at that. I’ll apologize instead. He was raised outside, so his manners are somewhat immature.”

Chairman Seo answered with a frowned face, saying, “Isn’t it somewhat insufficient?”

“So what’s the point of calling me?”

The Vice Chairman pretended to be struggling and answered slowly on purpose.

“Is it true that Chairman Seo’s eldest daughter tested Father’s genes for paternity?”

“Ha!”

Chairman Seo snorted.

“I’m sick and tired of your back-to-back way of talking. That’s why you still haven’t inherited the chairmanship.”

It must have been an unexpected situation, but the Chairman faltered in her confident, but sarcastic attitude.

When the Chairman was cornered from the beginning, Adam, who couldn’t wait, stepped up.

“As my eldest brother said, we want to solve it as smoothly as possible.”

Adam turned his laptop on the coffee table toward Chairman Seo. Chairman Seo and Sera sat on the sofa together while exchanging eyes.

“My eyes aren’t playing tricks on me too.”

Chairman Seo laughed bitterly as she saw Chairman Joo wearing an oxygen respirator in his mouth.

“I don’t accuse people without evidence, so don’t worry.”

Adam played recorded CCTV footage.

A VIP room employee was seen changing Chairman Joo Pil-tae’s pillow and picking up the hair around it.

“Is this proof? Why would we use Chairman Joo Pil-tae’s genes to test for paternity in the first place…?”

“It’s proof. I ordered it.”

Sera, who had been quiet the whole time, finally opened her mouth.

Chairman Seo opened her eyes slightly wide and straightened her face. And asked somewhat disapprovingly.

“Why did you do that? Without saying anything to me.”

“I’m sorry, mother. I didn’t want to worry you for no reason.”

Sera calmly apologized and took something out of her bag and put it down on the table. These were data obtained by Kang Tae-oh from the Philippines.

“But if I knew this, I couldn’t stay still anymore. Joo Adam has already died in the Philippines.”

At Sera’s words, Vice Chairman Joo and Chairman Seo’s expressions hardened at the same time.

“What do you mean….”

“What does that mean, Vice Chairman Joo?”

He was very embarrassed because it was his first time hearing about it.

“This newspaper was published locally in the Philippines. It’s about two sons and daughters dying of poison. One is Marie, and the other is who? I sent someone and finished the local verification.”

The Chairman looked at the newspaper and shook his head as he pushed it toward Sera.

“If it’s Adam’s paternity test, we’ve already finished it on our side.”

“If so, Vice Chairman Joo must think the same. How can you believe it?”

Sera countered boldly.

“The only thing I can trust is the results of the ongoing examination.”

Adam dropped his lip by implication.

“As a result of the test, ask them to fax it to the Vice Chairman’s office. And we can all check it out here. Don’t you think so?”

“…… what?”

Sarah faltered at Adam’s brazen attitude.
