Chapter 19: 10.1

“Oh, wow.”

He had just been discharged from the hospital, but the article was already out. As expected, he had a sensational appeal. As Yoo Yeon Seo exclaimed in excitement, CEO Han felt blood rushing to his head.

“Is this true?”

“It’s true.”

“Oh my goodness…”

Han Jun Oh grabbed the back of his neck and leaned back.

“The article is malicious.”

Lim Seung Hyun, who was sitting silently, looked up the article on his phone. As soon as the first article appeared, other media organizations copied it and ran similar stories with similar titles.

Yeon Seo’s name quickly dominated real-time search rankings.

“Once you receive the insurance money for the deceased manager, buy a foreign car,” Yoo Yeon Seo said, causing the bereaved family to cry twice.

“I’m a reporter for Entertainment Jump, Lee Da Woon…”

Lim Seung Hyun’s gaze became sharp.

Before he arrived at Yoo Yeon Seo’s house, he was given special instructions by the Chairman. He was not to spy on him but to report everything that attacked Yoo Yeon Seo

The chairman’s instructions also allowed him to cleverly sidestep Yoo Yeon Seo’s question in the morning, ‘Will you report to Hyung?’

‘That person must be unlucky to publish an article like this when the Chairman is ready to personally step in.’

He could easily predict the future of this Lee- reporter. He should have exercised more restraint.

When he searched for the reporter’s other articles, he found that there had been more than a few slanderous articles criticizing Yoo Yeon Seo. Lim Seung Hyun took a couple of screenshots and returned the phone back to his pocket.

No matter how it was reported, if the words of the bereaved family were true, there was no way to stop it. Lim Seung Hyun was waiting in the car at the time, so he didn’t know the exact circumstances.

“Didn’t you say that you gave them some consolation money?”

“I did.”

This startled CEO Han.

“You gave consolation money? Y-you did?”

“It wasn’t much. But I felt like I should give at least something.”

“That’s…Well done…”

Today has been full of surprises. Yeon Seo voluntarily takes acting lessons and even thinks about the bereaved family.

It’s good news that his change in personality due to memory loss has been positive, so what’s with this article? CEO Han looked back and forth between the article and Yeon Seo, confused.

“But the article doesn’t mention anything about the condolence money.”

“Maybe the family didn’t want to disclose it.”

The perpetrator of the accident was also said to have died at the scene, so maybe they needed someone to blame. And Yoo Yeon Seo, who was the only survivor of the accident and whose name was known, was at the top of the list. 

“But shouldn’t we also set the record straight?”

“Let it go. People often can’t think straight when they lose someone close to them.”

“…”

Yoo Yeon Seo shrugged it off and didn’t think much of it, but CEO Han and Lim Seung Hyun remained silent. This was because they were reminded of his biological mother, Lee Hee Seo.

It’s not hard to find articles from the time about young Yoo Yeon Seo being the first to discover her.

There were many rumours surrounding Lee Hee Seo and the Jusung Group, but there were also many rumours surrounding Yoo Yeon Seo, the first witness.

There were rumours that he suffered from aphasia due to post-traumatic stress disorder or that he was so traumatized that she developed mental issues. He had been going to psychiatric counselling for a while, so the rumours must have been spread by someone who witnessed it.

“Young master, do you have any idea how much the compensation was-.”

“Forget it, don’t respond. Don’t do anything either, CEO Han.”

Yoo Yeon Seo waved his hand, interrupting Lim Seung Hyun. He wasn’t offended by this malicious article. On the contrary, it felt good knowing that he was still the centre of attention even after taking a few months off.

‘It’s a very good set of circumstances.’ Yoo Yeon Seo was quite satisfied with his current situation.

First of all, as the third-generation chaebol, he had a lot of money, and his background meant that he wouldn’t have to go through auditions to get roles; scripts would come to him automatically.

He also had an agency that could provide him with an acting teacher, and if he couldn’t get work because of rumours, he still had a supportive and harmonious family that would be there for him.

“Don’t bother with this, just arrange for me to take acting classes as soon as possible.”

“Jong Seo, isn’t this about your family?”

Jong Seo, the younger brother of Kim Jong Ho, Yoo Yeon Seo’s last manager, was taken aback by the contents on the cell phone screen of his schoolmate.

“I knew that Yoo Yeon Seo was rude, but I didn’t expect her to be this distasteful.”

“Did he really say that? That’s unbelievable.”

“If I’d been born with this face, wouldn’t become an actor, I would just spend money quietly. And life would have been great.”

“Agreed.”

As his friends giggled and chattered, Jong Seo snatched Dong Mi’s phone and scrolled through the article.

“This isn’t true…?”

“What do you mean?”

“I never said that.”

“So, what’s this article? Is it just a reporter’s assumption?”

Even when reporters came to visit, his family turned them away. Despite many attempts by people claiming to be Yeon Seo’s manager to interview them, they sent them all away. They didn’t like the idea of turning his brother’s death into clickbait, especially during such a difficult time for his family.

“Actually, no reporters were allowed into our house…”

The article contained a strange sentence that sounded familiar to Kim Jong Seo.

“Oh!”

The man who entered the house, and thinking that their young master had forgotten something.
