The Chaebol Family Drowned Me, So This Time I Wrote the Contract novel · Chapter 20 of 24

Chapter 20: Seventy

Six hundred people came to the Chairman's seventieth birthday, and every one of them looked at me as I entered.

The chandeliers were lit.

The marble floor held the whole room twice, once above and once below.

I wore the gray-blue silk that Halmoni had chosen herself, with my mother's white collar sewn on the inside where only I would feel it.

Seung-hwan walked at my left, in black.

He offered his arm in the doorway, and I took it, and the flashes went off together.

"Smile," he murmured.

"I'm smiling."

"You look ready to testify," he said.

"I am about to be exact."

His mouth moved, a very small thing.

At the coat check, a hand brushed mine.

I knew it without looking.

Tae-seong stood at the end of the counter in his dark suit, with his tie straight and his hair, for once, combed flat.

He was handing over a coat that was not his own.

It was a long red wool coat with brass buttons.

The woman beside him wore the most formal hanbok I had ever seen on a street vendor.
