Chapter 32 Deep in the darkness, the acrid smoke of a burning cigarette filled the room. The night view of Seoul beyond the glass windows was dazzling, but even those lights could not break the heavy silence inside the room. “……” Joo Seong-cheol, chairman of Ilsung Group, quietly exhaled a cloud of cigarette smoke. Standing before him was Joo Yong-wook, who, despite holding the title of president of Ilsung Securities, was trembling like livestock being led to a…-

Chapter 31 Daesung Securities — Main Conference Room Under normal circumstances, the atmosphere in the conference room should have been tense, but today, there was something strange about the air. “……” Kwon Jun-yong, who had been sitting at the head of the table, soon closed the documents in front of him. “I assume everyone knows why I called this emergency executive meeting today. It has to do with the disciplinary committee referral documents submitted by Managing Director…

Chapter 38 Dylan Plseny. Charles couldn't immediately recall who the man was, but after hearing the Second Consort's explanation, he nodded. Although he had been stationed in the distant Berihmen territory, he had still been able to keep up to some extent with what was happening in the capital through other people's reports. Baron Heryace's aide had died six months ago. Dylan Plseny had been his replacement. Charles couldn't claim to know everything about him, but he had often heard that…-

Chapter 37 At the time, everyone's attention was focused on what punishment the Emperor would impose over the incident involving the former Marquis of Berihmen. Since most of the military commanders had received favors from the former Marquis of Berihmen, they all insisted that a loyal man like him could never have committed such an act. In the end, the Emperor had no choice but to suppress his anger and could not treat the former Marquis's descendants harshly. Because of that, they were able to return…

Chapter 36 Eleanor sat by the window with her chin resting on her knees, staring blankly outside. She kept looking toward the main gate of the estate as though she were trying to chase after the lingering image of the carriage that had already disappeared. Hin had been watching Eleanor, and after seeing her sit there for four hours doing absolutely nothing but stare out the window, she tilted her head in confusion. Hin carefully arranged the cookies she had taken from the cookie box onto a plate…

Chapter 35 ‘How can there be so much light in someone’s eyes…?’ Could a person's eyes really shine like that? While Eleanor was thinking that, she failed to notice that those very eyes were slowly drawing closer to her. When she suddenly saw her own reflection in those violet pupils, Eleanor flinched in surprise. “Ell?” “Ah… What did you just say?” “I said we should go upstairs together. Are you all right? You're not feeling sick, are you?” “Don't worry. I'm…

Chapter 34 The Grand Duchess of Frihosen alternated between looking at Eleanor, who was staring at Charles in a daze, and Charles, who was simply smiling gently. Even to an outsider, the two of them looked like a remarkably well-matched pair. The Grand Duchess's gaze unconsciously shifted toward Mia, who was standing behind her. Mia, who seemed to have been watching the two of them the entire time, met her gaze when the Grand Duchess looked at her. When the Grand Duchess of Frihosen twitched her…

Chapter 33 My Husband Lives Inside the Painting The moment my mind went blank, Camille's voice came back to me. “If you're really scared, just stomp hard on his foot and run. Don't worry about what happens afterward.” I had asked him what I should do if I ran away like that and failed. After thinking about it for a long time, Camille had handed me a pencil a few days later. “Then draw something anywhere with this. I'll come and get you.” Pagoda's hand pressing down on my shoulder…-

Chapter 32 My Husband Lives Inside the Painting As the conversation dragged on, I looked around, searching for a moment to catch my breath. “At the banquet, did you deliberately pretend not to know Young Master Noah Pistachio?” “Pardon?” Instead of answering, I pointed with my chin toward the newspaper lying beside him. The front page was plastered with a huge headline about Gael embezzling funds from his suppliers. Rather than focusing on his disappearance, the article centered on…

Chapter 31 My Husband Lives Inside the Painting “There’s no reason for you to go all the way to his mansion. Especially after what happened at the exhibition, going there just for the sake of etiquette is ridiculous.” “Well, that’s true, but…… I’ve already agreed to go. What can I do?” “Sometimes, when I look at you, you seem clever, but at other times, you’re really quite foolish.” “Wow, now there’s nothing you won’t say.” “I’m merely listing my…
