“Kim Ha-yeon was found at the nursery.”

In the data Benjamin Chung handed over, there was a picture of Ha-yeon wearing old, ill-fitting clothes. Although she was tall and her face changed, she was unmistakably Hayeon.

‘I thought I was adopted into a chaebol family…’

It was a stupid idea. Why would a chaebol family adopt a child who is not related by blood? It was an illusion that he would have taken Ha-yeon because his ex-wife Seo Eun-chae remarried Dok-go-jeong.

My heart broke when I saw the worn-out sneakers and the expression of lack of confidence.

‘Is this the reason you avoided my calls?’

The guy who robbed himself of everything and now has no rats. An ex-convict who doesn’t even have the ability to pay child support.

So there was no reason to raise a child anymore?

The fact that he didn’t answer the phone must have meant that there was no point in talking about it because he was done with the sweet water.

“Are you okay?”

“Yes?”

“My hands are shaking.”

The data was crumpled, perhaps because I gave it strength without realizing it. Anger surged up and I couldn’t contain it.

I wanted to grab her by the hair and throw her to the floor. I wanted to shout why I did it and get angry.

But it doesn’t.

Because I am a member of society. Because I am a civilized person living with people.

Instead, I will give you a shame that you can’t even lift your head again.

To that end, he was even planning to destroy the Dokgo Group.

That bitch used Ha-yeon as an excuse to take all my property. However, the property disappeared somewhere, and Ha-yeon was wearing clothes that didn’t fit her size at the nursery school.

I laughed out loud because I was dumbfounded.

“thank you for your effort.”

“Is this enough?”

“Yes. Please take a break and wait. Thank you for your hard work.”

“This is nothing.”

I shook hands with Benjamin Chung and let him go. Blood rushed to his head, making his breathing difficult.

‘I’m openly alive, but I’m in an orphanage.’

He had to bring Ha-yeon back.

‘I need to see a lawyer.’

***

Even if my daughter was placed in an orphanage after the divorce, I, who had no custody, couldn’t bring it on my own. Unfortunately, that’s our country’s law.

So, among the divorce law firms, I found one that had nothing to do with Dokgo Group. It was the law firm Powell.

I immediately called and made an appointment for a consultation. When I said I wanted to consult as soon as possible, an appointment was made during lunchtime.

‘It’s a pity that I have to work even during lunchtime.’

But for me it was a good thing.

When I visited the lawyer’s office with Jaffrey, the staff noticed. It became natural to go around with him and receive people’s attention.

A graceful woman standing at the information desk asked.

“Are you Kim Jae-gu?”

“Yes.”

“Your lawyer is waiting for you.”

Upon entering the office following her guidance, a library filled with books came into the room. The lawyer, who had been pounding hard at the batter, jumped up, approached and held out his hand.

“I am Lawyer Ha Seong-mo.”

“I’m Jaegu Kim.”

After a light handshake, his gaze shifted to Jaffrey.

“I’m a bodyguard. You don’t have to worry about it.”

“Sit over here. Would you like a cup of coffee?”

“I don’t hold back.”

“Are you okay with Americano?”

“Yes.”

As he glanced at me, the woman who guided me brought coffee and set it down. He took a sip of his coffee and opened his mouth.

“What are you here for?”

“I want to get custody back.”

“Please explain the situation first.”

“The duty of confidentiality is guaranteed, right?”

“Sure.”

He gestured and the information desk clerk left the office.

‘Use the eyes of trust’

[Reliability 82%]

[Cooldown: 23 hours 59 minutes 59 seconds]

It was said that he was a very trustworthy person. It’s only natural that he’s in a job where he has to keep secrets.

“I’ll explain my situation first.”

Starting with being falsely accused and going to prison, he talked about divorcing his ex-wife and taking away his property, and recently finding out that his child was in an orphanage.

Of course, he did not talk about how he made money or his assets. because I didn’t have to

“Can you come pick up the child?”

It was bittersweet even as I said it. Ha-yeon had only seen one and endured it until now, but her ex-wife collapsed the Maginot Line with her own hands.

I wanted to destroy it right away, but Ha-yeon had to go first. How difficult and frightening that child must have been at the orphanage.

‘You idiot Kim Jae-gu. Why didn’t you recognize me earlier?’

When Seo Eun-chae avoided my phone call, I should have recognized her properly.

The lawyer listened quietly and nodded.

“I’m afraid to say this, but it’s good for you that your spouse put your daughter in daycare.”

“Is that so?”

“Yes. But the custody issue usually favors women, so it won’t be easy.”

The lawyer who had been thinking for a while with his chin resting on his chin,

suddenly smiled.

“But, since you met me, everything will be fine. But.”

“but?”

“Let’s do a little show.”

“If it’s a show…”

“This is the part that bothers me the most right now… Jaegu Kim said he never saw a child after his divorce, right?”

“Yes.”

“When you divorced, how did you decide the right to interview?”

“I don’t know.”

Because Seo Eun-chae took care of it while I was in prison. I felt resentful of myself in the past for trusting and entrusting such a cunning woman.

“Then, I will request a change in the right to interview.”

“Is your child in daycare?”

“Of course. Let’s make a claim without knowing that she is in an orphanage. And let’s go with knowing the facts and filing a custody change suit. The important thing here is that Mr. Kim Jae-goo should give the impression that he cares for his daughter.”

“Hayeon is my only child.”

“We need to convey that to the judges. But.”

Ha Seong-mo put her hands together and massaged them.

“It looks like it will cost some money.”

“Never mind the money, just get the child back. Can I get child support?”

I didn’t need child support because money was overflowing, but I wanted to rip off everything I could rip off from Seo Eun-chae.

“Of course. It’s not difficult to get child support as long as the child comes.”

“Then what should I do now?”

“First, please sign a contract with our law firm.”

Ha Seong-mo’s eyes turned strange.

***

After signing a contract with Ha Seong-mo, a divorce lawyer at the law firm Powell, he headed to downtown real estate. There was no time to eat lunch because it took time to fill out various documents and pay the down payment.

It was the same with Jaffrey.

“(I’ll buy you something delicious when it’s over.)”

“(Never mind.)”

It would take a lot of energy to maintain that large body.

Upon entering the downtown real estate, Lee Shin-ae and an elderly middle-aged man were sitting facing each other. Beside him sat a relatively young man in a crisp suit.

Lee Shin-ae stood up and greeted me with a bright face.

“CEO Kim Jae-gu is here? This is the seller, Oh Hyeong-seok, the president.”

“I am Oh Hyeong-seok, president of the VVIP matchmaking company.”

He handed me his business card. I also took out a business card and handed it over.

“I am Kim Jae-gu, an individual investor.”

“Young boss is very talented.”

“I was lucky.”

Oh Hyeong-seok passed me and headed for Jaffrey. He flinched and sat back down.

“Did you like the house?”

“Yes. I’m sorry to move.”

“hahahaha. That’s right. As I get older, it’s hard to walk around the house on the hill. The yard is large, so it’s good for the children to run around.”

“I hope so.”

When I thought of Ha-yeon’s appearance, my feelings became complicated. I was happy until yesterday, but my heart became heavy when I realized that the little child was in an orphanage.

“The kitchen is spacious, so your wife will love it.”

“hahahaha.”

Is it because I feel like I’m floating?

After a brief small talk, the contract was signed according to the procedure. The man sitting with him was from the bank he had taken out the loan from.

I checked the contract carefully, and I went to the bank last time to pay the transaction price. According to the terms of the contract, Oh Hyung-seok immediately paid off the loan.

The train related to the registration was entrusted to the judicial scrivener called by Lee Shin-ae. The fee was quite high, but it was not an amount to be concerned about.

‘Because stock cheats are crazy.’

Despite withdrawing 40 billion won to invest in Carver Company and 30 billion won to invest in New York real estate, the bank balance did not think about drying up.

‘The Friday market hasn’t even ended yet, but it’s amazing.’

[Personal bank account evaluation balance: KRW 435.27419 million]

Is this money in your personal bank account?

Even now, the program was running like crazy, raising the evaluation balance.

It was the corporate bankbooks that turned more than that.

[Highest asset evaluation balance: KRW 704.2 billion 64.82 million]

The balance did not decrease because I did not spend money and just saved it. At this level, I wondered if it would be possible to reduce the investment in the best property.

Overseas accounts were also not easy. Thanks to entering the highest rate of return, it exceeded 870 billion won, excluding the original investment and the Daehan Market investment.

‘Playing with money is really crazy.’

If he hadn’t dispersed his accounts, it would have been enough to put his name at the top of the list of rich people in Korea.

After the sale of the property, he returned home. In front of the house, Im Seong-tae, the manager of the mansion, was waiting.

“What are you doing here?”

“I… boss.”

He cast a desperate glance.

“Is employment succession possible if there is no manager already appointed?”

“What are you talking about all of a sudden?”

“It’s a house I’ve been taking care of for a long time, so I’d like to keep taking care of it if you’d give me permission.”

Certainly, gardening was at a considerable level. However, I didn’t want to bring someone who didn’t have a guarantor into the house. Lim Seong-tae knelt down with a desperate face.

“Boss. I have a terminally ill son. If I get fired, I won’t be able to pay hospital bills while I’m looking for a new job.”

The house manager was thinking of hiring a foreign company. It would be better if it was someone who doesn’t know Korean.

For that reason, I heard that many chaebol families use foreign maids.

“How much did you originally get?”

“I got eight thousand.”

“Did you do the landscaping yourself?”

“Yes.”

I went up to my grandfather’s oxygen every weekend with my father and took care of it, but it bothered me that the surrounding scenery was not beautiful.

It wasn’t once or twice that I felt sorry because I was given such good ability and the only thing I could give was Andong soju.

Being treated like garbage in the village, it was obvious that if I stepped forward myself, I would make a fuss.

So, we were in the process of purchasing the mountain through Choi Ji-hoon, but we couldn’t find a manager yet.

After the purchase, I was thinking of contacting a professional company, but I was shaken by the fact that my son’s hospital bill was insufficient.

I think it was even more so because Hayeon had a job.

“If it’s mountain maintenance, I can give it to you.”

“A mountain?”

“The working hours are not fixed, and you just have to manage the surrounding scenery. The annual salary starts at 8,000, and the contract is renewed every year.”

“Is it far away?”

“Come inside first.”

I came home and had a deep talk with him. We coordinated details such as working hours and reached an agreement.

Once every 3 days, come to the mansion and work on the garden for two hours. And when the purchase of the mountain was completed, it was a condition that landscaping and management of 200 pyeong would be done.

The money and people needed for landscaping, of course, decided to wait on my side.

“Thank you! You will be very blessed.”

I hope that blessing goes to Ha-yeon too.

Lim Seong-tae bowed his head several times and returned home. I came into an empty house with no one there.

‘Now this is my house.’

It was a pretty garden with luxurious landscaping and a babbling pond. I couldn’t see whether all the carp had been taken, but it should have been filled with Ha-yeon’s favorite fish.

I pictured my family living together in this house. Happy Ha-yeon and her parents who are happy to see it.

It was so good just thinking about it.

“(Mr. Smith. How is this house?)”

“(Very good. You can feel the oriental style.)”

“(You can stay on the 3rd floor.)”

“(Here?)”

“(Yes.)”

The closer the bodyguard was, the better. Since I was on a business trip anyway, I would have to find a place to stay. It was so spacious and had so many rooms, so there was no need to find accommodation elsewhere.

“(Are you uncomfortable?)”

“(no.)”

I can’t help it even if it’s uncomfortable. It was the best choice to protect my family.

***

the next morning.

I spent my first night in my new house, and the phone rang like crazy in the morning.

When I answered the phone in a dream, a woman screamed.

ISBN: 979-11-01-85692-4(56)

{Kim Jae-gu?}

“I’m not buying it.”

I was about to hang up thinking it was an advertisement call because of the woman’s voice, but the other person yelled at me.

{Hey! Don’t hang up!}

“ah···.”

With a clear and shrill voice, ruining my weekend is the same before and after the divorce.

{Are you suing for custody without consultation? Are you crazy?}

“That’s why I shouldn’t have picked up the phone.”

bad bitch.

Are you calling when your foot is on fire?

{come out. Let’s talk face to face.}

“why me?”
