CEO's Gossipy Wife and His Family
Ep 1
Let's get into the story world
Taehyung inner thoughts mention as 💭[....]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
"Sign here. After the divorce, you won't face any legal repercussions. I'll give you another 200 million, plus I'll separate your studio and gift it to you, along with that apartment downtown..." A deep, attractive voice tinged with coldness rang out.
Taehyung couldn't help but cover his mouth to stifle a laugh. His beautiful eyes sparkled, one filled with the digits 200,00 and the other with 0,000!
He lowered his head to carefully examine the divorce agreement, counting the zeros.
Sitting across the desk was a tall man with refined, noble features and obsidian eyes that gleamed coldly. He observed Taehyung as he bowed his head, covered his mouth, and trembled. His heart grew colder.
If he had known it would come to this, Jeon Jungkook wouldn't have tolerated it for so long.
Taehyung was both pitiful and detestable. His parents had been lifelong friends of the Jeon Family but passed away before he came of age. Due to their dying wish, the Jeon Family took in Taehyung, only for him to betray their kindness by scheming to become his wife.
Afterwards, he couldn't live peacefully, stalking him repeatedly and stirring up trouble out of thin air, turning his life into chaos.
Now he had even stolen company secrets and given them to a rival firm, causing them to lose a major project and incurring the wrath of the entire company.
Even if only to appease the Board of Directors, he had to divorce him now.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
"I've already been more than fair to you. I hope you know when to quit."
If not for the sake of his parents, Jungkook wouldn't have left him any way out.
He had expected Taehyung to threaten suicide and refuse the divorce, but to his surprise, he picked up the pen with a trembling hand.
Jungkook let out a small sigh of relief when he saw this. It seemed Taehyung knew he had gone too far this time and wasn't going to resist anymore.
Finally, they could get divorced.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Oh ho! Finally, we can get divorced!]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
"???"
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Was that Taehyung's voice?
Jungkook had rarely heard Taehyung's voice so excited. For a moment, he couldn't be sure, so he looked up at him, only to see Taehyung's face contorted as he prepared to sign.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Was that expression one of anger or... joy?
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Wait, Taehyung hadn't opened his mouth to speak.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Great, 200 million! 200 million! How many houses could I buy with that? How many cute puppies could I raise? As expected of my ex-husband, so generous!]
Jungkook's handsome, deep-set brows twitched.
He was certain Taehyung hadn't spoken, but he had definitely heard his voice.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭What was going on?
Jungkook was always cautious and composed. He glanced at Secretary Jin beside him.
Secretary Jin was staring intently at the divorce agreement under Taehyung's hand.
When she noticed his gaze, Secretary Jin immediately put on a look of 'sympathy,' as if lamenting that things had come to this point.
Jungkook had no time to ponder Secretary Jin's unusual expression. The key point was that Secretary Jin couldn't hear those voices!
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
"Miss Kim, you've really caused big trouble for Mr. Jeon this time. I hope after you leave, you can start a new life properly and not... sigh!" Secretary Jin forced down the corners of her mouth, offering heartfelt advice while inwardly counting down, waiting for Taehyung to start making a scene.
After all, this stupid Taehyung would explode at the slightest provocation. Once he started causing trouble, that generous compensation might be withdrawn, leaving him with nothing.
Secretary Jin felt that Taehyung didn't deserve even a shred of kind treatment from such a good man as Jungkook.
However, Taehyung just glanced up at her, then signed his name at lightning speed as if rushing to be reborn.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[So annoying. Even though I took the blame, I can get divorced smoothly and receive such a big compensation. I won't bother settling scores with the real culprit.]
Jungkook froze as he took the divorce agreement Taehyung tossed over. A storm raged in the depths of his eyes.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭What? Took the blame? Real culprit?!
Jungkook hadn't yet recovered from the shock of suddenly hearing those voices when he was struck by this new information.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Wasn't it that Taehyung, dissatisfied with his coldness towards him, deliberately stirred up trouble to get his attention, resulting in disaster?
Everyone had seen that during that period, only he had entered the CEO's Office.
Someone had even photographed him meeting privately with the vice president of a rival company. The evidence seemed conclusive.
Although he had initially denied it when confronted, screaming and throwing a fit, in the end...
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
In the end, it was as if he had shouted in anger: 💢Since you don't believe me, just assume it was me then, what can you do to me!
Jungkook thought Taehyung had been caught and was furious from embarrassment.
Now it seemed there was an element of giving up in despair and acting out of spite.
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
"Mr. Jeon, it's time to sign." Beside him, Secretary Jin grew anxious as Jungkook held the pen without moving. Her usually calm and gentle voice became slightly strained.
Hearing her voice, Jungkook suddenly felt that Secretary Jin seemed to be overstepping her bounds.
Recalling the earlier 'real culprit,' he couldn't help but feel some misgivings.
Secretary Jin was his college classmate. They had known each other for many years, and he knew her well and trusted her completely. How could she possibly betray the company by doing something like this?
By now, Secretary Jin was impatiently handing him the pen.
She knew that although Jungkook appeared cold, he actually had a strong sense of responsibility and was especially protective of his family. He had a soft heart, otherwise he wouldn't have been entangled with this stupid ore Taehyung for so long.
Previously, several near-divorces had fallen through due to Taehyung's tactics of crying, making a scene, and threatening s*icide. Now that they had finally gotten Taehyung to sign, surely there couldn't be a problem on Jungkook's side.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Tsk tsk tsk, she can't wait, huh? I bet this Secretary Jin is feeling guilty too, afraid all her efforts will be wasted.]
Jungkook's eyes changed. With a twist of his wrist holding the pen, his long fingers pressed the black fountain pen onto the desk.
This action startled both Taehyung and Secretary Jin.
They saw Jungkook's deep, dark eyes now fixed on Taehyung, who hadn't had time to hide his expression of watching the drama unfold.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
"I'll ask you one last time, did you really do this?"
He had always been cautious. If what he heard was true, not only would an innocent person have been wronged, but the company might be left with an immeasurable hidden danger. So he had to verify.
Secretary Jin's face instantly became unnatural, though she didn't panic. After all, Taehyung couldn't prove his innocence.
Taehyung felt uneasy under Jungkook's intense gaze.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[What does he mean, asking this now? Is he having second thoughts about giving me the 200 million?! He can't be regretting it, right? Can't you sign first and then ask questions?!]
Jungkook's heart skipped a beat, but he just stared straight at Taehyung, as if determined to get an answer.
Taehyung's eyes darted around as he couldn't help but complain inwardly.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Of course I didn't do it. It's not my fault everyone's blind!]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Clearly Secretary Jin also went in and out of the office after me, but those people in the CEO's Office Staff automatically ignored that. When asked about suspicious individuals entering and exiting, they didn't even need to check the security footage before dragging me out as a scapegoat.]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[This is what you call a subconscious blind spot.]
Jungkook was suddenly shocked!
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭It wasn't just Taehyung who had entered and exited his office back then?!
At the time, with both witness testimony and physical evidence pointing to Taehyung, they had pushed him out as the culprit without even verifying the security footage!
He had also subconsciously believed Taehyung was the type of person who would do such a reckless thing, so...
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
Just as he was about to speak, he heard Taehyung say coldly, ❄️"I have nothing to say. Hurry up and sign."
Jungkook's expression gradually turned cold. He didn't understand why Taehyung wouldn't speak up when he knew the truth.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Could it be that he was afraid he wouldn't believe him?
Thinking of this, Jungkook abruptly stood up. Secretary Jin looked at Jungkook in surprise, only to see him cast a glance her way.
That scrutinizing look made Secretary Jin's heart tremble. Before Secretary Jin could react, Jungkook strode towards the door with his long legs.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
Passing by the confused Taehyung, he said in a deep voice, "Come with me!"
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
"Huh... what for?" Taehyung was completely bewildered.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
They saw Jungkook open the door and say to the busy assistants outside, "Retrieve the security footage from the evening of the 11th! My wife isn't quite convinced. Let him see if he was really the only one who went in and out that night!"
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
Secretary Jin, who had followed closely behind, heard this and her face changed drastically. "Mr. Jeon!"
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[This is so unfair! When did I say I wasn't convinced? It's written all over my face that I'm totally convinced!]
The employees of Jeon Corporation had long harbored resentment towards Taehyung's antics, especially those in the CEO's Office Staff.
Demanding surveillance footage was essentially pointing a finger at them, accusing them of lying about hin, wasn't it? They had all witnessed it with their own eyes; who would dare to speak ill of the CEO's wife otherwise?
However, with a single command from Jungkook, the surveillance footage was swiftly displayed on the large screen.
At increased playback speed, they clearly saw Taehyung's figure enter and stay for half an hour, apparently not finding who he was looking for, then exit with a gloomy expression.
Everyone present couldn't help but sneer inwardly, thinking Taehyung was stubborn and wouldn't give up until he hit a dead end. Now, let's see how he could still deny it.
Only Secretary Jin's forehead was beaded with sweat. Until her own figure appeared on the surveillance footage.
Secretary Jin's pupils contracted, and she carefully glanced at Jungkook.
Among those who had been glaring at Taehyung, some were stunned upon seeing that scene, while others remained unresponsive. The video stopped playing.
Jungky's face was almost covered with a layer of frost.
It was true after all!
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
Jungkook turned to those who had confidently claimed that only Taehyung had entered and exited his office, and coldly questioned, ❄️"Only my wife?"
However, these people hadn't yet fully processed the situation.
Extras/unimp charcters
A senior assistant spoke up directly: "Mr. Jeon, isn't there no problem? Only your wife..."
Others nodded in agreement.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[This is what you call having two nostrils under your eyebrows, only good for blinking and not for seeing.]
Hearing Taehyung's sarcastic remark, Jungkook's expression worsened.
Extra
Suddenly, a male voice said "Strictly speaking, two people went in and out. One was Mrs. Jeon, and the other was... Secretary Jin!"
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[There's actually one person who isn't blind!]
Everyone looked towards the source of the voice and saw a young man standing at the back. He was a new assistant who had been promoted recently.
Jungkook, with his excellent memory, remembered that when Taehyung was initially accused, this person had been out on business and wasn't present.
At this moment, the others seemed to finally catch on, but upon further thought, they found it laughable.
Extras/unimp charcters
"What nonsense are you talking about? Secretary Jin frequently goes in and out of the office."
Extras/unimp charcters
"You're new here and don't understand. Secretary Jin is Mr. Jeon's right-hand person!"
Their tone was so exaggerated, as if this idea was utterly preposterous.
Jungkook suddenly let out a cold snort, and the scene instantly fell silent.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
Taehyung,however, felt like laughing.💭 [If they knew the truth, their expressions would definitely be hilarious.]
Taehyung curiously looked at Secretary Jin, who was unconditionally trusted by everyone.
Secretary Jin, whose real name was Jin Yue, had a neat high ponytail, Her professional suit and pencil skirt accentuated her figure's advantages to the fullest. Although she wore light makeup, it was so exquisite that not a single flaw could be found.
However, her expression at this moment was extremely unnatural.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[It's not their fault though. After all, their attitudes towards Secretary Jin and me completely follow Jungkook's template.]
Jungkook's heart skipped a beat.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Indeed, it was his fault!
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
"Does Secretary Jin have anything to confess?"
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
"Mr. Jeon, are you suspecting me?" Although nervous, Secretary Jin quickly regained her composure and spoke in a tone of disbelief.
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
"I did go in, but Mr. Jeon, don't you remember? Every night, I go to your office to prepare for the next day's meetings."
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[So it was even more convenient to strike when I was alone in there. It seems this was planned for a long time. Impressive!]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[But... after listening to all this, do they all have to work overtime at night? I didn't expect Jungkook to be such a capitalist exploiting his employees. After the divorce, I should send him a copy of the labor law!]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭So after listening to all that, this is what you're focused on?! This is about your innocence!
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭And... our employees get triple pay for overtime!
Jungkook's train of thought was almost derailed by Taehyung's comments. He quickly gathered his thoughts.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
"Anyone who entered and exited should be investigated. No exceptions!"
Secretary Jin immediately put on a hurt and wronged expression. She truly hadn't expected Jungkook to suddenly treat her the same as everyone else. That stupid ore had already admitted it!
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
💭Was her position in Jungkook's heart really on par with this ore? She had been by his side for ten years, handling big and small matters without a single mistake.
The other assistants also showed displeasure, probably thinking the CEO was being overly rigorous.
Secretary Jin versus Taehyung, how could anyone think Taehyung wouldn't be the one to make a mistake?!
Treating Secretary Jin like this, aren't they afraid of disheartening a trusted confidant?
Moreover, although the CEO didn't seem to notice, they could all see it.
Actually, Secretary Jin had always secretly loved the CEO, and her devotion to Mr. Jeon was absolute. Even though she could have competed with Taehyung, she endured Taehyung's bullying without fighting back. How could she possibly sabotage Jeon Corporation?
Just as the atmosphere became tense, a sneer came from the doorway. Taehyung looked over curiously.
Several people walked in with an imposing aura. The CEO's Office Staff all stepped back, making room.
Based on his memory, Taehyung recognized the man leading the group as Director Tang from the Board of Directors.
The one who had just sneered was a young man, who had jumped out from behind Director Tang. He was Director Tang's son, Tang Jun.
He looked like a typical second-generation rich kid who fooled around in the company without doing any real work.
At this moment, Tang Jun walked directly to Secretary Jin's side and gave Jungkook an unfriendly look.
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
"Jeon Jungkook, have you lost your mind? We agreed at the Board of Directors meeting that you'd divorce this troublemaker, but what are you doing now?"
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
"Is there still any question about that incident that's worth you making such a fuss and checking surveillance footage? And what's even more ridiculous is that I just heard you're suspecting your loyal Secretary Jin and want her to be investigated too? Have you gone crazy?"
Director Tang made a half-hearted attempt to chide Tang Jun.
Director Tang
"How dare you speak to Mr. Jeon like that! Mr. Jeon's thoroughness is a virtue. It's not that he suspects Secretary Jin; I think it's probably because his wife refuses to admit guilt that we're having this scene."
Tang Jun immediately glared fiercely at Taehyung.
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
"You, even at a time like this, you're still trying to drag others down with you. It's simply..."
Before Tang Jun could finish his insult, Jungkook stepped forward, his face stern, shielding Taehyung. He was about to speak when—
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Which sewer cover was stolen to let this thing out?]
Jungkook's words got stuck in his throat.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Tang Jun, is it? How dare you talk back to the big boss of the corporation? Let me see what gives you the guts to be so arrogant!]
The corporation's big boss Jeon Jungkook was taken aback.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭See what?
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Oh, I see. Director Tang has the highest position on the Board of Directors and is somewhat at odds with Jungkook. If it weren't for Tang Jun being so useless and Jungkook being so excellent, when Jungkook's Father stepped down, Director Tang would have really considered pushing his own son to take over. No wonder Tang Jun can't quite figure out his place in front of Jungkook.]
Jungkook was truly shocked this time.
Taehyung had previously known nothing about the relationships within their corporation, yet he suddenly...And it was something he just 'saw' now?
Moreover, earlier, he shouldn't have known that Secretary Jin had entered the office after him...
Indeed, he must have some kind of 'condition', right?
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Ah! Oh my god, ahhh!]
Jungkook was startled by Taehyung's sudden scream. While one part of his mind wondered 'what else has he seen?', he half-heartedly listened to Tang Jun's defense of Secretary Jin.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[No wonder he's so against me and protective of Secretary Jin.]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[So this Tang Jun is Secretary Jin's devoted admirer!]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Haha! How can someone be so devoted? It's killing me with laughter!]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Tang Jun likes Secretary Jin....Devoted admirer?...So... how devoted?
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Good morning, good afternoon, good night messages every day. Reminders to bring an umbrella when it rains, to wear more clothes when it's cold. She never replies! Yet he's persisted for two years! That's dedication!]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭If only he put that dedication into his work...
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Once, just because of a casual comment from Secretary Jin about liking something, he searched all over Paris to buy it. He ended up with a fever and fainted. When Secretary Jin received the gift, she only said "drink more hot water," and he cried his heart out! Such sincere devotion!]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭If only he showed such sincerity towards his work!
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[He once played guitar and sang under her apartment in the middle of the night. The neighbors called the police for disturbing the peace, and he was taken to the station for a lecture. Secretary Jin didn't even come to bail him out! He had to find his own way out! Afterwards, he even apologized for possibly disturbing her sleep! I must say, the fact that he could consider this shows frighteningly meticulous thinking!]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭So who's the one making frequent mistakes at work? Is work ultimately unable to retain his meticulous mind?!
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[There's even more!]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭 There's more?!
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭["After falling in love with Secretary Jin, he never sought out other women, keeping himself pure. He would only look at Secretary Jin's photo and in the middle of the night under the covers... he would pleasure himself. This kind of adult gossip shouldn't be shared! I'm not interested in others' privacy!"]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Ugh!
At this moment, Tang Jun, who was righteously speaking in front of them, was unaware that Taehyung had completely exposed his private matters.
He only felt that the way the two people in front of him looked at him was becoming increasingly peculiar.
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
💭What did those gazes mean, mixed with a hint of sympathy and disappointment?
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭["Haha, so it was all Director Tang's misdeeds!"]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭What does this have to do with Director Tang again?
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Huh? Wait, what was he supposed to be dealing with just now?
Jungkook's mind was in chaos, but ultimately his attention was drawn away by Taehyung's emotionally charged inner thoughts.
Gossip is a temptation that even the most serious person can't resist.
Ep 2
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[At first, Director Tang's desire for power remained unquenched, which is why he arranged for Tang Jun to test Secretary Jin, to see if she could be poached. Little did he know he'd end up sacrificing his son. If he knew his son had turned into such a sycophant, he'd... Haha!]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Now he's strongly supporting his son in this matter, probably still thinking his son is winning people over, so he's here to back him up.]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[He lost his son and is now helping the other side count their money!]
Director Tang, who had been standing behind his son as solid as a mountain, suddenly shuddered as he caught Jungkook's penetrating gaze.
Director Tang instantly became smug, puffing out his chest and sucking in his stomach.
It seemed that Jungkook was indeed in the wrong about this matter. Look at him, unable to save face after being berated by his precious son.
Perhaps they could use this opportunity to poach Secretary Jin!
Director Tang
💭Let's see who'll dare call his son a good-for-nothing, spoiled rich kid after this!
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
"Hey! Jeon Jungkook, are you going to let this ore bully Secretary Jin?!" Tang Jun, seeing that Jungkook hadn't reacted and his expression kept changing, couldn't help but shout angrily.
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
"Don't forget, only Taehyung has met that company's Vice President Li! There are photos and videos as proof!"
Jungkook, who had accidentally overindulged in the drama, quickly coughed and adopted a serious tone, turning to Taehyung.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
"Why did you meet him?"
The last time he asked Taehyung, he had been hysterical and hadn't given a proper answer.
This time, Jungkook felt that even if Taehyung still didn't cooperate, at least he could find out the truth through other means.
Taehyung blinked, feeling that things were getting complicated. he hadn't expected Jungkook to truly intend to investigate thoroughly.
In terms of character, Jungkook was indeed quite good. He was trying hard not to wrongly accuse anyone.
But this wasn't what Taehyung wanted. he wanted a divorce!
Just as he was about to speak, he suddenly met Jungkook's gaze. His sharp eyebrows and phoenix eyes, deep-set features, were like a perfectly proportioned model. His looks were no less than any big celebrity, especially when he looked at him intently. For a moment, it was as if he could captivate one's soul, leaving Taehyung stunned for a second.
Without those two hundred million, Jungkook's face was still quite deceptive. At least Taehyung had been fooled for a moment.
However, at this moment, his handsome face was full of gravity, his whole demeanor exuding an air of seriousness that left no room for jest.
That gaze, which seemed to see through to his inner thoughts, startled Taehyung, causing him to blurt out involuntarily.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
"It was work arranged by my agent."
As soon as he said it, Taehyung regretted it so much he wanted to bang his head against the wall.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭Had he fallen for the handsome man trick?
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭Why did he answer honestly? This was going to complicate things even further!
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
Before anyone could react, Tang Jun sneered, "That's a pretty stupid excuse. Has your agent gone mad, arranging work for you with a rival company?"
Jeon Corporation had its own entertainment division, with a studio specifically serving Taehyung. As an agent employed by Jeon Corporation, it was impossible to accept work from a rival company. Unless it was deliberate.
Tang Jun didn't give Taehyung a chance to speak again, immediately having someone contact Taehyung's agent, Sister Wei.
The call was quickly answered, and the situation was explained.
Extra
Sister Wei immediately responded, 📱"What? I never made such an arrangement! Mrs. Jeon, you can't falsely accuse me like this! I'm just a small fry, I really can't bear such a heavy responsibility."
A mere agent would certainly not dare to wrongly accuse the CEO's wife.
No one noticed the stiffness in her tone, they only felt that everything had been confirmed. Secretary Jin's lips curled into a secret smile.
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
Tang Jun said smugly, "Next time you lie, don't say something that can be so easily exposed."
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
Then he mouthed to Taehyung "Idiot."
This time, Taehyung was truly annoyed.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[ You are a truly idiot]
He had originally thought it was just ordinary framing, and that small fries like Sister Wei had also been set up. He hadn't expected the plot to be so extensive, even involving Sister Wei.
Jungkook had also thought of this point and was considering having someone investigate Sister Wei later when he heard Taehyung's inner thoughts.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[I want to see how much money they paid her to frame me.]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
"...."
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Could he see whatever information he wanted?
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[What!]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Is my innocence only worth a 2,000 red envelope?]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[This is impossible, absolutely impossible!]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[I must have missed a zero!]
Jungkook was also stunned, his head full of question marks. Just... 2,000 yuan?
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Wuwuwu, it really is 2,000 .... Eh? Wait, ah?! I see...]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭What what?
After waiting for a long time, Taehyung kept exclaiming.
Jungkook's originally cool temperament was about to be driven to irritation by Taehyung.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Just say it! If you don't say it, how can I prove your innocence?
Fortunately, Taehyung still unconsciously recognized the situation.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[No wonder she didn't want money. It turns out that agent Sister Wei is Secretary Jin's sister-in-law. They're actually family, of course they'd present a united front.]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[So Secretary Jin had planted a chess piece by my side long ago?! They even pretended not to know each other before. Impressive, impressive!]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Why are you praising her!
Upon hearing the truth, Jungkook was suddenly quite shocked. So Secretary Jin had made so many arrangements behind his back so early on!
At this moment, a subordinate was carefully asking if they could hang up the call with Sister Wei, since everything that needed to be said had been said.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
Jungkook's tone changed as he spoke into the phone, 📱"Since the stories don't match up, I will arrange for people to carefully gather evidence. If agent Wei has no physical evidence, then we will thoroughly investigate your network of connections."
Instantly, everyone present looked at Jungkook in shock.
Extras/unimp charcters
Everyone: 💭Things have come to this point, and he's still nitpicking?
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭Damn! How can Jungkook stumble upon the truth so accurately by accident?
And no one noticed Secretary Jin's panic and the sharp intake of breath on the other end of the phone.
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
"What do you mean by that?" Tang Jun continued to charge forward for love.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
Jungkook calmly said, "When stories don't match up, even the police wouldn't be biased in their investigation. Taehyung's network of connections is simple, I know all of it, and before this, it was impossible for him to have any connection with the other party. But I'm not sure about this agent."
Extra
📱"Mr. Jeon... how could I possibly have any connection with a rival company?" The agent said anxiously.
Indeed, there wasn't any, but as long as they investigated, they would discover her relationship with Secretary Jin.
And this relationship was unknown to others, which would suggest intentional concealment, and since it was involved in this incident, it would be hard to explain.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
Jungkook directly said coldly,📱 "Wait for further notice."
He hung up without giving the agent a chance to argue. The next second, his cold gaze swept towards Secretary Jin.
Secretary Jin, who was already panicking, was suddenly startled and took a step back.
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
Tang Jun immediately stepped forward to protect her, angrily saying, "I see you're determined to defend this ore today. I now suspect you're planning to make Secretary Jin take the fall for him!"
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
"But unfortunately, Secretary Jin has never had any contact with people from rival companies! Those two days, she was either at the company or at home!"
Secretary Jin also calmed down a bit, looking at Jungkook with a grievance in her heart, but her tone was firm and unwavering.
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
"If Mr. Jeon doesn't trust me, I'm willing to accept any investigation!"
According to general investigation procedures, they would definitely need to investigate Secretary Jin's recent whereabouts and all her electronic devices.
From Tang Jun's statement earlier, it could be confirmed that Secretary Jin had not met anyone from the other company.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭But for Secretary Jin to dare to say this, it meant she hadn't left any evidence.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Could it be that no clues were left on her electronic devices either?
Jungkook was frowning in thought.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[I was wondering why she was so confident, so this is how it was designed!]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Stop marveling and just say it!
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[The email was sent on the morning of the 12th, but if they check her computer, even if they use technology to recover all deleted records, they won't find anything.]
Jungkook's heart tightened. How was this possible!
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Because she actually used that idiot Tang Jun's computer to send it. Tang Jun trusts her completely, never guards against her in the office, and even his computer password is her birthday.]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[This way, even if she's suspected, nothing can be found on her computer.]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Even in the worst-case scenario, if the rival company betrays her, the investigation would only lead to Tang Jun.]
Jungkook's expression had completely changed, his unfriendly gaze sweeping from Secretary Jin to Tang Jun.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[However, she left one flaw. Probably because she was too confident in her position in the company.]
Jungkook immediately focused on listening, wondering what the flaw was.
But Taehyung didn't continue his train of thought.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭["Forget it. I know these secrets but can't speak them out. In the end, apart from Sister Wei possibly uncovering a few issues through investigation, it's of little consequence to Secretary Jin. Let's just end this pointless charade quickly."]
Jungkook's eyes flickered slightly as he inwardly scoffed.
Indeed, it was a farce!
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
"Call the IT department up here. We need to examine Secretary Jin's electronic devices."
Secretary Jin hadn't expected Jungkook to actually embarrass her on the spot, and her face turned green. She pressed her lips tightly together, her expression as aggrieved as could be. She gazed at Jungkook with resentful eyes, as if he were a heartless man.
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
Tang Jun, even more enraged, rushed to defend the damsel in distress, "You're really going to be this ruthless? This is simply an insult to Secretary Jin's character!"
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
However, faced with Jungkook's genuinely cold demeanor and icy gaze, Tang Jun's anger subsided quickly, and he said, "If nothing is found, you must apologize to Secretary Jin."
Though the others didn't speak up, their expressions showed their indignation. This incident had already caught the attention of the entire company, and many from the leadership had arrived.
After all, high-level talent like Secretary Jin was very important.
They also thought Jungkook had gone mad. Everyone in their circle knew that Jungkook could do without Taehyung, the Mrs. Jeon who only caused trouble and had no value, but he absolutely couldn't do without Secretary Jin.
However, Taehyung suspected they had gathered more or less to watch the drama unfold. Just look at those gossipy little glances
After all, one was Jungkook's wife in name, and the other was Secretary Jin, who had managed to stay so close to the usually aloof Jungkook for so long.
People had probably even placed bets on this battle. Taehyung, who usually only watched the drama, never expected to become part of it. Really, the joke was on him!
Taehyung could only glare at Jungkook with resentful eyes. While Jungkook only provided his back, straight as a pine tree, for Taehyung's resentful attacks.
Although his ears were nearly deafened by Taehyung's constant muttering.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Was he always like this?
Soon, the investigation results came out.
Unsurprisingly, there was no evidence of wrongdoing.
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
Tang Jun immediately became smug, "Jeon Jungkook, do you still want to cover for Taehyung?"
Jungkook felt the gaze on his back becoming fiery.
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
"Mr. Jeon, now you must believe me, right?" Secretary Jin's eyes were brimming with tears, as if she might cry at any moment.
Jungkook lowered his head to glance at his phone before looking up at Secretary Jin.
In an instant, his cold gaze gave Secretary Jin an inexplicable sense of foreboding.
Everyone thought the matter was settled, but they saw Jungkook stop talking to Secretary Jin and turn directly to look at the large screen behind him.
Confused, they followed his gaze and saw that a surveillance video had suddenly appeared on the screen.
The moment the image appeared, many people recognized it as the entrance to Tang Jun's office, and the video showed Secretary Jin entering Tang Jun's office.
Everyone was puzzled. It felt like a sudden plot twist. Among those present, only Secretary Jin's face changed dramatically, her body chilled, her pupils shaking.
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
Tang Jun pointed at the screen and shouted angrily, "Jungkook, what are you up to? You're checking surveillance footage of Secretary Jin delivering documents?"
Jungkook ignored him and just coldly watched the screen. At this point, the cunning Director Tang's expression became peculiar when he saw the time on the surveillance footage.
When he saw his son leave the office alone, leaving Secretary Jin behind, his face turned ashen in an instant.
Soon after, Secretary Jin left, and Tang Jun returned happily with a fruit platter, but not seeing anyone, he lost his temper.
As everyone was still confused, the screen switched to a recording of computer operations.
Surprisingly, the computer desktop was filled with beautiful photos of Secretary Jin.
The crowd's gaze towards Tang Jun became strange, and Director Tang felt like he was about to cough up blood.
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
Tang Jun, embarrassed and angry, jumped up and shouted, "Jeon Jungkook, you even sent someone to mess with my computer?!"
Indeed, a technician had cracked Tang Jun's computer password, attempting to recover all deleted email correspondence.
Tang Jun had just finished shouting when he felt Secretary Jin sway beside him.
Tang Jun immediately became concerned for the beauty, still not realizing the problem at hand. Meanwhile, Director Tang's face could barely contain his fury.
Many people in the room seemed to realize a possibility, and the atmosphere instantly froze. It was so quiet you could hear a pin drop, as if you could hear different people's heartbeats.
Until the recovered emails containing confidential documents were displayed, with the sending time prominently enlarged on the screen.
When compared with the time in the surveillance footage, who couldn't see the truth...Well, there was still someone!
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
Tang Jun stared at the screen for a moment, then immediately berated Jungkook, "You must have gone crazy, actually fabricating such a video to slander and cover for Taehyung..."
Before he could finish his tirade, his father slapped him on the back of the head.
Tang Jun fell forward, crashing to the ground.
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
"Dad!"
Director Tang
"Shut your mouth!" Director Tang said, then quickly turned to Jungkook and the other leaders, saying, "As you can see, my son has nothing to do with this. He was used! He's just an idiot!"
At this point, he had no choice but to admit his son was a fool.
If he didn't distance himself, in case they suspected Tang Jun and Secretary Jin were working together, he wouldn't be able to explain it away no matter how hard he tried.
Director Tang
"Secretary Jin, how vicious your heart is! Using my son and framing Mrs. Jeon! Mr. Jeon, how has he wronged you that you would betray him like this!"
Director Tang wished he could dig up some gossip about love and hatred to divert everyone's attention. At this moment, all eyes turned to Secretary Jin.
There was shock, disbelief, resentment, and fury. Especially the CEO's Office Staff, who were all trembling with anger, their eyes red. They had just confidently vouched for Secretary Jin and accused Mrs. Jeon.
Now they were so ashamed and angry that they wanted to dig a hole and bury themselves.
Given Mr. Jeon's personality, he would surely fire them all. They had truly been ruined by Secretary Jin!
But now they didn't dare say a word, only trying to minimize their presence as much as possible.
At this point, Secretary Jin's face was completely drained of color, her breathing rapid, her whole body shaking.
She looked at Jungkook in despair, still unwilling to give up without a struggle.
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
"Jungkook, I didn't..."
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
"Agent Wei is your sister-in-law. You conspired with her to frame Taehyung, didn't you?"
Jungkook's words were like the final straw that broke the camel's back.
The whole room was in an uproar.
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
"How did you... Did you already..." Secretary Jin's spirit was completely crushed.
Everyone else also looked at Jungkook in shock, as no one could have imagined things would turn out this way.
Taehyung's brain had stopped working since the video first appeared.
It was one thing for him to see all the truth himself, but how could Jungkook be so incredibly perceptive?
When his agent was mentioned, Taehyung finally reacted.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Could it be that Jungkook already knew Agent Wei's identity, so he suspected Secretary Jin? But how did he think of Tang Jun?]
Director Tang was also deeply frustrated, wondering how the investigation had led to his son.
Jungkook glanced at the dazed Taehyung. He couldn't very well say in public that all the truth came from Taehyung's inner thoughts.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
"Let's set aside the matter of the agent for now. Once you became a suspect, it was natural to review all surveillance footage of your independent activities and investigate all electronic devices you might have accessed."
Secretary Jin hadn't deleted those surveillance videos that could become evidence, which was the flaw Taehyung had mentioned.
Ep 3
Such a watertight investigation, treating her as the sole criminal, searching for evidence of her guilt.
Secretary Jin had always felt that even if her comings and goings from the office were revealed, Jungkook would investigate out of thoroughness, but not to such an extreme degree. That's why she hadn't deleted the security footage in a suspicious attempt to cover her tracks.
She truly hadn't expected Jungkook to be so cold and ruthless in dealing with matters related to her.
Secretary Jin collapsed pathetically on the ground, devastated by this realization. But the person even more devastated was Tang Jun.
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
"You really did this? Why? Why?" Tang Jun's eyes were red, his emotions extremely agitated as he grabbed Secretary Jin's arm, frantically questioning her.
Director Tang
Director Tang felt his son was making a fool of himself and quickly pulled Tang Jun back. "What else could it be but jealousy? She wanted to push out Mrs. Jeon and take his place."
Tang Jun/Director Tang Son
Tang Jun, however, was like he'd been struck by lightning. "You like Jeon Jungkook? No, impossible!"
Director Tang wanted to facepalm. How blind could his son be, not to see what everyone else had noticed?
Taehyung felt the same way.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Tang Jun is truly blind, isn't he? He likes Secretary Jin so much, yet he had no idea she was in love with Jeon Jungkook!]
Taehyung had just finished this inner monologue when he looked up to see a flash of astonishment in Jungkook's otherwise calm expression.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Good heavens, don't tell me Jungkook never realized Secretary Jin was in love with him! What kind of oblivious man is he?]
Jungkook's ears were already burning with embarrassment from Taehyung's thoughts, his handsome face gradually becoming unnatural.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭What was going on? Wasn't this supposed to be about enemies bribing Secretary Jin to steal trade secrets and framing Taehyung?
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Secretary Jin liked him? How was that possible? Wasn't she...
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
"No, no, it's not like that! I had no selfish motives!" Secretary Jin suddenly cried out in panic.
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
She nervously looked at Jungkook and said, "I admit I did these things, but it's absolutely not what everyone thinks! I did it to help Lisa!"
In an instant, the entire room fell silent.
Lisa, that was...
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
Jungkook's expression changed slightly. "What did you say?"
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
Secretary Jin hurriedly explained, "Lisa is coming back to the country."
Jungkook's pupils trembled slightly, and he uncomfortably glanced at Taehyung.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Lisa, I know her. Jungkook's first love, the girlfriend who ruthlessly abandoned him years ago. They were once the golden couple, talented and beautiful, the most well-matched pair in their wealthy circle.]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭...You know about that too...
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭 [But what does this have to do with Secretary Jin?]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
Jungkook looked at Secretary Jin seriously. 💭Yes, what did this have to do with what she had done?
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
Secretary Jin, as if grasping at a lifeline, blurted out, "Lisa and I are best friends. When she left you back then, it was because she had no choice. I didn't want you two to miss out on your destiny because of a misunderstanding. I knew you wouldn't divorce easily, so I was willing to be the villain, hoping to give you and Lisa a chance."
After saying this, Secretary Jin lowered her head, looking distressed, as if she had been forced into this difficult position.
Secretary Jin was indeed Lisa's best friend. It was because of this connection that they had become familiar. Otherwise, when she was hired into the company, they wouldn't have felt comfortable letting her take the position of secretary, giving her the utmost trust.
During their innocent college days, Secretary Jin had witnessed their entire relationship, occasionally even helping to bring them together. So when he heard people speculating that Secretary Jin liked him, Jungkook had thought it impossible.
The people present were all somewhat surprised, feeling as if there had been an unexpected twist. But few believed her, after all, no one was blind – Secretary Jin's heart and eyes were full of nothing but Jungkook.
However, it was the first time they had heard that Secretary Jin was the best friend of Jungkook's first love.
She had never revealed even a hint of this before. Everyone could now see what her intentions had been. Wait, there was an even bigger piece of gossip.
Jungkook's first love was coming back? Their breakup had been a misunderstanding?
Everyone's eyes furtively darted to Jungkook, expecting him to ask questions, but Mrs. Jeon, Taehyung, was right there. Everyone got excited – drama was brewing!
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[What 'no choice,' what 'misunderstanding,' I think...]
Jungkook quickly interrupted. He didn't want Taehyung prying into his past.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
❄️"For your own selfish desires, you've caused our company such great losses and even implicated and framed others. No reason can excuse you from being held accountable," Jungkook coldly declared.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Right, right, right. Moreover, the reason is clearly made up.] Taehyung's attention was immediately diverted. After all, it's a common problem for young people to have difficulty concentrating.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[But why suddenly make up this reason? Let me see!]
Jungkook had intended to discuss the handling of the matter, but hearing this, he also became somewhat curious.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Oh! She had always been hinting, directly and indirectly, her special relationship with Jungkook, trying to provoke me into making a fuss. She wanted to slowly drive me away, then win over Jungkook. But she didn't expect Lisa to return to the country. She knows she's no match for the first love, so she wanted to buy herself some time to become Mrs. Jeon before Lisa's return.]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[No wonder she was in such a hurry to frame me, not caring about how many flaws her trap had.]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Now that she's been exposed, she can only use Lisa as an excuse, pretending that she did everything for someone else's sake and just got confused for a moment. This way, Jungkook might go easy on her. But if Jungkook finds out she likes him, and that everything was done for her own selfish desires, Jungkook definitely won't let her off, and she'll never have another chance.]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Haha, she's really grasping at straws now. Even if Jungkook were that stupid, he wouldn't believe this excuse, right?]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
Jeon Jungkook, who had almost believed it a little"...."
Thinking back on various past incidents, every time Taehyung came to see him calmly, it wouldn't be long before he and Secretary Jin would start quarreling. Yet Secretary Jin always played the role of the wronged and helpless victim, making Taehyung seem increasingly crazy.
Jungkook had always thought it was Taehyung's problem, but now, thinking about it, he felt incredibly guilty.
He also grew increasingly disgusted with Secretary Jin.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
He had no interest in questioning her further and coldly said, ❄️"Call the police to handle this."
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
Secretary Jin suddenly looked up, as if all the strength had been drained from her body in an instant. In disbelief, she said, "Jungkook, I did it for..."
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
❄️"Whatever you have to say, tell it to the police."
Jungkook's cold decisiveness made everyone's hearts tighten. In the end, he had chosen the most severe way to handle it.
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
"Jeon Jungkook!" Secretary Jin broke down in a frenzy, trying to grab Jungkook, but he avoided her. She pointed at Taehyung in fury and frustration, "When it comes to him, you're willing to divorce and give him a way out. Why are you so harsh with me? Even if I don't have any merit, I've put in effort. I've followed you for ten years, and this is how you treat me?"
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
Only then did Jungkook look at her. "Because you're not my wife."
This single sentence seemed to hide many layers of meaning, piercing like a sharp sword through the chest. Secretary Jin was dumbfounded.
Soon after, the relevant personnel were taken away by the police, and Taehyung was also compelled to make a trip to the police station.
During this time, Tang Jun actually tried to take responsibility onto himself, because he believed Secretary Jin's lie about helping her best friend. He continued to act like a lovesick puppy, angering Director Tang so much that he fainted.
Fortunately, the evidence was conclusive, and Tang Jun couldn't take the blame even if he wanted to.
Secretary Jin/Jin Yue
The last time they saw Secretary Jin, she was frantically shouting at Taehyung, "When Lisa comes back, Jungkook will definitely divorce you. Don't celebrate too early!"
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
What a villainous line! Yet Taehyung's mind was full of anticipation💭 [Really?! Then hurry up!]
Taehyung had transmigrated three days ago.
The cause was that his soul had been mistakenly taken by a Messenger from the Underworld. Having no parents, his body was quickly disposed of, making resurrection impossible.
To make up for this work error, he was gifted a transmigration package.
And so, Taehyung arrived. he inherited the original body's memories and assumed its identity.
The original Taehyung was a delicate young ore with no means to support himself. When his parents d*ed in an accident, worried that Taehyung would be bullied by relatives, they entrusted him to their close friends, the Jeon Family.
The Jeon Family pitied him and raised him as their own.
However, the original Taehyung, having experienced misfortune, became complicated and sensitive. he never opened up to the Jeon Family, remaining gloomy and peculiar. he did, however, fall in love with Jungkook at first sight. Worried that he would have no reason to stay with the Jeon Family after graduating from university, he made a move on Jungkook.
He got him drunk, sl*pt with him, and they were caught. Jungkook despised him but had to take responsibility when he threatened s**cide. They were forced to get married.
Feeling wronged by this incident, he shut himself in his room for days, eventually dying suddenly from heart failure.
This is how Taehyung came to transmigrate. His face and name were instantly replaced in this world.
Taehyung had no desire to become a resentful wife locked away. Although Jungkook was handsome and wealthy, he could look but not touch. What was the point of that? Taehyung didn't want to live as a married single.
In his past life, he had never even held hands with a man. In this life, he was determined to make up for it.
It was perfect that he didn't like him. he thought about divorcing such a rich man, making a big score, and never having to worry about money again.
However, the Messenger from the Underworld told him that unless Jungkook initiated the divorce, Taehyung couldn't divorce on behalf of the original body. This was what they called fate. The original Taehyung would never have divorced Jungkook, even in d*ath.
Taehyung protested. So the Messenger from the Underworld gave him an additional compensation gift: The GOSSIP SYSTEM.
The Gossip System was a cheat code that could dig up secrets people had been hiding since birth. It perfectly satisfied Taehyung's gossip cravings.
Later, He thought that given the Jeon Family's character, as long as he didn't mess things up, life wouldn't be bad. Rich, leisurely, with a husband who never came home - it could be considered a good life. If he really couldn't stand it anymore and cheated on Jungkook, well, that would be his fault for not fulfilling his husbandly duties.
But he didn't expect the opportunity to come so quickly. This framing incident had turned into grounds for divorce.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭What a coincidence! he could divorce right away!
But now...
It was already night when they left the police station. Jungkook took Taehyung into the car, intending to go home first.
The car was terrifyingly quiet. Taehyung leaned dejectedly against the window.
He blamed himself for not acting hysterical enough to disgust him. He had missed out on two billion, an amount he wouldn't have dared to dream of winning in the lottery in his past life!
Jungkook couldn't hear anything else, only "Two billion!" "Two billion!" ...constantly cycling in Taehyung's mind.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Was he really that short on money?
Jungkook picked up his phone, and soon after, Taehyung's phone buzzed with a notification.
Taehyung listlessly opened it.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💬Three million yuan deposited!
Taehyung's breath suddenly quickened, his eyes widened in shock, and he mechanically turned to look at Jungkook.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Could it be... he transferred it to the wrong person!]
Jungkook was looking at him. Seeing him turn towards him, his long, thick eyelashes lowered slightly, casting a shadow under his phoenix eyes, making him appear somewhat sincere.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
He spoke solemnly, "I'm sorry for wrongly accusing you earlier. I apologize, and this is compensation."
Jungkook was truly sorry, but he didn't know how else to make amends. He didn't really know Taehyung well, as they had spent so little time together. He had no idea what he liked, but hearing him constantly muttering about money, he decided to just transfer money directly.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
"Oh," Taehyung replied, outwardly calm as if his heart had been hurt and he no longer cared about anything.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Holy crap! Three million! Kill me now! Is it even legal to transfer three million to a phone account?!]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Stay calm! For the princess who just missed out on two billion, three million is nothing, haha!]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Being wrongly accused once and getting three million in compensation, Jungkook, you're actually quite nice!]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Feel free to accuse me a few more times, I don't mind at all!]
The corner of Jungkook's mouth twitched. He hadn't expected Taehyung's inner thoughts to be like this. he was so two-faced. Indeed, one shouldn't judge people by appearances; only today did he truly get to know Taehyung as a person.
Jungkook glanced at him again. He saw him desperately trying to suppress a smile, his eyes big and round, sparkling with light, adding a lively charm to his already beautiful features.
Although Jungkook didn't like him,(Now), he had to admit that Taehyung possessed a stunning beauty that could captivate anyone. He hadn't noticed before, probably because his expression was always gloomy, as if everyone owed him something. Now he seemed naturally spirited, as if his entire being had suddenly brightened up.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Why would a person change so drastically all of a sudden?
Jungkook couldn't help but think of strange possibilities. he seemed to know the ins and outs of many things, even those he shouldn't have access to.
Perhaps it was due to the sudden appearance of this peculiar ability. Knowing too much made everything seem clear, so he started living more freely and casually.
For now, this was the only explanation Jungkook could come up with.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
But thinking back to this incident, Jungkook couldn't help but ask, "Why didn't you defend yourself more after it happened..."
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
Taehyung thought for a moment, then had an idea and tried to provoke him, "You've wanted to divorce me for a long time anyway. This was just an excuse. Whether it's true or false doesn't matter."
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
Jungkook frowned, displeased, "Truth and falsehood are very important! And... I've never planned to find an excuse to divorce you."
Although their marriage had started in a mess, he hadn't intended to keep things in a stalemate forever.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
Taehyung was a bit surprised, but in his heart, he responded 💭[Ex-husband bro, you're a good person!]
Jungkook's face turned green.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭They weren't even divorced yet! How could he call him "ex-husband bro"
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Or did he think they would definitely get divorced?
Before Jungkook could think further, Taehyung's inner voice provided the answer.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[But forced love isn't sweet, why waste time? After all, your true love will be returning to the country soon! Isn't it better if I clear out in advance?]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Secretary Jin already said that she had her reasons for breaking up with you, that there was a misunderstanding between you two. This looks like the setup for a reunion, and I don't want to stay and be the third wheel.]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[I don't want to end up in a melodrama, becoming the victim of ad*ltery. That would be so ugly. I'm doing this for your own good.]
Jungkook's breath caught.
He and that person were long over. He had moved on, so how could he possibly maintain a relationship with an ex while having a wife? He wasn't that kind of person.
That's why he hadn't even thought about asking Secretary Jin for the truth.
If he could reveal that he could hear his thoughts without seeming rash, Jungkook really wanted to argue with him.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
Perhaps feeling a bit resentful, without waiting for Taehyung's outward response, Jungkook said directly, "Don't overthink things. As long as you live your life properly, we won't get divorced!" In the future, Jungkook would definitely prove to him that he wasn't the kind of person he thought he was!
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
Taehyung glanced at Jungkook and replied perfunctorily, "Oh."
But in his heart, he strongly disagreed.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[When you're caught in an ambiguous push-and-pull with your true love, I'll throw these words right back in your face!]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
Jungkook took a sharp breath. 💭Why wouldn't he believe his words?
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Ah, no, that's not right.]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Did he believe him?
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[It's better if ex-husband bro is more determined now. If I behave well for a while, when ex-husband bro comes to me for an amicable divorce for the sake of his true love, he might feel guilty and give me a bigger divorce settlement.]
Jungkook's face darkened.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[These days, it's like I'm investing money with ex-husband bro. Just thinking about it makes me giddy. I'm such a financial whiz! Once we divorce, it'll all become my seed money for independent living! Then I can get a house, a little puppy... hehe.]
Jungkook felt short of breath.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭You just can't forget about that little puppy, can you? Or do you already have candidates lined up? Is that why you're so quick to accept the idea of divorcing me?
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Calm down, calm down. This time it was my fault. I shouldn't think of Taehyung like this.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[A young wolf wouldn't be bad either... as long as he has six-pack abs!]
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭...I have... eight-pack abs..
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[I'm just waiting for Jungkook to bring up the divorce.]
Jungkook clenched his fists out of sight. He couldn't tell if Taehyung truly wanted a divorce or if he was just hurt by this incident and had given up on himself.
After all, if Taehyung really wanted a divorce, he could have proposed it himself.
The fact that he didn't take the initiative probably meant he still didn't want to divorce him.
It definitely wasn't because he wanted to accumulate more alimony!!!
The car slowly drove into the estate.
Other people's cars were parked in the square, there were visitors.
As soon as the two of them stepped through the main entrance, they heard voices coming from the living room.
Extra
"Mom, Dad, this is the child Seokjin and I are planning to adopt. His name is Li Jun."
Jungkook immediately understood that his older ore brother and brother-in-law had arrived.
Before he could even process the news about adopting a child, he felt the ore beside him, who had been leisurely strolling, suddenly quicken his pace.
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Oh my, there's more drama to feast on! The upper-class circle really is full of drama. This makes me a tiny bit reluctant to get divorced.]
Jeon Taehyung/Ore
💭[Divorcing is like leaving a melon patch full of juicy gossip!]
Watching Taehyung take two steps at a time, his eyes gleaming with eager anticipation.
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭This definitely isn't the reason he's not initiating the divorce!
Jeon Jungkook/Jeon's 2nd son/CEO
💭Also, what new drama is unfolding now?..Wait for me!
