The moment I stepped out of the studio, I felt a force pulling me back.

At the turned-around spot stood the energetic Ji Han.

“Look at me.”

I thought he would contact me, but I didn’t expect him to follow me directly.

Behind him, I felt the gaze of people.

“You should come with me. If you don’t want to cause a disturbance.”

Judging by his sparkling eyes, he seemed determined to follow me to my workplace.

Since Ji Han had a proactive personality, I had no choice but to follow him.

‘The surroundings are full of CCTV, so it should be fine.’

Bang!

Ji Han, who had come out to the outdoor terrace, angrily hit the railing.

Just at the beginning of the broadcast, he had dressed up decently, but now he was a mess.

Ji Han approached me, who had entered following the terrace.

“Speak.”

Ji Han’s command to speak out of the blue made me chuckle at his audacity.

I knew what he was asking, but I had no intention of telling the story as it was.

“What?”

When I asked nonchalantly, pretending not to know, Ji Han’s sly smile deepened.

Ji Han, who had forcibly restrained his emotions, swept his hair roughly.

“Huh. In-tek, the tech theft article that’s going viral. Did you do it?”

Ji Han stepped one step closer to me.

His heated gaze seemed to radiate a steamy heat.

“How would I, just a mere broadcaster, know about that? Aren’t you making baseless accusations?”

I denied it outright, and Ji Han’s face twisted without mercy.

“If it’s about Tesla, there are rumors about a merger with W. Moreover, if you didn’t do it, there’s no way I would come to the studio where I do my live broadcast, right?”

Unusually, Ji Han was talkative today.

It also meant that he was flustered by the current article about In-tek.

“Am I being too persistent?”

Ji Han’s impatience was evident in his eyes and trembling lips.

I smiled gently as I looked at Ji Han’s face, where emotions were unusually revealed.

“Did you call a busy person just to push your suspicions based on trivial symptoms?”

While looking at Ji Han with a contemptuous gaze, I loosened my fist.

It seemed like there was no reason to continue facing him.

At the moment I was about to turn around, thinking there was no longer a reason to stay, Ji Han’s low voice caught my footsteps.

“Why are you pursuing me so relentlessly!”

When Ji Han turned toward me, a cold wind blew.

Facing the vacant air, Ji Han’s intense gaze met mine.

His pupils were filled with intensity.

“What did I do so wrong to you? Why do you interfere so much with what I do!”

“…..”

“Well, it’s my fault with Seo Rin. But does that mean you have to push me to this extent?”

Ji Han expressed his injustice, his face flushed as if veins were bulging on his neck.

Looking at Ji Han venting his frustration, my heart felt strangely chilled.

“Moreover, I truly don’t know about the solicitation murder case Seo Rin mentioned!”

“You didn’t know?”

“Really. There’s nothing for me to gain by killing you. Why would I take such a high-risk move?”

I looked at him with sharp, thin eyes.

Looking into his eyes, which showed no sign of wavering, it seemed like he was telling the truth.

‘Even if he didn’t know, the sins you’ve committed won’t disappear.’

I knew that the solicitation murder was Seo Rin’s sole plan.

There was no reason for Ji Han to urgently kill me.

It wasn’t just related to contract killings; Ji Han’s wrongdoings towards me remained.

I still lived haunted by the nightmares of my past life, and the pain of being hit by a car on the day I died in front of the court was still vivid.

I can’t forgive you for leaving such a deep trauma on me.

“You’ve already married my brother. In the end, you became a member of Hojin Group as you wished, so what’s the problem?”

“…….”

“Whether it’s me or my brother, isn’t it enough if you just enter Hojin?”

I was stunned by Ji Han’s shameless words. How can a fallen person have such low thoughts?

A cool smile hung on my lips as I looked at him.

“Why are you doing this?”

Ji Han’s face stiffened as he saw my meaningful smile.

In this situation, my smiling face seemed to provoke him, and he burst out with a loud noise.

“Mr. Ji Han, did you know until now?”

“What?”

Ji Han’s voice trembled slightly as he asked me.

“I knew that you were colluding with Vice Chairman Kim Young Min. There were also some transactions going on in exchange for the promised merger with W Group.”

“…….”

“So you persistently acted towards me. Disgustingly pretending to be a husband, saying sugary words as if you would become a family.”

Ji Han was shocked to know that I was aware of what had happened with Vice Chairman Kim Young Min.

Well, if I hadn’t regressed, I wouldn’t have known.

After dying once and coming back to life, I began to see facts I didn’t know before, one by one.

“If we had married that day, I probably would have become a penniless beggar within a few years.”

“…….”

“And today’s In-tek incident was a foreseeable accident. You may not want to believe it.”

However, Jae Ha had just moved up the time of the incident a bit.
