JoonHun rubbed his lips with his finger as he looked at the computer monitor.
No matter how he looked at it, something was strange. Who could have done this?
HyunJin Group and R&K Investments had created the consortium 2 years ago and had sealed it with his marriage. Getting the UAE government's approval for ‘The Tropical' had taken 1 year.
Even though the progress was slow, they believed it to be the best they could do. The total project amounted to about 1 trillion won.
The project was financed by HyunJin Investments, a branch of HyunJin Group, and R&K Investments. They each invested 250 billion won, making it a total of 500 billion won. The remaining 500 billion would come from investors in the Middle East and Europe. The manmade sea and islands would be constructed by HyunJin Construction Co. and Schutzweizen Engineering Co. of Germany.
However, the problem started when HyunJin and R&K investors transferred the 500 billion won to a special projects corporation established in Dubai.
The 500 billion won had disappeared without a trace. Not only were the funds gone, but the head of the corporation, Hashad al-Maktoum, had evaporated away like a mirage in the desert.
The more he thought about it, the more ridiculous it seemed. It all happened right under their noses. No one could believe it, and as the top businesses in Korea, HyunJin and R&K were even more shocked.
The two companies, both united in their confusion, were now placed in the middle of a war. Both sides persistently pushed blame on the other. R&K blamed HyunJin, and HyunJin blamed R&K, both bristling at the other.
The perpetrator had to have inside knowledge of the two companies. Additionally, JoonHun's father, Seo JaeHyuk, was leading this project.
As soon as this incident had happened, the gossip began to circulate. Everyone believed that HyunJin had made a mistake. There was no other explanation for this ridiculous situation!
It would take years to get to the bottom of this fiasco and track down the missing money, and the rumors were already spreading far and wide in Dubai.
Last week, JoonHun personally flew over to Dubai and uncovered something absolutely absurd. He found Hashad al-Maktoum. However, Hashad was an old man in a nursing home who was close to taking his last breath.
They had trusted in Hashad, who claimed to be a member of the royal family. He said he had some connections within the Dubai government and had given them the rights to ‘The Tropical'. This Hashad al-Maktoum, whom they had put their faith in, was a fraud.
As this was revealed, the rumors began to circulate throughout Dubai that the Korean project could no longer proceed. It would only be a matter of time before the investors in Dubai and Europe pulled out as well.
Having heard that all his money had disappeared into thin air, President Min of R&K lost his reason and ran wild. Immediately after having received the report, President Min ran over to the headquarters of HyunJin and, in President Seo's presence, accused him of being the country's greatest conman at the top of his lungs. President Seo, of course, began to rain down curses at President Min.
While R&K losing their money was a problem, HyunJin Construction Co. was also totally shocked by the news that their golden egg, ‘The Tropical', was in danger of imploding before it actually began. Both HyunJin and R&K had been harmed, and both of their reputations had crumbled to the ground. The money wasn't the problem.
Who could it be?
Glaring at the monitor, JoonHun began to piece together the information he had gathered in Dubai last week. Everything had been done seamlessly. While being investigated, R&K had backstabbed them when they said that HyunJin had crossed the line with the National Intelligence Service. How could they screw up this partnership like that?
So who did it?
JoonHun's eyes seemed fierce and cold as the monitor's light reflected off of them.
Whoever it was, once the culprit was caught, he would not have a bone left in his body. It would be better if HyunJin caught this person. If the unpredictable R&K Investments caught the man, there was no guarantee that he would survive. JoonHun picked up his cellphone and pressed a button. The phone rang for a short while before the recipient answered the call.
– Director.
“Any news?”
– I'm sorry.
JoonHun's hand clenched into a fist. He had handpicked the most talented people in Korea. How were they unable to find any trace of the culprit?
“Didn't he leave any message behind?”
– It was all done very cleanly. Also…
“What is it?”
– The more we look into the system, the only traces left behind belong to us.
“What?”
He couldn't believe it. The traces belonged to us?
“What kind of traces are they?”
– That is…
The man on the other end of the call hesitated.
“Who is it?”
– It's… Director's ID.
What? JoonHun's face paled. What did he just say? Whose ID?
“Are you sure?”
– Yes.
This didn't make any sense.
How did my ID…?
This was absurd. He wasn't even in charge of the project in Dubai.
The traces belonged not to his father, who was the Korean leader of the consortium, but to him? How was his office ID, that only he knew, caught up in the incident in Dubai? How did this person obtain his information?
For a moment, JoonHun's face stiffened slightly.
Could it be…
He looked at the monitor. All of HyunJin's system was like a castle wall. The storage was installed behind it, so it was impossible for outsiders to access it. But what if the person was inside the castle? What if he was an insider? Was there someone inside the house that betrayed him? Or…?
JoonHun sat back down at his desk and used his computer to access the surveillance recordings inside the house. A 3D blueprint of the house popped up and the status of all the cameras were indicated with a red dot.
He clicked on the camera in the western wing of the house. He saw Min Yuan leaving the bathroom. The open bathroom door let out the remaining steam, and his wife was walking with her wet hair wrapped up in a towel. It all seemed like it was an animation on the monitor screen.
“Are all the electronic communications leaving and entering the house being recorded?
– Yes, that's correct.
“What does my wife's records say?”
– Please wait a moment.
In the short silence, JoonHun watched his wife as she sat in front of the vanity. His wife was calmly looking into the mirror. Then she took off her bathrobe. JoonHun's hand twitched as it held onto the phone.
He couldn't get a good look at his wife's nude body because her back was turned. However, he could still see her pale back and bottom through the monitor. JoonHun's eyes were glued to the screen as she walked over to the dresser. Her wet hair flowing down her pale back, her round bottom, her long legs.
She bent down as she took out a slip from the dresser. She raised her arms as she put it on. The soft silk flowed down her back.
Instantly, a shudder went down JoonHun's spine. He recalled the image of his wife bent over underneath him. Her pale back stretched along her pliant curves. Her untidy, soft hair. The warmth between her thighs trembling as it gripped his cock so tightly. Her fluids dripping down his own pubic hair…
– There isn't anything suspicious.
“Ah…”
JoonHun recovered his senses.
– Director?
“I'll decide whether it's suspicious or not. Send me all of her call logs from the past month and its details as well as the summary of her computer usage.”
– Yes, I understand.
In the monitor, his wife was already sitting in front of the mirror as she was drying her hair. The outline of her breasts were clearly outlined through her slip.
“And…”
– Yes, what is it?
JoonHun shut his mouth. His eyes were glued to the monitor. Other than himself, nobody else in the house could avoid the cameras. Thankfully, he was the only one who had access to the surveillance cameras in his wife's room.
“It's nothing.”
-Ah, okay.
JoonHun ended the call. A notification window popped up on the monitor indicating that he had received an email. He opened the email and checked the call logs and details that had been sent over. It was clean. Her schedule and her movements were all perfectly clean.
As he scrolled down the document, he noticed that she had received a message earlier in the afternoon. He read the contents of the message.
– We will proceed with the divorce procedures, so make sure to leave immediately after.
– I understand.
She replied without asking any questions. Above that, the rest of the calls were related to the university. Still, something seemed a bit off to JoonHun.
Min Yuan was familiar with both households. His wife would also be able to find out about his ID.
Stop it. This suspicion didn't make any sense. This house was covered from top to bottom in the best, state-of-the-art security system. The surveillance cameras wouldn't even miss a drop of water.
Additionally, Min Yuan was the daughter of President Min of R&K. Damage to her father would mean damage to herself. She accepted her marriage for the sake of the Dubai project and played the perfect wife up till now. Inside and out.
But how could he know her true feelings for certain? A betrayal always came from those closest to you. In this world, your most trusted ally would be the one to stab you in the back. So whose side was Min Yuan truly on?
Her true self was completely hidden behind a wall. He had had her body underneath him for countless nights, touching every nook and cranny as her husband. However, he had never truly seen her true self once.
Her true self. If she had one, what could it be?
What was behind those indifferent eyes of hers?
He'd only seen it on her face in profile that one time. In front of the dark window during the winter, he saw her sadness and her tenderness for just a moment. Other than that, he couldn't recall another time he had seen her true face.
What nonsense. JoonHun laughed bitterly. Was he being insanely jealous over his wife smiling at another man that he had come to this conclusion?
But what was it?
It had been half a year since his wife had last accepted him to her bed. She said she was busy or sick, but it was becoming obvious that she was pushing him away.
Any contact between his wife and Lee TaeKyung were nonexistent. Since they married, she had never met him or even had a single phone call with him. However, the report that Secretary Kang had given him was surprising. Yuan and Lee TaeKyung were very close before her marriage.
Lee TaeKyung was the son of R&K's President Min's chauffeur. As a close aide to the family, he grew up with Yuan since she was seven years old. Since his wife began high school in London and stayed there for university, Lee TaeKyung would go there to take care of her every three months. In the pictures of them together, they seemed to be very close.
In those pictures, his wife was smiling brightly. It was a smile he had never seen personally.
Even though they were so close, they didn't contact each other once since she got married. Should he be relieved?
More importantly, Lee TaeKyung was the one in charge of the Dubai project from the R&K's side.
What if… Just what if…
If Min Yuan and Lee TaeKyung were in love, what would Lee TaeKyung have done when he found out that she was being taken away in a contract marriage?
Wouldn't he try to break that marriage apart by any means necessary?
Wouldn't he try to get her back no matter what?
If Yuan had wanted to divorce JoonHun and return to Lee TaeKyung's side, wouldn't she figure out her husband's ID number from the inside and hand it over to her lover?
If it were him, he would do whatever he could.
And that 500 billion won. That was more than enough to last a lifetime if Yuan ever decided to run away and disappear.
Suddenly, JoonHun heard a thump and looked down. He didn't know when he had clenched his hand into a fist. However, an unbelievable anger was sweeping his mind at this moment. He wasn't aware of how scary his eyes looked right now.
What the…!
JoonHun laughed at himself.
What are you doing right now, Seo JoonHun?
Do you want to kill Min Yuan? Do you want to rip Lee TaeKyung to shreds?
Why? Are you jealous?
Ridiculous.
This was all because of his pride. Lee TaeKyung had messed with his wife. He tricked him, and for betraying him, he would pay. These emotions JoonHun was having towards Min Yuan were nothing more than lust. That's all it was.
JoonHun picked up his cellphone once again. He scrolled through his contacts before carelessly pressing the ‘call' button. After a few rings, a sleepy voice picked up.
– Hello?
“Derrick.”
– Ah, what is it?
“Come back to Korea immediately.”
– What?
JoonHun didn't respond and just ended the call. He hoped that Min Yuan wasn't involved in this incident. He hoped that Min Yuan didn't have any special relationship with Lee TaeKyung. However, if that wasn't the case…
JoonHun couldn't even finish the thought.
TN: You guys have been so great that I decided to make it a triple release today!
