Chapter 40 - Birth secret (1/2)

Since tomorrow was the trip to Hwaseong Fortress, Jinhee had to get her guardian's signature on the paper before she could go. Therefore, she could only reluctantly return home after the classes.

As much as Jinhee was hesitant to meet her father, she knew that she had to do it. Swallowing down the saliva, Jinhee forwarded her hand forward in order to knock on the door, but the words she heard made her unable to do so.

"Before Lee Dowon hands over all the wealth to Jinhee, I have to do something."

Jinhee heard her father's voice, and creases appeared between her eyebrows as she carefully leaned closer to the door to hear further. There was a high chance that her parents were planning something against her grandfather Dowon.

The voice that sounded very much like her mother spoke out, "She is the true heiress. If we try to kill him, won't the wealth naturally be passed down to her?"

"It won't after we kill Jinhee," Her father voiced out, and Jinhee's expression grew ashen.

Even though Jinhee knew that her parents did not like her, she never thought that they could go this far. This was an unbelievable feat! Why could someone who gave birth to her would want to kill her? Was it because she is inferior to Jinkyung?

Jinhee immediately shook her head.

'No, Jinhee, you can't let it affect your emotions.'

Repeating the above sentence to herself wasn't enough, and Jinhee tightly clenched her hand, trying to hold in her tears. This was the greatest blow Jinhee suffered in either of her lives. Despite that, she couldn't fall weak to it.

If they did not successfully attain Moonstone Enterprise after Lee Dowon's death, would they have killed her in her previous life? The thought of that made Jinhee nauseous.
