Chapter 12.6
Jung-woo probably had a hunch. Aside from his aging body, he didn’t have a damn thing left. And someone with nothing to lose would be easy to control.
Having Jung-woo manage HanKyung Group had always been part of Woojin’s long-term plan.

Not long after Hayeong committed suicide, Jung-woo had to go to prison. He didn’t even have time to mourn. Misfortune came in waves and struck without warning.
“Did my brother put you up to this? You think he’ll sit still if he finds out I’ve been dragged into this? A rich man stays afloat for at least three years after going broke, you know.”
“HanKyung Group doesn’t exist for the sake of one individual.”
“...She was such a bright, upright girl. What a shame.”
