Chapter 803: LT Amusement Park (3)
The founder of LT Inc., Chairman Shin Heon-Jae, was already 94 years old and barely mobile. As a result, real control of the company had fallen to the eldest son, Vice Chairman Shin Tae-Ill, who was leading the group's operations.
However, because Shin Heon-Jae still held all the shares himself, Shin Tae-Ill's position was precarious. The share distribution between him and his younger siblings was nearly identical. On top of that, Shin Tae-Ill's health was failing, which would ultimately lead to a power struggle within the company.
One year from now, Shin Tae-Ill would be forced to take a six-month leave due to exhaustion, creating a vacuum at the top. Seizing that opportunity, Shin Woo-Jin—LT Hotel's president and the second son—would quietly recruit the company's key executives into his own camp. He would tell them that sticking with a sickly older brother wouldn't guarantee their future.
Bit by bit, Shin Woo-Jin would expand his influence. And five years later, the succession war would break out. By then, Shin Heon-Jae's health would be rapidly deteriorating, leaving him with no strength left to mediate between his children. As a result, Shin Woo-Jin would ruthlessly eliminate his brothers and seize control of the company.
In other words, the very man standing before me—Shin Woo-Jin—would become the future head of LT Inc.. Yet even though I knew all of this, I didn't respond to his offer to betray Shin Jong-Ki. After all, this man saw people as nothing more than tools.
I didn't want Yoo-Jin or Miso anywhere near this kind of person, so first, I decided to move us somewhere else.
"There are too many eyes here. Let's speak somewhere private."
Shin Woo-Jin misread my intent, thinking I wanted to discuss terms in private, and gave a sly grin. "Yeah? Then... follow me."
Shin Woo-Jin turned around with the people who came with him.
Taking the chance, I handed my soft serve and headband to Yoo-Jin. "Yoo-Jin. Stay here with Miso and Yung-In. I'll be back soon."
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Yoo-Jin asked with concerned eyes.
"Yeah."
