Chapter 84: Investigating his daughter
Jj replied with a plain, almost lazy "No."
He stared at his screen for a moment, fingers hesitating above the keyboard. Last night’s brief conversation with Father Zhi replayed in his mind.
A part of him wanted to ask Shin Keir if he was truly serious about dating his sister. Was it genuine? Was this just another short-lived CEO amusement?
But he stopped himself.
That kind of question shouldn’t be asked over text. It needed to be in person where he could read Shin Keir’s expression, his tone, his intent. Maybe if they ever met again under more casual circumstances.

Meanwhile, on the other end, Shin Keir stared at Jj’s short reply without any visible reaction. He didn’t push further.
His phone buzzed again with another call. One of dozens since last night. Members of the clan, board executives, external partners...they all wanted the same thing: answers, reassurances, or perhaps a scapegoat.
But Shin had already taken steps. His team had reviewed the legal angles, drafted a public relations strategy, and prepped an official statement.
All that remained was timing.
Sipping from his cup of black coffee, he leaned back in his chair, unmoved by the chaos swirling outside.
