Chapter 262: The End of the Divine Family (4)
Staggering and stumbling, Shin Do-hwa dragged herself back to her residence. Blood trickled down from her head, and her entire body was covered in dust and dirt.
Entering an empty alley, she placed her hand against the wall.
Whoosh
The floor opened up, revealing a marble staircase. As she descended, she was greeted by a luxurious, spacious room adorned with a chandelier hanging from the ceiling. This windowless space was her private sanctuary.
Thud!
“...Ha...”
Collapsing into a plush sofa, she stared up at the ceiling and let out a deep sigh, then covered her face with both hands.
“This is how it’s supposed to be... This is the only way...”
Yes, there was no other way to preserve the Shin family’s name.
Her great and terrible family, her everything.
The Shin family.
The only way to keep its legacy intact was to pass everything down to her daughter, Shin Se-hee.
