Easy, Mr. Bigshot의 모든 챕터: 챕터 491 - 챕터 500

As I strode out of the ward after ending the call, Mom spoke up, “Now that you're married into a wealthy family, you live a luxurious life and are constantly surrounded by flattery. Why won’t you think of your brother? Think of the pitiful state he’s in.”Her voice dripped with sarcasm, clearly having overheard the conversation with Evelyn.I paused, fighting to keep my anger in check, and faced her with a cool gaze. “Mom, if that’s how you see things, I don't have much to say. I have other matters to attend to, so I'll be going now."No matter what I say, she always circled back to my apparent lack of support for Sean. I didn’t want to prolong a futile argument, so I quickly left the room. Outside of the hospital, I was upset. It was ironic that I received kindness and eagerness from Evelyn—someone I hardly knew—yet my own mother had never shown me such warmth. I truly wondered why things were the way they were.At noon, I called Jethro to inform him about Evelyn’s dinner invitati

After Kevin entered, he cast a quick glance at me and coughed lightly. I felt a wave of embarrassment, recalling how he had walked in on Jethro and me earlier. My cheeks burned, and I wished I could just disappear."Speak if you have something to say or leave." Jethro's voice was stern, his expression darkening as he caught Kevin's gaze on me. He glared at his secretary, clearly displeased.Startled, Kevin quickly averted his gaze from me and placed some documents on the desk. "Sir, these documents urgently need your signature," he said, maintaining a respectful and slightly fearful demeanor.I retreated to a nearby couch, trying to appear calm. I knew the more guilty I looked, the more awkward the atmosphere would be.Jethro briefly scanned the documents and promptly signed his name. Kevin took the documents and hurriedly left the room, not daring to stay a moment longer.Once again alone in the office, I let out a long sigh, feeling that Jethro had been a bit too harsh. Kevin ha

Evelyn's words, accompanied by a look of profound sadness, left me searching for the right response. She seemed torn by the knowledge of her daughter not living a happy life, and I struggled to find comforting words."What do you think, Rina? Should I reveal the truth to her? Should I be forthright about our relationship?" Evelyn asked with urgency, her eyes fixed on my face as she awaited my response.I was reluctant to involve myself in such a deeply personal matter. Not fully understanding the intricacies of her situation, I felt unqualified to offer counsel. Yet, seeing Evelyn's earnest expression, my heart softened. Despite her initially overwhelming enthusiasm, her genuine kindness and warmth toward me were evident, and I couldn't bear to see her in such distress."Ms. Evelyn, this is a deeply personal family issue. As an outsider, I don't think it's appropriate for me to advise you on what to do," I responded tacitly."But... let's say, hypothetically, if you were my daughte

When I heard this accusation, I was momentarily stunned, a wave of panic sweeping over me. Evelyn's excessive warmth since our first encounter now cast a shadow of doubt in my heart. However, this feeling was fleeting as I regained my composure and faced Jolene with a cold, unwavering gaze."Jolene, I must insist that you refrain from making such baseless accusations. I have parents, and I am certainly not your mom’s illegitimate daughter. There must be some misunderstanding here," I declared firmly.I had grown up knowing who my parents were. I was their biological daughter. How could I possibly be Evelyn's illegitimate child? Jolene must have been mistaken."You won’t get away with dismissing this as a misunderstanding. I came here to make it clear that I will never accept someone like you as my sister!" Jolene declared vehemently, her voice filled with anger. She then stormed out of my office, slamming the door behind her.I stood frozen, Jolene’s words echoing in my mind. She c

"Where did you hear all this? Who told you these things?"Mom didn't directly address my question, but her expression was one of growing panic. I could tell she was extremely anxious."I’ve met my biological mother. She found me," I revealed calmly, maintaining eye contact.The cup Mom was holding onto crashed to the floor, shattering with a loud noise, water splattering across the tiles. "Your biological mother found you? How could that be?" she asked in disbelief, her eyes wide with shock."Whether you think it's possible or not, it's the truth," I replied, managing to keep my voice steady despite my inner turmoil.Ever since Jethro confirmed my suspicions, I had grappled with this reality. Now, witnessing Mom's reaction, a profound sense of sadness engulfed me."That's impossible. When your father and I adopted you, the orphanage stated you were an unclaimed child. It's been over twenty years. How could your biological mother just appear out of nowhere?" she argued, her disbel
