Chapter 448 – Misunderstanding (3)

Si-hee mumbles with a serious expression, rhyming with the words that Eun-byeol has disappeared.

And as soon as she sees Si-hee, Do Ye-hee quietly crosses her arms and rests her chin on her chin.

Aside from Do Ye-hee’s reaction, which seemed to have noticed something subtle, the first thing to check was, of course, Si-hee’s claim that Eun-byeol had disappeared.

“You said Eunbyeol disappeared?”

“… Yes. As usual, I should be acting as my servant in the Dokyung Group’s mansion so as not to be noticed. For some reason, three days ago…”

“… Are you delaying a servant?”

“… Ah.”

No matter how impatient she is, Do Shi-hee suddenly spits out the secret about Eun-byeol.

I also thought it was a good opportunity, so I dug into the small hole she showed me.

With a reaction as if he had learned something new that he had never known before.

Perhaps Sihee also thought that it was something she had to say at least once.

It would have been better to put it in her mouth for sure at this opportunity.

“Actually…”

“…”

“The name Eunbyeol is actually her pseudonym, not her real name.”

“Somehow it seemed so. She’s not a common name.”

“And Eunbyeol’s original identity… She is Geum Na-ri, the youngest daughter of the Geumhyang Group.”

“…”

It was a fact that I already knew from half a year ago, but I pretended to be surprised.

In this situation, if I added a story like I knew my identity from the beginning, the conversation would become messy.

It would have been better to just listen to Si-hee’s quick explanation and to hear the story behind Eun-byeol’s disappearance.

“Is that so.”

“… I’m sorry, Mr. Seongcheol. Originally, I should have told Mr. Seongcheol in advance, but in the end it ended up being revealed like this…”

“Let’s put aside the trivial matters and move on to the important things for now. Right now, the fact that Eunbyul has disappeared is more important than that.”

“… Yes.”

Si-hee quietly bowed her head at my consideration and continued the story of Eun-byeol’s disappearance.

“Eunbyeol-eun, due to complicated circumstances, she ran away from her hometown, the Geumhyang Group, and she was hiding her identity by acting as my exclusive maid.”

“… Okay.”

“It has been almost three years since Nari started living as my servant. Since she was originally a housewife, the process of learning the duties of a servant was quick, and after she had only the basics, she quickly became my exclusive servant so as not to stand out a little more.”

Considering that it was similar to the time when Na-ri Geum, who was a B-class hunter at the time, stopped her hunter activities and disappeared, it coincided with Si-hee’s words to some extent.

“I thought I had been hiding it well from the eyes of Nari unnies for the past three years…”

“Such Eun-byeol, no, N-Ri disappeared three days ago, and Si-Hui is looking for the missing N-Ri, so her face looks so tired.”

“… Nari is my first colleague, and the only one who stayed by my side besides Seongcheol. Of course, that woman had a lot of credit for the story that happened next to me…”

“…”

The golden-haired girl stares at the red-haired girl with hateful eyes.

Perhaps Do Ye-hee had lost her temper thinking of the colleagues she had taken away from her until now.

In order not to add unnecessary misunderstandings, it would be nice if she explained a little more properly about what she did to Si-hee.

“… That’s why you should have cultivated your eyes to see people well, Si-hee. Your eyes are knotholes, so they’re getting entangled in bugs that have no choice but to use you.”

“What… ?”

“You have to change the way you still think of those bitches as colleagues.”

Every time I open it, that snout that makes the listeners excited for no reason, the communication skills were really bad.

… It’s not for nothing that Sihee calls her a crazy bitch when she calls her.

Even in this situation, it was only natural that he would grow hot after dealing with a woman who could only say that for a dozen years.

“Crazy year. Are you even human? I told you not to touch me as much as I do. On the subject of stealing more than 10 people from me like that, now Nari and Seong-cheol… !”

“Don’t take care of your loved ones, Si-hee. It’s true that I contacted Mr. Kim Seong-chul without your knowledge, but I didn’t do anything about Mr. Ri.”

“Don’t be shy, you bitch! If you don’t bring it right in front of me right now, then I’ll kill the real you, Do Ye-hee and all.”

“Don’t use vulgar words. How on earth did your personality get ruined like this?”

… That’s probably the cause of more than half of them.

If left as it is, it seemed like it would only promote a physical dogfight instead of a constructive conversation, so I moderated the two and intervened in the conversation.

You can’t afford to waste time arguing like this to deal with problems that need to be addressed right now.

“It’s okay, both of you, stop. More important than that, right now is finding Nari, isn’t it?”

“I’m sure that woman is hiding it… ! No matter what means you use, you can’t take away the master from me, so cowardly and forcefully… !”

“I didn’t do it, Si-hee. Cultivate a perspective to look at things a little more calmly.”

“It was a week ago that you started taking a break while skipping public work as you were on vacation! Besides, Nari went missing three days ago! Besides, today they even invaded Seongcheol’s house… Anyone can see that you are the most suspicious… !”

“… Well, it can certainly look like that in your eyes.”

“That’s right! Looking at the fact that it disappeared from morning to evening every day, saying it was a vacation, it must have been making a disgusting and shady plan behind the scenes… !”

First of all, if you listen to Si-hee’s words, it’s clear that Do Ye-hee is the prime suspect right now.

Even so, her trust in her was negative through her bottom, and there was even a situation where her gold nari seemed to be acting suspiciously just in time for her disappearance.

In a way, it must have been her natural course for this woman to be the first arrow of doubt to fly.

“… And you already knew that Eunbyeol would be gold.”

“It was too obvious. An apprentice maid who suddenly came into the house at the time Si-hee’s dearest friend disappeared.”

“Why? Because of what sir did to you? Is it because of interrupting a duel just once in the Black Mud Swamp? !”

“Si-hee, the bowl is not small enough to hold grudges over trivial things like you.”

“These twins… !”

-Jaaaaa!!

The second slapping strikes Do Ye-hee on the other side of the cheek without even stopping.

Emotions intensified at the thought that she might lose her oldest friend.

Even though Do Ye-hee was slapped by her, she was calmer than expected and was clearly telling her sister what she was going to say.

“… I’d say hit it if it makes your head sink, but it doesn’t look particularly effective.”

“What… ?”

“Think a little more calmly. Sihee, just because I am right in front of your eyes, don’t judge the situation with preconceived notions.”

“It’s not prejudice… !”

“If I was going to do something to that child, wouldn’t it be rather strange that I only moved after three years?”

“… !”

Si-hee couldn’t easily refute Do Ye-hee’s words and was at a loss for words.

Conversely, Do Ye-hee seemed to be persuading her to have a proper conversation even though she had already been slapped twice.

Something about her, just the feeling of the atmosphere, made it clear that she had committed it, so there was a sense of uncertainty.

For some reason, she had a hunch that this woman did not hide the gold or pose a threat to her safety.

Of course, it’s just my speculation with no clear basis.

“Uh, not too long ago, Nari went up against you… I’ve been preparing since then…”

“There have been several times before that Nari made me feel uncomfortable. Besides, if I had been going to do something to him like you said, he would have made arrangements much quicker instead of taking a vacation.”

“…”

“In the first place, don’t you ever think that the way you said you would protect my master was too lax?”

“What… ?”

“I know you want to keep that child out of your sight as much as possible, but he should have expected enough that you would be the first to suspect him if he disappeared.”

“…”

Due to Do Ye-hee’s logical words, this time, Si-hee became a mute who ate honey.

Toward her, her Do Ye-hee crossed her arms and continued her calm conversation.

“… Still, I don’t think his disappearance had anything to do with my vacation.”

“Huh?”

“… What?”

“If I had known it was going to be like this, I would have put someone else I could trust by my side. Even if the opportunity presented itself, I never thought that such drastic measures would be used.”

“What are you talking about… ?”

Do Ye-hee mumbles words that are hard to understand at once.

Seeing her pottery attitude, Si-hee glared at her with her eyes, still unable to clear her doubts.

Do Ye-hee continued her words with a shameless expression as if she were talking about something for granted.

“How do you think that child has been safely protected within the Dokyung Group?”

“… ?”

“I told you. Shihee’s method was too obvious.”

“… Uh?”

“Who do you think it was that kept her suspicions away from those troublesome sisters in Geumhyang until now?”
