The lawyer spoke with an awkward expression.
The Taesan Group had eight affiliates, but Jang Do-myeong’s assets consisted entirely of partial shares in Taesan Shipping and Taesan Trading, and a few pieces of real estate.
“The 10.5% stake in shipping held by the Chairman is currently pledged as collateral to the bank.
The 1.2% stake in Trading only exists on paper, as the creditors are planning to implement a complete capital reduction.
Even this house has a mortgage set up under Jungsan Group Chairman Jang Do-ung, who paid off the bank debt on his behalf last year.”
“…”
“At least the Yangpyeong villa and the LA Villa in the USA will likely go to the two brothers, but for you, Madam, there is nothing…”
“I don’t mind.
As long as our children grow up well, that’s all that matters.”
This time as well, Woo Hee-yeong answered without hesitation.
It was a distinctly different appearance from before, when she had always seemed nothing but benevolent with a gentle smile.
After the lawyer talked about the inheritance procedures for a while and left with Lee Ho-jun, only then could they each get some rest.
Returning to his room and laying his exhausted body on the bed, Min-jun stared at the ceiling with a dumbfounded expression.
‘Did I really become part of a royal family?’
At that time, Woo Hee-yeong was crouching in the corner of her room, sobbing.
She covered her mouth with her fist, afraid that the sound of her crying might leak out.
The empty space left by her husband, who had reliably protected her, was far too large.
While she was agonizing in sorrow, seeing young Min-jun wearing mourning clothes snapped her back to her senses.
Now, she had to protect her sons in her husband’s place.
That was why she had deliberately shown a strong front, but as expected, it wasn’t easy.
However, she couldn’t just give up either.
She was a mother.
She had to protect them somehow until her two sons grew up and could fully lead the group.

The next day, the Taesan Group secretariat distributed an announcement to various media outlets.
It stated that the deceased’s widow, Woo Hee-yeong, would take on the position of Chairman and operate the group without any setbacks.
As soon as the articles went out, internet message boards heated up.
– Whoa.
Since when does an ahjumma do management?
– Taesan is going to lose its touch now too.
If you have stocks, sell them off quick.
– They have Jang Yeong-jun, don’t they.
– He’s too young.
Vice Chairman Jang Do-hun would be better.
– Finally, a female Chairman in our country too.
Go ahjumma.
There were encouraging comments, but the majority were negative.
