Pay With Your Heart Chapter 365

Chapter 365: Not Deserving.

The atmosphere of the room ca to a stifling chill as the others evacuated the room, leaving the father and son duo in the death glaring contest they’d indulged in. No one was certain of what the problem was, but a near-future of war was in clear sight, and knowing the capabilities of both n, no one could predict the outco of this unfortunate incoming event.

“Do you really want to do this?” Dan-Han calmly asked yet his voice was challenging.

Father Lee’s brow lifted as he feigned ignorance to his son’s question. “Do what?

“Go against ,” Dan-Han replied.

The old man scoffed at the incredulity of his son’s words, and his gaze was no less disbelieving. “Go against you?” He amusedly asked, but whatever humour tickled the nerves of his face and made him smile, disappeared in an instant as a dark look quickly covered his face. “You’re the one going against ! I’m your father and the owner of this company, and I tell you what to do, not otherwise!” He snapped, his eyes revealing the hostility and annoyance twirling behind his obsidian eyes.

Seeing the enraged look on his father’s face, the calm hold on Dan-Han didn’t break, instead, he blankly looked at his father. He has so many tis seen him like that.

“Chairman Lee, true fathers care about their children’s well being and happiness, so please tell in what way are you qualified for this title?” He leisurely asked making the man’s eyes instantly narrow into slits.

.....

“What do you an?” He drawled.

“I believe you understood perfectly, chairman Lee. You’re the elder here, or are you not?” His brow was tauntingly curved.

“Lee Dan-Han!” Father Lee slamd his hand against the table in fury. The veins of his head popped to attest to how vexed he

was, but Dan-Han deeply sighed and ignored his father’s temperantal display. His veins were also throbbing with flaming anger, but he was holding himself back.

He lolled back on his seat, but his gaze remained keenly fixed on his father. “Can you not accept her?” He asked, his voice strangely low and calm. “Mother accepted her, so why can’t you? What’s stopping you?” Dan-Han asked. He still wasn’t able to understand his father’s flimsy reason for rejecting Eun-sun. To him, those reasons were null and void.

“Because she isn’t deserving of our Lee na.”

Not deserving of their Lee na? Dan-Han frowned at his answer. The stoic look on his face faltered.

“What’s so special about the Lee na?” Dan-Han coldly asked. He really could not understand his father’s logic. He was sorry to say, but his father wasn’t acting like a learned man at all. His attitude and stand toward Eun-sun were disappointing.

“Everything about the na makes us different.” Father Lee sharply replied.

“Different in what way?” Dan-Han asked, his voice and tone were tight and oozed displeasure. “What’s so different that you look down on another human being? Do you think when you die you’ll get so special treatnt in the afterlife? How does the na make you any different from so living under the bridge?” Dan-Han snapped. They glanced at each other with contemptuous fury till Father Lee darted his eyes away.

“I won’t accept her and that’s final!” He ferociously declared.

Dan-Han nodded his head in understanding. He wasn’t surprised by the man’s stubbornness. He was a fox and there was no need to reason with him.

He rose to his feet and buttoned up his jacket. “Eun-sun will be your daughter In-law whether you like it or not. She’s the only woman I’ll marry, so keep that in your mind.”

“Even if I’ll take the company from you?”

Dan-Han raised his head and intently glanced at his father. “The question you should ask is, are you capable of taking it from ?”

Father Lee chuckled. “You’re bold, son.”

“I’m bolder than you can imagine, chairman Lee. I’m the son you don’t want to make an enemy.”

“Are you threatening ?” Father Lee was amused by his son’s tenacity and strong will on fighting for his woman, but just as much as it amused him, it also irritated him.

“I don’t make threats, you taught better than that.”

“So you’re going to fight your father for this girl?”

“I’ll fight the whole country if I have to.”

Father Lee lolled back on his chair and shook his head. “Dan-Han, you’ve lost your mind.”

“Then I’ll insanely fight you for what I want.” He said as he pushed his chair away and turned to leave.

“Son, you’ll regret this.” Father Lee subtly threatened, halting Dan-Han on the spot. He looked over his shoulders and towards his father.

“I live with no regrets. Rember you started this, but I’ll help you finish it.” He assuringly declared. “I’ll see you in Country A.” He added and slamd the door on his way out of the room.

“Sir, is...is the project really kicking off today?” Secretary Chang-wok anxiously asked the mont Dan-Han stepped out of the conference room.

“Yes.” He indifferently replied.

“But Sir-”

“Get the plane ready, we leave in an hour,” Dan-Han ordered and strolled towards the elevator. He whipped out his phone and called his chef, Alex, to properly look after Eun-Sun, and he also asked Ni-Na to keep her company till he returned. With the ss his father has caused, he doubted if he’d make it ho for dinner.

His father was really pushing him by not restraining himself. Dan-Han was not appreciative of his father’s intrusion in his affairs. There were over a thousand ways he could put an end to this madness, but he was holding himself back, because no matter what he was still his father, and his mother wouldn’t be happy if they both got into a ssy fight, and neither would Eun-sun like it.

Dan-Han was sward with work all through the flight. Chang-wok handed him one file to another to review and sign.

“Sir, the issue of building materials would be a problem as only twenty per cent of our order has been delivered since you placed the project on hiatus,” Chang-wok inford him.

“Just twenty?”

“Yes.”

“Put a call across as soon as we land. We need those materials.”

“Yes sir.” Chang-wok echoed.

Dan-Han didn’t think they were ready for commissioning the project at the mont as he had laid things off for a while, but with what his father had done, he just had to go with it and make things work.

The event went more smoothly than expected, but Chang-wok could see the varying looks on the faces of so of the shareholders and directors present, and he knew what they ant. He glanced at President Lee who seed unperturbed.

“President Lee, is it true that the chairman...” He slurred when he t Dan-Han’s inscrutable gaze.

“Don’t pay attention to irrelevant things. Get those materials, that would be the first loopholes they’d be looking for.”

“Okay, sir.” He echoed before passing a tab to Dan-Han who cocked a questioning brow as he received it.

“Tae-Ho sent it minutes ago,” Chang-wok told him.

Dan-Han looked at what was on display on the screen and a frown frad his face. It seems Eun-sun might have seen correctly after all.
