The Lee Family's Second Son-in-law

Threat Byung Man

Celia enters the NT Entertainment building after talking to Hye Ri. His slow steps made Jimmy wonder and immediately approached Celia.

"Celia, are you okay?" Jimmy asked in panic.

Celia nodded weakly.

"Isn't he the Lee Family's first son-in-law? Do you know him?" ask Jimmy again.

Celia shakes. "No! I don't know him. We only met briefly when Seok Joon took me to his family home."

"Huh?! So Mr Lee Kang Joon took you to the Lee family home? Well, that means he's serious with you, Celia. Never mind, forget your past and reach for your future with him." Jimmy's face was glowing.

"You're! Tell me why you asked me to come here! Surely Mr. Byung Han wants to see me, right?" Celia pulls Jimmy's hand and heads to their big boss's room.

On the other hand, Hye Ri was still very upset with Celia. Even so, there was a slight sense of pleasure from already silencing Celia's lips that she couldn't beat.

"You think I don't know your ace, Eun Chae. Let's see how long you last!"

Hye Ri who arrived at her office decided to contact her mother, Park Hye Mi who still lives in Mapo district.

Hye Ri left her entire past in Mapo to achieve her dream in the Big City. Hye Ri has always dreamed of being the daughter-in-law of a rich man. And now his dream is realized. However, many of the things he left behind included his status that was only from the common people.

"Hello, Mommy..." Sapa Hye Ri flat.

"Hye Ri! You finally called your mother too. Don't you miss your mother?" Hye Mi's voice sounded sad.

"Alright, mother! Don't play drama! I know you just want money from me, right? What did I send you yesterday wasn't enough?"

Hye Mi stroked her chest. "Hye Ri, I'm so grateful that you always send me money. But son, I miss you too. Can you visit Mom just once? It's been a long time since you..."

"Don't protest too much! Mother herself knew I was hiding my true identity that was just an ordinary family child, so don't demand anything from me. Now answer me! How could Eun Chae marry my sister-in-law? Didn't you hear anything about Aunt Sang Mi there?"

Hye Mi who missed her daughter so much can now only wipe away the tears that have fallen. "What do you mean, son? Your sister-in-law is married to Eun Chae? How come?"

Hye Ri growled in annoyance. "Mother! I asked Mom, why did you ask me back?"

"Honey, I didn't hear from Sang Mi after they moved."

"Then I find out quickly. If you can, find out who the father of Eun Chae's son is! Mum understand?"

Hye Mi tried to hold back her crying. "Yes, Son. I'll find out."

"Good! I'll add monthly money for you if you can get information about Eun Chae's son." Not saying goodbye, Hye Ri hung up her phone call with Hye Mi.

...***...

Celia sat on the sofa of Byung Han's room. Apparently the middle-aged man was not in his room yet. Celia decides to exchange messages with Sang Mi who is monitoring Mi Ran's condition in the hospital.

Sang Mi said that Mi Ran was awake and is now being examined by a doctor. Celia is very grateful because Mi Ran is a strong child and willing to undergo the treatment recommended by the doctor.

When the door of Byung Han's room opened, Celia immediately stood up to pay her respects. Not to forget Celia also developed her sweet smile in front of the CEO.

But immediately the smile on Celia's face disappeared upon seeing another figure entering her boss' room.

"You must have thought I was Byung Han, right?" That man's words seemed to hit Celia.

"I'm sorry!" Celia.

The man who came to see Celia is Lee Byung Man, Joon's father. Celia is suddenly nervous about having to deal with a man who is very influential in her country.

Who does not know the name of the Lee family? Even some sectors of the economy in Korea are controlled by the Lee Clan since decades ago. The production house where Celia makes money is the biggest entertainment business in the country.

"Listen, Cerelia Park. I just came here to have a casual conversation with you. So, you don't have to be tense."

Celia nodded. "I'm sorry if last night made a scene in your house, sir." Celia still lowered her face.

Byung Man sighed. She did not expect that her son would fall in love with a celebrity.

"I've investigated everything. You and my son met in Vegas. And you agreed to go through a contract marriage. Isn't that right?"

Celia looked up in shock. Celia knew if she would not be able to hide from this ruling man.

"As I told you last night, if your marriage isn't legal. Because Kang Joon didn't use his original documents. He's not Kang Seok Joon, he's Lee Kang Joon. So, you better stop this charade if you still want to dabble in the entertainment industry."

Celia closed her eyes. It felt like his chest was so tight.

"You don't love my son, anyway. Only my son is crazy about you. I've already betrothed him to the daughter of a respectable family. I don't want him to embarrass me in front of that family. Do you understand?"

Byung Man took something from inside his bag. "It! You can use this to treat your sick child!"

Celia stared at the nanar of a check that was in front of her. Celia felt humiliated by all of Byung Man's words, but Celia could do nothing. Even Celia can't afford it.

Byung Man stood up from his seat and left Celia who was still silently holding back her tears. Sooner or later this will happen. Just like Hye Ri said to her earlier.

...***...

In accordance with the promise he made this morning, Joon picked up Celia at the NT Entertainment building. Celia who just finished filming the commercial was instantly greeted with a warm smile of Joon to her.

Celia smiles back at Joon. Celia does not want to show that she is sad because of Joon's father's words.

"You must be tired, want to go home or have dinner first?" greet Joon when the two of them are facing each other.

"Hmm, I'm tired. It turns out that filming ads is quite time consuming as well. But this is quite fun because it only lasts one day. Mr. Byung Han has already terminated my drama contract due to Mi Ran's condition."

Joon smiled with relief. "So you have plenty of time to take care of Mi Ran. Let's go!" bring Joon.

"Kang Joon Lee..."

"Hmm, what's wrong?"

"Can you hug me?"

Celia's request made Joon frown his forehead. Joon never thought Celia would ask for something like this.

Joon smile. Joon, who has dimples, makes him more handsome when he smiles.

"Of course," Joon replied happily and immediately gave a warm hug to Celia.

Celia's heart was calm when she hugged Joon. Although Celia is not willing to admit her feelings, but in the depths of her heart, Celia does not want to lose Joon. Celia wants to fight alongside Joon to fight Lee's family against their marriage.

Celia inhaled deeply the scent of a man's body in front of her. Celia doesn't even care if they're in a public place now.

"Get up once," muttered Celia.
