Everything Was A Calculated Risk

The problem that almost toppled the big Ichikawa family was due to the heir's miscalculation.

Ichikawa Satoru was the first-born male in the Ichikawa young generation. He was also the eldest brother of Mitsuru.

Because of his high status in the family, Ichikawa Satoru grew up to be a crooked and selfish individual. But, not one really dared to discipline him.

Not when the Old Madam Ichikawa adored him greatly.

Before, Ichikawa Satoru was kept in check by the old master but, after the latter's death three years ago, there was no one who could rein him in. Even the current president, Mitsuru's father couldn't do anything. 

During Kousuke's first time meeting Mitsuru, the latter openly gave him a suggestion. It was to collaborate and bring benefits for both of them.

"Let's get married. I'll help to boost your company while you help me to get my brother's spot."
