CHAPTER 12: The Heiress Awakens

The following morning, Hana walked into Kang Enterprises—not as an outsider, but as the Chairman's daughter-in-law.

The gossip had spread like wildfire.The whispers followed her every step.

"That's her?""She was a nobody.""Guess marrying the boss's son has its perks."

She ignored them all.

Her heels clicked against the polished floors as she made her way to the executive level.Min-ho hadn't offered to show her around.Of course he hadn't.

This was enemy territory.

But Hana wasn't afraid.She walked into the boardroom like she owned it.

The room froze.

Min-ho sat at the head of the table, ice-cold as ever.His executives turned, their expressions a cocktail of shock and disdain.

"What is she doing here?" someone dared to whisper.

Hana smiled sweetly."Good morning. I'm Seo Hana. Kang Min-ho's wife. And from today, I'll be sitting right here."

She slid into the seat beside Min-ho.The audacity sent waves through the room.

Min-ho leaned in, voice low enough only for her ears."What game are you playing now, Hana?"

She smiled without flinching."Didn't you hear? I'm not just your fake wife. I'm also the legal heir of the Seo fortune. I figured it's about time I start acting like it."

Min-ho's gaze sharpened.

She wasn't bluffing.And he knew it.

From the shadows, Hana's enemies watched, seething.

She had been the prey for too long.Now, it was her turn to sit at the table.

Let them underestimate her.She would make them choke on their arrogance.

This was only the beginning.
