I was possessed and it turned out to be a villainous sub dog?! — 6.15

While I was thinking about it for a while, I suddenly heard a loud voice from the back of my head.

“Hey, kids! Even though there’s no one else around, you’re still lying there all day long with Yeontan in your belly, your eyes wide open. How embarrassing…”

“That’s not it, sir!”

Why does the director only appear out of nowhere at times like this?

I hastily tidied up my clothes and pushed Chase out of bed.

He glanced at me with a look of discontent, but soon turned his head away. I wondered why he was acting more upset when I was the one who was being treated unfairly.

“I remembered what you said yesterday, so I looked into it a bit more, but there hasn’t been much progress. That the Chairman’s case.”

But the director’s words, carefully observing my expression, made me forget what had just happened. When I thought of my deceased mother and stepfather, I felt the blood in my body run cold.

Then, Chase, whose expression hardened, gently stroked my hand and locked his fingers with mine. As the warmth overlapped, I felt the sweet scent gradually spreading, and I barely let out a deep breath.

“It was already a closed case. It would be difficult to find out the truth now.”

As I answered with difficulty, the director nodded with a dark expression.

But Chase said he would definitely reveal that someday. He wanted to take away the vice chairman’s shares and get back the Kaisa Group.

Even if it wasn’t for his mother’s business, he wouldn’t avoid the vice president who tried to touch Yeon-tan anymore. He couldn’t just hand over the whole Kaisa to the vice president like this.

“First, let’s talk about the Tesati Shipping issue. I’ve been thinking about it a bit more…”

Chase mentioned Tesati in a serious voice. The director’s expression also became serious, as if he remembered what they had discussed yesterday. Tesati was currently on a roll, posting record-breaking results every day, but considering Chase’s prediction that this boom would not last even a year and my own possessed prediction… it was impossible to leave the company as it was.

How did they do it in the original?

If you recall correctly, Chase, who was the planning director of the Arteon Group and was in charge of the group’s strategy, chose to sell Tesati Shipping to none other than Leoruka’s Kaisar Group after operating it for about a year. This was partly be cause he expected Tesati to not be able to withstand the next recession, but there was another, bigger reason.

His true goal was to take revenge on Leoruka, who caused his mother’s death.

At that time, Leoruka was desperate to achieve visible results in order to stand up to the vice president’s faction. Just like the

current vice president, who is looking for a company to acquire in order to keep me in check as I emerged as a strong contender for the succession plan while holding both Tesati and Lucais Companies in my hands. Chase, who noticed this, approached Leoruka, who still had feelings for him and was obsessed with him, and handed over Tesati to the Kaisar Group. However, Tesati, which had been on a roll, was unable to overcome the economic crisis that struck again and went bankrupt in an instant.

This was the beginning of the collapse of the Kaisar Group like a sand castle. In the end, it was because of this incident that cornered Leoruka made the extreme choice of throwing himself into the ice lake.

This is such a scary black panther…

When I thought about how my fate would not have been much different if things had gone as planned, a cold sweat ran down my back.

A calm voice in my ear woke me from my endless thoughts. I raised my head absentmindedly and the moment my eyes met Chase’s, a premonition came to me.

Oh, no way.

“I plan to sell Tesati in about six months”

Chase’s long eves curved gently. A smile formed at the corners of his slowly moving lips.

“Let’s start with a rumor. It could start with the fact that the new management of Tesati Shipping is inexperienced and lacks

competence.”

“Should we spread such rumors? Even if we don’t, there will be countless groups that want to take over”

Director Bruno tilted his head as if he didn’t understand at first. Chase smiled and answered.

“You can’t just hand it over to just anyone. If you want to catch the big fish you’re after, you need to lay the groundwork, right? If we were to suddenly release((sell)) the Tesati that we’re doing well in, the suspicious opponents wouldn’t move easily, so it would be better to give them a reasonable excuse in advance.”

“You’re aiming for it? Do you have a buyer in mind?”

“I see someone who seems to be very interested in the shipping industry. He’ll definitely be interested in you.”

“Could it be Vice President Kaiser?”

“Who else would it be?”

Even as he answered the director, Chase’s gaze was directed at me. His eyes, bathed in sunlight, glowed black. In the original, Chase sold Tesati Shipping to the Kaisa Group in order to get revenge on Leoruka. It seems that he intends to sell Tesati to Kaisar this time as well. Perhaps this is the power of the original.

However, only the actual owner of Caesar has changed.

“…Will it be okay?”

I asked in a trembling voice, clutching Chase’s clothes tightly. Then Chase reached out and grabbed my hand, interlocking our fingers.

“Trust me, puppy?”

What gave me faith at that moment was neither Vice President Caesar’s greed nor the power of the original but the warmth from Chase’s palms touching mine and his firm yet affectionate gaze. Chase’s gentle response and kiss on my forehead brought peace to my heart.

“Guys… Please don’t forget me…?”

And there was Director Bruno, who was pretending to sob in sorrow and shaking his sturdy shoulders. It was now the Vice President’s turn to suffer the fate that had brought Leoruka to ruin.

A week later, I was finally discharged after being diagnosed as being able to move around comfortably. After being locked up in the hospital for over a month, I was finally released. There were still about three weeks left until my due date, but since the baby could be born at any time. I just had to go to the hospital when labor started.

“Then I’ll see you in a few weeks, sir.”

I was suddenly upset that I wouldn’t be able to see Mr. Jeffrey, whom I had met every day for about a month, so I muttered gloomily. Then the doctor smiled and patted my shoulder.

“You can come and play if you’re bored. We can have lunch together too…”

“Why would you make a pregnant (wo)man do something so dangerous?”

“…”

But as expected, the doctor and I both kept our mouths shut because of Chase’s sudden interruption. I don’t even know what context he’s talking about. So what’s dangerous? Come play when you’re bored? Have lunch?

“It’s not good for him to receive pheromones. Leo should only receive my pheromones. Because I’m the baby’s father.”

The correct answer was to have lunch together… Does that make sense, huh? Besides, is it just me or is it that I feel a hint of pride every time Chase says that baby daddy thing? Why on earth… what… is he… proud of?

“I’m a beta, Chase”

But I was even more embarrassed by Mr. Jeffrey’s calm response. What did you say to Beta, you black panther!

“Oh, is that so? I didn’t know.”

“I don’t know what you don’t know. You and I grew up next to each other for 15 years.”

“I might have forgotten, why do you keep asking so many questions? Anyway, let’s go now.”

“Okay. Go quickly, please.”

The doctor waved his hand as if he was annoyed, but he still smiled kindly at me. I quickly left the examination room, dragging Chase’s arm as he tried to say something to the doctor. I felt bad about having to abruptly part with Dr. Jeffrey, whom I wouldn’t be seeing for a long time, but I couldn’t help it because I didn’t know what the black panther would say.

Anyway, the next day after returning home, I was looking at pictures and videos of the house we would be moving into after the baby was born. We had originally planned to go house hunting together, but since I was suddenly hospitalized for a long time. Chase went alone and signed a contract for one of the places we had previously decided on as a candidate, and took pictures and videos.

It was a two-story single-family home with a living room, kitchen, and study on the lower floor, and two bedrooms, a dressing room, and a terrace on the upper floor. They said it was newly built, but I liked it because it looked clean and comfortable even in the video.
