What? Who's this woman?

Jeon Ju-hui knew Professor Jang Chan-u by sight. The picture-perfect middle-aged woman standing beside him gave her a stab of jealousy.

There was one more reason the Yeondae Group lagged behind Ojeong: its children's looks.

The Ojeong Group's children had a different kind of presence.

They stood out even among the children of other chaebol families.

Each had a strange individuality that made them hard to approach.

But the Yeondae Group's children, maybe because the bloodline ran strong, never got called beautiful or handsome.

And yet the middle-aged woman standing there now looked almost unreal.

Middle-aged as she was, she looked like she was in her mid-thirties.

There were fine wrinkles, but her skin was clear and her figure slim.

She carried an air of nobility.

She'd seen countless upper-class wives, but rarely a middle-aged woman with that much grace.

"Ah! Chairman Ju!"

"Yes~. She's doing incredibly well these days. Seol-ran here is the one who bought Jungyong University, too."

"That's right! I heard Jungyong University changed hands—so Chairman Ju's daughter bought it. Nice to meet you. I'm Oh Dong-suk of Hongin University."

"I've heard so much about you. I hope we'll get along."

"Of course~ We both own school foundations, so we should be friends~. Let's do well together."

Oh Dong-suk, the Hongin University wife, put on a big smile.

Private-school owners had a lot to gain from knowing one another.

They say she paid full price for…
