The foundation chairman's office at the Hyundo Cultural Foundation. Min Seoyeong looked down at the report spread open on her desk.

Ha Tae-ung's photo was clipped to the first page.

The handsome, neat face with a smile playing on it grated on her.

He was far better-looking than her son, Gu Changjin.

"You're sure this is the boy?"

"Yes, Madam Chairman. I confirmed it with the young master too."

It meant leading kids who were every bit each other's equals.

How had a student without even Haryun's backing ended up in that seat? She couldn't make sense of it.

"He seems to have a lot of influence at school."

"We found he's close with the members, too. Kang Junu of the Ilseong house, Jang Jiyu of the Sindo Group,…
