Official Announcement

"How dare you talk to me in this tone?" Ji Seo Yun questioned her.

She expected Kiaraa to continue her fake act with her too and didn't expect her to insult her by talking back.

Kiaraa chuckled as if she heard some joke, "One does not need guts to talk back to worthless people, who live on other people's money and show-off as if it belongs to them"

Ji Seo Yun's eyes widened in shock and she looked at her son, who was helplessly shaking his head.

"You will let her speak to me like that?"

'And it happened' Song Ji Hun knew his mom will next shout at him.

"Mom, you brought it upon yourself" Song Ji Hun calmly answered and walked away from there, to make a phone call.

He could make this call some other time, but he chose to leave amidst this drama, unlike Kiaraa he prefers leading a peaceful life and hates drama.

"How dare he talk to me like this and walk away?" Ji Seo Yun was furious with her son and glared at Kiaraa, "You did something to my son, you are the reason he is acting like this, he never talks to me in this tone, you are ruining a mother and son's relationship."

"Honey, stop being rude to Kiaraa. Don't forget she is our daughter-in-law" Song Jae Ho, her husband stepped up to make peace.

"Then why don't you scold her for being rude to me?" Ji Seo Yun questioned her husband.

"You are the elder one here, stop acting like a child" Her husband scolded her and looked at Kiaraa, "Dear, don't mind her but from the next time please be respectful towards your mother-in-law, after all she is older than you."

Song Jae Ho, nicely talked to Kiaraa and politely requested her.

"Sorry father, I'll be mindful the next time" Song Jae Ho, is the only person from the Song family, Kiaraa truly respects.

So, she didn't go against her father-in-law and was polite towards him.

"Grandpa, coming on to the main topic, I don't mind you giving away the Lee conglomerate to Aera. It also seems, this is what uncle and aunt too would prefer. If majority of the family wishes to see Aera, taking over our businesses, I am sure it is the right thing to do"

Aera was not feeling happy about this situation, especially after she heard Kiaraa's words.

She announced she wants the CEO position only to hurt Kiaraa and to show her how it feels to crave for something your whole life, almost have it but get it snatched away at the last minute.

She wanted Kiaraa to suffer but here Kiaraa was talking as if Lee conglomerate belongs to her and she is sacrificing it for Aera.

It didn't make Aera happy at all. She can't even play dirty tricks like Kiaraa and say she doesn't want the position as she herself said it out aloud that she wants it.

'Let it be, I'll first gain some power and eventually I'll make Song Ji Hun mine' Aera decided.

Grandpa Lee looked at Aera and smiled, "Dear, are you sure you can carry the responsibilities of the Lee conglomerate well?"

This was the final step of confirmation he needed before he officially announces the next heir to the family.

Later, he would announce it to the media too.

Aera hesitated before answering her grandpa's question.

'In the heat of the moment, I said I want it but can I manage everything?' Aera was kind of regretting her decision but she casually glanced at her sister, who was smirking at her.

Kiaraa's gaze clearly said, 'YOU CAN'T DO IT! YOU WILL FAIL'

"Yes grandpa, I can do it. I won't disappoint you" Aera declared.

"Kiaraa, you too sure about your decision?" Grandpa Lee asked her and she nodded in affirmative.

Grandpa Lee asked everyone's opinion from the Lee family. Except for Lee Gun, all agreed with Aera being the CEO.

As the majority of the family was in favour of it, grandpa Lee announced his decision.

"I am going to make an official announcement declaring Aera as the next CEO but…"

Grandpa Lee paused and looked at every member, who paid utmost attention to him as they didn't expect a 'but' in the sentence, except for Kiaraa, who was hoping to hear something that is in her favour.

She knows her grandpa well. No matter what, he won't give away his hard work by taking an emotional decision.

In Kiaraa's case, he knew her capabilities so he didn't mind giving his business to her but the same was not the case with Aera and therefore Kiaraa pulled this fake act.

"I am going to make an official announcement declaring Aera as the next CEO but..."
