BXBX NOVEL Chapter 258 - Useless
Shattering sounds echoed across father Choi\'s private study; his body trembled as he watched the news. How did this happen?
There was only one person who could come at him like this, and it was none other than Lee Dan-Han. That boy!
"That damned Lee!" He roared, his entire body vigorously shaking with anger.
He immediately picked up his phone to call the chairman, but he didn\'t pick up.
"Curse those Lees. I curse them all!" He bellowed, clattering his phone to the floor.
How could they go this far? How had Dan_Han been able to do this? He had always been careful with all his dealings, so how the hell was this even possible?
"Ahh", He howled angrily, sending the picture frame lying on the table to the floor, completely shattering into pieces. This was bad; he was finished! And there was only one person to blame for this, and it was that foolish daughter of his!
If only she had been smart or capable of using that brain of hers!
He snapped his head towards Jin-Ho, who had been standing by the door, stoically observing his boss throw a tantrum.
"Get a plane ready we must leave at once!" He urgently ordered as he began to rummage through his desk to gather whatever was relevant to him. He wasn\'t going to go to jail. He might have lost his company, but there was no way he was going to jail. He wasn\'t going to give that little boy the satisfaction of sending him to prison.
"Yes, sir," Jin-Ho replied. He had only stepped out of the office when mother Choi and Mi-Ok came dashing into the office.
"Father, have you seen the news? Have you seen that video of me?" Came Mi-Ok\'s sharp and frantic voice. But her father ignored her.
Mrs Choi stepped forward and asked, "Honey is it true?" She didn\'t want to believe what she had seen and heard was true. She was still in shock after seeing the dreadful news of her husband being a wanted criminal and the video of her daughter going viral.
"Pack all you can. We must leave immediately," Came father Choi\'s cold reply as he continued what he was doing, not bothering to pay a glance at them, most especially that worthless daughter of his.
Mrs Choi was stunned to hear him roar like that. His reaction had just confirmed whatever was being said was true. She had always suspected her husband of having some under table dealings, but she didn\'t think it would be this grievous! And Mi-ok\'s scandal was a bummer.
Mrs Choi looked at her husband confusedly. "Leave? To where?" Where exactly could they run to at a time like this? She didn\'t need anyone to tell her who was capable of putting her husband on the authority\'s radar and doing something as horrible as leaking a sex video of her daughter. So how were they going escape the wrath of Lee Dan-Han talk more of the authorities? How and where were they going to live with this huge load of shame. Dan-Han\'s influence had no limit! Did he forget that?
Father Choi gazed at her with livid eyes, "Get your damn bags, woman!" He roared, startling Mrs Choi, who immediately nodded her head in understanding. She turned to Mi-Ok, who was staring at her father like a statue.
"Let\'s go." She pulled her by the arm, but Mi-Ok rudely nudged her away.
"Didn\'t you hear your father? Let\'s go!" Mrs Choi snapped at her. She was the cause of their current problem. She was the reason why her husband\'s name was being slandered on T.V as a criminal. He was being accused of embezzlement, murder among many other things.
"I\'m not going!" Mi-Ok snapped back, making both her parents look at her, especially her father, who looked like he could kill her on her stand.
"What do you mean by, you\'re not coming?" Her mother asked with lividity.
Mi-Ok turned to her and replied, "Because I\'m not going, and none of us is leaving!" She declared and turned to her father, "Father, you have to take that video down. I\'ll be ruined if you don\'t do something about it!" She snapped.
Father Choi\'s couldn\'t believe his ears. He stared at her, his jaw clenched as he watched with lividity. She was only concerned about herself? He had also been ruined. He had nothing. He had lost his company, and now he was probably going to be arrested soon if he wasted so much time!
With anger blazing eyes, he walked around the table, stopping right in front of Mi-Ok and the next second, his hand came crashing on her cheek with full force. "You fool!" He hollered. "This is all your fault," he added before landing her another slap on her face in a fit of anger, leaving Mi-Ok completely startled. Her eyes fully widened in shock.
"Yo...you slapped me?" She asked in utter disbelief, but her question provoked her father even more as he dealt her yet another slap.
That was it!
Her hands clenched as she stared at her father with much animosity. \'Why was he hitting her?
"Why are you hitting me?" She hollered at him, her eyes glaring at her mother, who was quietly standing by the side while she watched this injustice. "How is any of this my fault?!"
"Ask me one more time, and I\'ll skin you alive." He seethed, making Mi-Ok grit her teeth.
"Your foolishness has brought this upon yourself and me. You ruined my life\'s work with your stupidity, and you dare to ask me why I\'m hitting you? I\'m hitting because you\'re a fool! You\'re a mistake which should have never been born!" His red eyes burned with anger, the veins in his head fully popped.
"If you loved your image so much, you should have had the decency of not been filmed when you were engaging in such despicable act! You\'re simply useless!"
Useless?
Mi-Ok was shocked to hear her father say that. That was an unfair thing to say to a child. "But I didn\'t do anything." She said in a more lowered voice. "This was all that girl\'s fault, and she must have instigated Dan-Han to come at us like this. You should be looking for a way to get rid of her and that damned video."
Father Choi looked at her like she was mad. She was still thinking of getting rid of someone at a time like this? How the hell did he get such a daft and foolish person for a daughter?
Father Choi snapped his head to his wife and said, "If she doesn\'t want to leave, then let her stay. I have no use for a non-entity." He glared at Mi-Ok before returning his gaze to his wife again. "Pack your bag. Let\'s leave."
Leave?
"Without our daughter?" Mrs Choi asked.
"Yes, but if you want to stay, then by all means stay." He bellowed before grabbing the things he had gathered. He paid Mi-Ok one last look before storming out of the private room.
"Father!" Mi-Ok called, but he ignored her.
Mrs Choi tried convincing her daughter one last time, but she blatantly ignored her.
Left with no choice, she also left to pack her bag. If Mi-Ok wanted to stay behind, then that was her choice. After all, she\'s an adult.. And if she tries something foolish again, then that would be her cross to bear.
