Hae Jin, who was busy with work in her office, was interrupted by a phone call from her father.

"Hello Hae Jin"

"Yes, father"

"Today is the family dinner, I hope you will be present there this time, and don't forget to come on time." Said her Father.

Hearing this Hae Jin cursed under her breath and answered, "Okay Father, I shall be there by 8."

Hearing this reply Hae Jin's father ended the call.

Hae Jin sighed, a half-minute phone call exhausted her.

Hae Jin called her secretary. The secretary came and Hae Jin said, "I won't be coming for the company dinner. I have to go home."

The secretary looked at her and said, "Oh that's great! You should celebrate with your family."

Hearing this Hae Jin nodded happily and said, "Of course! Well, you guys enjoy too!" The secretary nodded and she left.

Hae Jin sighed seeing her secretary go and thought, 'Well, let's see what fun I will have today.'

Saying that she resumed her work after messaging Jung Eun that won't be there for dinner. She had to decide things regarding the decoration of an upcoming event.

It was 7:15, and Hae Jin finished up her work and left for her father's home. On the way, she decided to buy her father's favorite chocolate.

Reaching his house, she looked at the time. 7:56, Hae Jin smiled seeing that she was early, she rang the bell and waited for the doors to open.

The housekeeper opened the door and greeted Hae Jin with a warm smile. Hae Jin smiled and greeted her back. On the way inside she asked the housekeeper, "Ajumma, is everyone here?"

The lady replied, "No, your Oppa is yet to arrive." Hae Jin nodded and gave the chocolates to her as she went to the dining room.

Entering the room she saw her dad, mother, and sister already present. She smiled politely and said, "I'm here appa, I hope I'm not late."

Hearing her voice the three of them looked at her and her younger sister said, "No one cares even if you come." Hearing this, Hae Jin smiled and replied, "You still haven't learned to speak only when required. Mother, is this what you are teaching your lovely daughter? Or only I got the special treatment?"

Joo Young, her mother clenched her mouth in annoyance and said, "Ignore your sister as she is still a little immature, come sit down."

Hae Jin smiled and sat down. Soon the eldest son came and they started to have their dinner.

They all ate very silently. But after a few minutes, Hae Jin's father, Yang Min said, "Hae Jin-ah, I'm hearing that your company is doing very great and that you might receive an award for your achievement."

Hae Jin nodded and answered, "Well, it is doing great but I don't know much about the award."

Yang Min sighed and said, "Well, how about taking over my company and handing over your company to someone else? All the shareholders want you as the future owner. I can't keep rejecting them."

Jeong Woo, hearing this frustratedly threw his cutlery and said, "Just how many times do I have to convince you that I'm doing great as well? I just need a little more time to get used to the company Father!!"

Joo Young looking at her son misbehaved and said, "Calm down son, you shouldn't talk to your father like that, finish your dinner. I told the cook to prepare your favorite dessert for you."

Hearing this, Jeong Woo sighed frustratedly and said, "Mom, is this time to talk about dessert!? Dad is saying I'm not a good CEO! Dad, why do you always bring this up when we have dinner? The company is doing just like the time when you left! What more should I do to prove it to you? And stop bringing this b!tch Hae Jin in this matter!"

Young Min, hearing him curse, shouted, "Mind your tone! She is your sister! Is this what your mother taught you!? And you said the problem yourself! The company is still 3 years behind! You have not brought the company up yet!! Not even one huge deal!! We are only dealing with our regular clients. And look at Hae Jin! She started her own company 5 years ago and brought it to number one in her field!! I gave you a very successful company, you just had to manage it! You are nothing but a spoilt brat who doesn't want to do anything and still wants everything you see and want!"

Hearing this, Jeong Woo got up and left the dining room. Joo Young, seeing her husband angry, said, "Honey, calm down, he is still learning, he will do better. I will talk to him, just enjoy the dinner, you can't have a high bp."

Hearing this, Yang Min sighed and said, "Hae Jin, I give that brat 1 year after that you take over! And Joo Young teaches that brat something! He doesn't realize what position he is in! 3 years even a high schooler would know what to do. He had the education from the best university yet he is like that! The shareholders are so disappointed with him."

Hae Jin sighed and said, "Well father I will again decline your request. What they want is my capabilities of running a company, they don't want me. And if oppa doesn't do well, you can always make Ha Na the next CEO or everyone's favorite Eun Woo, he will be coming back this year to complete his studies."

Joo Young looked at her with anger and said, "What are you saying dear, how can Ha Na take over? She is inexperienced. That will be too much for Ha Na. And Eun Woo would be too young for that position."

Hae Jin looked at Ha Na and then her mother and said, "Well I was 21 when I started my company so Eun Woo can as well. As for Ha Na, she has one year to learn everything, so you should believe in your daughter more. I know she is capable of this."

Hae Jin turned to Ha Na and said, "My lovely sister, didn't you want to beat me and become better? If you just sit and enjoy all the luxuries you will never be able to. I will be waiting for you at the top! You can take your mother's help. After all, she was the one who taught me how to survive in this competitive world. "

Saying this, she got up and was about to leave but she went to Joo Young, leaning in and whispered in her ears, "You should be a little strict with her, or else your flower will dry and die as soon as she gets out of the comfort, stepmother."

Saying this, she turned to her father and said, "Father, I shall go now, and yes I gave the housekeeper your favorite chocolate, don't forget to have some."

Saying this, Hae Jin got out and sighed in relief that this dinner was over. She was about to leave the house but saw her stepbrother standing there in rage.
