Prey (Lee Seohan) - Chapter 103
Seol Hee-nam glared with eyes like those of a demon.
Suhyeon met those eyes and spoke coldly.
“I told you, I don’t have it.”
She felt she shouldn’t show any sign of fear.
Seol Hee-nam’s face turned crimson with anger, veins bulging.
‘’You damn b-tch! If you don’t have it, then who does?’’
‘’Ack!’’
A rough hand grabbed Suhyeon’s hair.
“!’’
In the next moment, a sharp blade was pressed tightly against her neck.
Suhyeon’s eyes trembled with tension.
Seol Hee-nam, holding the gleaming blade to her neck, spoke in a chilling voice.
‘’Spit it out. Unless you want to die.’’
Gulp.
As Suhyeon’s throat moved, the rigid blade pressed eerily against her soft skin. Feeling the sharp pain, fear surged through her.
“Hurry up and speak!”
Seol Hee-nam shouted, his face filled with desperation.
“Put the knife down.”
“!”
At the low voice coming from behind, Seol Hee-nam flinched and turned around.
There stood Jeonghan.
Do… Do Jeonghan?
Suhyeon, with her hair still being gripped tightly, couldn’t see him.
“Right now.”
The deep, steady voice carried a chilling anger.
Seol Hee-nam gritted his teeth, his face flushing red under Jeonghan’s piercing gaze.
“Th-that bastard…”
Panicking, Seol Hee-nam rolled his eyes nervously, then forcefully dragged Suhyeon forward, using her as a shield with the knife still at her throat.
“Don’t come any closer! Unless you want to see this b***h die right in front of you!”
“……!”
The sharp blade pressed harder into Suhyeon’s delicate neck, leaving a thin, crimson line. Blood began to pool at the wound, and Jeonghan’s eyes narrowed with intensity.
Suhyeon, her gaze unsteady, looked at him.
Meeting her eyes, Jeonghan’s face hardened before shifting his gaze to Seol Hee-nam.
“Tell me what you want.”
“Jeonghan! Don’t—!”
“Shut up!”
“Ah!”
As Seol Hee-nam yanked her hair so hard it felt like her scalp might tear, Suhyeon winced in pain.
Gritting his teeth audibly, Jeonghan clenched his fist so tightly that his knuckles turned white, his voice dropping to a terrifyingly low tone.
“If there’s so much as a scratch on her.”
The chilling voice made Seol Hee-nam glance back at him.
“You won’t die peacefully.”
“……!”
Seol Hee-nam flinched at the terrifying gleam in Jeonghan’s eyes.
Fixing his murderous gaze on him, Jeonghan added,
“Keep that in mind.”
Seol Hee-nam’s eyes wavered.
Do Jeonghan, that bastard…
That guy would really kill him if he made up his mind to. There was genuine intent to kill in those eyes.
‘But now that I’ve shown this side of myself, there’s no turning back.’
Seol Hee-nam, his gaze trembling as he stared at Jeonghan, let out a crooked smile.
Having come this far, it seemed better to extort money from Do Jeonghan.
“Ah, right, Cheon-gyeong has way more money. Overflowing with it, aren’t you? A big corporate guy like you.”
“How much do you want?”
Jeonghan’s calm response made Seol Hee-nam sneer viciously, baring his teeth.
“How much do you think Seol Suhyeon’s life is worth?”
“!”
Suhyeon bit her lip.
She was filled with disgust at Seol Hee-nam, who was using her as a hostage to extort money from Jeonghan.
And she was angry at herself for getting into this situation.
Why hadn’t she stayed at the columbarium instead of coming here?
Seol Hee-nam yanked Suhyeon’s hair back again.
“Ugh…”
Suhyeon winced in pain, and Jeonghan’s brows twitched slightly.
Pulling her hair further back to ensure Jeonghan got a clear view of her face, Seol Hee-nam laughed and said,
“At least 10 billion won, don’t you think? Considering you’re still chasing after this woman even after the divorce.”
Unable to hold back any longer, Suhyeon shouted,
“Stop spewing your insane nonsense!”
With her head yanked back, Suhyeon shouted as she looked at Jeonghan.
“Don’t even think about giving this demon a single cent! Even if he gets the money now, he’ll create the same situation to extort you again!”
“You crazy b-tch…!”
Seol Hee-nam, his face flushed with rage, violently grabbed her hair and shook it, but Jeonghan’s low voice stopped him.
“I told you not to touch Seol Suhyeon.”
The menacing tone made Seol Hee-nam freeze mid-motion.
Jeonghan spoke again.
“I’ll give you 10 billion won.”
“!”
“Jeonghan!”
Suhyeon’s face turned pale, but Seol Hee-nam’s face lit up with excitement.
Staring directly at Seol Hee-nam, Jeonghan growled,
“I’ll give it to you, so let go of Seol Suhyeon first.”
“Ha, do you think I’m stupid? I’m not letting her go until I see the money hit my account in front of my eyes.”
Seol Hee-nam chuckled mockingly.
Still glaring at him, Jeonghan pulled out his phone. He unlocked it, made a call, and immediately switched it to speaker mode.
– “Yes, Director.”
The voice of a secretary’s office employee echoed through the speakerphone.
Seol Hee-nam squinted his eyes, observing Jeonghan closely as if trying to determine whether this was real or not.
With an icy expression, Jeonghan spoke.
“Prepare the transfer. Right now.”
