Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

chapter 10



shooting star

“I’m going to see a lawyer today.”

One day when such an ordinary life flowed, Eugene said.

“lawyer? Maybe because of the lottery? Did something happen?”

It was a shooting star that seemed to start a game just by hearing the word “lawyer”.

Already to my father’s company, to my brother’s divorce suit…

If it wasn’t for winning the lottery, wouldn’t it be a situation where the family would be in trouble?

But being a lawyer in America, I couldn’t help but be surprised.

“no. to apply for permanent residency. So I’m going to see an immigration lawyer.”

“Are you going to immigrate?”

Yoosung said, sweeping his chest.

“maybe. I want it to be better. I heard that lottery winnings can be used to fund investments in the United States. Then there is no need for complicated proof of source of funds. All you have to do is prove where the money you used to buy the lottery came from. So it makes things a lot easier. What’s more, bringing hundreds of millions of dollars to Korea would be a pain in the ass.”

“What. Not bad.”

“So what are you going to do?”

“What?”

“Shall we apply for permanent residence together? Because you are a family, it is much easier for you to apply for investment immigration.”

“You want me to come and live in America? That’s a bit…”

Yoosung didn’t seem to want to live in America.

In fact, it was the same in my past life.

Even if Eugene settles down in the United States and asks her parents and Yoosung to come, her family only visited a few times for tourism and did not immigrate.

“You don’t have to come and live, but it will be convenient for you to work.”

“Well, you don’t have to do it right now, is it?”

“Sure. Think slowly. Or you can apply for a work visa later.”

Eugene had a lot of work to do with his younger brother in the future, but he did not intend to force it. He had more aptitudes as a developer than a manager, and he was enjoying it.

“It’s a job, so I’ll think about it for now.”

In the end, only Eugene applied for immigration.

I thought it would be anyway.

“And this week we’re setting up companies in LA and New York respectively.”

There was quite a bit more work to be done than I expected.

“If you are planning to immigrate, you will need a company.”

“There is, too, and if you want to send funds to your father’s company, it is better to create a company here and invest in it than to send it as an individual.”

“ah! I will. Isn’t it enough just to shoot money?”

“uh. If you do that, you will only pay a lot of gift tax. So it should be a normal form of investment by creating a company here.”

“Then you are going to be the major shareholder now?”

Yoosung said with a smile.

“no. You are the major shareholder. I’m going to create a company in your name. And you are borrowing money from me to finance the company.”

I have no intention of simply donating money to my father or Yooseong and paying a huge gift tax.

There was no money to waste for now.

Even if 200 million dollars seems like a lot, it’s tight enough to have a plan for where and how to invest.

“uh? Is something complicated?”

Yoosung tilted his head.

“Anyway, do what you say. So, let’s start with the name of the company you are going to establish.”

“Okay, creditor. Uh… Shooting Star!”

Yoosung decided on the name of the company without thinking too much.

“Is that enough?”

“uh. That’s it. I do anything with it Email or account.”

Not knowing what kind of company he will run in the future, Yoosung named it without even thinking about it.

“Hmmm… Shooting Star…. Is that your name in English?”

“yes. right. why? I do not like it?”

“What are you not listening to? It’s your turn. not. Very good.”

Shooting Star Heavy? Shooting star group?

It makes me happy to think about how their faces will change when they find out later that they will lose everything they’ve built to a company with such a sleazy name.

There was no reason to delay, so I immediately applied for the establishment of a company by brothers Eugene and Yooseong.

“Shooting Star LLC·······. But what is an LLC?”

Yoosung saw an unfamiliar name on his company name and asked for an explanation.

“Limited Liability Company. Unlike corporations, there is no need to pay corporate tax and there is no obligation to disclose company financial information, so it is quite convenient for us.”

“I see.”

It was still a meteor who wasn’t very interested.

He also promoted the establishment of a corporation in Korea.

Yoosung insisted on the name of a shooting star again this time, and Eugene had no intention of stopping him at all.

“Is the boss famous in Korea?”

One evening, before leaving work, John Westwind asked.

“I do not know. Maybe it’s because of winning Mega Millions. Other than that, I have no reason to be famous.”

“When I go out these days, I can sometimes feel the boss staring at me. There have been a couple of times that have been bothering me.”

Westwind said with a slightly stiff expression.

“okay? What kind of person were you?”

“Once a Hispanic man. It was once a white man.”

“Then it has nothing to do with me being famous in Korea.”

“It is not in my jurisdiction or in my ability to judge that.”

Westwood said with a laugh.

“The eyebrows were a little odd. As soon as our eyes met, he immediately ran away. I said it because I thought it would be better for you to know.”

“What do we do in this case?”

“The response depends on whether the boss poses a real threat. If it’s obvious that you really have an opponent, you need to increase your security level. But it may simply be that the eyes are crossed. Unless the boss poses a clear threat, we will be more careful.”

“Let’s see first. If more of this happens in the future, please let me know. thanks.”

“I am just doing what I have to do.”

Westwood replied with a grin.

Late that day, Eugene received a call from Cheol-woo of Sejong Public Relations.

– I sent you what I said then. Check it.

“okay. It was a lot of hard work.”

– uh. It was really hard. As you said, safety comes first, so it was very difficult trying not to expose our side. Your opponent is your opponent. It’s not easy to collect secret stories about the grandson of the president of a large corporation.

“Safety is the most important thing in the future, so take that as a top priority.”

– This time I had to use something other than the official route. So there will be something to be satisfied with.

“What if it was an unofficial route?”

Cheol-woo replied with a hint that it was difficult.

– Well, police records and stuff like that. You know that’s not our major, right? There is one heungshin place that is good at that. It’s a former detective’s place, and we put on a mask to hide us while leaving it there and sending money through Quick. Anyway, it was crazy.

“okay. Please pay whatever you want.”

– Even if you don’t, I’ll charge you a lot. So very startled that I fell asleep. haha. ah! And how about publicity? Tell me if there’s anything stupid. We will do our best to meet your needs.

“Not now. Let’s do better together in the future.”

– uh. okay. You too, take care of yourself in a foreign land.

I hung up the phone and opened the file sent by Sejong PR and read it step by step.

The second son of Ryu Geun-soo, CEO of Daeyang Heavy Industries.

* Enrolled as Ryu Geun-soo at the age of 13.

* No records of elementary school attendance.

* No events with brothers, sisters and mothers.

* Only father attends high school and college graduation ceremonies.

* Except for Ryu Seong-gyu, the appearance of the other family members gathering together affectionately was frequently exposed.

* Combining the above facts, there is a strong possibility that it is the rebirth of an outsider.

* Many women’s groups.

* Singularity. A lot of testimonies from people around them saying they are interested in married women or dating partners.

* Possibility of distorted s*xual orientation due to childhood trauma.

* He is known for his pleasant personality, but at the same time he has records of violence.

* Records related to violent acts 4 times in middle school, 2 times in high school, and 1 time after becoming an adult.

It was a much more faithful report than I expected.

In addition to accessing public records that are difficult for the general public to access, facts that can only be known from close people are listed.

Of course, I don’t trust all of them.

If it is a request from a client who does not know who it is, we cannot rule out the possibility that the Heungshinso may have provided arbitrary materials.

So I thought I’d use it as a reference only.

Until you meet each other, it’s hard to know what kind of person the other person really is.

‘by the way······.’

While Yooseong went to the gym to iron, Eugene opened her laptop and played a video.

It was very unpleasant to see the woman who was once his wife, and the woman who was now his fiancee, in the arms of another man, even after quite some time had passed.

However, Eugene was well aware that sometimes unpleasant and painful things were to be done willingly.

“Chief, I think you’re too mean.”

A very familiar voice comes out.

“I like to joke around.”

“Still, this is way too much of a joke. You’re going to install a camera in your newlyweds’ house to monitor it…”

“That way, you can rest assured that you are not doing anything else.”

“I don’t really want to get married.”

A woman’s voice filled with regret.

“I want him to marry me.”

The man’s voice was full of playfulness.

“You know that the general manager is so perverted, right?”

She was speaking in a childish voice.

—-

While the video was playing, Eugene was silently watching the monitor without frowning once.

Rather than anger, there is a sting of displeasure.

But it’s not unbearable.

To some extent it could be seen objectively.

Like a story in a movie or someone else’s story.

Is it because it’s been too long?

Or was it because the marriage could have been avoided this time?

For a moment, Eugene reflected on the marriage that had pushed herself and his family into the abyss.

It took a very long time for Eugene to be able to open her heart to someone again after the marriage, which was long if it was long and short if it was short.

You don’t have to go through those awful moments this time.

There is nothing more terrifying than the fact that for years the person whom you thought was your everything and to whom you loved it was not your bloodline.

throb!

I thought I had forgotten everything, but something comes up again from deep inside my heart.

Some wounds seem to never heal.
