Kiss the Scumbag-Chapter 7

At that, Mrs. Campbell coughed. Yujin noticed that she was holding back her laughter with dignity. It would have been nice to stop there, but Gordon was excited by Mrs. Campbell’s reaction and kept talking.

“You brought a child, too. How could you have just one? That can’t be right. You didn’t plan on giving birth to a series of children who didn’t even know their father and then pretending to be their father’s children, right? Well, that’s too bad. These days, with DNA testing, all those con artists go to jail. If you do something stupid, you’ll go to jail and your worthless child will be sent to an orphanage. Your child, whose parents you don’t even know, won’t be adopted because they’re con artists, and they’ll end up selling their bodies and dying on the street like you. So come to your senses and take this with you, right now. Then I’ll pretend it never happened.”

Gordon, who had been spewing out harsh words about the child, banged the envelope on the table twice with his hand as if he was looking at it. They were filled with confidence in victory and were therefore extremely arrogant. When the image of the lowly beast before his eyes, holding the envelope and hurriedly leaving the mansion, appeared vividly before his eyes as if it were real, Eugene, who had been listening silently, opened his mouth.

“I will decline.”

For a moment, their smiling faces froze. In an instant, the surroundings became quiet, and Yujin spoke again to them as if time had stopped.

“I appreciate your kindness, but I will decline.”

“What?”

Gordon spat out in a rough voice, and Mrs. Campbell furrowed her brow. Seeing that, ❀ Nоvеlігht ❀ (Don’t copy, read here) Yujin released the hands he had been holding behind his back. He continued to speak coldly, savoring a small sense of victory.

“Is that all you have to say? Then I will leave now. I want to rest quickly, since I have come a long way.”

“Hey, wait!”

Gordon, who had come to his senses late, hurriedly called out to Yujin, who was about to leave.

“Didn’t you hear what I said? I told you that your cheap tricks won’t work? I’m going to put you in jail as a con man! This time, you won’t get away with it as gracefully as last time!”

He howled like an animal, but Yujin became even more calm because of it.

“That’s great. If I try to commit a con like that, you should do a DNA test right away. Conspiracy is bad, so of course I should go to jail.”

Mrs. Campbell and Gordon looked at each other in confusion at Yujin’s reaction. They would be the ones who would be shocked if they were to do the test. Yujin was secretly looking forward to that moment, but he knew that it would never happen. They would also know very well that if it turned out to be true, they would be in trouble, so it would be difficult to proceed rashly. If they were to do the test, the results would be even more disastrous than they imagined.

Mrs. Campbell would rather be Harold’s child.

“If you think Harold left you something great, you’re mistaken.”

Mrs. Campbell finally spoke. Yujin answered, looking into her angry eyes.

“Then, if I miss this opportunity, it’s better for you, since I’ll be the one who regrets it.” freeweɓnovel.cøm

That’s it, he said, and quickly left the drawing room. It was to avoid giving them another chance to attack, but his heart was pounding as if it was going to burst even as he stepped into the hallway. He barely made it out and hurriedly closed the door, and a trembling sigh escaped his lips.

He did it.

He couldn’t believe it. He could say all the words he had in his heart to them. His voice didn’t even tremble. He didn’t panic or cry.

He did it.

With the overwhelming emotion, he momentarily forgot his fatigue. Hoo, Yujin let out a deep sigh of satisfaction and raised his head, but then paused. The butler was standing in the hallway, looking at him. The man who had glanced at his empty hands turned his gaze back to Yujin’s face.

“If you’re done with your business, I’ll show you to your room.”

The butler, who still spoke with almost no accent, glanced behind him. Yujin realized belatedly that the maid was standing there. After handing Yujin over to the maid, the butler readily went into the living room. As if the person he was going to provide service to was there. Yujin turned his head and hurriedly followed the maid who had already walked a short distance.

He went back down the long hallway and opened the side door, and soon a staircase was revealed. Just like before, it was a staircase used by employees. Yujin silently followed the maid who walked without looking back as if it was natural.

When the maid, who had climbed the endlessly long stairs, finally opened another door and stepped into the hallway again, Yujin felt a slight dizziness. He had lost his sense of direction and had no idea where he was.

The maid, like the butler, did not say a word while they walked straight down the long hallway. As the silence continued, the excitement from earlier subsided and he felt so tired that he could collapse, the maid finally stood in front of a room door. He could finally rest. The thought of seeing Angela’s face seemed to be fading his fatigue.

Unlike the butler, the maid quickly grabbed the doorknob, turned it, opened the door, and stepped back. It was then that he realized that the door to the room was different from before.

... ... Huh?

The size of the room that was wide open was enormous at first glance. Yujin, who was taken aback for a moment, looked back at the maid. As if wondering what was going on. The maid opened her mouth in an extremely businesslike voice.

“Then, please rest comfortably.”

“Okay, wait a minute.”

Yujin hurriedly called her over. Yujin hurriedly asked the maid who stopped walking and turned around.

“My daughter... isn’t she staying in the same room as my daughter? What is this room?”

“Sleeping in the same room as the child?”

The maid showed emotion for the first time. Even so, the end of her sentence went up slightly as if she was surprised. Yujin soon realized the situation. No one would sleep with a child in this mansion. Since the child was born, they sleep in their own room.

However, Yujin was not part of this household.

“Angie will be anxious when she wakes up. I will sleep with my daughter.”

“That is not possible.”

He was ready to open all the doors, but the maid immediately stopped him.

“Causing a commotion in the mansion is prohibited. If you do this, I have no choice but to guide you to the annex.”

Her face was stern. If he made even a little fuss, he would be dragged out. Yujin had already experienced this once, and he knew better than anyone that they could do it. The maid opened her mouth to Yujin, who was momentarily frightened.

“Don’t worry, I’ll show the child to you in the morning. You were ordered to use this place today.”

At those words, Yujin realized that this was something that had been planned from the beginning. Perhaps if Yujin refused the offer, this was what was prepared to happen. Thinking about it that way, everything from the butler seeing his empty hands to this point made sense.

This is how you’re going to make trouble.

Yujin bit his lip and then lifted his head. This childish contempt for people is still the same. Maybe he’s just waiting for me to make a fuss. Are you going to use that as an excuse to kick me out? That’s impossible.

“I understand. Then there’s nothing I can do.”

Before he went into the room, he gave the maid another request.

“Angela, please let me know when my daughter wakes up. Please.”

Even though he left a message, Yujin still couldn’t shake off his worries about the child. Angela was calm and mature compared to her peers, but she was still a child. It was clear that she would be anxious if she woke up alone in a place she had never seen before. However, there was nothing else he could do now.

“Okay.”

The maid answered briefly without changing her expression at all and then closed her mouth. Yujin said, seeing her reaction as if she was waiting for something.

“Thank you. That’s enough.”

After saying that and closing the door, the surroundings soon became quiet. Yujin stood there for a while, then counted to 1000 in his head and carefully opened the door. The maid’s eyes met as if mocking him for his expectations.
