Money Loving CEO's Detective Lover

Chapter 275: A Hidden Truth

Danny burst through the door, angrily taking off his tie. He stormed into the living room while Doyoung followed suit. Siwan was slowly walking behind his mother.

"What's the matter?" Doyoung asked. "Why are you so angry?"

Her husband did not reply but rounded on Siwan who was cowering behind his mother. He was terrified of his father's anger and whimpered in fear.

"This boy humiliated me tonight!" Danny claimed furiously. "Behaving with such arrogance and attitude! Is this what you've been taught?"

"Apparently," Doyoung shot back. "You put so much pressure on to him whereas he's just a ten year old! He was arrogant because you taught him!"

Hearing her words, Danny turned to her. "As if you were there to take care of him!" he accused. "You're always off to your trips and charity events. I'm the one who takes care of him!"

"I go to work in the hopes that at least his father would take care of him!" Doyoung spewed. "But clearly, you're not taking care of him well enough!"

She held on to Siwan, who was shaking. His apparent fear of his father was very much visible and she did not want him to be punished but rather disciplined into learning what was wrong and right.

"I taught him everything he needs to know in order to be the heir of the Kang family!"

"You taught him everything except basic human behavior," Doyoung shot back. "Did you know that he hurt that little girl today?"

"I didn't!" Siwan spoked up. "She was the one who played a prank on me at camp!"

"And did she end up hurting you the way you hurt her today?" Doyung asked. "She's younger than you. Obviously, she'll be naughty like the other kids her age. Have you tried to be nice to her? Or tried to be friends with her?"

"She's a rude brat!" Siwan yelled. "Dad"

He turned around to face his dad. "That girl did something which made my stuff fly in the air!" he claimed. "She did magic or something. Maybe mixed drugs in my food! I don't know but she's not normal!"

"Don't be silly!" Danny snapped. "This is all childish! Why are you falling for such stupidity? I thought I taught you better."

"You taught him nothing," Doyoung stated. "Do you know that he had gripped Jina's arm so hard that there were red marks on her skin?"

Siwan was shocked to hear his mother. Was she defending him or punishing him? Danny glared at Siwan and grabbed his arm harshly.

"If that girl goes to her father and complains, then it'll cost me my hospital deal!" he shouted. "We'll be bankrupt if that happens! Are you happy now?"

He shook his son roughly. The boy was a nuisance and in no way the rightful inheritor of his family business. How did he end up with such a useless son? 

Siwan was on the verge of crying and Doyoun stepped forward to separate him from his father. She shot an angry look at him and tried to console her son.

"Danny, this is not the right way to treat him!" Doyoung scolded him. "We'll have to make him understand that what he did was wrong and make him apologize!"

"I'll never apologize to her!" Siwan yelled. He was crying hard and wrenched himself away from his mother's grasp. "You never support me! You're always against me! Why can't you agree with me for once!"

"Siwan"

Doyoung was shocked at how her son was not listening to her. Was he so disconnected from her that he would not even obey her anymore?

"You're always scolding me!" Siwan yelled. "You always blame me! That girl is a liar! She's the one who pushed me! I didn't do anything. She played a prank on me and made me look stupid in front of my friends! Why aren't you punishing her? I did nothing wrong!"

He was panting in anger, glaring at his mother. She was always critical of him. All mothers always took their children's side then why was she not doing the same?

"Siwan, what you did was wrong," she tried to explain but Siwan was having none of it. 

"You're never there for me!" he screamed. "You're always going away from home and don't return for months. And now, you won't even believe me! It wasn't me! I didn't hurt her! She hurt me!"

With that, he ran off towards his bedroom and shut the door. Doyoung was still shocked that he had the audacity to lie to her face. He truly believed that he did nothing wrong and would not apologize at all. If he was being this stubborn at this age, then what would happen to him once he became an adult?

"Our son is becoming spoilt," she gritted. "Don't you think we should take him to therapy?"

"Oh now you're so concerned for him?" Danny sneered. "Where were you all these months? You didn't even see him off to camp!"

"Did you see him off to camp?" Doyoung asked quietly. "It's easy to blame me since I'm working hard to give my son a good future! But you...you're just pressurizing him! He's ten! He's not a business deal but your son!"

"If that boy costs me the contract then it'll be very bad for our family," Danny threatened. "You've made friends with Hwang Minho's mistress, right? Tell her to coax her lover into partnering with our business deal."

"She's not a mistress but the madam of the house," Doyoung said curtly. "The same position I hold in this house. Surely, you could use a proper title to address her?"

"You really think that a rich man like Hwang Minho will marry a woman like that?" Danny scoffed. "She's a mere detective! Much lower in status than him. He's just using her for fun and will dump her after a while."

"Just because you're like that doesn't mean all men are like you," Doyoung stated. Her words made Danny even more furious and before Doyoung could react, he grabbed her chin. She was shocked by his action since he was never this violent with her. He was gripping her tightly, looking directly into her eyes.

"Don't forget that I married you and saved your father's hospital," he gritted. "So don't even point fingers at me! I can destroy you in seconds and you know it!"

He let go of her. Doyoung staggered backwards in shock, still trying to process what just happened. From the corner of her eye, she noticed that Siwan's door was ajar and he was peeking at them. As soon as he noticed Doyoung's gaze on him, he shut the door.

Danny gave her a scathing look before going away. Doyoung stood there for a while, still trying to grasp what was going on. She slumped on the couch, her mind muddled with several thoughts. 

But the thing bothering her the most was her son. He was turning into a violent person and it did not take her long to figure out that Danny had something to do with it. But Danny was never physically abusive to anyone in the house before. So where did he witness such behavior?

Clenching her fists, she made a decision. She picked up her cellphone and called her agent.

"Hello, Hani?" she greeted. "I'm quitting the company. Please process my paperwork."

From the other end, Hani was shocked. "WHAT?" she yelled. "Why? You're the top model!"

"My son needs me," Doyoung said firmly. "And I'll stay with him. You can sue me if you want for breaching the contract but I'm gonna stay with my family."

There was a long pause on the other end. "I'll see what I can do," Hani sighed. 

Doyoung hung up the phone and stared at the wall in front of her. She would no longer trust Danny with the upbringing of their son. Siwan needed to be reined in through understanding and it was time for her to step up.

I must save my son, she vowed. 

Meanwhile, inside his room, Siwan was sitting on his bed, lost in his own thoughts. He glanced at the door. Making sure that it was locked, he reached out for his drawer which had a small camcorder in it. His hands trembled as he turned it on. A video began to play.

From the inside of a slightly opened cupboard, the camera had recorded something which Siwan could not even dream of. Couple of nights ago after returning from the camp, he had found his camcorder in the cellar. It had gone missing a few weeks ago and he was surprised to find it in the cellar last night. He gulped as he saw the video but he did not have the heart to finish it.

He quickly put it away, too scared to tell anyone of what he had just seen. It was not possible! How could it be? His father was a lot of things but he would not hurt someone. Right?

He would, a sly voice claimed from within him. Siwan was not so sure but deep within, he was scared of his father. He did not want to end up with the same fate as the boy in the camera. Quickly putting the camera away, he decided not to let anyone see it. His father would not like it.

I must not tell anyone, he decided. Never.
