Chapter 1270 – ##05_God Mother Dorothy (4)

1.
“Oh, I just started a small business.”
The moment Dorothy said this, looking into the distance, only Sohee’s mom felt a chill.
She couldn’t explain why.
It was like being overwhelmed.
‘Don’t flaunt your wealth. There are many rich people in the world. There are many great people. The more mature the rice, the more it bows its head. If you go around with your nose in the air with your meager money, you’ll get a big shock someday.’
It was so strange, but she could hear her dad’s nagging.
It was an animalistic instinct that the newly moved-in silver-haired foreign beauty was no ordinary person.
But looking at the reactions of others, it seemed like she was mistaken.
Well, what kind of rich person would bother with sales and coupons?
Still, a shred of doubt remained.
“Dorothy, unnie?”
“Dorothy, dongsaeng?”
Dorothy, who had been lost in a daze, snapped back to reality.
‘Oh, right! I was socializing with the other residents of the apartment!’ The moment she thought this, a warm breeze of flowers blew back into her mind, which had been turning into a desert.
The bleak atmosphere that had naturally surrounded Dorothy quickly melted away.
“What kind of business was it?”
“Let me guess. Clothes? Cosmetics?”
“It’s not that. It’s just… hard to explain.”
Dorothy gave a smooth, smiling look, as if the questions from her new friend candidates were difficult.
The three new housewives, acting as interviewers, quickly exchanged glances.
‘A business? Does everyone have a business?’
‘Oh, well, of course. She’s even got a case of delusions.’
‘But something about this is… strange? It doesn’t seem like a lie….’
Well, not all businesses are grand.
In a broad sense, a self-employed person running a small bakery in the neighborhood is also a business owner, and so is someone who buys clothes from Dongdaemun and sells them with an unreasonable markup.
“By the way, are you all really not interested in the morning cooking class?”
“Our mothers-in-law take care of everything.”
“Come on~ there’s something special about a wife’s cooking made with love, you know.”
If her business was doing well, she would have been eager to show off, but seeing her being so vague, they could get a sense of it.
‘I’m embarrassed for her. Look at her changing the subject.’
‘How pitiful.’
‘But it really doesn’t seem like a lie….’
Except for Sohee’s mom, who was still wondering, ‘Is this for real?’ the other housewives had already finished their internal interviews at this point.
Bang, bang, bang! Park Dorothy! Failed!
A pathetic commoner, a delusional person, a woman struggling to enter high society.
And she’s so clueless.
Now, they would just kill some time and send her away, and when Dorothy tried to cling to them again in the future, they would put up a wall. That’s how this short relationship would end.
That was when a kind of agreement was reached.
-Vroooom
A loud exhaust sound came through the half-open cafe terrace window, and the three housewives turned their heads at the same time.
A very sexy-looking sports car, no, a hypercar, was driving down the road.
A Bugatti Chiron Super Sport.
It was characterized by its sleek body and unique horseshoe-shaped grille, a hypercar that was hard to see even in Monaco, where the rich were abundant.
“Wow, is that really it?”
“Yeah, yeah, who would drive a car like that?”
“Oh my.”
For the three materialistic women, puppets of capitalist society, money was power, authority, and dignity.
To them, the supercar outside the window was like the cloud chariot of the second coming of Jesus.
But that cloud chariot of the second coming of Jesus suddenly made a U-turn and parked in the cafe parking lot.
“Huh? It stopped. It’s a woman?”
“Is she a resident of our apartment?”
The person who got out was a young woman with neatly tied navy blue long hair. Without any hesitation, she took out a paper bag and walked into the cafe.
The three housewives straightened their posture as if welcoming a noble guest, and glanced at the entrance as if they weren’t particularly interested.
-Ting-a-ling
The door bell rang.
-Click-clack
A mysterious beauty, perfectly pulling off a dress like an actress at an awards ceremony, wearing gradient green-to-pink sunglasses on the tip of her nose, swaggered in.
‘She’s, she’s coming this way?’
‘What is it?’
‘Should we talk to her?’
After quickly scanning the surroundings, she walked over to the table where Dorothy and the three housewives were sitting.
“Do you have some business….”
Sohee’s mom, feeling envious and wanting to befriend her, but also not wanting to feel inferior, tried to respond with a strong gaze.
That’s when an unbelievable conversation began.
“Hi~ the youngest is here?”
“Dorothy, unnie. Aren’t you being too much? I’m a busy person. If you’re going to make me do errands like this, ask someone else. Why does it have to be me?”
“I just wanted to see my youngest’s face sometimes.”
“You’re always so sly.”
Park Dorothy, the pitiful resident who was sipping her coffee, started talking to the owner of the Bugatti Chiron Super Sport, an ultra-beautiful woman, as if they were close.
Moreover, seeing them call each other ‘unnie’ and ‘youngest,’ it was clear that the car owner was the younger one.
It was only natural that the three housewives’ minds stopped working.
“If you only work every day, you’ll ruin your health? You need to learn how to relax like me.”
“Ha, it must be nice for someone who closed their business. Some people can’t even rest properly and are working.”
“I’m on a long vacation. So, how about it~? Are you coming to my housewarming party today?”
“No way. I’m busy. So, who are these people?”
With her cheeks puffed out, Kivele, standing crookedly, glanced at Dorothy and the three housewives.
Of course, Kivele was also perceived as a different being from a witch through this sunglasses artifact.
However, her unique aura alone was enough to overwhelm the housewives.
As you can tell from her car and outfit, she was someone who liked to show off and be noticed, and she had no interest in ordinary humans.
Dorothy smiled brightly and replied.
“Um~ they’re close unnies and dongsaengs. We live in the same complex.”
Amidst the suffocating pressure, Dorothy’s words, ‘close unnies and dongsaengs’ and ‘live in the same complex,’ reached them.
Humans are so fickle. The three housewives, who had been planning to ditch Dorothy just a moment ago, felt overwhelmed with emotion and self-reproach.
“Hello….”
“Hello. Anyway, I’ll go to the housewarming party. What time should I come?”
“Come whenever you’re free~ but not at night.”
Kivele had no interest in Dorothy’s housewife games, so she gave a casual greeting and quickly left.
-Vroooom
After she left.
The way the three women looked at Dorothy had completely changed.
From a newlywed bride who had stretched her finances to the limit to live beyond her means, she had become a humble, otherworldly chaebol.
Come to think of it, they had heard that foreign rich people had a different number of digits in their assets.
Clearly, Dorothy was also a member of such a wealthy family.
Of course, Dorothy was currently unaware of such a change in their feelings.
“D-D-Dorothy-nim…. Who was that?”
“Ah~ she’s a dongsaeng I know. She works at a hotel.”
“Hotel… do you happen to own it?”
“I think so? Ah, darling is nearby, too. Would you mind if I introduced him to you?”
“Yes!”
“We would love to be introduced!”
The housewives answered like soldiers who had just been put on alert.
The initial purpose of the new recruit interview was forgotten, and all that remained was curiosity about Dorothy.
Wouldn’t they naturally want to see what kind of husband Dorothy, who was of this class, had?
An elite-looking glasses-wearer?
A sophisticated middle-aged man who had made many women cry in his younger days?
Or a handsome man who could immediately work as a model?
That question was soon resolved.
-Ting-a-ling
A man in a casual suit walked in.
“Darling~!”
When Dorothy raised both hands and waved, his face brightened and he approached.
It was Shin Siwoo.
“…….”
The three housewives were even more dumbfounded than before.
An unbelievably handsome man had appeared, more than they had expected.
Siwoo had a face that could captivate even a witch, who had high standards due to seeing so many beautiful people.
Unlike his past, when he lived as he pleased, after becoming the president of the academy, he had put effort into self-care and styling.
Having overcome death several times, he naturally exuded the unique charisma of a powerful witch.
In addition, unlike other witches who used ‘perception reduction’ to hide their presence or downgrade their appearance, Siwoo always used a self-made magic called ‘perception distortion’ in the present world, so there were no negative factors.
It was like a kind of sub-account function. No one realized that Gehenna’s Grand Duke Shin Siwoo, who appeared on TV, and Park Dorothy’s husband, Shin Siwoo, were the same person. It was a kind of hypnotic magic.
As a result, a newlywed groom, Siwoo, who could live off his looks alone, was born.
‘My heart is… pounding…! How can a person look like that?’
‘Why is our husband….’
‘Is this really the life I wanted? I want to live as myself, not just as Sohee’s mom….’
The three housewives suddenly grabbed their aching chests.
Siwoo, who had unintentionally planted the seeds of domestic discord, approached them.
“Dorothy-nim!”
“Darling~! I missed you!”
When Dorothy ran and hugged him, he caught her in his broad arms and spun her around.
Both of them were so good-looking that the extravagant gesture alone looked like a famous scene from a musical movie.
“Hello, I’m Dorothy’s husband, Shin Siwoo. It’s nice to meet you like this. Please take care of me in the future.”
“…Hello….”
“Dorothy-nim… your husband is so handsome too….”
“Oh my, you’re too kind.”
In the end, the three housewives, who were mesmerized by his deep voice, sent Siwoo and Dorothy away in a daze, barely able to speak.
“…I wonder if we can see Dorothy-nim’s husband again?”
“Let’s be friends with Dorothy, unnie….”
“…Girls, should we just go home today?”
They were originally planning to go to an aesthetic clinic together, but for some reason, their motivation had completely disappeared.
It was a day filled with complicated feelings in their hearts.
