### Summary
The escalating external conflicts come to a head as the suspicious application involving Hong Seol's younger brother, Joon, is confirmed to be a scam. Parallel to this family crisis, a significant character subplot develops around Inha Baek and a figure named Jaewoo. Jaewoo is perceived as a maturing influence who, unlike others, effectively handles Inha’s difficult personality by being both supportive and firm, sparking reader interest in their potential as a couple. Meanwhile, the central psychological dynamic is further complicated by Yoo Jung's methods. His use of proxies to track and report on Seol for her "protection" is highlighted as hypocritical, mirroring the controlling behavior he resents from his own father. The narrative also reinforces ongoing frustrations through minor characters like Sangcheol Kim, who continues to evade his financial responsibilities for selfish reasons. The chapter concludes with a sense of immediate peril, as a character is seen heading into a dangerous or compromising situation.
