Be My Only Love

The chapter opens with a conversation between the grandmother and the aunt. The grandmother tells the aunt that she has heard from her uncle that the company has been having financial difficulties. The aunt tells the grandmother that her uncle is already using excuses to take away her retirement income. She asks the aunt to sign the stock transfer agreement, but the aunt refuses to do so, saying that she believes that she did not do anything wrong. She also accuses the aunt of using the company as a collateral for a high-interest loan and of gambling at the gambling halls of the college where she earned so much money. The grandma asks the aunts if they have ever been involved in "scandals." The aunt says that after she entered college, she went around trying to seduce students with money, and she even went to clubs with the sons of wealthy families. Finally, the grandma asks why the woman ran out late at night. She tells the aunts that she received a call earlier in the day saying that something had happened to her.
