I'm sorry but wanting to take over a company, or defending and forgiving someone after they've raped you, let's have a guess which is worse, not only did ml state since school that he's liked MC but he also was 100% right about that secretary, the MC gets assaulted by him and STILL proceeds to go to his house again, he did not deserve to be raped and the people in the comments saying that are disgusting, but there is no way you can think that the MC and ml are on the same level when it comes to wrongdoings, MC defended his rapist TO the ml, obviously ml is rightfully upset but all MC cares about is the fact ml wants the chairman position, not the fact he was literally DRUGGED and RAPED, in what world are MC and MLS troubles on the same level.
You don't need to personally prove that acting 'contrarian' requires a certain level of intelligence.
Don't you understand who created this situation?
It's all MC brought upon himself. Definitely.
The whole Chairman and grandchildren thing is something MC's father suddenly brought up recently.
If MC had just said yes or no clearly sooner, ML wouldn't have been driven to the point of clinging to promises that the dishonest, greedy, self-centered MC doesn't even remember.
How many years do you think MC had? More than 10 years. How can you completely ignore how he treated ML during that time?
He's just treated ML like nothing but garbage, only useful as mere suppressant, then he could have just cut ties with him a long time ago.
It was MC who suddenly became hysterical and stormed out at dinner without even listening to the true meaning of his father's words (and also ML's). He was the one who threw away the valuable opportunity to hear from both of them and get explanations.
Then right after he screamed in his head again, "All alphas are the same!", he went so far as to decide to stay at the house of the very alpha who had tried to rape you the very day (right before that dinner), then naturally got drugged and raped, and yet listened to rapist's semen-covered excuses, instantly believed them, treated rapist's wounds, tried to protect rapist from the punishment he deserved, and even insanely attacked, insulted and chased away the childhood friend(and his entire life) who desperately loved and protected him for over decade and now desperately came to help you.
Defending the lowest, most inhuman MC in history...I have totally no words.
I despise readers like you the most, who overlook and defend any scum or brainless just because they're an MC or Omega, and make any person out to be evil just because they're an ML or Alpha. Yeah, just like this fuckass dickhead MC.

I find the hate on MC is appalling.
ML is also at fault for not clearly stating why he do what he’s doing. From an omega perspective where there’s a lot of prejudice against them in the first place, MC has every right to be cautious and weary especially the latest dinner didn’t help at all with the way his father spoke. MC has issues sure but don’t act like ML is a so pure, he is naive borderline harmful if he actually love MC. ML has low social awareness and how society would look upon MC should he won. Then what if he somehow win the position cuz the deck stack in his favor cuz his gender? What his next plan then? Give it to MC as present? Does he really think that people in the company would accept that and look at MC in a good light or will they look at him as a failure who got the position cuz ML gave to him as a present for being a trophy wife. Both need to talk and MC need to know what is going on in ML head or else from his perspective it will all just a power play where ML is using his affection and their history together as leverage and he knows he is at disadvantage especially being heat is worse than being in a rut. His strength will be gone while in rut the alpha getting stronger. So you all should think carefully both are has issues.
