“Ziiing―.”

Seoyeon, with the window rolled down, tilted her arm and smiled.

“Alone? Where are the police?”

“Should I call them now?”

“Either way. If we get investigated together this time, we save time, isn’t it good?”

Despite the clear trembling of her fingertips, Bora, with a stern expression, only spat out harsh words.

“What’s there to say after coming all the way here?”

“At least get in.”

Seoyeon chuckled at the thought of her hastily made plan being perfect.

“Do you know where I’ll take you?”

“Are you already scared? Or did you do something wrong?”

As Seoyeon provocatively scratched at Bora’s nerves, Bora, blushing, circled around the car, growling.

Bang!

When Bora forcefully slammed the door shut, Seoyeon smirked.

“As expected, the daughter of a chaebol is different. Are you getting a new car for me?”

“You got in. If you have something to say, say it quickly.”

Seoyeon, undeterred by Bora’s irritating actions, gestured towards the seatbelt.

“You have to come in. Let’s talk inside.”

With a dismissive tone, Seoyeon started the engine.

As the noisy engine sound started, Bora hastily fastened her seatbelt without even realizing it.

“Jinbora, you need to be honest from now on.”

“Do you think I’ll be scared of that threat?”

“You’ll see. Whether you’re scared or not. Let’s go.”

As they hurriedly started, Bora quickly grabbed the handle on the passenger side as her upper body leaned forward.

“Uh, where are we going?”

“I won’t tell you.”

Seoyeon stared coldly ahead.

If she shouted or provoked her physically, they might fight, but Seoyeon ignored Bora’s words, choosing to remain silent.

As the black sports car left the parking lot, Bora, who had been vigorous, suddenly changed.

Clearly frightened, she kept stealing glances at Seoyeon’s expression. Seoyeon suppressed a bitter laugh and organized her thoughts.

Should she embarrass her by not being able to show her face again? Or should she let her experience the consequences of her actions?

Yet, on the other hand, she considered giving her some sharp advice and sending her back.

‘Is now the time to put on airs? Pull yourself together.’

But one thing was certain; if Bora continued to protest based solely on her background, it could lead to the worst possible outcome.

“Let’s talk.”

“I’m keeping quiet now, so close your mouth.”

With Seoyeon’s words, the inside of the car became instantly quiet, like overturning a bucket of icy water.

A sky with no clouds, pouring dazzling morning sunlight, as if a blue dye had been spread. And the two people who didn’t match at all crossed the Banpo Bridge.

Initially, Bora, who expressed her dissatisfaction, kept silent as Seoyeon repeatedly stifled her words.

After a brief awkward silence, when Seoyeon suddenly turned the steering wheel to the left, a startled Bora shouted.

“Why, why are we here!”

“Why do you think we came to the Prosecutor’s Office? Think carefully about what you’ve done.”

The chilly expression disappeared, and Seoyeon grinned as if expecting something enjoyable.

As Seoyeon’s car made loud noises in front of the prosecutor’s office, Bora, without unfastening her seatbelt, refused to get out.

“I don’t want to!”

“If you want to call a lawyer now, go ahead.”

Ignoring the mention of a lawyer, Bora did not even blink, not undoing her seatbelt.

“Or should I call your parents? It might be simple to call JS Insurance or the CEO’s office at Dae Sung Construction.”

At the mention of parents, Bora’s shoulders twitched, and Seoyeon raised the corners of her mouth.

Even when she said she would go to her house, she came out immediately. She didn’t even say anything when told to call a lawyer. With the mention of a lawyer, she couldn’t even open her mouth. With these facts alone, her wrongdoing was proven.

In fact, Seoyeon was well aware of the psychology of people in chaebol families.

They were more afraid of what people said about them than they thought. This was something she had experienced firsthand while socializing with friends from chaebol families whom she was close to.

Especially the higher the hierarchy in the chaebol world, the more they acted like secret agents on a mission.
Among them, there were many cases where even organizing a birthday party with friends was done anonymously to avoid parents finding out. Perhaps because their actions often equated to the company’s image. Maybe they were sensitive to their reputation and rumors.

Knowing their characteristics well, Seoyeon knew exactly how to shake Bora.

“I’m not saying we have to do something right away.”

That was the initial thought. However, it could change anytime depending on how Bora responded.

“I want to let you know what could happen to you in the future.”

“Well, tell me.”

“In simple terms, it’s like on-site training. Don’t be too scared. Let’s go.”

With a raised corner of her mouth, Seoyeon got out of the car and opened the passenger-side door.

Bora, who had been biting her nails without realizing they were bleeding, couldn’t resist Seoyeon’s pressure and got out of the car.

“Follow quietly.”
