“Shouldn’t we give him a reason to step back as well?”
Even with his strong determination, there was a worried expression on Line’s face.
“This might sound a bit funny, but let’s assume the prosecution goes along with it… Can Attorney Cha Haein really conduct a debate against the Director of Legal Affairs?”
“If we want to make a player substitution, we should be prepared for this level of challenge, shouldn’t we?”
He spoke with a firm expression, as if he had made up his mind. Line looked at his face attentively. He appeared somewhat pitiful, considering that he usually stayed composed, even in difficult situations.
“Director, don’t worry.”
Line was about to ask, “Don’t worry?” but she changed her tone. If Songkang claimed he wasn’t worried, he would be lying. After the substantive review of the arrest warrant, the prosecution’s investigation would reach a turning point.
If he were truly arrested, a significant portion of Taesung’s management rights, which he had nurtured, would fall into the hands of unreasonable individuals who only saw this company as money.
“Seeing Prosecutor Jin Line’s confidence, there’s no need to worry. I never really worried from the beginning.”
“No, it’s not because of my abilities. The arrest warrant should be rejected because Director is innocent. That should be the essence of this case. Is there any other reason for interference?”
Songkang hesitated at Line’s words. A competent legal team, legal assistance… He had been immersed in the thought that these were the only things he needed.
He realized that he might have drifted too far from the idea that he would be acquitted because he was innocent, a thought that should have been taken for granted.
“Thank you for saying that.”
Songkang expressed his gratitude to her sincerely. Line, who was usually reserved in response to gratitude or praise, had a somewhat awkward expression.
“Well, it’s possible. Obsession, compulsion, that sort of thing suits you.”
Although Line’s response was not a compliment that pleased him greatly, it wasn’t entirely wrong either.
“It’s fortunate that the substantive review of the arrest warrant has a legally defined time for the judge’s assessment. In cases like this, there’s often a fuss about special privileges in waiting areas, but it seems that’s not the case here.”
“Attorney Cha Haein mentioned it, but I told her not to do that.”
In a way, Line thought he was quite impressive. She was also a person with strong convictions, but he seemed formidable as well.
“Director, managing your condition is also a skill. Now go rest and prepare for the schedule.”
Songkang couldn’t immediately go home after dropping Line off. He returned to the office. He had to be prepared even in the event of his arrest.
Of course, he knew that they would easily discard him like a scarecrow after his arrest, but he had to do everything in his power to prevent it.
The fateful moment had arrived.
Songkang’s car came to a stop in front of the courthouse. His staff members were tense in the face of the overwhelming media presence.
“I’ll get off here. Trying to force our way in could injure people.”
The distance to the courthouse entrance was a bit long, but he had parked the car. He was already getting out before anyone else. As soon as the car door opened, the shutters began clicking incessantly.
The front was barely visible due to the blinding flash, but Songkang walked steadily without hesitation. Haein, following behind him, had a heavy expression, and the Director of Legal Affairs tried to hide his cunning smile.
There were easily more than ten people, including Taesung Law Firm’s legal team and Songkang’s staff, following him.
“What’s your current state of mind? Please say a few words!”
“What do you expect from the arrest warrant review?”
The journalists’ requests for comments gathered and multiplied into a hundred words.
He stood before the photo line, and he didn’t even feel a hint of embarrassment now.
Whether it was a journalist targeting him or one who only wrote positive articles, he had always treated them gently. But today, he didn’t want to observe any manners. It was undoubtedly a humiliating moment.
However, he thought of Taesung and stood upright. Among the many people watching this situation, he thought of her.
Line sat in her office as usual. Even though she wasn’t mentally weak, she couldn’t grasp the situation. She wanted to make a phone call, but looking at the time, it was too hectic.
She might be able to call Haein during the lunch break, but she didn’t know how to wait until then. She couldn’t shake off her anxious feelings.
In the end, she searched for news articles. It was a moment when she could feel the power of Korean journalists. She knew it hadn’t been long since he arrived at the courthouse, but articles were already pouring in.
In the eyes of those who stood before the photo line, he might have appeared as a conglomerate chairman who had committed a crime. But in Line’s eyes, he was a person carrying the enormous burden of Taesung all by himself.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
