My Line (Completed Main Story) - Chapter 96

The morning of the verdict was unusually warm, with a gentle spring breeze blowing.

With the crucial sentencing looming, Ra In had become so sensitive that she cut off all contact with the outside world, practically living at the prosecutor’s office. She even avoided meeting Song Kang.

She was determined to bite off her tongue and die if she lost this trial. Song Kang, under the condition that she stay reachable at all times, let her do as she pleased.

It was a relief that the verdict was scheduled soon—otherwise, Song Kang felt his lifespan was shortening from worrying about Ra In.

Chairman Na had forced himself to manage his health so he could attend the sentencing by any means necessary. He diligently underwent treatment and rehabilitation exercises, but swallowing food down his throat remained truly difficult.

The sentencing proceeded solemnly, following proper procedure.

The presiding judge unfolded the prepared verdict. Everyone in the courtroom held their breath, listening intently to the judge’s voice.
