Exiting the lobby of the prosecutor’s office, Sunyoung felt dizzy under the bright sunlight.
She wrapped her forehead, placed her unsteady body on a flowerbed as if she might fall, and took a moment to catch her breath.
Today, witnessing the miserable state of Hyuna, who continued to cry and resist, felt like her heart was being torn apart.
No, the more she thought about it, the less she understood. Despite spending the whole day yesterday and today wandering around the prosecutor’s office, there was still no change in Hyuna’s status.
Not even the prosecutor general, senior prosecutors, let alone the field prosecutor in charge of the case, had been influenced by any plea.
Why hasn’t my daughter been released from the cold prison until now?
Didn’t they say they would forgive her if we handed over the foundation? And we did hand it over!
Something seemed off. Sitting on the flowerbed and wrapping her head, Sunyoung suddenly stood up.
The place Sunyoung reached after driving her car aggressively was Chairman Park’s residence.
Standing in front of the gate, she nervously rang the bell. Without asking what brought her, the door opened.
Sunyoung, clenching her teeth, directly crossed the garden. A strange scene caught her eye. A playground had appeared on one side of the garden, which she had never seen before.
“Hmph, did they make it for the great-grandson? While my daughter is still grinding the prison floor, they are doing such things?!”
Laughing scornfully, Sunyoung bit down on her molars.
Although it was a playground outside the mansion, the inside remained as quiet as ever, making even the sunlight pouring into the terrace feel heavy.
Every time the scissor blades sounded, cutting out branches, she felt shivers down her neck.
Perhaps it was because she approached with the determination to question. Unlike before, Sunyoung stood tall with her chin up.
“Chairman. When exactly will our Hyuna be released?”
The tone of her questioning was somewhat fierce as well. The sound of the scissors, which had been cutting out square after square, stopped abruptly. The wrinkled eyes behind the magnifying glasses blinked with puzzlement.
“Am I a prosecutor or a judge? How would I know if your daughter will be released or not?”
Seemingly not understanding English, he detached the watch from his pocket with a thud, and Sunyoung’s mouth opened wide.
Sunyoung couldn’t hide her excitement.
“What’s that! You promised to forgive her! You said that, so we willingly handed over the foundation!”
“Yes. Didn’t I do as you said? Considering the fact that she laid hands on my grandson, I might tear her to pieces if I think about it. But, I forgave her at your request. I forgave her because you asked for it. But should I go as far as taking her out of jail?”
“…Then, then you deceived me?!”
Chairman Park nodded calmly.
“Pitiful. When did I promise to take your daughter out? In this world these days, how can you expect such things?”
“…What!”
Sunyoung was speechless and her heart pounded. Her eyes, filled with bloodshot veins, even created an illusion of flames.
“Does this old man play with people?! Don’t stay still! You put my daughter in prison, and you live happily?! If tears are taken from my daughter’s eyes, I’ll make tears of blood come from your eyes! Do you understand?!”
With eyes rolling like that, there’s no longer any worth in dealing with them.
Sighing, Chairman Park’s disapproval resounded.
“Anyone there! Get rid of this thing from my house right now!”
A little later, the place where Sunyoung had been was now occupied by Chairman Oh. Silently maintaining his silence, he only shook his head like a sinner.
Chairman Park, who was carelessly cutting branches, soon put down the pruning shears and even took off the white lace gloves.
Feeling muddled, she didn’t feel like doing the pruning. The woman, who had been leaning against the sofa and shooting into the air, suddenly screamed.
“Why did you come like this!”
Chairman Oh, who had been awkwardly silent, lifted his head subtly.
“Chairman. If it is for the sin of teaching the wrong thing to a child, I would gladly take the punishment on behalf. However, since it is impossible, I cannot fully express this sentiment in words.”
“I have nothing to offer even if you say that!”
“I’m not asking for anything; I’ve come to ask for permission.”
“Permission? What permission?”
The stern gaze of Chairman Park, who had given a piercing look, slightly softened. Chairman Oh, who had been contemplating for a long time, spoke solemnly.
“As a father, I cannot coldly put my child in a harsh prison. However, she committed a crime, so she must be isolated from society. If you permit, I would like to handle this matter in a way that is less burdensome for my heart…”
During work, DaJeong enjoyed a cup of coffee, relishing the freedom of working remotely.
It was truly fortunate that Siwoo could continue attending Hana Kindergarten.
When taking care of him at home, she couldn’t focus on work steadily, making her somewhat sensitive.
My Step-brother Is Obsessed With Me (Female-dominant)
A gentle female protagonist vs pitiful in the early stage, and a sick male protagonist in the later stage
Cheng Songer transmigrated into the body of a vicious cannon fodder female supporting character with the same name as her in a female-dominant novel.
In the original story, the cannon fodder female supporting character was inhumane, committing domestic violence, gambling excessively, being lustful, and even wanting to sell her stepbrother to a brothel for money.
As luck would have it, she just happened to transmigrate at this time.
Seeing Cheng Qingzhi biting his lip, enduring the tears in his eyes, looking pitiful, her heart softened.
She stuffed the money back into the Madam’s hand and reached out to him.
“Brother, come home with me.”
