After exiting the police station, Ha-eun slapped both lawyers on the face.
She couldn’t believe she had been held for hours in the dingy police station for questioning.
Infuriated by the humiliation she had never experienced before, Ha-eun was seething.
“How could you not handle that damn fatso? Do I have to sit here because of that? You idiots!” she yelled, gesturing wildly.
“Miss, please calm down. People are watching,” Team Leader Yang softly advised before Ha-eun could express her pain.
Realizing that people were indeed watching, Ha-eun lowered her voice and said, “Handle this properly. Make sure that fatso gets what she deserves.”
“Miss, given the clear evidence, the best course of action is for you to sincerely apologize to Jeong Yeoreum and offer a proper settlement,” one lawyer suggested.
“What are you saying? Why should I apologize to that fatso? Didn’t you see she pulled my hair? I won’t let her get away with this. Find a way to deal with her! Or I’ll make sure you both lose your jobs! Got it?”
As Ha-eun berated her lawyers, her phone rang. The lawyers saw ‘Mom’ flash on the screen – it was Song Jeong-mi.
“What?”
“Come to Seoul right now,” her mother’s voice blared loud enough for the lawyers to hear.
“Mom, I’m on a trip with friends. I told you it will take some time,” Ha-eun protested.
“Just come up. There’s good news.”
“Good news? What is it?”
A smirking laugh came from the phone.
“Jeonghyeon had an accident. He’ll soon be gone.”
“Jeonghyeon? Who’s that?”
“Don’t you remember? Your cousin, your aunt’s son.”
Ha-eun’s eyes widened, then a smile formed on her lips.
“Really? What happened?”
“He had a car accident. The hospital says he’s beyond recovery. So, come quickly. Everyone is at the hospital. I just stepped out to call you.”
“But Mom, even if Jeonghyeon dies, there’s still his wife and daughter. Isn’t this bad for us?”
“Your aunt has no daughter-in-law or granddaughter. They are enemies. Jeonghyeon cut ties with his mother to protect them, remember?”
“Wouldn’t my aunt soften after her son’s death?”
“Never. She hates Jeonghyeon’s wife more than an enemy. The same for the granddaughter. That’s why she hasn’t seen them for 20 years. So, come quickly. Dress plainly and remove your makeup. It’s time to make a good impression on your aunt.”
A satisfied smile spread across Ha-eun’s face.
“Got it. I’m in Busan now. I’ll leave right away.”
“Good.”
Ha-eun, beaming, turned to her lawyers and said, “Get it right this time.”
After glaring at the lawyers once more, she headed to her car.
The lawyers simply bowed.
The red sports car soon left the police station.
“Johan, are you okay?” Team Leader Yang asked.
“Yes,” replied Johan Cho, a lawyer of the same age as Ha-eun, 27. His face was filled with humiliation that wasn’t there before.
“Forget it.”
“But Team Leader. How is this our fault? The evidence is so clear.”
“I know how you feel. But even if you resign and go to another law firm, it’s the same. The rich are all alike.”
Though he said so, Team Leader Yang also sighed.
“It’s a serious problem. Jeong Yeoreum has no intention of settling.”
“We still have to persuade her.”
But convincing Jeong Yeoreum to settle seemed impossible.
“Team Leader, I’ve never seen someone like her before.”
“What do you mean?”
As soon as she stepped out of the police station, Ha-eun slapped the faces of both lawyers.
Frustrated and enraged by the humiliation of being held at the police station for hours, Ha-eun lashed out at them.
“How could you not handle that damn fatso? Do I have to sit here because of that? You idiots!” she yelled, waving her hands aggressively.
“Miss, please control yourself. People are watching,” Team Leader Yang softly advised before Ha-eun could express her pain.
Realizing that people were indeed watching, Ha-eun lowered her voice, “Handle this properly. Make sure that fatso gets what she deserves.”
“Miss, given the clear evidence, the best course of action is for you to sincerely apologize to Jeong Yeoreum and offer a proper settlement,” one lawyer suggested.
“What are you saying? Why should I apologize to that fatso? Didn’t you see she pulled my hair? I won’t let her get away with this. Find a way to deal with her! Or I’ll make sure you both lose your jobs! Got it?”
