“You assaulted Ms. Kang Ha Eun as a group. Here’s the medical certificate, how can you deny it?”

The cleaning contractor’s employees turned pale as they received and checked the medical certificate handed over by the police.

Yeo Reum quickly examined the medical certificate held by the director.

Under the title of injury diagnosis, there were numerous diagnoses such as concussion and leg fracture, and it was written that the cause of the severe injury was a one-sided group assault (based on personal statement).

Yeo Reum glared at Ha Eun.

She had bandages wrapped tightly around her head, both legs in casts, and was even sitting in a wheelchair.

Anyone could see she was a serious patient.

By her side stood the two women and two men from yesterday, still like guardian warriors.

“How could you all beat up such a frail body?”

The police officer writing the report sneered.

The police officers gathered like spectators each spat out a word.

“They say ignorance makes one brave, truly not knowing how scary the world is.”

Yeo Reum shouted at the police officers who were one-sidedly taking Ha Eun’s side.

“These people have nothing to do with it. They weren’t even there. And that woman harassed me first and assaulted me!”

“Do you have evidence?”

Yeo Reum couldn’t answer.

Before coming to the police station, she stopped by the resort.

But the security staff said that the CCTV had broken down yesterday and nothing was recorded.

She hurriedly went to find Baek Gwan, but he had already checked out.

When she asked the front desk for contact information, she was only told that it couldn’t be answered due to business secrets.

“Jung Yeo Reum, if you feel wronged, present the evidence.”

The police officer’s voice rose.

Ha Eun had a smug expression as she received a take-out coffee handed to her from the side.

“Confess to the entire crime and apologize to Ms. Kang Ha Eun. There’s a medical certificate and clear witnesses, nothing good will come from continued denial.”

“Those thugs are in cahoots! They’re all in it together!”

Yeo Reum shouted again.

“Thugs? Do you know who our young lady is to speak that way?”

The man in his early 40s was a lawyer acting as Kang Ha Eun’s representative.

The man in his 20s who came with them proudly showed his business card.

Yeo Reum’s brow furrowed.

The business card was embossed in gold with “PR Group Legal Team Leader Yang Moon Seok” of Korea’s leading conglomerate.

Only then did Yeo Reum understand the terrified faces of the cleaning staff, and why the police were taking Ha Eun’s side so one-sidedly.

“Kneel down and apologize to our young lady. Then she will forgive you.”

As she was about to argue in disbelief, Lawyer Park Byung Ho called out.

“Yeo Reum, let’s talk for a moment.”

He was the head of the law firm where Yeo Reum had been doing document work part-time since high school, as a future relative uncle.

Lawyer Park asked the police for understanding and went out into the police station hallway.

Yeo Reum followed and faced him, and he said,

“Let’s apologize.”

“…Uncle!”

“I know you feel wronged. But Paran Group, no, PR Group now. Anyway, that Kang Ha Eun woman is probably the chairman’s niece.”

“What?”

“I heard it from a friend in Seoul. The troublemakers of PR Group. But they’re famous for being close to the chairman. If you keep resisting, that woman will send not just you, but all those people to jail.”

“Jail? Who’s the one who did wrong?”

“I know. How angry you must be. But think rationally. We have no evidence or witnesses. But the other side is the owner family of one of the top three conglomerates in our country. We can’t win.”

“But!”

“Let’s think we stepped in dog poop by bad luck. Just close your eyes once. Okay?”

Yeo Reum didn’t answer.

He patted her shoulder, telling her to think about it for a moment, then went back inside.

“Oh my, seems like you’re in deep thought?”

Ha Eun, coming in a wheelchair, sipped her coffee.

The faces of the two women standing behind her were also full of mockery.

“Quickly kneel down and beg me for forgiveness. Then I’ll forgive you. I told you, didn’t I? That I’m from a family that would make someone like you faint if you heard about it.”

“It’s amazing as I heard. The tyranny of the rich.”

“What, are you scared now? But I haven’t even started yet.”

Looking at that hateful smiling face, Yeo Reum said,

“You’re planning to send us to jail no matter what, even if we beg, right?”

“Oh my, did you read my mind? That’s right. How can I let those who ruined my mood and pulled my hair stay in this society unscathed?”

“What?”

“Especially those like you who don’t know their place and act up, I absolutely detest. I’ll draw an especially thick red line for you.”

Ha Eun gestured, and the wheelchair turned around.

“Oh right, about the CCTV at Baek Gwan.”

The wheelchair stopped.

“I ordered it to be deleted.”

“What?”

“Oh, you didn’t know? Aurium Resort belongs to our family. Would the security team dare not delete it when ordered by me, a family member? I ordered them to completely format it. So don’t have any useless hope.”

Giggling mockingly, they went back inside.

Yeo Reum held her head with both hands.

Just then, a short notification sound came from her phone.

Sighing deeply, she checked and found a video had arrived.

Yeo Reum’s eyes widened as she played it listlessly.

The screen, seemingly shot with a phone, showed Ha Eun and her group, from Ha Eun causing a disturbance by spraying wine all over the Baek Gwan pool to grabbing Yeo Reum’s hair.

The video ended right there.

‘Could it be, that person…?’

San Ha’s languidly smiling face came to mind.

Yeo Reum quickly looked around, but he wasn’t there.

‘How did he know about my situation? And how did he know my phone number…?’

But she was glad.

Just then, the police called her to come in.

“Just a moment.”

Yeo Reum busily moved her hands holding the phone.

Then she gathered her thoughts for a moment.

After turning on the phone’s recording function and putting it in her pocket, she returned to her original seat.

“Quickly kneel down and apologize to our young lady. If not, we’ll sue you civilly and criminally.”

The PR legal team lawyer, seeming tired of the delay, fired off his final comment.

The cleaning staff, whose faces had darkened in a short time, all stood up.

They stood in front of Ha Eun.

“Stand up straight. What kind of posture is this for people apologizing?”

Ha Eun pointed out while sipping her coffee.

“What are you doing? Quickly kneel down and beg!”

At her urging, the staff’s knees were about to bend as they took a short breath.

“Don’t do it. Even if you do, that woman says she’ll send us to jail.”

The staff hesitated and stopped.

Yeo Reum approached Ha Eun.

She grabbed the arms of the half-standing staff and pushed them back.

“Yeo Reum…”

“It’s not our fault. Kang Ha Eun and those four people are lying right now.”

“Ms. Jung Yeo Reum has a habit of blowing things way out of proportion?”

It was the PR legal team lawyer.

Yeo Reum said,

“No. Your young lady is the one who blew things up.”

“What?”

“I’m going to sue Kang Ha Eun and those four people for assault and false accusation.”

Ha Eun and her group snorted in disbelief.

“You, do you really want to die? Still can’t grasp reality? Do you know who I am?”

“Now I know. You’re Kang Ha Eun, the niece of the great PR Group chairman, right?”

“Yet you still look me in the eye and talk back? You lowly thing!”

“Ms. Kang Ha Eun, in your eyes, ordinary people aren’t even seen as human, right?”

“Isn’t that obvious? Especially, how can I be the same as you who just clean pools? You pig X!”

“Are you, done talking?”

“No, I’m not done. You fat pig X!”

Yeo Reum took out the phone she had put in her pocket and pressed the stop button.

“You, what did you just do?”

“Can’t you see? I recorded it. So you can’t deny later that it’s not you in this video.”

“Video…?”

Yeo Reum turned the phone’s volume to maximum, enlarged the screen, and played the video in front of everyone.

“Where did they all go? Why are you alone?”

Ha Eun was flustered.

It was clearly the video from last night that she had ordered to leave no trace of.

But not only did it appear blatantly, the quality was clear as if it had been enhanced.

The legal team lawyer and police officers had awkward expressions.

In the video, Ha Eun was not only causing a disturbance by spraying wine everywhere, but also grabbing Yeo Reum’s hair.

But only the four people claiming to be Ha Eun’s friends were around, no cleaning staff were present, and it showed Ha Eun one-sidedly assaulting Yeo Reum.

“…No. I, I… was hit by that pig! She pulled my hair so much!”

“Hey, Kang Ha Eun. If you feel wronged, show evidence that I assaulted you. And officer, I’m going to sue Kang Ha Eun and those four people for assault and false accusation, so please write up a new report.”

Yeo Reum returned to her original seat.

“What are you doing? Hurry up.”

“Ah, yes.”

The police officer who had been watching the situation returned to his desk.

The PR legal team lawyer hurriedly approached Yeo Reum and said,

“There seems to have been a misunderstanding.”

“Misunderstanding?”

“People can have misunderstandings in life, can’t they?”

“That’s right.”

The police officers gathered around and once again protected Ha Eun.

Yeo Reum chuckled and said to the legal team lawyer and the surrounding police officers,

“You people sure have a way with words? After trying to turn innocent people into violent criminals, misunderstanding?”

“Let’s just, settle this. Isn’t it better to let good things be good?”

The police officer writing the report also chimed in.

Yeo Reum asked him,

“Good thing? What’s good about it?”

“You weren’t seriously injured, were you? So let’s settle this reasonably?”

“You, do you always handle things this way?”

“Excuse me?”

Yeo Reum looked over the faces of the officer and the surrounding police officers and said,

“Are you the police of the Republic of Korea? Or the police of PR Group?”

“No, what did we do wrong?”

Even as they said this, they avoided Yeo Reum’s gaze.

The legal team lawyer stepped in again.

“Let’s stop here. We’ll give you a generous gratuity.”

“Hey, Mr. Yang Moon Seok, PR legal team leader. Did I do you a favor? Why are you giving me a gratuity?”

“I apologize. We’ll give you compensation for mental distress. How much would be sufficient?”

“That’s out of order too.”

“Pardon?”

“First, shouldn’t that high and mighty young lady of your group apologize to us? Isn’t that human decency?”

Yeo Reum pointed out, but Ha Eun just pressed her lips together resentfully.

“Your young lady tried to casually destroy other people’s lives just because her feelings were hurt. How can you try to solve this with just money?”

“We’ll apologize for our wrongdoing. So let’s settle this now?”

Yeo Reum turned to the cleaning contractor staff and asked,

“Do you want to settle with that woman? Seems like she’ll give a ton of money, should we call it even?”

The angry staff all shook their heads.

“No. We don’t need the money.”

“That’s right! We don’t want that dirty money!”

Yeo Reum looked at the PR legal team lawyer and said,

“You heard them? I agree with that opinion too. And I absolutely can’t let that woman who tried to ruin my life go just like that.”

Yeo Reum held up her phone.

She played the video again and used an app to blur her own face.

“What are you trying to do?”

The lawyer asked urgently.

“What do you mean? I’m going to report the true nature of your great young lady to every broadcasting station in Korea. Just in case, I’ll spread it to internet channels first.”

“…What did you say?”

“The title will be ‘The Misconduct of PR Group Family’. No, that’s too weak. ‘Chaebol Family’s Black Sheep Gapjil’. ‘Gapjil that Kills People’. ‘Devil’s Gapjil’. Which one sounds better?”

As Yeo Reum’s two hands moved faster touching the phone, the legal team lawyer hurriedly said,

“We’ll give you 100 million won in compensation!”

“No, I don’t need it.”

“Ms. Jung Yeo Reum!”

“It’s just chump change for your young lady, right? Rather than that chump change, I’m going to make your young lady be called a national scumbag and ruin her good marriage prospects.”

Yeo Reum turned to look at the trembling Ha Eun and smiled brightly.

“If you do that, Ms. Jung Yeo Reum, you absolutely won’t be safe.”

The PR lawyer’s tone turned high-handed again.

“Our young lady may be momentarily disgraced. But what about Ms. Jung Yeo Reum? You’ll ruin your life over a moment’s feelings. So name your price now and let’s end this here.”

Yeo Reum’s hand stopped.

Concern deepened on the faces of the cleaning staff and Lawyer Park.

It wasn’t wrong.

Yeo Reum looked up at him and said,

“Shut your mouth.”

“W-what did you say?”

“It’s because you always do things like this that that anchovy shit-for-brains goes around acting up.”
