“The victims are accusing Miss Yoo Junghwa. Although she vehemently denies it, she didn’t even report the smoke when it emerged at the time of the fire. Not only that, but she just watched from outside the building without reporting until the fire was extinguished. What’s more, it seems very suspicious that she hired a legion of lawyers from a large law firm as soon as the fire broke out. The youngest son is also suspicious of that and has already requested an investigation.”

“Oh, oh, that’s dirty! If they caught her on the spot, why aren’t they conducting a search and seizure investigation?”

“There’s no clear evidence.”

Secretary Kang reported step by step, saying that Oh Minjeong had already filed a complaint and Yoo Junghwa had responded with a countercharge, accusing her of assault and involuntary manslaughter.

Not only the rapid development of complaints and counterclaims, but also the hidden details hinted that something was unusual. Realizing this, Chairman Tae, who was enjoying the tea with Secretary Kang, asked quietly.
“Do you know why Yoo Junghwa is acting like this?”

“Why? She came to see me before. She thinks Seojun is my man, and she even asked me for help.”

“What did you say?”

“What could I say? I just dismissed her. She said Eom Soyeon became a single mother because of trouble and that Seojun, who is close to such a woman, is going the wrong way and should be separated quickly. Also, Tae Seojun says that he should be with me, and his words are so impure and audacious. She was crying with a sad expression, but when I saw the determined look in her eyes, I understood. She seemed like someone who desires even what belongs to others, so I didn’t pay attention.”

“Hmm, really?”

After discussing a few more things with Cha Yeojin, Chairman Tae made an unprecedented decision. He then immediately instructed Secretary Kang.

“There shouldn’t be things left unresolved due to a lack of evidence. So, immediately convey my intentions to the representative of that law firm. If you continue to support that monster… I will personally step in and destroy the entire law firm!”

Crackle!

Taeseokho crumpled the newspaper in his hand in a fit of anger.

It meant he would definitely do that.

“Stop repeating nonsense and change the CEO!”

I’m sorry. Right now, the CEO is in a meeting, so he can’t take calls…

“Enough!”

When No CEO’s secretary repeated the same words, an irritated Jung Hwa angrily hung up the phone.

No CEO, who had enthusiastically accepted Jung Hwa’s request for legal representation and worked hard to organize a legal team just yesterday, suddenly withdrew his intention today, even for just one day. There was no explanation, only an email.

Because of this, Jung Hwa spent the entire morning wandering aimlessly. Although she roamed various law firms in the legal field to request their services, everyone avoided her with the excuse of being too busy, even before she could make a request.

Why is everyone refusing me, the top actress?

Thinking about the reason, Jung Hwa could easily guess. Someone’s significant influence was at play.

However, no matter how much she thought about it, there was something she couldn’t figure out. Taseokho Chairman, who made her an outcast in the entertainment industry, and everyone swayed just by his small push. That was how powerful a person’s feelings were that she shouldn’t have touched.

Jung Hwa, who returned home around evening, took a shower.

Although she was annoyed and uncomfortable with being rejected and sweating in vain, tonight she had to meet someone who would compensate for the futile steps taken all day. Regardless of who it was, that person had to be someone who would help her.

After showering, Jung Hwa sat in front of the dressing table.

Despite the irritating and uncomfortable traces of being rejected and sweating profusely, she needed to meet someone tonight who would compensate for the futile steps taken all day. Regardless of who it was, that person had to be someone who would help her.

Looking at her face reflected in the mirror, Jung Hwa murmured to herself. The vivid bruise marks around her lips, which had burst open yesterday evening from Oh Minjeong’s blows, were clear.

“Hah, dared to touch my face?”

Expressing her frustration, Jung Hwa picked up concealer and meticulously covered the bruised area around her lips.
That disgusting smell of a wretched beggar like Oh Minjeong. Such a woman, if trampled upon with a competent legion of lawyers, would be done. However, starting with the lawyer issue, Jung Hwa, who had encountered difficulties, applied makeup like putting on armor.

Swiftly moving her hands, continuously sighing was more painful than her injured face, as her mistakes hurt more than her wounded appearance. No matter how angry she was and how much she hated Eom Soyeon to the point of wanting to tear her apart, she had to endure. She should have calmly executed her well-laid plan for a more certain moment.
