“Why would you personally defend a scam criminal? You should be representing powerful corporations as your firm nobly pursues.”
Although I was annoyed, it wasn’t a situation where I could formally intervene, having accidentally bumped into him here.
Even knowing that, Cha Han Bin wasn’t scared to face Jun Hwi at the scene.
“Every citizen has the right to defense. And who knows about people’s affairs? You may join us, Prosecutor. Don’t underestimate our law firm.”
“It’s not your firm I’m disregarding, but you as an individual. It seems like a matter of professional ethics for a lawyer.”
“….”
“Even after I take off my robe, I refuse to lead a life obsessed with money and victory records.”
Jun Hwi verbally scratched at Cha Han Bin.
His faint smile disappeared as he left him and headed towards his car. He was already irritable because things were not going well. And he happened to encounter the prosecutor who caused it all.
The rarely seen stern gaze of the amiable Cha Han Bin flared threateningly.
“Watch your words. Prosecutor Kwon.”
“How much did you take and how much did you invest? Into the witness.”
“….”
“It’s going to blow up on your client. You couldn’t conclude as ‘no charge’ even though you spent the money. Try at the second trial. I’ll shatter you even more.”
Cha Han Bin, who was glaring at Jun Hwi with raised eyes, had suddenly blocked his way.
“Do you have any evidence?”
“I don’t need evidence. Shallow players like you are destined to fade.”
His eyes, usually so mild, had turned a shocking 180 degrees, the bloodshot veins making them even more terrifying.
It was a long time since someone had dared to confront Jun Hwi face to face. Even then, to Jun Hwi, he was just a wellgrown youngster afraid of failure.
He pushed such Cha Han Bin away with his shoulder, warning him in a quiet voice.
“….Don’t ever mess around in front of me again. Get lost.”
“Prosecutor, you should stop interfering with my path.”
“Go adjust your scam criminal.”
Did Cha Han Bin swear next? Whatever, it didn’t matter.
Jun Hwi, who hadn’t even listened to his final outburst, turned around, started the engine, and drove past the staggering Cha Han Bin.
The quiet Ro and Yul office as usual.
The dinner party passed smoothly, to the point where one wouldn’t even remember when they were worried, and the consultation reports were meticulously written over several days, approved smoothly, and finished.
Having made several trips to the evidence room, the morning had already flown by. Yeon Woo returned to her seat, massaging her tired arms from carrying heavy stuff.
“Miss Hye Jin, could you please label the list of new evidence we received today?”
“Yes, sir. And while you were away, someone called three times. They said they would end up sending you an email after trying to reach you repeatedly.”
“Uh, I’ll check.”
It seems there are others as impatient as Kwon Jun Hwi in other companies. Yeon Woo didn’t think much of it and clicked on the mailbox.
“…….”
Ji Woo ended up sending an email. To meet Kwon Jun Hwi.
What could that girl be up to, leaving a boyfriend who’s thinking about marriage?
Although I can guess what she’s scheming, there’s no need for Yeon Woo to get involved in others’ affairs. Because that would truly lead to disaster, as someone said.
Just handle Yoon Ji Woo’s request as always, purely in a business manner.
She decided not to mix personal feelings with work as she was about to print the email.
“Sir! Sir Kim!”
I’m going, I’m going!
As if waiting for her to come back from her vacant spot, Jun Hwi’s calling pulled at the back of Yeon Woo’s head.
“Are there any court dates I need to know this month?”
“I marked them in the scheduler.”
If you’re going to call me and then not even look at me when talking, you might as well email. Yeon Woo pouted quietly while looking at his side face, which was only looking at the monitor.
“And, sir, we have a new case.”
Jun Hwi, who was concentrating, pressed his temples and turned his head towards Yeon Woo.
“What is it.”
“We have a request related to trade secrets from B Construction.”
Please, please, please refuse it! You’re busy, sir!
Suddenly, Yoon Ji Woo’s annoying laughter sounded, and the earlier calmness disappeared. As he carefully skimmed the content, the real intention began to revolve in Yeon Woo’s head.
Don’t think about it. I need something else to distract me.
Just then, his neat and tidy desk, with his sleeves rolled up and his arm raised, caught her eye.
Every time I looked, there were piles of files, ring binders, and law books scattered around. Seeing the glass bottom revealed by the tidiness was a rare sight. Yeon Woo glanced around his desk.
There was a small frame under the dual monitor. It seemed to be a picture taken with a few people.
‘Is it a family photo?’
I didn’t know he’d set up something so unfitting, maybe his sentimentality isn’t completely gone.
After Being Cheated On, She Picked Up a Treasure (Female-dominant)
One-line summary: The husband I married on a whim had been secretly in love with me for a long time.
On the day when Jun Shao finally obtained the imperial decree for her marriage, Lan Qu, the person she had admired for six years, defied the decree and ran away.
Her gentleness and devotion, her promise of a lifetime together, were all disregarded by him. Instead, he dreamed of entering the palace to serve the Emperor’s sister as a sixth-rank attendant.
News of this incident spread throughout the capital, and the alleys in front of and behind the Lan mansion were crowded with people who came to watch the commotion.
Jun Shao should have been embarrassed and angry.
But someone stepped in to protect her dignity.
The figure was in a miserable state, yet still possessed an undeniable elegance and handsomeness.
The young lord struggled to climb the wall of the Lan mansion and shouted to her, “If he won’t marry you, I will!”
So, Jun Shao took advantage of the situation and married the person.
She thought the young lord did it to save the Lan family from the crime of defying the imperial decree, but never imagined that from beginning to end, what he coveted was her.
*
After the wedding, Jun Shao felt like she was living in a dream.
Her Wife-master was as beautiful as a fairy in a painting, skilled in the six arts, well-versed in poetry and literature, capable of being gentle and attentive, and also grand and dignified. Most importantly, she was the only one in his heart and eyes.
Jun Shao didn’t know how Lan Shiwu, as a illegitimate son without a father and blessed with beauty, had managed to preserve his purity, recklessly escape, and use his last ounce of strength to ruin his own reputation, all because of his love for her, just to stand before her.
She could only see him gazing at her with eyes full of love, and when she bestowed a name upon him, his eyes shone like stars.
“You have come to me like a weary bird perching on a branch. I shall call you A Qi.”
