Arthur stood in front of the dungeon. His eyes passed through the gaps in the iron bars, fixed on the man behind.
"What honor did I get so the Captain visited me himself?" Logan glanced at him from where he sat. His hands rested on the knees bent in front of his chest.
"Logan."
"If you're here just to give a lecture, you'd better turn your back."
"Is this place really comfortable for you that you refuse to come out?" Arthur stuck his hand into his trouser pocket and leaned against the bars opposite him.
"Your tasks are piling up." He said indifferently.
Logan grinned. "Sorry then."
Silence engulfed the two of them in a few seconds. Arthur knew how stubborn this man was, he knew it wouldn't be easy to make him change his mind. Perhaps he should wrap up their conversation and leave, but Logan spoke again,
"... have you ever been in love?" Logan looked pensive, his gaze falling on the wall ahead. He could imagine the first time he
Logan's glared didn't frighten In Ha. She continued her words. "It's because they didn't see it in person. But think about it, if they were here and I did the same thing, what do you think they would do?" Crazy. This woman is crazy. "Ah, I guess they'll call me crazy." In Ha smiled slyly. That's all. "They will never tell anyone that you slapped me because that would turn them into a liar. But I am different. If I decide to tell everyone that you hit me, what do you think will happen?" His reputation would be destroyed by committing violence against women. Nor would he be able to maintain his position. Marianne and her witnesses had done that, but this man failed to see her. Instead, he risked everything to defend her like a fool. "Take it easy. I won't do something lowly like that. What did I get anyway?" Logan saw that Lilian's clear eyes didn't contain any lies, but he couldn't accept the truth. "I re
Michael tapped his fingers. Joe who was beside him sorting some documents."Isn't this weird?""Yes?""That guy reaction. Arthur."Joe seemed to recall the awkward moment when leaving the Lesnerg residence."Every family has a secret." Joe answered flatly.Michael tapped his fingers again. It was possible that Lilian had pre-arranged with Arthur to avoid it. But seeing Arthur's reaction, while subtle, was no less surprised than the Duke and Duchess.His instincts told him that what Lilian said was a joke.But he couldn't just prove it. Digging into Lesnerg's secrets was like entering the darkness. Nothing could reveal what they were hiding. Michael clearly knew one person who could keep a secret until death."Your Highness?" Joe handed the paper in his hand. With an envelope. A party invitation.Michael looked at the moss-green envelope. “Marchioness Quintz sent another party invitation.”In socia
They arrived at the door of the Marchioness Quintz residence in an instant. In Ha smoothly slipped her bare arm into the crook of Arthur's arm. Before the guards announced their arrival, In Ha whispered, "Act as a good lover." In Ha then glanced at him. "Well, do you know what is a lover, right, brother?" she giggled. Arthur kept his mouth shut and with a straight face escorted In Ha inside. Th sparkle and luxurious chandeliers were the most one eye-catching things that welcome them. Each end of the building was decorated with light and flowers and some expensive vases. The tables on the right and left were filled with food and drinks of various colors. The atmosphere was more lively with various colors of glittering dresses passing in front of her. In Ha swept her eyes quickly. Many pairs of eyes on her. More precisely, on the figure beside In Ha. In Ha smirked, unable to hide the pride of being escorted by a handsome man. "Arthur, Lillian!"
Countess Grissham gracefully moved between them and praised Lilian. Agnelia thanked her and ignored the people who spoke badly about her daughter earlier. But, in the blinks of eye, the tension around them immediately decreased when the sound of music heard.They retreated one by one and find their respective partners then head to the dance floor. The Count and Countess Grisham bid farewell and joined the people who had started swinging in the center of the hall. The Marchioness who was ignored with mere pleasantries also retreated quietly."That Countess must be so annoyed his son didn't in that she dared to poke me!" Agnelia still harbored her annoyance. "If it wasn't for the Marchioness who paved the way, they wouldn't have dared to open their mouths in front of me."In Ha chuckled. Agnelia grumbled behind her open fan."Mother, don't mind them. They can only bark without biting.""But still!" She closed her fan. "I hope you don't mind them. I d
Michael stared at The Young Master and The Young Miss from Lesnerg with a deepening frown on his forehead and snorted.Even though they were brother and sister in front of others, did they need to stick like leeches? And Arthur! Since when his cold friend could flirt like that? Are they not aware of people's gazes on them? Do they intend to reveal their secret to the general public?That person couldn't help but begin to believe the secret he heard over breakfast at Arthur's residence was true. Although it was true, his irritation still lingers. How could that be?!He clicked his tongue.The first dance song was almost over. Michael prepared to approach Lilian and ask her to dance to the second song, but who would have thought, he was a step late. Noland nodded politely and pulled Lilian away from Arthur.Arthur reluctantly swaped partners with Noland. He escorted Agnelia and danced to the second song.Agnelia looked at Arthur's face and her
The day passed and In Ha back to her task.Some of the documents submitted to her were completed in the afternoon. She raised her hands and stretched her muscles."Uhh ..."For the first time in her life, she sat seriously doing something behind a desk, something she never did, even in school.Oops.She moved her head and massaged her neck. Her eyes were fixed on Arthur's desk, which turned out to be empty. Apparently, she was so immersed on her work that she didn't notice Arthur leaving the room.The documents contain interesting things that she have never been read. Like, she never knew that the purchase of whole horse food in The First Division was not haphazard. It also has to go through several tests, and the one who did the test was its trainer.That's...bleehh.If she had a horse, she wouldn't want to taste a shred of its food!She also noticed that Edmund was not moving from his position since the first time he e
"I saw you enter first. The guy next to you is too stiff and always keeps his distance. So he can't be your lover. There are only two types of young couples like you who come to this market. Men and women who are in relationship or an aristocrats with their knights. And I think the answer is the second one. You just confirmed it yourself." He spoke at length. "Ah ... I see ..." It was not her, but Edmund who failed at acting. It turned out that this kid was smart too. "I never thought you were meticulous and observant. I'm sure you will be successful if you can get out of this cycle." Six was taken aback. For the first time in ten years of his life, someone praised him. But praise was not enough. "My gold?" "You can cut out of the pouch you stole." "You tricked me?" The boy turned his head and glared at her. "You damn aunty! Get off me quickly!" "Are you cursing me?" She tightened her grip. This child's body was so thin
Mr. Q's reaction was slower, In Ha managed to injure the one closest to her and the man beside him. While the shock was still over them, she grabbed Six's hand and dragged him. "Run!!!" She ran without looking back, dragging the dazed Six. "Get that bitch!" They chased after In Ha and Six who were already running ahead. Six overcame the shock and ran to keep up with her, even faster. "This way." Six was very familiar with this area. He led In Ha to reach the night market faster. "Call your guard, hurry!" "How can I call him?!" In Ha ran while spreading her gaze. If only she had the tools to contact Edmund!! Now she wish had a phone! "Then we part here." Six was ready to run towards the opposite direction. "Wait!" She didn't know this area. Running aimlessly would only make things worse. "How-ouch!" She hit by someone and fell down. Mr. Q and his companions pulled her hoods and dragged her to
An old woman looked down at the distance. Her gaze fell on a pair of smiling lovebirds.She squinted her wrinkled eyes to make sure what she saw was real."Well, I guess it's about time that bastard opened the portal, right?"The granny turned to her side. A big wolf with sprakling silver fur stared at the same point."That is the last one." he mumbled.The next second, they heard something crack behind them. The two of them turned their heads in the same time and looked back.From out of nothing, a red crack appeared in the air and slowly revealed the sides inside."Come on." The big wolf was already on all fours and stepped inside.The granny, who had been known as a shaman all her life, followed the wolf without hesitation.It was time for her to end her life in this world.And continue the one that has been interrupted in that world.
The photo of In Ha being discharged from the hospital a few days ago returned to the gossip forums. Her fans made a fuss on her social media.'Hey, just yesterday her photo with A guy was seen, this time he has taken B with her.''Eh, do you think this guy looks like the guy in the Writer Kim scandal?''Wow, my goddess did not choose the wrong partner.''Uh, I just want to cry. They look good together.’Lee Han massaged his forehead.Now he knew why this special actress always escaped when she was caught in a case. The man in the photo was the investor in every job In Ha took. He even owned shares in Jewel Entertainment.Lee Han felt that maybe he should start worshiping that woman.The woman he wanted to worship called.“Lee Han Oppa!”"Yes. What is it? Are you okay?""Yes thank you. I want to tell you something…” In Ha took a long pause in between.Lee Han raised his
"I'll ask again, did you sleep with In Ha too?" the way he caledl her name made it sounded intimate.In Ha felt Arthur's hand on her waist tighten. He stiffened. Either because he feel offended or angry at Ji Hoo's words. What was certain is that In Ha really didn't like the words that come out of his dirty mouth. Did he think people of the opposite sex should sleep together every time they met?"You-!"“For a well-known lawyer, your mouth doesn't live up to your reputation. Ah, I think a new reputation might be appropriate.” Arthur cut In Ha calmly. His demeanor made the opposite of his tight touch."Ha! Screw that reputation."Ji Hoo found out what Bon-Hwa was doing behind his back. At first, he hoped it would turn In Ha back to him, but instead, it made his name even more muddy.“I forgot to tell you. I already fired that woman. So there's no reason why we can't be together, right?” he looked at In Ha sharply.
…Alex's head was spinning. He wanted to abandon this case.Today, they gathered together on the grounds of mediation. With the excuse that she was still injured, In Ha stayed at the hospital so they decide to meet in her room.They here referred to In Ha as a victim, Alex as her lawyer and Anna Kim's representative as her defender.But who would have thought, the lawyer who came and sat in front of them was Won Ji Hoo?That scandalous lawyer?And Seo In Ha's rumored ex-boyfriend?The latest information he got, Won Ji Hoo took over the case that should be handled by Lawyer Wang.Alex hated criminal lawyers. Especially lawyers who defend everything for money. It didn't matter if they were guilty or not. And Won Ji Hoo fell into this category. Even so, his career in the world of lawyers couldn be said to be good. That made Alex even more reluctant to deal with him.It wasn't just Alex who had a wrinkled face.
Anna who was stay in the prison bit her nails in annoyance.How could she fall into that bitch's trap? She also could only blame herself for impulsively picking up that broken vase which was thrown at her.She should have moved even faster, then she could have sliced that sly face of her and damaged it."I didn't have time to do anything to that bitch, how could they hold me back?!" Anna shouted at the lawyer Kim Yu Kwan had hired.The Lawyer stood right outside of bars were already reviewing the case. He took Anna only to lighten her sentence. About how to free her, it was rather difficult because there were witnesses and evidence that clearly cornered her.“You must be able to do something! Aren't you my father's chosen competent lawyer?” Anna looked at him in frustration. She assumed that if Alex represented her, she would get out of the pinch easily. But the man did not receive any of her calls.No. No.Anna couldn't l
Su Jung blamed him and stopped all her activities.The classical music two decades ago already had a promising future, yet Su-Jung threw it away in search of her daughter. But no matter how hard they did, they couldn't do anything, because of limited resources and manpower at that time.After nearly 20 years, they have finally come to light.Actually, when he saw In Ha debut as an actress, Seo Jun had been trying to find out about her because of the similarities between him and the girl, but as if an invisible wall was blocking him, he could never get close to her.It continued until at one point he stopped researching about In Ha, in search of more money and other sources, then, a while ago, when their CEO brought In Ha in, his feelings got even more crazy and he started to find out again.He didn't expect her and Heo Jun to live in the same place and Su-Jung even interacted with her. If it wasn't for Byung Ul, they wouldn't be able to ask for thi
The next day, Heo Jun immediately came to the hospital after Alex called him as In Ha agreed to their condition.He couldn't wait to have his blood drawn or his hair pulled.Su-Jung didn't come along, but Jin Seo Jun, who heard the thing, rushed to accompany his son.He looked at Arthur awkwardly. He didn't want to say a word to Arthur since it was not a business, but that man was one of the company's best assets. He couldn't help but greet him.In Ha was surprised to see Seo Jun's presence. She didn't expect this man and that dangerous looking Lady to be a married couple.The process of taking In Ha and Heo Jun's blood samples for comparison only took a short time. As if to make sure the result didn't lack anything or need to be repeated, Seo Jun also voluntarily asked for a test to be taken from him.The inspection process, which should have taken 2 weeks, could be seen in one day. Thanks to Adam who felt guilty and wanted to make up
Anna stood up in a flash.Her hand grabbed the broken flower vase and with a raised hand attacked In Ha.Arthur who heard a loud noise rushed in with the nurse who accidentally passed by and heard the commotion."AHHHH!"The shrill voice of the nurse beside him froze Arthur in place. His body reacted without having time to think. He grabbed Anna and threw her to the floor.Anna shouted in pain. She felt her bones shatter and the shards of the vase in her hand stabbed into the palm, making a deep cut.In Ha, who should have been able to go home that day, was hospitalized again with scratches along her left arm.Arthur's panicked reaction when he saw the blood flowing from her hands covered up the fact that a small smile was on In Ha's lips.Anna got the arrest warrant that very night.The media who were preparing outside the hospital could only stretch their necks when the artist who was expected to be discharged from the
Arthur gazed at In Ha who looked back at him. Her eyes full of question marks. Her mouth formed the word 'what'."Arthur?""I'll call you back later." He just hung up the phone."Why? Is there any serious problems?”In Ha had a guess. She spent all her day on the phone after Hyun Jae went home. The news about the real Anna graced all the online gossip outlets."He asked me to meet and talk to Anna."In Ha looked at Arthur who was staring at her in silence. "You want to talk to her?""No. But I also want to know why she did it.”"Go meet her."Arthur was surprised to hear In Ha's words. His outstretched hand to reach In Ha's luggage stopped.“But in exchange, I want to came along. I can't just leave you alone with that woman. There's something I want to confirm anyway." In Ha stood up and buttoned his shirt up.Arthur sighed.He could faintly smell In Ha's scent and his specific part
