Seoul, South Korea
Lee and Bong-Cha's place
The two strode down the stairs with arms intertwined. Though Bong-Cha's eyes were red after crying for long.
Looking around, Lee could see his son and soon to be daughter in-law. They're seated together and catching fun but his daughter is not with them.
"Where is Jin-joo?"
Before he could complete his last sentence, Dong-Hyun took Chung-Cha from his lap and carefully placed her on the couch before making his way towards his parents with his both hands in his pockets.
"She received an urgent call from her branch in California by one of her good paying clients." He feared his father might disown him.
"Okay, when is she coming back?"
"Umm...she didn't tell."
Lee nodded and guided his wife towards the couch. Sitting beside her, he crossed his hand over her shoulders, "Alright, if that be the case," He took his phone out to call someone, "She'll be in California, you know her home address. I've already sent it to you." He hung up.
Looking at his father suspiciously, "Father, who was that?"
Shoving the phone into his pocket, "Yusheng?"
Rolling his eyes, oh his old friend. It's alright, he won't say a thing now but let him not cause trouble in his sister's relationship. Just a one night dinner date, right?
.....
The next morning.
Police Custody, LA Division.
Visitors area
Constantly tapping the table with his fingers, Liam inquired, "That was what you keep on saying. You've not brought a new solution yet and when I need you, you were no where to be seen."
Holding his hands in hers, Lorena sighed, "Am so sorry I couldn't make it yesterday. I had to take a break after–" She looked at her both sides and lowered her voice, "Murdering that idiot."
"Murder?!" He exclaimed.
Lorena widen her eyes and quickly covered his mouth before the securities hear them. "Are you mad? Why did you scream like that?"
Taking her hands off his mouth, he gasped, "Mom, you murdered someone again?"
"Yes and so?" She proudly shrug. "And when did you became considerate?"
"Mom?"
"Listen, I killed the man because he didn't do exactly what I asked him to." When Liam raised his brows, she hesitated, "Well...it's because of the video used in framing Sebastian. He ruined it, Liam."
"Like seriously, who uses old graphics to make a video? It was blurry and so difficult to see the persons. Though the erotic scene was perfect but he made so many mistakes which affected the–"
"If you weren't my mother, I swear, I would have asked the police to handcuff you in her. Seriously, I would have did." Liam frowned.
Glaring at her son, she balled her hands, "Liam, what has come over you? We planned this up together from the start, didn't we?"
"Yes mother we did and am tired of it!" He snapped with eyes wide open. Running his hands through his face, he cried, "All these are one of the reasons why am locked in here for months, mother. And you go out there to hurt more souls?"
Lorena fumed harder, "Hey, don't you even dare cast the blame on me. You're lock up here because you ruined our plans."
Lifting his head, he furrowed at her, "What plan, mother?"
She looked at her both sides before placing her arms on the desk, "One simple thing Liam, just one thing; kidnap the celebrity and rape her. And what did you do? You went there to fight Sebastian, bastard."
Helplessly shaking his head, he chuckled pitifully, "If I was still in your league, I would have said yes but no, that's wrong."
Leaning his face closer, he narrowed his eyes, "Mother, have come to realize that people like you deserve to be assaulted for as much as heaven knows."
"Despite you've slept with so many men," He started counting his fingers, "My friends, the neighbors, the chefs, the guards–" He stopped midway when she landed a hot slap on his face.
"You bastard, how dare you say such dirty words against me?"
Massaging the place he just received the slap, he smirked, "What a shameless woman are you. Go on and hit me, mother, do it. But that won't change your true nature as a slut!"
Lorena fumed, her hands clenched on the purse she was holding. She tilted her head sideways for several times in search of any sharp objects to slew him but there were none.
"What is it mother? Searching for a gun to kill me? Of course because that's your only hobby. To kill innocent people whom you forced into something dirty."
"I regret having you as a mother." He broke into tears, "You brought me up this way. How come have been hated by so many? How come nobody likes me? How come I'll do something wrong and you always acknowledge it as right?"
