lawyer lee is back

"Lee is back!" Dylan exclaims as he enters the room, and the hot tea instantly falls from Sydney hand, spilling on her leg.

..."Lee is back!" Dylan exclaims as he enters the room, and the hot tea instantly falls from Sydney hand, spilling on her leg.

She doesn't even notice the burning sensation.

"Are you for real?" Mr. Chae exclaims, his surprise evident.

"Yes, Dad, you know the property theft case that Mom appointed Rex for? Everything was going smoothly until the chief judge said we should go for a short break,"

he swallows and continues, "Then, the attorney of those 'rags' didn't return, only to be replaced by Lee. And he won the case! He presented all the evidence we destroyed."

Mr. Chae's anger flares. "Why would they free him? How could they?" He angrily picks up the phone to make a call, clearly unhappy about the turn of events.

"Are you that unhappy to know that he is free?" Sydney utters, challenging her father. Mr. Chae frowns at her.

"How could you speak to your father like that?" Andrew cautions her.

Sydney hisses and angrily leaves the room.

Sharon enters the room, immediately sensing that something is wrong. She greets Mr. Chae and is about to sit down when he drops a bombshell. "Have you heard from your lowlife brother?"

She turns to him, startled. "No, how would I when he's in prison?"

"So, you don't know he got released?" Mr. Chae inquires, and Sharon's eyes widen in shock. Eden stands up and approaches his wife, guiding her to sit down.

"I don't think we should be worried, should we?" Dylan asks, trying to offer some reassurance.

Mr. Chae sternly looks at him, his anger still consuming him as he continues making calls, determined to get to the bottom of this.

Alyson clutches her resume tightly to her chest. It's become clear that the system can't survive in this world. She had been dismissed from her previous firm for helping an elderly woman reclaim her property from an influential person, and since then, she's been searching for new job opportunities.

"I am here for the interview," she tells the receptionist, who guides her to the CEO's office. She enters the room, and the CEO is engrossed in his work on the computer.

"Please, sit down," he prompts, and Alyson complies. As the CEO raises his head, he's just as surprised to see Alyson as she is to see him.

"What... what are you doing here?" she stammers, clearly shocked.

"What do you think? I am the CEO, of course," he replies, his own surprise evident.

"I asked what you are doing here when you were supposed to be in prison," Alyson questions, her tone filled with anger.

"I was released on parole, and I am given a chance to prove my innocence," he explains.

"Oh, this is the work of Mr. Chae, right?" Alyson scoffs.

"No, I have nothing to do with him," he insists.

"Then how... how could you be the CEO of the firm?" Alyson puzzles, seeking answers.

"It happened; I built this. That's the reason I am the owner," he explains.

"I would rather be unemployed than work for a rapist," she spits out.

"I am not a rapist. I told you then that I am not the one," he retorts.

"I can't believe you are still standing by your lies. I wonder what the government is doing, giving parole to someone like you," she hisses, standing up.

"I tell you, I am not the one," he repeats once more.

"Story for the gods. I wonder where you found the money to own this firm," she says and storms out, leaving Lee in the room, the tension between them palpable.

Lee exhales loudly as he rests in the chair.

The woman kneels in front of Mrs. Chae, pleading, "Please, help my son, please."

"You may sit down and tell us what your son did thoroughly so we can understand and help," Mrs. Chae says. The woman sniffs and takes a seat in front of her.

"He... He killed a bar-boy. We had already staged it as a suicide, but my son was caught at the scene, and the whole community of the boy got involved. Now it's moving to court," she explains.

Mrs. Chae raises an eyebrow, asking, "How did this happen, when, what exactly occurred, and what is it that you want?".

"My son, out of rage, mistakenly killed the boy after some misunderstanding. It happened last week, on Monday night. Please, ma, save my son. Don't let him go to prison," the desperate woman pleads, her voice filled with sorrow and fear.

"You don't have to worry. We will get your son out. I will have my best lawyer take your case if you can pay," Mrs. Chae assures.

"I will pay, no matter the amount," the woman cries.

"Okay, please fill out this form first, and we will contact you tomorrow," Mrs. Chae instructs, providing the necessary paperwork to get the process started.

She doesn't even notice the burning sensation.
