Dilemma

2.

An investigation was carried out, evidence was collected, and she was put on trial...

Given the lack of substantial evidence, the case was re-examined to look for more evidence, and the court hearing would continue...

To her dismay, after that one meeting with Jungkook, he never appeared again!

What more, Jungkook even cut off all means for her to be bailed out - those who bailed her out would be killed mercilessly!

The Mu Family certainly did not dare to offend Jungkook.

Mu Lisa thought that the case would soon be concluded and what awaited her would be nothing more but death!

Hence, she gave up appealing her case and chose to fight in silence.

But she was too optimistic!

Jungkook did not leave her to her own destruction though...

...

"Miss Mu, I'm your lawyer. Mr. Jeon appointed me to take full responsibility for your case!"

Since then, the lawyer named Taehyung was the person whom Mu Lisa came in contact with the most over the seven hundred plus days.

This renowned lawyer eventually became the person who cared the most about her life and death.

From the first trial to the second trial, and from the second trial to the appeal, all these took half a year!

Mu Lisa noted Taehyung dutifully performing his duties!

Hence, from the ruling of the death penalty to life imprisonment and later to being acquitted, Mu Lisa stayed aloof from the case, as if she was just watching someone else's story unfolding.

...

Every night amidst the dead silence, Mu Lisa would stare at the ceiling in a daze, recalling Jungkook's words!

Does he hate me?

I am sure he does!

He thinks that I killed Eunha!

Her once naive belief of one could achieve anything with sincerity (TN: the Chinese idiom literally translates as sincerity splits open metal and rocks) went up in smoke on the day Eunha died!

'Who was the father of that fetus, was it really Jungkook?'

Lisa never even dared to ponder the answer to that question!

However, she knew that in the end, Eunha's body was buried in the Jeon Family's private cemetery, along with the unborn fetus.

...

Exiting the black iron gate, the free, cool air filled Lisa's lungs...

Looking up at the gloomy sky, the corners of her mouth curved slightly upwards. Mu Lisa gently wiped the tears away from the corner of her eyes!

The autumn rain is always lingering and moving.

Luo Hai City had been plagued with a haze for a week, and it was rare for the sky to clear up a little today!

The roads were washed by the rain again and again. On the wet paths, the potholes had been filled with water.

The cold wind blew, making the puddles of water rippled and shimmered.

Mu Lisa tightened the thin, old coat around her body. The pair of canvas shoes on her feet was still the same pair sent by her older brother when she was first imprisoned!

Mud and rainwater splattered onto the shoes, which had been washed until its color had faded. A cold chill that could pierce the heart spread up from the soles of the feet.

Stepping forward, Mu Lisa was oblivious as her shoes continuously got battered by the rainwater on the ground...

A black Jaguar braked suddenly and stopped right next to Mu Lisa!

The shrill braking sound caused Mu Lisa to lift her head up. Her expression was cold and indifferent as her clear eyes sized up the pair of old and young coming out of the car!

The old man had white hair with a face that must have been as distinctive as it had been in the past ten years, the veins on his dry red skin bulging. He met Mu Lisa's gaze and spoke, "Young Mistress, Young Master had asked Mina Fu and me to bring you to the Jeon Family Mansion!"

The young girl standing beside him must be Mina Fu. She had a thin figure but was respectfully supporting Butler Fu.

Mu Lisa smiled faintly. Jungkook himself did not come, but he sent Butler Fu over. Could this be considered as giving her face?

After all, Butler Fu was someone who had gone through fire and water with Old Master Jeon. His current position in the Jeon Family was not lower than that of Young Master!

Mina's eyes, which were clear as water, was curiously observing Mu Lisa!

When she first arrived at Jeon Family Mansion, Mu Lisa was already imprisoned!

Everyone in the Jeon Family Mansion was aware of the current situation of their Mistress, but being wise and discreet, they chose not to mention anything!

Mina was only brought into the Jeon Family by her grandfather, Butler Fu, because the Old Mistress wanted to find a suitable maidservant to serve Jungkook, the Young Master.

She had stayed by the Young Master's side for two years, but the Young Mistress whom she had never met before was in front now. Mina could not resist her snooping heart, so when her grandfather was sent to bring the Young Mistress home, she volunteered to follow.

Lisa shivered in the cold, and her body contracted in the cotton coat. An undetectable scoff emerged on her pale little face.

"Butler Fu, you've got the wrong person! There's only Mu Lisa here, no Young Mistress!"
