The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

315

Chaeyoung who went out saw there were other doctors to help Lisa and her presence would cause an unnecessary crowd in the mobile clinic so she stayed out.

When Chaeyoung went inside the club, her eyes fell on Tia who was sitting on the stairs. "Tia..." Chaeyoung lifted Tia's face, saw her moistened, eyes red. She tried to calm her down, seeing her in a helpless state. Chaeyoung didn't lie and told her how much ever she was able to understand Mino's case.

"Mino's muscles are torn, his nerve might be damaged causing the heavy blood loss. Brother Zain had arranged blood so he will recover quickly. You have to be strong." Chaeyoung hugged her at the end.

Tia got a call from her team mentioning Seungri attacked the Highland club. So she rushed over there. She was working alongside her team when Mrs. Spencer called her and told her about Mino's car being damaged brutally in an accident which was all over the news channels.

She wanted to go but Clark didn't let her leave saying she would only increase the trouble on Ruby Jane. With that, the news was circulating as Mino wasn't in the car. Now, she didn't know if she should breathe in relief or worry more after seeing an unconscious Mino.

Before Chaeyoung came, she didn't know who she should reach out to know about Mino or how she should react. If she was just a shopkeeper of Ruby Jane's flower shop, she knew not just Chaeyoung, Jisoo and Ruby Jane would have kept her close too. She didn't know how to smooth out the strained relationship ship with everyone.

Anyway, being alone for so many years and toughening herself, it wasn't difficult for her to appear all fine when her heart was still shuddering in fear.

Once Tia got hold of herself, Chaeyoung took her inside to Jisoo's office room. Chaeyoung was also worried about how Ruby Jane came by flight.

---

Inside the office, Zain and Jisoo fell silent when they noticed Ruby Jane sitting emotionless. There was no change in her expression when she was staring into the space while thinking something. They could only hope she wasn't pressuring herself.

Jisoo felt Seungri had played well this time. Even though Seungri hadn't gained what he aimed for, he hurt each of them, emotionally. If he hadn't identified the smell of drugs or if his fear of relapse hadn't affected him so much, he would have attended Ruby Jane and Mino's call. Then they wouldn't have worried and left their place.

If Mino had listened to Ruby Jane and returned to the home, he could have been completely safe. Then he wouldn't have regretted his actions.

And Ruby Jane, Jisoo knew she would blame herself for every action of Seungri that affects them. And she doesn't let them see how she was handling everything, without bursting into tears.

Zain tried to discern Seungri's actions. Seungri being cunning and sharp, after facing so many failures and analyzing Ruby Jane's plan, Seungri wouldn't put his plan so simple. Zain could say Seungri would be preparing for the next attack or there was something they were missing out on.

Zain glanced at Ruby Jane. He knew she would be thinking the same and more profound than him so she let her think. His next thoughts were about the men who were keeping an eye on them.

Lisa's men could easily take down Seungri's men who were waiting for them to exit the club. But it would only increase the bloodshed of the men who were doing the work just for money. Those men held no grudge against them. Seungri doesn't deserve so many lives of the men yet, Zain or others couldn't take them easily and sacrifice their life.

Ruby Jane suddenly and coldly uttered with her eyes turning murderous,  "It's time to bring the rat out." If Seungri was planning to attack them back to back, she didn't wasn't going to strengthen her defense. Lisa would proficiently handle it. So she was going to attack crumbling Seungri's plan and divert his focus.
