The Traps of the Black Swan (Book 2)

Zain alerted her in a warning tone, "Pumpkin, Dylan Harmon is controlling us and we don't even know that."

Ruby Jane's expression changed to serenity. She neither panicked nor worried as she had expected Dylan to play something big. She asked in a quiet voice, opposite to the bubbling anger of Zain, "For example?" She wanted to know the gist of his reach.

At another end of the call, Zain calmed down hearing his sister. He realized he was overwhelmed at the newfound revelation and reached out to her forgetting she was at the court. Whereas his little sister was expecting it, probably an even bigger revelation. So he just gave the tip of the iceberg, "Dylan gave the information of your location to the military."

Ruby Jane recalled the day she was brutally pushed to the brink of death. Lisa had orchestrated the terrorist attack and used the military to search for her. Dylan gave the tip-off to the military so that she could be saved. And it wasn't the only time Dylan tried to save her, first he let her run from the hotel, gave her mobile in the elevator, malfunctioned the handgun.

"Dylan Harmon set me up against Seungri. He wanted a woman to destroy Seungri." Ruby Jane briefed the possible intentions of Dylan.

Zain was about to agree with her first set of words but paused hearing her last words. Thinking of the whole situation after hearing Ruby Jane, Dylan indeed had countless numbers of chances to destroy Seungri but he held back and waited.

Ruby Jane looked at Lisa who came to her. She watched a hint of concern on Lisa's face looking at her unreadable. Ruby Jane could guess what Zain and Lisa were going to do with Dylan. Her gaze shifted to Jisoo who went inside the courtroom with Nikun and Driss Carlos. She chose to keep Mino and Jisoo out of this or else they will end up killing Dylan.

"Apple Pie, are you free at five?" She asked so that they could kick the truth out of Dylan.

Zain understood her intention and was glad she wasn't going alone, "Send me the address." Then he ended the call hearing her hum.

"What's wrong?" Lisa immediately asked.

Ruby Jane watched him for a few seconds. Although she could only confirm after speaking with Dylan, she wildly guessed, "I was chosen to destroy Seungri." She found it strange and extremely infuriating.

If it was Seungri's lust that brought her to this state, she could blame her fate for catching his attention. However, it was hard to digest that somebody chose her to go through the pain for their interest.

Lisa's face darkened significantly, he clenched his teeth understanding her words very accurately, "DYLAN HARMON." He said through his teeth.

Ruby Jane held his arm, totally understanding his anger when she, who doesn't like violence, was craving to punch Dylan in the face. "Not now, Lili." She had so many questions to be answered.

However, Lisa sat in the courtroom with murderous air when judge Rowlatt was concluding the session.

"After going through the evidence and testimony regarding the case number XXXX, attempting to kidnap and harm, Seungri fails to prove his innocence."

He glanced up from the paper he was reading and continued, "On the request of the defense lawyer, the court is granting a day before the final hearing of the case on Wednesday."

Nikun had expected it. Seungri's main bargain, his psychological condition of anger management. James would have used it right away if the case was just about an attempt to kidnap. However, Seungri would be sent for interrogation due to new cases so James was waiting to bring it up at the end when there was no hope.

Judge Rowlatt continued, "The court is ordering Sean Harmon to write the complaint about his friend's death for further investigation and cooperate with the investigation process.
