This Krystal thinks too highly of herself. She's crying innocence now even though there's strong evidence that she was the one who murdered her ex-lover."
"Does she not know shame? Previously, she tried to use Jennie's name to create hype as a newbie actress. She even went as far as sabotaging Suzy's costume during the time they worked in a TV series together."
"Isn't she afraid of being struck by lightning?"
"What do you know? When a woman turns heartless, they could become cruel and disgusting and have no sense of shame anymore."
The last hearing on Bang Chan's death was scheduled today and everyone was waiting to see how this would end for Krystal, who was accused of being the one behind his sudden passing. People were curious about the jury's verdict.
Krystal had lost the sense of time after being held in prison for almost a year now. The amount of money she got from the alimony after her divorce with Kai had mostly been used to pay the lawyers who were failing to prove her innocence.
Far from the beautiful and always charming Krystal, the woman who was brought in by the police looked untidy and distraught. People found it hard to believe that Krystal actually took advantage of Bang's obsession towards her and used him to sustain the lavish lifestyle she had overseas.
Reporters had camped outside the hall of justice, wanting to get a scoop on this scandalous case. When Jennie arrived with her husband, they snapped their cameras frantically towards the power couple. Both were dressed smartly in their three piece business suits, with Jennie rocking her black trousers and black high heels as she walked next to her husband.
Who didn't know about the Big Boss of Bluemedia being married to the business tycoon of the Manoban Conglomerates? There had been rumors that Jennie broke her engagement with Taehyung years ago to marry her childhood friend once Lisa reached marrying age.
Jennie found the rumors laughable, while Lisa thought that it had been him all these time pursuing her, not the other way around.
"President Lee, did you come here to show support for your little sister? Are you and Krystal on speaking terms again?"
Jennie merely smiled and declined to give a statement as usual, not giving them any satisfactory answer they could use to write up.
She only came today to see for herself the kind of punishment Krystal would receive. How could she miss her chance to witness Krystal's miserable state and at her lowest point?
'I came to see the fate of the wicked.' She told Lisa earlier when he asked why would she bother to come here to see Krystal when it's certain that she'll receive capital punishment.
Krystal spotted her in the audience area. Her eyes turned cold, fists clenching so tight her nails painfully digging into her palm. She hated the look of content and happiness on Jennie's face and wanted to tear her face with her own hands.
Why? Krystal couldn't understand. Why was Jennie so lucky? She had thought that Hye Kyo was Jennie's achilles heel, so she targeted her mother as soon as she was able to put her own father under her control.
Jennie only smiled, as if to express the words she couldn't say in Krystal's face. The verdict was about to be announced soon. She spotted Nayeon at the other side of the seats and gave her a curt nod, while the woman smiled genuinely at Jennie for the first time.
It seemed to Jennie that Nayeon was certain that she would get the justice Bang Chan deserved today, but she could only hope that Nayeon would truly move on and live a life she deserved without clinging on to the past.
