26 | PEARL THIEF: Tomorrow's Not Promised

As Dahyun gets to soothe down, they let her regain her energy by sitting on the bed while the three search all around the house for something useful they can use against the High Society. They were also able to open the safe box

“We identified the three unnamed members of the High Society. Prosecutor, Park Jinwoo. A retired actor, David Kang. And a surgeon, Han Meejin” Chaeyoung took all of the files containing informations about the High Society from the safe box

“Han Meejin, I know that doctor..” Nayeon checks the files

“She was convicted ten years ago because she's the big boss who sells organs in the black market”

“Wow, those High Society are really saints, aren't they?” Chaeyoung sarcastically said in irritation

“We should go now. We've been staying here for too long” Y/n spoke

“Alright, I gathered everything. Let's head out”

Meanwhile …

As the other princesses rests, Mina and Momo stays up trying to track down the location where Prince Junho might be after he was exiled by the late king a long time ago, them focusing on the monitor

“Are you sure that your uncle- I mean your real dad is really still alive?” Momo asked as she scrolled down the mouse

“I'm sure, Grandfather admitted that he was still alive somewhere in Europe. But where? I can't really think of anything… I barely knew the man, I was just a kid when he was reported to be dead” Mina said

“Alright, we'll try to uncover this.. when Sana wakes up tomorrow, we should also ask for help since she's great at this too”

Next day …

At the Agency, Dahyun decided to come at work even with what happened to Jin Seohyeon's daughter last night, inside the office she saw Jeongyeon

“Dahyun. Where have you been? You were missing in action, the general and my father are now being investigated. My father, Nayeon's father, and Jin Seohyeon was linked to the prince and his illegal activities”

“Then that means your father will be arrested soon?”

“He should be, after all the things they have done.. he deserved to face the consequences of their actions”

Right, it's about time they got what they deserve

“About Mingyu, why didn't you come? Even at the funeral, you were not there” Dahyun said

Jeongyeon’s mood changed, she looked down and sat down on the office chair which Dahyun clearly noticed that there must be a reason why. Or there's something bothering her

“Is there something I should know, unnie?” Dahyun softly asked

“I don't deserve to send off Mingyu..”

“What do you mean?” Dahyun frowned in confusion

“Because.. Because” Tears started falling down from her eyes, Dahyun approached her

“Unnie, what did you do? Why don't you deserve to send off Mingyu?” Dahyun asked

A part of her knew what Jeongyeon meant, however Dahyun doesn't want to believe it. Her thoughts should be wrong, it must be..

“Unnie.. please, tell me..”

“I was the traitor” Jeongyeon sobs, Dahyun's jaw dropped in shock

“Dad found out that I was still seeing Nayeon, he tried to get an answer from me but I refused.. then he used to threaten that he'll harm mom like she's not his wife… so… I tipped them off when Mingyu and Chaeyoung went undercover that time”
