“Why does Jungkook always think that his father’s death is related to you?” she decided to ask directly, “What’s going on with this case?”
This question caught Hyunjae off guard. He didn’t expect that after opening up so much, what Lisa was concerned about was not whether Jungkook had deceived her, but whether he had deceived her.

Hyunjae lowered his head and his gaze softened. “This case is too old, and to be honest, I can’t remember all the details clearly. But you can find them in the case database, and the judgments and rulings are also available for electronic access on the Judicial Documents Network. If you’re interested, you can take a look.”

He raised his head again. “Lisa, believe me, I’m telling you all this for your own good. Because our relationship is not the kind of rumor that is spreading, if Jungkook really hurt or deceived you, I would be upset and even angry, but honestly, it wouldn’t cause me unbearable pain. Jungkook’s sneaky move didn’t really hurt me that much. I could have kept quiet, but I don’t want you to be hurt.”
Bai Lisa looked at Hyunjae but didn’t say anything.

Faced with her reaction, Hyunjae felt a little reluctant and helpless. “Silly child, do you still believe Jungkook until now?”

“I believe him,” said Lisa calmly and confidently, “because I trust my own judgment. The man I like wouldn’t do something so despicable and wouldn’t even stoop to using a woman’s emotions. Even if every word that Lawyer Hyunjae said is true, Jungkook wouldn’t try to retaliate against you in the way you described. He’s an upright man. If he wants to win, he’ll fight for it himself, and if he wants to defeat you, he’ll do it openly and honestly.”

Before he approached Lisa, Hyunjae had anticipated her reaction. Perhaps she would cry bitterly upon learning the truth, or maybe she would hesitate and be unsure, or she might not want to believe it and even argue with him. But he had never expected this kind of reaction from her.

Lisa was completely calm and composed, and Hyunjae’s heartfelt words could not shake Jungkook’s position in her heart.

Hyunjae had never thought that Lisa would trust Jungkook more than him. Although they had previously had conflicts, he had never felt that these conflicts were irreparable. Deep down, he believed that Lisa would trust him. After all, they had gone through too many things together over the years, whereas Jungkook had only known Lisa for a short time.

However, the facts spoke for themselves.

For the first time in his life, Hyunjae looked crestfallen and sad. “So you believe him, but you don’t believe me Lisa?”

Lisa looked into Hyunjae’s eyes and spoke each word forcefully, “I used to believe you, but now, I’m having trouble understanding you. You’ve changed, and I don’t know if I can trust you anymore. Anyway, thank you for the coffee. I know what you wanted to tell me, and I’m also busy with additional evidence for the Taemu case. Jungkook and I won’t lose this case. We’ll win openly and honestly.”

After saying these words, Lisa paid the bill and left the private room without hesitation, leaving Hyunjae alone to stare at his cooling coffee in a daze.

Although Lisa was calm and composed when she left Hyunjae, her inner world was actually in turmoil and shock. She had never thought that there was such a history between Jungkook and Hyunjae.

She believed in Jungkook, but she still wanted to sort out what happened between Jungkook and Hyunjae. Almost as soon as she returned to the office, she opened the case library and the judicial document network, and began searching with the names of Hyunjae and Jeon Daehan as keywords. Soon, there were corresponding results.
