As Hyunbin spoke, he took his phone out and was about to make a call.

"No! Don't! Please don't do that! Don't!" Chaerin quickly threw herself at him, half-kneeling and crawling as she held onto Hyunbin's leg, stopping him from making the call.

"Hyunbin, don't! Hyunbin, don't make the call. Don't!"

Chaerin turned pale out of fright. She reached out and wanted to snatch the phone from Hyunbin's hand, yet he evaded it and looked coldly at her. "Sign it or make the call. Choose one yourself!"

"I don't want to, Hyunbin! I don't want to choose either one! I really do love you, I really do! Why do you have to treat me this way? Why!?"

She broke down and fell to the ground as her cheeks streamed with tears. Her swollen face appeared even more miserable and her hands trembled as she picked the divorce papers that had fallen to the ground up.

"Hyunbin, I'll change. I'll listen to you from now on as long as we don't get divorced, okay? I'm begging you... I don't want to get a divorce..."

Chaerin wanted to make a final attempt to struggle, yet Hyunbin had already made the call.

"Hello? Lawyer Wang..."

"Don't! Hyunbin! No! Don't make the call! I'll sign! I'll sign! I'll sign..." Chaerin quickly picked up the pen that fell to the ground in a panic, and she messily signed the papers.

"I've signed it, Hyunbin. I've signed it. Don't make the call. I've signed it..."

With a clatter, the pen in Chaerin's hand fell to the ground. She remained sitting limply on the ground, crying as she was close to a breakdown.

Hyunbin hung up, then he slowly bent down and picked up the divorce papers. When he saw that Chaerin had signed them, the coldness in his eyes faded away a little.

It had been more than 20 years!

More than 20 years!

His bruised heart had long turned into ashes in the midst of this battle of resentment. Now that he was free, if he turned around to chase it all back, would his heart rise from the ashes?

His heart was a stalk of grass. The roots were with Ye-Jin. If she let him live, he lived. If she let him die, he would die!

Na Na, I am back now, and I am have nothing at all. Would you still love me?

Whether or not you are willing to accept me, this time, I'll definitely fulfill my promise...

Hyunbin kept the document and put it back into the folder. Then, he turned to look at Chaerin who had slumped limply onto the floor. "When all's done, I will get Ah Hui to pass you the pictures. Also, if I could get these shots the first time, I can definitely get them a second time. If you don't want your reputation ruined, I hope that you will behave! You'd better watch out!" he warned before turning to leave the room.

His hostile and heartless retreat hurt Chaerin's eyes. She wanted to quickly and frantically chase after him, yet his figure had vanished out of the door.

"Hyunbin! Don't leave!" Chaerin cried out until her voice was hoarse as she tried to make him stay. To her chagrin, what answered her was only the breeze that rustled from the window.

"Mayor!"

Hyunbin had just opened the door when Ah Hui called out. Before he could react, Krystal and Sun Yeong had appeared before him.

"Father, what's wrong with you?"

Krystal could hear Chaerin sobbing from outside the door, so she quickly walked in. A charred smell immediately filled the air while at this moment, Chaerin ran up to her in alarm.

"Krystal, Krystal, quickly get your father back! He made me sign the divorce papers for Ye-Jin, that slut! He's even giving up his position as mayor, and he wants to divorce me!" She held Krystal's hand tightly as if she was her final hope while her whole body trembled.

"What? You've signed divorce papers?" When she heard Chaerin say that, Krystal was astounded!

At that second, Sun Yeong, who was outside, immediately blocked Hyunbin. "Stop right there!"

Sun Yeong spoke sternly, "Divorce? You don't even want to be mayor anymore? What is the meaning of this? You'd better explain it to me!"

Hyunbin abruptly halted his steps as he looked coldly at Sun Yeong. Years ago, this woman he called his stepmother did not facilitate in making today happen any less. If he had known this years ago, he would not have let Chaerin keep Krystal, and give rise to the circumstances they were in today. This woman was also one of the masterminds!

"Didn't I already explain it very clearly? I've sent my resignation letter to the council. Chaerin has signed these divorce papers too. That is what I mean." Hyunbin mockingly challenged Sun Yeong with his stare. Many years ago when Ye-Jin was so determined to ask for a divorce, this woman had no less mocked and ridiculed Ye-Jin. Just thinking about someone as proud as Ye-Jin, after bearing the pain of his betrayal, how could she also bear insinuations of the criticisms?

Hyunbin understood Sun Yeong too well. This woman put benefit above all else!

"Nonsense! This is such a huge matter! Are you trying to shock the family? I don't agree to this. You can't. Immediately get your resignation letter back and nullify the divorce papers too!" ordered the iron-willed elderly lady immediately.

Yet, Hyunbin just laughed coldly. "No one can change my decision. I've already handed my resignation in and I'm determined on getting divorced!"

"Do you really insist on doing so?"

When Sun Yeong saw Hyunbin's set attitude, she felt her whole body tense up as if she was entering into battle mode. Her aged face turned stiff, then she looked furious.

"What? Do you want to use those things to threaten me again? This trick has lost its effect. Your safe has already been cracked open. Everything is with me. Your so-called evidence has already been burned to ruins by me, so all of this should end now." Hyunbin's deep voice came through. He reached out to take the papers that were half-burned and handed them to Sun Yeong.

"What did you say!?" In shock, Sun Yeong quickly snatched the remaining papers from Hyunbin's hand. Upon closer look, she was startled!

It was the contents of her safe!

How could he have known the existence of the safe, and even get access to the safe key and password?

Sun Yeong kept thinking about it, but she could not figure it out!

However, the only person who could get hold of the key was only Manoban Jiyang!

When she thought about this possibility, Sun Yeong could not help but grind her teeth. She took a few steps back until her back bumped into the cold railing. She then held onto the railing and steadied herself!

Bam!

"Grandmother! Be careful!" Krystal instantly went over to help hold Sun Yeong.

"I hope these things will come to an end now. When I've settled things in my apartment, I'll come over to bring Father over. From now on, this place will have nothing to do with me. Don't go disturbing Ye-Jin and the rest anymore. Otherwise, I can't guarantee that there won't be a second batch of news delivered to you."

Hyunbin glanced indifferently at Chaerin who cried her eyes out and was pale. A sneer of disdain twisted at the corner of his mouth before he then turned and walked downstairs.
