“Besides that, Kang Hyung-man, the president of Brotherhood Planning, is under suspicion of assaulting a civilian. We at MS Planning learned about this ‘by chance’ and have already submitted a report to the police…”

As the press conference continued, An Representative kept targeting Brotherhood Planning.

‘Assaulting a civilian…? There’s no way the boss would do that…’

Kang Hyung-man was not the type to use violence against an ordinary person without any reason.

But then, something flashed in my mind.

‘Could it be…?’

“In response, we at MS Planning are considering supporting the victim’s lawsuit ‘on humanitarian grounds.’”

It was Namgung Soo-ho.

Kang Hyung-man had once turned Namgung Soo-ho’s face into a mush when he tried to lay hands on me.

Even if it was self-defense, it wouldn’t be easy to completely avoid charges if someone’s face was mangled like that…

And to make matters worse, there were no CCTV cameras in that alley, which meant it would surely be difficult to secure evidence that I had been stalked.

“Just don’t involve me…. Why… even the boss…”

An Representative continued to bring up various matters, exposing Kang Hyung-man in front of the entire nation.

“Kang Hyung-man of Brotherhood Planning has various charges against him, including illegal collection and threats, and we have confirmed that some of his subordinates have criminal records…”

“Ugh… Yes, that’s right. President Kang frequently trespassed into our home, which only has two women…”

With my dad and mom stepping in, shedding tears and piling on more accusations against Kang Hyung-man, he was morphing into more of a piece of human trash through An Representative and my parents’ words.

I couldn’t just stand by and watch my benefactor, Kang Hyung-man, being demeaned like this.

So I tried to plead with Director Jeong…

“…Director Jeong, our boss isn’t that kind of person… he really isn’t…”

“…But the public will believe it, right?”

“……!”

“The words from An Representative and Ye-rin’s parents aren’t entirely false, are they?… I’m sure the public will believe everything they say right now.”

“…Ah.”

Hearing that made my strength leave me, and my hands dropped to the floor.

‘Just insult me instead… just me…’

But as if Brotherhood Planning were the only target from the very beginning, An Representative and my parents ignored me and NAS Entertainment, solely assaulting Brotherhood Planning.

Initially, the staff hurriedly searched for ways to respond to MS Planning, but they just stared blankly at the screen as An Representative didn’t even mention NAS.

In fact, they looked like they were being swayed by An Representative and my parents’ speeches instead.

“Well then, we’ll conclude this press conference. If you have any last words for the public…”

Thus, An Representative spent thirty minutes tearing down Brotherhood Planning before wrapping up the press conference.

And finally…
