HE RETURNED AS A HIGH SCHOOL GIRL (PART ll)

Chapter 244: Drag Down (3)

Kang Ra-Eun had mentioned that she would make it so that Congresswoman Hong would win against Kim Han-Gyo. Even if Han-Gyo had been involved in many controversies, he was still very influential. Not only did he hold great sway in his party, he was the most discussed politician by the public, both in a good and bad way.

Hong Oh-Yeon was skeptical about winning against such a person. However, nothing in the world was eternal. Ra-Eun maintained a firm attitude.

“You can trust me. If things end up not going the way you had wanted, then I will take responsibility in any means necessary.”

Hearing the confidence in Ra-Eun’s voice, Oh-Yeon’s pessimistic attitude changed into a more optimistic one.

- Thank you. I must have had a moment of weakness. Your words have helped me pull myself back together.

Oh-Yeon softly laughed and expressed words of gratitude to Ra-Eun once again.

- I’ve come to a resolution thanks to you, Ra-Eun. I may be lacking, but I’ll do my best.

“I’m sure it’ll turn out well.”

If things went according to the future that Ra-Eun knew, then Han-Gyo would come out on top, no matter who the opposing party pitted against him. However, that was only the case in a timeline where Kang Ra-Eun didn’t exist. It would be different this time around.

Ra-Eun called Ma Yeong-Jun immediately after ending her call with Oh-Yeon.

“It’s me, mister. Can you call Reporter Ahn to deliver what I’m about to say?”

- What should I tell her?

“Tell her to get ready, since the time that I had mentioned will arrive soon.”

Today was the last filming date for Spokesperson. The public had turned their backs on Yang Han-Sik due to Na Ji-Yang’s revelations, bestowing to Han-Sik the humiliation of being deprived of his right to be a congressperson and forever being banished from the world of politics.

Ji-Yang headed to Han-Sik’s house to witness for the last time Han-Sik’s life, which had been ruined by his own greed and ambitions. Han-Sik left his home as if he was being chased out. His glare sharpened the moment that he encountered Ji-Yang. On the other hand, Ji-Yang stared expressionlessly at his wrecked appearance.

“Remember when you said to me that you would be the one to come out on top in the end? Do you still feel the same way?” Ji-Yang asked.

“You’ve gone up in life for a bitch who acts like a parrot for others.”

“It’s all thanks to you.”

Ji-Yang had come this far only to take revenge against Han-Sik. She had finally fulfilled her revenge, but Ra-Eun could not express satisfaction because it was Ji-Yang’s revenge, not hers, that had been fulfilled.

“Cut!” Director Seo Yong-Mun exclaimed.

Ra-Eun slightly bowed and apologized, “I’m sorry. I was thinking about something else...”

She needed to look more refreshed after finally having fulfilled her revenge, so she
had thought that Director Seo had cut the take because she had not. However, Director Seo had not paused the shoot because he had not been satisfied with Ra-Eun’s expression.

“Actually, I liked that expression better.”

“I’m sorry?”

“How should I say it? The expression screamed that you’ve fulfilled your revenge, but its effect still lingers inside you. In any case, I liked that expression of yours much better, and so did the other staff members.”
