Revenge against Kim Han-Gyo was the final and greatest objective of Kang Ra-Eun’s life, but she had rarely confronted him without a mask. She could count the number of occurrences with just one hand, and one of those instances was taking place now in this very press conference venue.

Han-Gyo was lost for words by Ra-Eun’s appearance. On the other hand, the reporters pressed their camera shutters due to the sudden situation; they couldn’t afford to miss such a valuable moment like the confrontation between a famous actress and a once-famous influential politician.

Ra-Eun said to Han-Gyo while completely unfazed, “I would like to hear what you have to say. Please continue.”

It was as if she was taunting him to do as he liked. Han-Gyo’s mind went blank. He had never expected for the person who he was sure was the culprit to come here herself. Even as the person who had set up this event, he was completely taken aback.

He was having trouble talking, but he managed to come back to his senses and continued his claims. He considered this as an opportunity rather than danger; now that he had changed his thoughts, he felt like it was instilling him with courage.

“Are you afraid that your actions will be revealed to the world? You must’ve come all the way here because you couldn’t stand for it.”

Ra-Eun did not fall for Han-Gyo’s obvious taunts.

“I’m simply here to refute your allegations directly, so you don’t have to think about it too deeply, Congressman.”

She was not an easy opponent; Han-Gyo gulped and changed the display on the projector. It showed the scene where he first met the masked woman. A blurry CCTV footage of Ra-Eun having visited Han-Gyo’s residence personally had been recorded. However, because it had been nighttime and the footage itself was of low resolution, it was almost impossible for anyone to tell if the person in the footage was a man or a woman, or even if they were wearing a mask or not.

The reporters mumbled to each other.

“That’s supposed to be Kang Ra-Eun?”

“I can’t really tell...”

Han-Gyo needed more surefire evidence. He angrily turned the slide to the next piece of evidence. It was the scene back when Ra-Eun had gone to rescue Reporter Ahn Su-Jin. However, Ma Yeong-Jun had taken measures to delete the majority of the footage, so there were barely any left that clearly showed Ra-Eun. These two materials had already been revealed to the public before.

Ra-Eun feigned laughter. “Do you only have reused materials?”

“Of course not.”

Han-Gyo changed the slide. The photos provided by Reporter Jung Seong-Hyun filled the screen. Han-Gyo had built up his case all this time just to reveal these.

“Please take a good look, reporters! Kang Ra-Eun in a mask perfectly matches the silhouette of the masked woman that I’ve shown!”

Han-Gyo claimed that the appearance of the masked woman was very similar to the masked woman, and that only their masks were different.

Just then, Su-Jin spoke, “Isn’t it unreasonable to claim that Miss Kang is the masked woman just because they share the traits of wearing a mask and that they’re both women? In that case, I could also be the masked woman.”

The reporters seemed to agree more with Su-Jin than Han-Gyo. Firstly, the resolution was far too low, and they couldn’t see anything that could be a distinct characteristic of Ra-Eun. All that was similar was long hair and a voluptuous figure. Comparing those two points to every single woman in the entire world, there would be hundreds... no, thousands of women that matched such traits.
