“Make sure I won’t be imprisoned here for much longer.” Said Edward. “Make sure my son and I gets free.”
“The evidence against you is rather clear. You were caught in the act. You kidnapped Sulli and the police officers and prosecutors saw that. There was also a tracking of the car that was used to do the kidnapping. The men who were caught in the CCTV that kidnaped Sulli Choi were the same men in the room that was caught with you. Even your son was caught in the act. It would be hard to get away with the kidnapping.” Said the female lawyer.
“How about the murder charge?” asked Edward.
“I have to be totally honest with you, there are two witnesses against you. Your man who killed the woman and the woman’s child. It is still possible to find holes in the murder charge, but it would be hard. The prosecution has a very strong case against you. I will look for a way. But I can’t guarantee anything.” Said the lawyer. “ Sir, Please prepared yourself. The kidnapping charge is a sure guilty decision because the authorities caught you in the act, also with the grave coercion and frustrated homicide cases that was filed by Sulli Choi. Those cases will imprison you for years.”
Edward closed his eyes. Even his lawyer who had not lost a case was saying that he’d be imprisoned!
“That bastard of mine has no gratitude for receiving my name in his birth certificate.” Said Edward. “I shouldn’t have allowed my name to be used. Do everything to make sure we don’t get imprisoned. I will pay you double or even triple.”
“Sir, I am a lawyer. I am no magician.” Said the lawyer. “When the evidence is as clear as this, I know when to fight and I know when to raise the white flag. That is why I never lost a case.”
Edward Choi clenched his hands.
“Sir, I recommend you to make a guilty plea for all the cases. I will represent you and make sure they don’t give you the harshest punishment. But if you insist on the not guilty plea, I would request you to find another lawyer.” Said the lawyer.

10:30AM, Gangnam.
Edward Choi’s lawyer entered a restaurant. She found the men he was looking for and sat with them on the table.
“This is Ji Hyo, she is a very close friend.” Said Gary.
Minho shook hands with Ji Hyo.
“I heard you’re Edward Choi’s lawyer.” Said Minho.
Ji Hyo nodded.
“I heard what you did for Gary in the past.” Said Ji Hyo.
“It’s nothing compared to what Gary did for me.” Said Minho.
“I asked her help regarding your case against Edward Choi.” Said Gary.
“I’ve been Edward Choi’s lawyer for years. I’ve gained his trust by now. I have never failed him once. That is why when I told him that he has no choice but to make a guilty plea for the cases filed against him, he looked nervous.” Said Ji Hyo.
“I don’t know what to say.” Said Minho.
“A thank you is enough. Besides, I did it for Gary. Gary has done a lot for me.” Said Ji Hyo. “Didn’t he tell you he was the one who supported my college education? If not for him, I won’t be a lawyer.”
“You…did?” asked Minho.
“I was inspired by your superman character.” Said Gary. “So I tried it once. Ji Hyo was the lucky one.”
