As for Irene, she working again as usual. Every morning, she go to office from her mom house. First day she was working, she’s shocked to see her mother busy at the kitchen early in the morning with a maid cooking breakfast for them. Her mother is so excited preparing her to go to work. She walk Irene until car porch, making lunch box for her and calling during lunch time to make sure Irene not skip her lunch. She also not forget to pack lunch for Seulgi. When she arrive at home, she can smell delicious food right after she open the front door. She don’t have to cook for dinner like usual. At first it feel weird for Irene because she not used to it but after few days, she look forward to start her morning with her mom

Mrs. Choi also treated Jisoo with love and affection. She cooked healthy food for her daughter-in-law, gave her a massage, and taught her how to take care of infants and many other activities that mother and daughter usually do. Junmyeon is happy that his wife and his mother get along well even though they just met. He also build good relationship with his mother since they spend lot of time together

……………..

A peaceful day in KS building is ruined by Mr. Jung's presence made a scene at the lobby. He called out the CEO, shouting like a freak. Seulgi and Seungwan rushed to the lobby after Secretary Park informed them about the chaos. Same as them, Irene also quickly go to the lobby with her bodyguard follow by Eunbi and Solar

“Kang Seulgi! Where are you?! Come here, you bastard!” Mr. Jung with his face reddened look like he’s going to eat Seulgi alive

“I’m here, Mr. Jung. Don’t shout like a crazy man. You’re disturbing my staff” Seulgi walk with smirk

“Yah!” Mr. Jung dashed to Seulgi and tried to grab his collar but Seungwan was faster. Seungwan grab Mr. Jung collar and walk him back

“Don’t dare touching him with your dirty hand” Seungwan say sternly

“Wan, step back. Let him deal with me. He finally throw himself to lion den so let him feel the consequence for waking up the sleeping lion” Seulgi said and Seungwan do as command

Before talking again, Seulgi takes off his watch and gives it to Seungwan. This time Seungwan not ask anything since he already know the reason

“Mr. Jung, may I know the reason for your sudden visit?”

“You bastard, it’s you who made my daughter detained by police because of something that she did not do! Do you think I don’t know it’s you who is the reason for her detainment? There’s only you who have bad relationship with her and also your stupid assistant!” Mr. Jung pointed at Seungwan

The staff at the lobby are shocked to hear Mr. Jung's statement including Irene. She doesn't know yet about what happened in her house. Seulgi don’t tell her anything yet regarding the incident

Seulgi cackle “Hey, I’m not that stupid and I’m not do bribe like you. When police arrest your daughter that means she is involved in crime. Krystal Jung is a criminal” Seulgi speak louder as he say the last sentence making Mr. Jung angrier

“I already warned her about the consequences if she tries to disturb my fiancé again but your daughter is so stubborn. She still wants to play around with me. It’s not my fault because I also play along with her but in a legal way. I’m not a jerk like Krystal Jung”

Irene gets puzzled as the argument gets farther. She pays full attention to every word that Seulgi says to find out what actually happened between Seulgi and Krystal that makes Mr. Jung burst out in rage. She’s confident that this case have something to do with her

“I bet you know her plan. She’s trying to kidnap my fiancé and asked those men to bring her to the outskirts. What do you think she could do to Irene if only they successfully kidnap her that day? In that apartment is not only Irene but his brother and her heavily pregnant sister-in-law. If only those men break in when they are at home, they could harm many lives, especially the unborn baby. Thankfully God is by our side. All of them are not at home and the culprit is successfully caught by her bodyguard. You’re lucky that I still can think straight and not settle this problem in the most cruel way that your daughter deserves. She makes me angry to the point that I don’t want to see her shadow. Krystal dared to hurt my fiancé that I protected with all my life. I never put her life in danger, I never let her hurt and I don’t want to see her crying in pain but your daughter is trying to do something that I don’t want to do. Krystal challenged me. She’s touching the precious gem that I secured all this while so she deserves the worst. I swear, I’ll let her regret what she had done to Irene and once she’s out of prison someday, I’ll make sure she not exist in this country”

Not only Irene but everyone in awe hearing Seulgi’s words. They can see how much he loves his fiancé through his words and actions that they witness every day. Seulgi will do anything to make Irene feel safe with him and make her happy

“Do you think you can do as you wanted?” Mr. Jung showing an evil smile. Seem like he’s not affected by what Seulgi just said

“You also think you can do as you want? No sir, you’ll not play with money this time. For your information, Youngmin Law Firm is currently working on criminal cases that you and your company are involved in including the bribe that you give to authority for your own sake. The truth will be revealed soon and you’ll see your company fall to the ground. What I said to you in your office back then is not just a warning but I give hint so that you ready to lose what you have now” Seulgi smile sideway while Mr. Jung speechless

“You can’t do that to me. You know nothing about law and Attorney Park won’t find anything about me” Mr. Jung voice shaking. It obviously heard even he try to cover it

Seulgi shrugs “If she’s alone maybe she can’t find it but we have ultimate weapon”

“Who?”

“Me” an unfamiliar voice speak behind Mr. Jung make him turn around

“Who are you?”

“Vincenzo Cassano, law advisor of KS Group” the guy introduce himself with smirk

“You’re not Korean. You can’t practice your skill here”

“Attorney Park Minyoung will represent KS and I will assist her”

“Let see what you can do” Mr. Jung say arrogantly

“Let see if you can escape from law this time” say the Korean Italian guy who introduce himself as Vincenzo

“Well Mr. Attorney, can we begin the game now?” Seulgi asking

“Yes, we may start now” Vincenzo reply with smile

Few minutes later, Mr. Jung's phone rang. He answered it then his reaction changed. He looked shocked upon hearing the news that police had come to search his company and confiscate company files. He harshly shove his phone into his pocket and glare at Seulgi

“This must be your plan, right?” he pointed his finger to Seulgi

“I don’t know. Ask Mr. Cassano”

The Italian lawyer stand beside Seulgi “The game just begin so let’s enjoy it”

“Bastard!” Mr. Jung gritted his teeth and leave the building

Seulgi and Vincenzo shake hand “He must be shaking right now because you successfully break into his fortress” he said

“Yup, I waited for this day too long. We just sit back and relax. Wait until the next episode. Only open our mouth when needed”

“I got it, hyung” Seulgi nods obediently

“Seul, are you also involved in the other case?” Seungwan ask curiously

“No, it has nothing to do with me. I am only involved in Krystal case while the rest, I am only the audience even though it’s me who wants Vin hyung to investigate Babel and reveal their dirty moves. If Krystal not move this far, I’ll not do this but she force me”

“Okay then”

“Let’s grab coffee and catch up” Seulgi suggest

“Good idea” three of them leave the building

……………..

Tonight Irene sleepovers at Seulgi’s house. She demanded an explanation from her fiancé regarding the chaos at the office this morning. Right now they laze on the bed after change to pajama

“Now spill the tea” say Irene

Seulgi leaned against the headboard “Everything happens when your mom is still in hospital. That day, your bodyguard called me and informed me that they caught two men trying to break into your apartment unit. Thankfully they found those two culprits early before they created damage in your place. We interrogate them because I know there actually is someone who pays them to do it. Your apartment complex is safe. There is no trespassing or any crime ever happening in that area so those guys are professional and the plan arranged well. At first they don’t want to say anything but I’m forcing them until they open their mouths and say that their boss is Krystal Jung. Then my bodyguard took them to the police station. Vincenzo hyung handles them and digs out every information regarding Krystal's plan to kidnap you. Once police have solid prove, they detain Krystal in her office that’s why Mr. Jung create chaos this morning”

“Why didn't you tell me about the men who tried to enter my house?”

“That time you guys still worry about eomma. I don’t want to add to your burden so I keep it a secret for a while. I’m sorry, Hyun”

Irene sighs softly “It’s okay, I’m not angry. I’m thankful that nothing bad happened. I don’t see any damage at home. Do they manage to enter or not?”

“According to Ms. Oh, they caught those jerks when they tried to open the door. Thanks to Ms. Kim and Ms. Jung who just returned from the store and saw those guys. They immediately take action and turn them down”

“No wonder I don’t see any damage so we don't suspect anything. All of us are still clueless until now. By the way, who is that Italian man? He look unfamiliar” Irene face full of invisible question mark

Seulgi chuckle “He is consigliere”

Irene’s forehead creased “What is that?”

“Mafia lawyer”

“What?!” Irene gasped

“He is mafia lawyer from Italy”

“He is a mafia? Is he dangerous? Usually mafia on TV are dangerous and kill people” Irene speaks with her eyes open wider than usual. She look so innocent that Seulgi can’t help but pinch her cheek

He’s laughing seeing Irene reaction “No honey, he not involve in mafia activity. He only a law advisor to their boss. He not involve in mafia anymore now after met his girlfriend. Vin hyung is a kind man. We met by coincidence and that makes us close until now. He looked cold and snobbish but actually warm person”

“I noticed that his feature is Asian, not a foreigner”
