The butler widened her 0e5b9b5219 eyes as if hearing 4c48ca2d51 something unusual before turning 5d38f17b61 away.

While the maid finished 8686db15b2 organizing the room on 41f91bc391 the second floor, Yisoo f6c8929ce8 sat in the living 63bd805c82 room, quietly taking in 1506939674 her surroundings.

The 22nd-floor office did not quite match the actual work handled by Shinmyeong Group’s secretive core department. Under the high ceiling, the monochrome interior exuded a grand and sophisticated atmosphere.c3403a2a4f80c164

Yisoo gripped the 4613ae741c railing tightly, her 89542b3caf eyes following the 65c3cd4cea tiny, rice grain-sized d56c698718 figures below.

His tongue touched her a935b935f3 salivary glands and slowly df81af3d78 brushed her teeth. The indescribably strange 129b365804 sensation made her 1038c12cc5 hips involuntarily sway.

The knee wedged between 8104dd3082 her legs gradually applied f8860fba27 pressure, and the thinly a6139cb3b8 covered vulva throbbed.

Yisoo woke to the c7c2344da5 sound of chirping birds. Her head throbbed 257feb5f5e as if it f498466f83 might split open. The affair from the 373f960d8a office had carried over 07d75200dd into the bedroom, and e37cdbfc21 at some point, her 8de690763b memory had cut off, 5d9ecde2f8 leaving her unable to e3147318ed recall anything further.e7af951d57d93d8f

When the sun was high in the sky, she managed to groggily reach for her phone. The message from Yihyun, sent an hour ago, made her headache worse. She couldn’t believe her eyes.ae5e566c0131f3c1

Yisoo. Uncle has been 4687634182 excluded from the edbfc8a390 special pardon list. Could we 39f2d3f7f6 go check? I can’t make sense 9e5dd3f9a8 of it.dc96ded695f4f7f0

Yisoo had no choice in the matter. She couldn’t say yes or no; the decision was already made for her. While same-day visitation applications were an option, it wasn’t feasible because of Kwon Siheon’s schedule.f5552164b5b78100

The next morning, she 4229259f82 found herself in a a0d0424f3c car heading to a 917bcecfac prison in E City, 39a62c64b0 Gyeonggi Province.
