The Love That Remains

Chapter 62: You have my sympathy



"I am a Black Witch."

I repeat my words to the audience. My father-in-law looks at me solemnly, but I know that storms are raging in his head. He wants to deal with me just like my previous life. I have other plans for him.

He manipulated Sung Jun for twelve years. He took away my child. He killed me in the end. I had to suffer so much because he labeled me 'evil'.

I thought about killing him. But then, he is Sung Jun's father. Killing a person like this is too easy anyway. How can I let him have an easy life?

Because of the spell, I can already feel the repercussions in my body. Sung Jun's spiritual blanket is adding to my pain. My body feels like being wrapped with a blanket of thorns. I don't want to fall now. I will not show them my weakness. I have to talk to Sung Jun later.

"You have misused your powers. You have harmed the council's man." He glances at the leader of the black-uniformed men. The leader is lying on the ground, unconscious and blue. He is alive, but the spell might have harmed a bit. It was nothing that the council couldn't handle.

"President Sung, you are mistaken." Sung Jun walks in front of me. "It's not Fang Aisa who hurt the council's people. It's the council that overstepped its boundaries and hurt her."

I frown at Sung Jun. I can fight my own battle. He doesn't have to interfere. He winks at me when he notices my stare, gesturing me to stay quiet with his finger. I roll my eyes at him.

"Sung Jun, who are you to question the council?" Sung Ki-Woong loses his composure. His eyes betray his emotions.

"I am her lawyer." Sung Jun blinks in mock surprise. "I am her husband. Don't tell me that you already forgot this, President Sung?"

He is his son, right? I can't help but look at Ms. Sung. She gives me a smile and nods to confirm when she finds me looking in her direction.

"..." Please don't read my mind that easily.

"I know that you are her..." Sung Ki-Woong purses his lips tightly before opening them again. I see that he even find it disgusting to say the word 'husband'. This is good.

"President Sung, do you know the punishment of offending a God's representative? How is the council going to answer for this mistake? Your enforcers tried to harm her." Sung Jun throws a pointed look at the guests. "Some of you have even slandered a god's representative. The president of the council and the other councilmen heard and saw, but they took no action. Do you know the punishment?"

With his every word, I saw Sung Ki-Woong's face color changing from green to blue to purple. I couldn't help but chuckle.

"The council has no responsibility," He tells Sung Jun. "She didn't inform the council that she is a god's representative. She didn't even enlist herself as a black witch. The gods are fair. How is it council's fault?"

Sung Jun gives him a smile that is not a smile. He takes out a card from his pocket and shows it to his father. "She registered herself. On the day we informed about our marriage to the council, she has also informed and registered herself as a member of the supernatural community. Earlier today, she has also informed the council in written words that she is a black witch and a God's representative after receiving approval from her contracted god."

Sung Jun hasn't given the card to his father, but his father can see and read the words on the card clearly. It's a violet card with silver letters to represent her extraordinary status. Sung Ki-Woong didn't have any idea. Usually, information like this has to get his approval first. If he had any idea that Fang Aisa is a God's representative, he would have never treated her this way.

"This is fake." He mumbles and tries to snatch the card. But Sung Jun is fast and moves his hand away.

"Park Inha!" He calls out. Park Inha stands up and walks to him.

"Is it take?" He shows the card to Park Inha.

She takes the card and looks at it carefully. "This isn't fake."

"You...did this." Sung Ki-Woong yells at Park Inha. "You hid this information away from me."

Park Inha shows confusion on her face. "President, you signed her documents yourself. You already knew that she is the god's representative. Didn't you plan this party after seeing her status?"

"....." I am speechless. I can see that Sung Ki-Woong's expressions are real. He had no idea. Did Sung Jun scam his father? I see the light smile on his lips. The same almost smile. One before the victory.

He scammed his father. Just like me. He must have found some way...

"You are my assistant, Park Inha." Sung Ki-Woong's tone is threatening. "You never told me that those papers were for the registration of an S-class member."

"President, you were busy on the phone. So, I didn't disturb you and put the papers on the table. You just signed and gave them back to me. You didn't ask me any question." Park Inha frowns. "I thought that you read the papers. How come you sign anything without reading?"

"I thought that those were the documents related to the construction of the new academy branch."

I sigh. Park Inha helped Sung Jun in fooling his father, the president of the council. Just like me.

You have my sympathy, Father-in-law. Your son also fooled me and got me married to him. I had no idea.
