The Manipulated Villainess

"Commissioner General, what are you saying?" Peter Jung asked Richard Ryu with a bewildered face.

He didn\'t understand what the Commissioner General was saying but... the fact that the Commissioner General was even here confused him more!

"What I\'m saying is that the President himself already gave his approval. What\'s more, an arrest warrant is already issued for you," the Commissioner General said to the Prime Minister. He gestured the policemen to release the Minister of Justice and they immediately complied with it.

"What you said to the Minister of Justice is heard by each one of us here. You have no way out, Peter Jung," Richard Ryu added. There was a slight smirk on his face which made the Prime Minister raised a brow.

Peter Jung darted his eyes to the door when two familiar faces appeared again. One was Carson Jun and it wasn\'t a miracle as he was the lover of Garcia Han but...

"Aston Kang?" he muttered with a confused face. Why was he here?

Aston stood beside the Commissioner General who glanced at him with a pleasant smile. "You did great, Aston. You help us finished our long-term work."

"I\'m the one who is more grateful, Uncle Richard. Thanks to your help, my father\'s name will be finally cleared," Aston quickly said. Richard Ryu was his late father\'s friend and they were neighbors when his parents were still alive. So, they had a good relationship.

Then the actor shifted his gaze to the confused Prime Minister. "You\'re surprised, right? I always hold back myself, waiting for this day, and now, it has finally come." He slightly smiled and continued, "Let me introduce myself. I\'m Aston Min, the son of Ethan Min whom you framed and killed."

When Peter Jung\'s eyes grew wide at the revelation, Aston took a step towards him. "It\'s still early to be surprised, Mr. Prime Minister. There is still more," he whispered in his ear.

Aston Kang took a step back and the Commissioner General ordered the policemen to take the Prime Minister away.

"Let go of me!" Peter Jung shouted as the police pulled him out of the room. Despite two men holding him on both sides, he still turned his head to the actor and glanced at him with rage. "Aston Kang! You will surely regret this! I promise to pay you back for this!"

Despite the endless swearing and threatening words of the Prime Minister, Aston remained unfazed. After a few seconds, Peter Jung was finally out of his sight.

Standing outside, Leon Jung was staring at his father who was dragged out of the house by the police from a distance. The moment his father was made to enter the police car, he tightly squeezed his clothes and took a deep breath.

He knew that this was bound to happen. He knew that they didn\'t share the same blood but... he still felt an excruciating pain in his heart. When the car was out of his sight, he took out his phone and called Nicole.

After learning his mother and Shara\'s location from the Chairwoman, he left for the address right away.

Meanwhile, Aston and few others were still inside the room.

"I\'m really grateful, Aston," Richard Ryu spoke up with a smile. "When Lester Yun was handed to our special team, we received a special order from the President to investigate the Prime Minister. If it wasn\'t for you, we won\'t be able to conclude the case."

"I already said not to thank me, Uncle Richard. I\'m glad enough to know that my late father will finally regain his honor," Aston said to the Commissioner General. Then his friend, Liam Ryu approached them.

"Congrats, Aston. You finally achieved your dream," Liam said to the actor with a smile.

"I owe you, Liam. Thanks for believing in me and helping me to talk to your father," Aston promptly said.

"Let\'s talk again later, Aston. I have to report the details to the Minister of Interior and Safety. Then we will meet the President," Richard Ryu said to Aston. "One more thing. The whole country will get hold of the news by morning. You are a public figure and also the son of a victim. You must be prepared."

Aston nodded. "I\'m prepared. Don\'t worry about me, Uncle Richard. Go and do your work."

The Commissioner General gently patted Aston\'s shoulder before he turned to the Minister of Justice who was standing a few steps away with Chairman Jun. Then he bowed and left with all remaining policemen.

"Let\'s meet up once things are settled," Liam promptly said to his friend and followed his father right away.

"Are you alright? Did they do anything to you?" Carson Jun quickly asked Garcia Han the moment everyone left, except Aston.

"I\'m fine," Garcia Han responded with a little smile. "I won\'t let them do anything to me."

Carson Jun smiled out of relief when he heard her response but Garcia Han\'s attention was already on Aston Kang.

"What about Nicole?" she asked.

"She\'s fine. I will inform her the news, so let\'s leave this place first," Aston replied.

"Thanks to your great plan, we finally get rid of Peter Jung. Colin Park won\'t be safe too," Garcia Han uttered.

"If you don\'t show such courage, we won\'t be able to succeed." Aston knew how dangerous it was for the Minister of Justice. She was tied to a chair and that forbids her from moving. Considering Peter Jung\'s issues with anger management, one wrong word could easily blind him and put Garcia Han\'s life in danger.

Garcia Han only forced a smile. "You should hurry and meet Nicole. She will be having a hard time."

The actor raised a brow when he heard her. "You won\'t come?"

Garcia Han shook her head. "Later. I don\'t think I\'ll be able to face her." She just proved that Peter Jung was also the one behind Zachary Yang\'s death. She was the one who perfects that demon\'s plan... How could she have the audacity to meet Nicole now?!

"I think she will wish to see you more than anyone else," Aston argued. Just through a phone call, he could sense how worried Nicole was!

"Please console her and don\'t leave her alone. I\'m not ready to meet her," Garcia Han said in a calm voice. Then she slowly walked towards the door. The two men glanced at each other and they had no choice but to follow her.

After seeing off Garcia Han and Carson Jun, Aston walked to Nathan who was still standing next to his car, waiting for him.

"I keep on owing you, Nathan. I\'m really grateful for your help," he said when he stood in front of the Reyon Boss.

"Don\'t say that. After what happened to Cassandra, you know how much I want to make Peter Jung pay. This is my business too," Nathan simply said and glanced at his watch. "It\'s already past midnight. Come, I\'ll drive you home. Nicole will be waiting."

"Will you return to the hospital?" Aston asked.

Nathan nodded. "I have something to tell Cassandra," he paused and murmured, "She might not be happy with it."

"Is something wrong?" Aston quickly asked. He finds his friend\'s words strange.

Nathan Woo forced a little smile. "You will know it tomorrow. Let\'s leave first."
