Chapter 925 – #97. Lanna (85)
“How can you not do this? Did you put a lie on your resume? I don’t know if I should report it for forgery.”
“Aren’t you saying too harshly? You may not know, but you can’t attack me personally. If you’re here to do something, you have to do it. Why are you trying to fight me?”
“I came here to work for money, but I am doing this because I am not doing my job. If you say things like this even though you are doing a good job, then there is something wrong with my personality.”
“You may not be able to do the job. It’s because you’re not used to it. Over time, if you get used to it, I’ll know how to do it too!”
“Then you have to work hard. If there is something you cannot do, you have to show the will to learn! But what are you doing right now? Fictitiously, you rummage through social media, and you show your displeasure by saying that if you do a little work, you will be spoiled. You gossip about us. Do you know that you don’t know?”
The life of an office worker was much harder than I imagined.
I had no idea that the company I had worked so hard for was such a bad fit for me.
“It’s because the work I’m entrusted with sucks! They tell me to print it out, and they tell me to buy coffee! I’m here to use my knowledge to do the job, not to leave you guys behind.”
“Wasn’t it so embarrassing to ask for my coffee just because it’s a coffee shop? Usually, new recruits basically do all of those things. You can’t entrust an important job to a new recruit who doesn’t know anything!”
I am shocked and my mind is dizzy.
She lived in a rich family and was worshiped as the lady of her family.
Where have you heard such nasty words?
I wanted to run out of here right away, but I couldn’t.
I just got a job at the company, so I couldn’t go out in vain like this.
“I’m not going to run these meaningless, annoying errands.”
“He has the worst social life. What the hell did he learn in his school days?”
“When I was in school, no one dared to raise their voice at me.”
“How dare you…? What are you doing?”
“…The people around me are people with outstanding personalities.
To be precise, they were people who were good at figuring out their subjects.
Among her friends, she was a ‘princess’ that she did not dare to rebel against.
“Because I’m a rookie, I’m willing to put up with this kind of unfair treatment. In the future, I will sue for personal insults. Please be careful.”
“Under!”
I heard that social life is very difficult, but when I actually experienced it, it was more arduous than I could have imagined.
If I had gone straight to my mother’s company, this wouldn’t have happened.
Everyone wanted to look good on me, so I would have bought a coffee and served it.
As soon as I entered, I would have learned and worked on the main tasks of the company, and I would have spent much more valuable time than I do now.
The money that had been scammed by the scammers all over again was worth it to the point of shedding tears of blood.
The problem didn’t end there.
“The price of the card…Why did it come out so much?
There was too much money going out.
I don’t use much, but I already had a habit of spending it, so it wasn’t easy to reduce it.
In the first place, she had never worried about paying for her card.
Caring about her worries, which she had never done before, was very stressful for her.
‘Even if I only had the amount I was scammed for…!’
It was the same with her brother.
Far from helping, he is one of the causes of making a big hole in the household.
“Why did you use so many cards? How did you use this without a plan?!”
“I bought a painting tool! I have to draw a picture, but I can’t stay still!”
“I heard that you can’t sell that painting. What are you doing with it?
“Sister, why are you so picky? I can’t get used to doing this to me.”
“I’m not doing this because I don’t have money! I don’t have money to pay for my credit card this month.”
“Have you run out of money? So what?”
“…As a last resort, either sell your paintings or sell your babies.”
“They can’t do it!!! How did I collect them!!!”
The reason why I couldn’t pay for the credit card was because I bought luxury goods with that money.
Of course, the usual spending is also big.
Since they were young, they couldn’t afford luxury items, so it was clear that if they sold them, they would be able to find more than enough money to pay for their credit cards.
“I’d rather ask my friends to buy me a painting. One of my friends is a curator. If you ask him, he’ll buy you a few pieces.”
Her brother quickly changed her attitude by saying that he would try to sell the painting.
Although she still seemed to be out of her mind, she decided to take care of it to this extent.
“If you sell the paintings, I’ll take you to a restaurant with your salary next month. Your favorite place.”
“Really? Wow! I love it.”
“If you don’t want to sell your babies, who are like your life, spend less in the future.”
“…”
“As you said, we have no choice but to live by ourselves. Things are different from before. We have to adapt. Huh?”
“Okay. I’ll do as you say.”
The sisters who decided to adapt to the bitter reality were gradually adapting to the reality.
That is, if the mysterious being hadn’t touched the two sisters.
♧ ♧ ♧
Her brother was taken by the police.
The charge is money laundering.
She wanted to hear what happened, but her brother was being investigated in connection with her mother’s situation.
“My kid is not a kid who can get tangled up in that. He’s a naive kid who doesn’t know anything!”
I hired a lawyer and tried to figure out what was going on.
“Hmm…The situation is a bit complicated. Looking at it, it seems correct that he was involved in money laundering. He sold the painting at an excessively high price, and then laundered and returned the rest of the money after deducting taxes.”
“If he was that smart, he wouldn’t talk. He’s not competent enough to engage in such a crime. Someone must have used him.”
“First of all, I don’t think I can go to the wrong side because my picture was directly used for money laundering and the fact that I deposited money directly. The evidence of involvement is too clear.”
The reason I didn’t find it strange was because it was so hard to adapt to the company I worked for.
After working at the company all day, she was tired and had no time to deal with her brother.
So I didn’t know.
It means that her younger brother can’t easily reduce her spending and does odd things.
“So you’re saying there’s no way out?”
“Yes. Looking at the defenseless evidence left behind, it seems that it was right that they were used by the gang. The quality is poor. Seeing that they didn’t even try to protect it while using it, they must have intended to use it moderately and then deal with it.”
Fast-
Teeth are grinding
Who the hell did this to my brother?
“I will never leave you alone!”
If her brother had to face the crime, she thought that she should catch all the things related to this incident and make them pay for the crime together.
“Unfortunately, there is no way.”
“No way?”
“The perpetrators involved have already disappeared. The only thing left is the client, but he doesn’t know anything. He has to climb up on those connected to him as clues…”
I don’t know anything, so I have nothing to rob.
“Stupid…!!!”
Stop being scammed and live!
It’s already happened to me once, so shouldn’t I be careful?
“I’ll have to see my brother. I’ll have to go and listen to him firsthand and find out for sure how the hell he got involved in this.”
Moved with a lawyer to meet her brother.
As soon as her brother saw her face, she burst into tears, telling her how frightened she was and all she knew about being betrayed by her friend.
“Why isn’t the friend who introduced him to you arrested?
“He said he didn’t know he was a person who did such a thing. The only thing he introduced me to in the first place was because he asked me to buy a painting.”
She said she couldn’t hold the friend because she was clean and had no evidence of any connection to them.
Even a little investigation of her brother had yielded evidence one after another.
“Why the hell did you do that?”
“My sister said she was selling pictures!
Her behind-the-scenes talk is done by lowering her voice so that only she can hear it.
It means you are right to know that this is a crime.
“It was okay because she’s a mother!! Those people just took advantage of you and ran away!”
“Then what should I do? Do I have to go to prison? Save me, unnie! I will never survive in such a rough place!”
She fainted and put the palm of her hand to her throbbing forehead.
She will try her best, but as the lawyer said, it seems difficult to avoid her punishment.
“How can this mild-mannered kid survive in a place like that…”
“Sister…! I was wrong. I’m reflecting!”
“The fines will be pretty hefty. You’ll need to act wisely to reduce your sentence.”
“You mean you need to show an effort to pay the fine?”
“I didn’t mean to make money with bad intentions, I just accepted it because I was offered to pay more for the painting, but I have to say I didn’t know it was a bad thing. I didn’t pay taxes, so I was fooled. Did you do as I advised you? I’ll say it when I’m with my lawyer.”
Her brother bit her lip and looked impatient.
“Yes, but when I was first brought here, I was scared and told everything I knew.”
“Ah… Did you say you participated in it even though you knew it was a crime?”
“I don’t remember very well. I can’t remember what I said. I was so embarrassed and scared then…”
“Then reverse it. I’ve never been like that. If I did, I was embarrassed by a situation I’d never experienced before and did as I was told. Like this.”
“Could that just reduce the sentence a lot?”
“If you believe in me and follow me well, I think it’s possible.”
He was an expensive lawyer.
She didn’t like the lawyer who suggested that she go to reduce her brother’s sentence as much as possible.
“Is it really necessary to serve the sentence? Can’t it be fined and probated? This guy was just taken advantage of. I think I can get over it if I do my best, but the lawyer insisted on reducing the sentence unconditionally, so I don’t feel good. Competent person I heard that, but it’s disappointing.”
