"But do you think you can win the suit if an ordinary lawyer represents you?" Jungkook refuted calmly.

"We won't know until we try. Even though I was too forceful, I acted out of self-defense. It's not a big deal. Also, that Taecyeon was only frightened and the injury wasn't serious, they will at most detain me for a while, or make me pay some money."

"Doll," Jungkook suddenly said.

"Yeah?"

"You're smart, so stop fooling yourself. If you can't even convince yourself, how can you convince me?"

"I..." Lisa bit her lips; she didn't expect Jungkook to see through her immediately.

"Who's the heartless one here? You're the one going to prison, and you threatened me to not use JC's legal team."

"Um..."

"I'm the kettle, you're the pot, and you're calling me black." Jungkook smiled.

After some more chit-chat, Lisa became sleepy and soon fell into deep sleep...

Jungkook lowered his head and kissed her lovingly on the forehead.

"Don't worry, as long as I'm here, no one will be able to hurt you." His voice was charming, like a magic spell.

A week flew by; Lisa requested for a day off from South Side in preparation for the court date.

The hearing was scheduled for 9 AM, so Lisa got up at 7:30 AM.

She took a shower and washed her hair. Then, she chose a red blazer and black suit pants from her closet, along with a black shirt, giving an elegant feeling.

Most importantly, Lisa thought that red was a lucky color and hoped that everything would turn out fine today.

She let her hair fall on her back, till her waist and put on a tiny bit of makeup. She looked like a white-collar, ready for work.

When she arrived downstairs for breakfast, Jungkook looked at her with a slight shock in his eyes.

He knew his Lisa was pretty to begin with, but when she had makeup on, her beauty was uncomparable. Even international superstars would seem plain in front of his wife.

"You seem to be in a good mood today."

"Of course, I can't lose morale. I heard that wearing red is lucky, so I'm really hoping that today will go well." Lisa picked up a glass of milk and drank it.

"It will."

"Definitely don't come to court today, okay?"

"I know."

"The lawyer..."

"I found a lawyer for you, and he'll arrive at court on time. Don't worry, he's not from JC," Jungkook hastily added in the end.

"Thanks, " Lisa smiled at him sweetly.

She was extremely satisfied with Jungkook's arrangements...

She was afraid that if too many people showed up at court and Jungkook went, he would suffer from rumors because of her.

Human beings were weird; Lisa didn't care about what others said about her, no matter how disgusting their words were.

However, she couldn't stand others talking crap about Jungkook, that was something she couldn't tolerate at all, feeling as if she was also wronged by the whole world....

Plus, she didn't want Jungkook to see her at her lowest...

She didn't have much of a chance of winning this time. If it weren't for Jungkook's help, she couldn't even imagine what things might've come to.
