Silence reigned as the judge returned to the bench, holding the final decision.
"All evidence has been examined," he began. "And based on the verified last will and financial records… this court finds in favor of Seo Hana."
The courtroom erupted.
Mi-Ho leaned in close to Hana. "You did it."
Tears welled in Hana's eyes, but she held her head high. "No. We did it."
The three men stood frozen—wealth stripped, reputations shattered. Security began escorting them out, and not a single soul stood to defend them.
The cameras zoomed in on Hana, the once voiceless girl who now stood at the top.
"I was sold like property," she said in a press briefing, her voice steady. "But today, I reclaimed my name… and my future."
Mi-Ra clasped her shoulder. "Now what, CEO Seo?"
A slow smile crept across Hana's lips. "Now? We build something better."
