Chapter 226: The Card to Block the Big Deal

Fwip.

Tak-hyeon threw the newspaper at Sang-jong and Jeong-eun, who sat with their heads bowed.

The paper, after striking the two in the face and dropping, had their story printed across it in large letters.

[Ilhyeon Construction President Sang-jong Lee and Ilhyeon Securities President Jeong-eun Lee Come to Blows in Front of the Prosecutors' Office]

[A blood-feud between brother and sister played out at the prosecutors' office, leaving everyone present aghast]

"Have you two lost your minds!"

Tak-hyeon shouted at the pair, who still couldn't raise their heads.
