Winter just sat silently, not knowing what to do. She had thought his unusually disheveled appearance today was strange, but... she also felt somewhat uneasy.
Winter had heard rumors about Hugo's mother circulating in Seolbeop several times. People gossiped so much that Winter couldn't help but learn about it even if she didn't want to.
Hugo's mother, Attorney Seraphina Han, was the eldest daughter of the Snow Flower clan, which once formed the two pillars of South Korea's legal world along with Seolbeop. She was also known as a talented individual famous for her dazzlingly beautiful appearance and excellent litigation skills.
The news of Seraphina's marriage to Justin Kang, the only son of CEO Maximus Kang, became famous as a union between royal families and stirred up the entire legal community for a while.
