Seohyun was sitting in a room similar to the one Hyojin was put in. She was staring at the photos laid out before her and she was shaking. Jiwoon was towering over her with both hands on the table. She eyed the woman in front of her like a hwk, not flinching from her stance. Her usually calm demeanor was replaced by a menacing aura which was almost choking Seohyun.
"Shin Changseob," Jiwoon stated. "A man who trains animals, especially German Shepherds. Moreover, he did many odd jobs which include a stint at your husband\'s company. Is that where you met him? At Fei Pharmaceuticals?"
"I\'m not answering anything," Seohyun quivered but Jiwoon was not having any excuses.
"You don\'t have to," Jiwoon said. "Let me tell you a story."
"The story has a poor suffering female lead, a cold husband and a dashing young man who is our male lead," Jiwoon went on. "The female lead is a beautiful woman who has it all. A rich husband and a daughter. They live in a palatial home which is the envy of everyone. She had it all. Money, riches, the perfect life and luxury. Yes, she had everything...except love."
Jiwoon threw her a steely gaze. Seohyun shifted in her chair but remained silent.
"Her husband was always too busy and also had many affairs with other women," she went on. "In fact, the female lead caught him in the act many years ago and since then, they do not even share the same bed. How long has it been since you slept with your very desirable husband? One year? Two years? Or…"
Jiwoon leaned forward and whispered, "Fifteen years?"
Seohyun was still quiet, putting on a facade of dignity which Jiwoon was determined to smash.
"So a helpless housewife who is forced to watch her husband have many affairs at home while her own daughter was also becoming rowdy," Jiwoon went on. "Tell me, were you jealous of your daughter\'s active sex life?"
"What nonsense is this?" Seohyun spat. "Why would I be-"
"Your daughter was everything you wanted to be when you were younger," Jiwoon claimed. "You wanted to party and have fun! Date men and party around. However, your parents went bankrupt when you were twenty and to save their company, you entered into a loveless marriage with Song Yohan, is that right?"
"What does my marriage have got anything to do with my daughter\'s death?" Seohyun demanded.
"I\'m getting to that," Jiwoon said. "Anyways, our female lead gets more desperate. Her daughter had a new boyfriend and they were having an active sexual relationship, something which the female lead craved.
"So, one day, when the female lead goes to her husband\'s company for some work, she runs into a handsome animal trainer. That guy was brought in to train some of the dogs for the company\'s R&D wing. While he was training them, the female lead flirted a little with him. He told her that he trained animals and even invited her to his own facility where he kept quite a few animals."
"The new guy was everything our poor heroine wanted," Jiwoon went on. "He was young, handsome and oozed a raw sexual aura which was undoubtedly seducing our female lead, right? There he was, someone who could give her the pleasure she wanted."
"So our heroine dove into the pool of lust," she smirked. "It must have been a lot of fun. For the first time in years, she felt alive and rejuvenated. She was now living the life she always wanted. A double life. One which was full of luxury and the other was full of sexual pleasures. The heroine...or rather, you had it all, Yoo Seohyun."
"You\'re mad!" Seohyun claimed.
"That\'s what your daughter told you when she found out, right?" Jiwon grinned. "What else did she call you? A slut? A whore-"
"You\'re crossing the limit!" Seohyun shrieked.
"Like you did with Shin Changseob?" Jiwoon demanded. She pointed at the pictures and said, "The pictures speak for themselves. There are videos of you with your lover! Your husband had you spied on! He knew that you were having an affair and he was now looking for proof. You couldn\'t divorce him because the prenup agreement you had signed was airtight. If you divorced him, you wouldn\'t get a single penny from him and also lose custody of Rachel! She was already an adult and obviously, she would choose to live with her dad. After all, he was richer and more influential than her loser of a mom who was having an affair with another guy!"
"Yohan had many affairs too!" Seohyun shrieked. "And yet, I\'m the bad guy here? I was forced to marry him at a young age and when I gave birth to a girl instead of the boy he desired, he went off to sleep with others!"
"And in the process, you two turned your own daughter\'s life into a joke!" Jiwoon snapped. "You were always jealous of your daughter. You loved her but way too jealous of your daughter\'s independence. Rachel was free while you were stuck."
"But when she found out about your affair, she threatened to expose you!" she accused and slammed her hands on the table. Seohyun jumped, her mental state in tatters. The officer was telling the truth but she was too weak to accept it.
"And you had your daughter killed," Jiwoon concluded. "In the worst way possible. You wanted her to suffer the pain and trauma. You wanted to destroy her beauty and her pride. It was your way of taking revenge, wasn\'t it?"
Seohyun was now crying hard. "Stop it…" She moaned. "It\'s not true…"
"A selfish and sexually frustrated mother was jealous of her own daughter," Jiwoon stated. "And killed her. No, not kill. Completely destroyed her."
"NO!" Seohyun burst out. "It wasn\'t me! I didn\'t kill her! I...I\'ll tell you what happened on the night of the party."
She took a deep breath and began to narrate her tale. "Last month, Rachel spotted me and Changseob kissing outside a cafe. She took our pictures and threatened me with them…"
