Breaking Up Is Better Than Divorce

litigation and litigation

– I think you were right.

Around two months of living in seclusion, I heard from my father that the company had become difficult.

– Right after you left for the US, you asked for an increase in production. I didn’t like it, but I couldn’t refuse it as easily as you said. It was only by bringing a large amount of raw materials and stacking them up that I could understand. But suddenly, if you take the product this time, it’s all defective.

“So?”

– Something is strange. It is certain that the product we delivered is correct, but not this one. Moreover, there are some dogs that are not ours no matter how much you look at them.

As expected, Daeyang Heavy Industries was trying to put his father’s company in a corner by using all sorts of tactics.

What happened in the past is repeating itself.

It was only a few years from the last time, but it just came a lot sooner.

Well, I thought it would.

Find out who her man is, find out what kind of man he is, and just as he predicted.

Moreover, the moment she declared the breakup, she was even more convinced by the way she stared at her with poisonous eyes.

But it doesn’t seem like it’s just the timing.

– The product we delivered this time had too many defects, so the construction of the ordered ship was delayed, so we filed a claim for damages. What is 100 billion won?

Much more radical than the last time.

You, of course, will know that this is a nonsensical lawsuit.

However, the cost of the lawsuit alone was enough to make him tired of it.

Father and younger brother are preparing their own countermeasures, but it doesn’t seem easy.

– I’m looking for a lawyer first. But the savings bank is asking you to repay the loan. It seems that it will not be easy to pay the costs of litigation.

“There is a lawyer I know. He’s a pretty capable and reasonable person, so he’ll take the case at a reasonable cost.”

He is the same person who served as a lawyer in his last life.

It wasn’t all thanks to the lawyer that he won all three trials against Daeyang Heavy Industries, but it was reliable.

– okay? I get it. Let’s meet once.

There is no power in the father’s voice.

Even though he knows it’s not his fault, it’s natural to feel discouraged when he sees an unreasonable amount of 100 billion.

“Hundreds of billions of dollars are for slander. I have no intention of winning with it anyway. They’re trying to pressure us to put our tails down.”

– It’s not that I don’t know. But when you put such pressure on savings banks, things are not going well.

No matter how much it was, I had no choice but to start with the costs of litigation.

The cash flow was not good as the guys brought raw materials in large quantities and took the cost of the materials.

As he was already getting a loan from a savings bank, he put not only the factory site, but also the house he had lived in for a long time as collateral.

Now, it is almost impossible to get a loan from a normal financial sector, and it seems that you have to start with the immediate operating funds through an acquaintance.

“I recently moved in after taking out the rent for the newlyweds last time. I’ll send it to you first.”

– How are you going to use it?

“After all, you got help from your father.”

Even after putting most of the money I had raised so far to build the house, I had received less than half of the money.

– If you spend it, there’s no guarantee you’ll get it back. just have a good one

“Do not worry. Actually, I have something to tell you.”

Now it seemed like it could be revealed about the lottery.

“While I was here, I won the Mega Millions.”

– What was Mega Millions?

Maybe it was because he didn’t really remember or because he wasn’t in a good mood, his father didn’t understand right away.

“It’s an American lottery.”

– Lotto? Yeah, that’s good. Have a good one too. Don’t waste your money saying you’re helping me. Think of it as your prop and hold on to it.

My father never thought that he would have been number one.

“It might be the right support. There are so many that you don’t even have to worry about the cost of litigation. There are so many.”

– okay? Doesn’t that mean you’re number 1?

My father’s voice trembled.

“That rumor is real.”

– What? Are you really winning the lottery? that is great! Don’t use it carelessly, have it. Because I don’t think it will be of much help to you in the future.

It seems that the father still has no intention of asking for help.

“It’s a lot of money to just have.”

– Yeah, that’s good. Anyway, don’t tell anyone else. We’ll be silent too.

My father did not ask me how much the winnings were until the end.

“I think that would be difficult. When I win, I reveal my identity and take a picture.”

-Is that so… flies will stick pretty well.

“I can’t help it. So I think it will be difficult to enter Korea for a while.”

– okay. Then you will know

“Oh yeah. The winnings are $490 million. If you get it as a lump sum payment after tax, it’s about 200 billion won.”

– Two thousand? Cool!

It was a little fun to see the serious father startled.

“yes. Two hundred billion won.”

– Are you kidding me?

“When I go to check the winnings, I take photos and do interviews lightly, so it will be known in Korea soon.”

– Huh······ Heh······ Heh heh······.

It looks like he hasn’t escaped the shock yet.

“So, don’t worry about litigation with Daeyang Heavy Industries. In the future, I will bear all the costs of the lawsuit. And he thinks about what he wants to do in the future. Whether you want to keep running the company or start a new business, take a break for a while and refresh yourself.”

– uh? Uh oh… I’m so startled right now that I haven’t calmed down yet. Anyway, that’s how you know.

It seems that his father was ready to accept the costs of the lawsuit.

“It’s not like you can get a prize right away. It will take at least two months. So, spend that money first. I left the card with Yoosung. I don’t know what might happen. You can also ask Yoosung for the password. You don’t have to worry about money anymore anyway, so don’t spare it and spend it when you need it.”

– Thank you.

Father’s voice was muffled.

Yoosung felt that this was somehow his fault, and even though he comforted him, he was not comfortable.

maybe it could have been stopped.

But he didn’t intentionally stop it.

I didn’t go to check my winnings for two months, waiting for them to attack first.

If by any chance they found out that such a large sum had come into Seongjin Industrial, they would have changed their methods, and if so, it would not have been easy for Yoosung to come up with a countermeasure.

Because of that, I held my breath and waited in this distant land.

Even if I wait two more months, if the guys don’t show any signs of that, I was going to quietly receive them without revealing their identity.

California is a state that must reveal the identity of lottery winners, but if you don’t want to, there’s no way.

It just costs a little.

The next day, when I called my father again, I signed a contract with the lawyer Eugene said about.

After seeing the outline of the lawsuit, he said he was sure of victory.

He also recommended that a counter-litigation be filed.

However, he did not forget to say that even if he wins, there will be no profit.

The lawsuit will continue for a very long time, and in the meantime, Sungjin Industrial will have a hard time operating.

I knew it, but the lawyer told me that first, so I was more confident.

– Oh yeah. But the warden has flew to you.

It sounded like a thunderbolt.

“From whom?”

It was so sudden that when I returned to the past, I was surprised for the first time.

– That kid.

“yes? ah!”

– The day before the wedding, the marriage was unilaterally declared, so it is written that the damage to property and mental damage was severe, so that they were claiming compensation for damages. It’s so creepy. In the end, it’s like putting together in a time like this…

He almost answered, “That’s right…

But he had no intention of putting more burdens on his father.

“All right. Then give it to the warden, Yooseong. They tell me to take it to the nearest lawyer and respond.”

– Any lawyer?

“yes. Any lawyers?”

No need to use an expensive lawyer for such a piece of cake….

not. It’s not that I don’t have money, it’s just that I’m out of luck.

“no. Let’s think about it. I’ll call you tomorrow.”

One more fun thing happened.

It seems they are trying to dig a deeper and deeper hole over there.

They would have wanted to cause as much pain to the Eugene family as possible.

It might have worked out the way they wanted it to, but now it remains to be seen who will be buried in the pit they dug.

Eugene found a very expensive law firm the next day.

It is one of the top four law firms.

Wouldn’t it be great to use a lawyer from a great law firm over there anyway?

So, it needed someone suitable for it, too.

I called directly and was introduced to a competent partner attorney.

– Are you talking about compensation for breaking the engagement? Until something like that…

At first, it was a rude attitude.

However.

“Don’t worry about the cost of litigation, get a lawyer.”

– yes? Counsel for divorce proceedings?

It was an absurd voice.

– In the case of divorce proceedings, the alimony will not exceed 40 million won, even in the worst case. I don’t know if you know.

“I know. I know that alimony comes only when there is perverted s*xual activity or illegal activity.”

– Have you ever done anything like that?

“you’re welcome. I am rather a victim. And we have evidence to prove it.”

– By the way, can I ask why you need an attorney?

He looks like a pretty old lawyer, but he was very polite nonetheless.

“I want to have fun.”

– Well. Are you saying there is something wrong with it? For example, do you make hot issues?

He’s a smart guy, so he’s quick-witted.

“What. There are things like that.”

– To be honest, I want to dry it. In the end, it will only end up hurting each other.

I thought that all the lawyers only revealed money, but they were more common sense lawyers than I expected.

– But if you really want to, let’s have a cool game somewhere. Please tell us your budget and we will prepare it for you.

It wasn’t.

It seems that the first words were just words.

There was also a hint of joy.

“Didn’t you say you wanted to dry it?”

– That’s what I said as a human, Hong-seop Jang, and lawyer Hong-seop Jang is ready to jump into the fire of hell for the benefit of his clients.

“You are a wonderful person. But when it comes to customization, what are you talking about?”

– What. Korea can make a lot of noise. Of course it is quite expensive. haha!

“It’s good. Then let’s discuss it.”

He’s my favorite lawyer.

After finishing the call, Eugene contacted the lawyer who defended her father’s company again.

– I heard you. If you’re going to be the eldest.

“Yes. I have a few requests for you. And about the fees.”

– Fees have been made as convenient as possible.

“no. Our demand is the opposite. Isn’t it quite difficult to take on a lawsuit against a large company by yourself? So, if you need it, you can use the manpower as much as you want. You can hire another lawyer, or you can find a lawyer you can work with. I will delegate all authority. And I will pay the fee accordingly.”

– haha. The original lawyer’s fee is an earring.

“Let’s do the math right. we.”

I’m not saying that you’re just going to increase your fees out of feelings. This means that you should devote enough time to your case.

Like the divorce alimony lawsuit, this one was meant to create a commotion.

He spent several days consulting with lawyers and coordinating with his father.

Now it’s time to go claim your winnings.

On Monday morning, Eugene went to a large law firm in downtown LA that she had searched for in advance and asked to accompany her.

“If you don’t want to reveal your identity, you can create an LLC (Limited Liability Company) and file a claim in the company name. Instead, you may end up paying a little more in taxes.”

A lawyer will teach you how to hide your identity.

Although he added that a little bit would be around billions of won.

“You don’t have to.”

If he wanted to hide his identity, he would have gone to a state where he could from the start and bought a lottery ticket.

Eugene immediately went to the California Lottery with a lawyer to announce the winnings.

After verifying my identity and filling out the paperwork, I grabbed a large paper panel with the winning amount written on it, and took a picture with a pleasant smile.

That day, somehow, my heart was pounding all day.

What. Is it normal?

As soon as you enter the hotel room, you feel calm.

Now it’s really just the beginning…

I ordered room service that day and ate quietly in the room.

It was the most exciting day since the day I went back and divorced.

Eugene could feel vividly that he was alive now.
