Mayor Bai's trial was private. It was not until later that evening that the public got his sentence. He was charged with multiple offenses, but due to his influence, he paid a hefty amount to not be jailed and instead do community work. He was removed from office and someone else took over for him until re-election.
Lena procrastinated at work, watching the broadcast. And then, she left early to go home. She finally started texting Kris again after the 24-hour break. Lena planned to deliver him dinner for a few more days... and then go on a 72 hours strike and then ask him out on Sunday. By then, he would miss her so much he has to say yes, right?
Lena squealed as she brought her grocery bags into her house. She started cooking the dinner since she will be making on for Collin too. Lena has to make it for someone else too so it does not look so weird that she was just bringing Kris food. It would be too obvious.
So just to clarify from last chapter
Li Jun x Li Bai (Madam Li) = Kris Li
Chen Xu x Madam Yang = Gary Chen
Drew Yang x Madam Yang = Andy Yang
Zhao Lin x Madam Zhao = Ming Zhao
Zhao Lin x ???? = Mike Zhao
This is the ugly affair of the upper world.
