Chapter 9
In the following days, Charn did everything to take good care of Kimhan's case. He spent most of his time in in his office, while Tinn seemed to have lost all hopes to make his husband change his mind about his new client. The young lawyer knew that he had to be really careful, it was a simple case, but he wasn't going to fight it in court, it was already a scandal, but just as he knew how to create a scandal, he also knew how to fight one.
A few days after the meeting at the Theerapanyakul mansion, while working in his office, Charn received a message from Tinn. At first he didn't read it, since the preview of the message showed that it wasn't urgent. When he was ready to have a break, he picked his phone, sank deeper in his armchair and opened the link sent by his lovely husband.
"The recent case of alleged legitimate defense involving the famous entrepreneur Kimhan Theerapanyakul managed to divide the country: his most ferocious enemy seems to be the party formerly led by Thatthep Theethanathat, which asks for further investigation. This isn't over though, as many post claiming Kimhan's innocence are spreading recently, deeming the party untrustworthy after their leader's recent crime" Charn read out loud.
Right after he was done reading, he received another link, Tinn probably noticed that Charn was at his phone, so he was going to use that opportunity as much as he could. Charn opened the second link and started watching the video.
"This morning many protesters reached Thatthep's mansion, all of them believe that the party is just trying to use this defamatory campaign against what the protesters see as an honest businessman just to cover their last scandal. Thatthep's son, Thanthai, didn't leave the mansion, probably fearing repercussions. Everyone suspects that he actively helped his father cover his deeds, even though he was never found guilty, and some people among the protesters also claim that he may be behind this scandal in order to clean his father's name" the journalist explained in the video.
"It definitely looks like something you would do, throwing shit against the innocent one, did you do that on your own or your client asked you to do so?" Tinn wrote in the message following the second link.
Charn was incredibly irritated by that message. He was angry that his boyfriend was so ready to judge him again for his action, and at the same time, knowing that he wasn't the one behind the scandal, he wondered why Kim didn't inform him before starting this counterattack. Wherever he looked at, he could only see enemies, and his heart ached at the thought of his own lover to blame him for his actions.
What the journalist didn't know was the actual reason of Thanthai hiding in the mansion. The young guy wasn't avoiding the protesters because of a rational strategy, just like his father would have done, no, he was frightened. His boyfriend wasn't there with him, he was alone, that's why he crawled upstairs in his bedroom, hid in a corner with his eyes shut and his hands on his ears, desperately hoping for those angry voices and slogans to go away.
