Choi Ji-Yung's face turned white beyond pale at my request to reveal the hidden truth about her divorce.1

"Just a moment."0

Choi Ji-Yung set down her coffee which she had been enjoying and started staring intently at me. The previously gentle atmosphere had vanished and been replaced by a tight tension as if walking on thin ice.0

Choi Ji-Yung exuded the aura of her prime but I didn't back down and continued to meet her gaze and asked, "Ms. Choi, do you intend to just take this lying down?"0

Choi Ji-Yung snorted in disbelief. "Even if I do reveal the truth as you say, people will see me as a woman fooled by a 25-year-old. I'd rather bite my tongue!"0
