Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 39: Getting Even

After returning to the manor, Hyewon and Minjung ran out and greeted Jooeun as they excitedly held onto her arm. Jooeun simply laughed. She isn't going to disappoint their expectations, especially not the man that thoughtfully helped her so much.

Minjung noticed Jooeun's gaze is focused on the man sitting on the sofa flipping through documents. She smiled cheekily as she pushed Jooeun towards him. "We won't be light bulbs anymore, hurry over and keep him company!"

After speaking, Minjung and Hyewon return to their own respective rooms. However, not long after, Minjung ran back out holding her phone towards Jooeun helplessly. "Yonghwa is calling, do you want to pick up?"

Jooeun took a quick glance at Jeonghwan before she nodded, grabbing the phone from Minjung's hands.

"Jooeun, since the magazine has decided not to use you, you should return home first. There's no point for you to stay in the US. Don't blame my sister for being ruthless, she did it for the sake of CN. The magazine isn't happy with you, so you don't have the right to blame anyone." Yonghwa said, speaking like everything he and his sister did was right.

"After using me, you kicked me aside. Now you want me to gladly accept all this?" Jooeun's tone is calm but contains a slight sense of ridicule.

"Why won't you give up? Why must you go against Shinhye? Why can't you just let us off?" Yonghwa asked impatiently. Jooeun felt like a piece of heavy and annoying baggage that he's desperate to get rid of, but she just kept following him around.

"There is no reason for me to let despicable people off!" Jooeun's tone is firm. "I know how the industry is like. Today Shinhye has a backup, so she is capable of stepping all over me and is using me to benefit herself. But that doesn't mean she will still be this fortunate tomorrow."

"You already have no chance, just let it go! The fact that I love Shinhye, is not her fault. My sister is right, you indeed do not have any tolerance."

Jooeun suddenly clenched her left fist. Sensing the change in her emotions, Jeonghwan reached out his comforting palm and pulled her into his warm embrace.

Yonghwa is indeed a heartless person. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to treat Jooeun this way. He took her love and destroyed her career, now he wanted her to support his new relationship – he was practically draining her of everything she had.

"Your selfishness will only push Shinhye further into hell." After speaking, Jooeun hung up the phone and tried her best to calm herself down.

Jeonghwan put down his documents, held onto her hands, and gently swayed her body.

"I'm fine. It's normal to be annoyed once in a while, it helps me train a stronger heart."

"Did you see your mentor?" Jeonghwan did not ask any further as he changed the topic.

"Uh-huh, it went smoothly." Jooeun naturally sat beside Jeonghwan as she leaned against his arms. "I also met a few famous photographers. Jeonghwan, I am so happy. All that's missing is you. I couldn't help thinking if I could attend an event like that holding your hand, how perfect it would be."

"You will have plenty of chances in the future." Jeonghwan responded suggestively.

"Are you tired? Should I give you a massage?" Jooeun asked as she kneels beside him. However, before she could do anything, Jeonghwan turned towards her, grabbed hold of her hand and picked her up in his arms, carrying her horizontally.

"I want you to massage a different part of me."

"Hubby, I won't make you wait much longer. . ."

Under the moonlight, Jooeun hugged Jeonghwan and as the moment became more passionate, she mumbled, "...because I realized, when I think of you kissing someone else, I feel extremely uneasy."

Early next morning. Vanity Fair's Headquarters.

Mina once again notified Shinhye and the others to attend a meeting. After writing up the contract yesterday, today they had to officially sign it.

Shinhye wanted to take part in the magazine shoot as soon as possible because the child in her stomach is already over 1 month old. If things keep getting delayed, people would easily discover soon.

The Top Ten Model Awards is to take place in half a month's time. She wanted to use the results from Vanity Fair's shoot to obtain an award, that way she would be able to climb up the ranks to become an A-grade model. As Vanity Fair is a weekly publication, her appearance in the magazine would be before the awards ceremony. So whether she would be able to influence the Oriental Trend, would go towards her assessment for the Top Ten Model Awards qualifications.

5 minutes later, Mina entered the meeting room. She glared at Shinhye and Ryeowon with a mocking expression. However, they didn't realize.

"Mina, we are ready to go. We can get started with the shoot as soon as you are ready. Don't worry, Shinhye is an extremely professional model. She will definitely complete the task given by Vanity Fair and ignite the Oriental Trend. Also, we have already organized for Jooeun to fly home. She won't be causing us any more trouble. After all, you know she's not easy to deal with."

Mina sneered as she played with the pen in her hand. "What should we do now? Sorry Ryeowon. Unfortunately, I didn't ask you here to sign the contract. I asked you here to change models again."

After speaking, Mina tore the contract in Shinhye's hands into shreds. "I'm no longer using either of your models. This is the condition the model I want has given me."

Upon hearing this, Ryeowon slammed her hands on the table angrily. "Mina, what do you mean by this?"

Ryeowon had never thought Vanity Fair would go back on their words.

"Can't you understand what I'm saying? I said I won't be signing Park Shinhye. For the sake of your family's personal matters, you've shoved an unworthy model into my hands. Jung Ryeowon, is this how you treat your friends?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Ryeowon had a surprised expression.

"Fine, let me ask you one thing: why did you tell me Jooeun is a newcomer? She is already internationally renowned and has received multiple awards. She is even the disciple of Royal Magazine's editor. Yet you intentionally told me she's a newcomer. Were you afraid I wouldn't take Shinhye so you deliberately defamed her?" Mina exclaimed loudly.

"I..." Ryeowon choked up.

"Did you know, because of your selfishness, how humiliated I felt at last night's photography exhibition?"

Mina continued to blame Ryeowon regardless of their past friendship. "Ryeowon, I don't care what you do when no one is looking, but in front of me you better contain your scheming."

"But you can't just say you don't want her like that. You've seen Shinhye's abilities before..."

"Regarding this matter, I have no say – I've already made a promise to the model I've worked so hard to sign. If you want to plead, go speak to her. As long as she agrees to work with Shinhye, I have no opinion." Mina placed the shredded contract on the table and turned to ask her assistant. "Has she arrived?"

"Yes, she's arrived."

Hearing all this, Ryeowon clenched her teeth. "Let me see who this model that has made you shred up our contract and sever our ties is."
