Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 41: Gaining the Right to Voice Her Opinion

After hearing Ryeowon's response, Hyewon who's standing behind Jooeun, is completely impressed by her. Because at this moment, Jooeun had turned the tables and now treading on top of Ryeowon – she's indeed no ordinary artist. She didn't just throw her temper around, instead, she directly approached Ryeowon and demanded her rights! From now on, CN no longer had the right to interfere with her jobs. In other words, she's partially independent of her contract.

Because Jooeun understood these despicable people too well, she definitely had to make sure she had the right to make her own decisions – she couldn't let what happened with Vanity Fair happen again. What she did is better than simply humiliating them. Jooeun's mind is clear. Lin Wei sincerely believed, even if Jooeun didn't have her as a manager and didn't have an assistant, she could still get far on her own. On that note, which artist had the capability to lead their manager instead? However, even though she knew this, Hyewon is still not willing to leave Jooeun. By following Jooeun, there was so much for her to learn. Especially when Jooeun said she's only recovering the fairness she deserved, it struck a chord with Hyewon. In this industry, she didn't believe fairness existed, but Jooeun is different. She isn't worried at all about sharing a stage with Shinhye. With Jooeun's abilities, disposing of Shinhye is way too easy.

All along, in Jooeun's heart, she had been hoping for a chance to challenge Shinhye in a fair fight. Since she had previously been a substitute for Shinhye, she needed to use this opportunity to prove to the public, by substituting Shinhye, it didn't mean she isn't capable. For her, winning against Shinhye is like playing a simple game. Ultimately, now that the two parties had come to an agreement, CN could no longer casually plan out Jooeun's jobs. From now on, Jooeun's jobs would have to pass through a vote by the company's higher-ups. With their supervision, Yonghwa would no longer be able to hide the truth from the masses. From now on, the jobs that Jooeun is to propose would have the potential to make so much money. There's no way they would reject them.

Meanwhile, Jooeun agreed to allow Shinhye to participate in the Vanity Fair photoshoot with her. The two of them would work together to influence the Oriental Trend. After hearing Jooeun's decision, Mina was surprised by her willingness to accept Shinhye. Towards Jooeun, she couldn't help but gain a sense of respect. How strong-willed is she to tolerate her enemy's attacks of humiliation, even when they almost destroyed her?

"Jooeun, you really surprise me. I am looking forward to seeing you on the front cover. Regarding the multiples times that I have misjudged you, I feel extremely apologetic."

"It's OK." Jooeun showed that it didn't bother her. Jooeun understood these business people well. Because of this understanding, she's aware, it's more advantageous to convince them than to offend them.

"I wish our cooperation goes well."

Before leaving, Ryeowon and the others glared at Jooeun – there was a chilling look in their eyes. From now on the Jung family and Jooeun are completely at odds with each other. But it didn't matter. If she's afraid, she would not have spoken out at the meeting today.

As she was exiting Vanity Fair, Ryeowon gave Jooeun a word of warning.

"I don't know if you are too smart or too stupid. Jooeun, even though you have been famous before, that is all in the past. How dare you go against the company for the sake of gaining such a small benefit, especially when you don't have a strong backing? Although you will get to enjoy a few days of happiness, it won't last for long."

"You don't need to worry about this." Jooeun replied calmly.

Minjung sneered from behind. Jooeun have Jeonghwan. Even if Jooeun wasn't anything, she's still the wife of GK Entertainment's CEO. "Wait until the day the truth comes out, you idiots will be shocked beyond belief."

"Jooeun, originally I still remembered all the good times we had together, but after today, all I have for you is disgust." Yonghwa said towards her while Shinhye was wrapped in his embrace. The look in his eyes was icy cold and filled with hatred. Shinhye was pleased. This is the first time Yonghwa seriously expressed his hatred towards Jooeun. This also meant that from now on, no matter what Jooeun did, there would be no chance they would get back together. To Jooeun, this was the ultimate blow. Of course, these are all in Shinhye's mind, because at this moment, Jooeun who had heard these words as she was leaving, simply laughed.

"I thought you would have sensed the disgust I have towards you ages ago." Jooeun's calm response made Minjung and Hyewon burst out in laughter. Afterward, the three of them boarded their car and drove out of sight, not glancing back even once.

"Ahhh...." Minjung shouted in satisfaction. "Today is so refreshing! haha. Tonight I must drink some champagne to celebrate. Just the thought of Jung Ryeowon's screwed up face makes me want to take a photo of it and show it to her so she can see how ugly she is."

Hyewon turned around to look at Jooeun from the front passenger seat. There were things she wanted to know. "It was all part of your plan to make them allow you to voice your opinion right?"

"If I didn't do this, up until Shinhye gets pulled down from her perch, they will continue to use me to boost themselves. So I had to get the right to voice my opinion." Jooeun looked down at the supplementary contract written by Yonghwa and carefully analyzed if there were any flaws. She realized she didn't understand a lot of the legal terms. "Jeonghwan would need to handle this."

"Does that mean, you are going to bring down Shinhye?" Hyewon is not aware that Shinhye is pregnant yet.

"The time is not yet right..." Hyewon looked into Jooeun's eyes and stopped asking. If Jooeun was to tell her something, she would say it sooner or later. Right now, the only thing Hyewon could do is convince Jooeun to trust her more. This is the only way for their bond to become unbreakable.

"Haha! Shinhye actually wants to compete with you. Jooeun, make her into your backdrop!"

Of course, there's no point thinking too far ahead. Vanity Fair's photoshoot is the most important thing in front of them and all the fans were waiting to see who is better.

After returning to the manor, Jeonghwan isn't home yet. The three women sat on the rug in the living room casually drinking some red wine.

"Jooeun, can you cook for us? I'm so sick of the American fast food."

"But I don't want to do anything..." Jooeun leaned against the sofa lazily.

"Dear God, we still have to eat a whole week of steak, chips and hamburgers..."

"Ask my husband to cook..." Jooeun smiled. "However, I don't think he'll cook enough for you two."

"Are you saying Big Boss can cook?" Minjung looked like she had just made a huge discovery as she grabbed onto Jooeun's arms and asked.

"His cooking isn't too bad either."

"Jooeun ... Jooeun, please give our mouths the honor to experience his cooking..." Minjung joined her hands together full of sincerity – she wanted to know if Big Boss is really as great as Jooeun made him out to be. "Just a small bite, a small bite is enough."

"That's not difficult to do." At this time, Jeonghwan's voice resounded from behind them. Jooeun looked at Jeonghwan – under the sun, his handsome face is irresistible. "To celebrate Jooeun retrieving what originally belonged to her, I will cook. However, from now on, if anyone asks Jooeun to go into the kitchen again, I won't be nice to them."
