Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 62: The Torn Invitation Letter

Now that Shinhye had revived, the happiest person to hear this news, is none other than Jung Ryeowon, since she wanted so badly to control Jooeun and see her completely destroyed. Originally, she had already given up on Shinhye, but who would have thought, while swords were drawn between CN and Jooeun, she managed to turn the tables; qualifying for the Top Ten Model Awards and becoming an award winner.

"Congratulations Shinhye! As you are one of the award winners, you have also been invited to the 'Model Elections Bright Night Gala'. There will be famous artists from all different companies attending and plenty of fashion resources; you need to make the most of this opportunity. There are also rumors going around that there will be a special guest on the night. Of course, Jooeun is also invited but. . ." Ryeowon held up Jooeun's invitation letter in front of Yonghwa and Shinhye and tore it in half. ". . . she shouldn't dream of going."

"Noona, do you think this is a good idea?" Yonghwa is sitting at the table. He laughed mockingly at Jooeun.

"I don't know anything. On the night of the ball, if the organizers ask, we will just say Jooeun is putting on a front and deliberately didn't show up. She was only CN's guard dog once, even if she transforms from a low-class breed to a high-class one, she is still just a dog."

Ryeowon looked at the two firmly and sinisterly. Needless to say, even though Jooeun didn't allow them to interfere with her jobs, it didn't mean they couldn't scheme against her in other ways. After all, she still belonged to the company, and organizers of events would always contact the company; not the artist directly.

After Ryeowon left the room with a victorious expression, silence fell between Yonghwa and Shinhye. Finally, Yonghwa spoke up. "Shinhye, don't you think the judges of the Top Ten Model Awards are a bit strange?"

Shinhye froze as an uneasy look swept across her face. Holding back her uneasiness, she replied. "Did Jooeun say something to you?"

"Don't throw the focus onto Jooeun every time something happens to you. All I'm asking is, did you do anything behind the scenes with the judges?" Yonghwa looked at Shinhye with a disheartened expression. He lifted her jaw and looked straight into her eyes. "The darkness in this industry, do you think I'm not more familiar with it than you? For you, I almost involved my mother. If you betray me, then our relationship is over."

"Yonghwa, I'm also surprised I got an award." Shinhye forced herself to remain calm and act like she normally did.

"Don't let me find out you've done something dirty. For you, I've gotten to this point with Jooeun; don't you dare stab me in the back."

"I still have your child in my stomach, as if I would do anything reckless."

The child is Shinhye's ultimate guarantee. Yonghwa analyzed Shinhye for a while. In the end, he decided to trust her. "Fine, fine, I trust you."

If God wanted to destroy a person, he would first make them do crazy things, and right now, Shinhye is amongst this craziness. She had no idea she was playing with fire. All she's dreaming about is to stand on the awards stage.

As Shinhye was notified to receive an award, changes were made to CN's upcoming jobs. Yonghwa gathered all the company's higher-ups for a meeting. He told them about the incident where Jooeun threatened Ryeowon with canceling her contract; he wanted them to give up on Jooeun and focus on Shinhye, as well as support newcomers. Upon finding out Jooeun would leave sooner or later, the higher-ups had no choice but to accept Yonghwa's suggestion.

At this time, Jooeun is still shooting the IPKN commercial. After work is done, Minjung quickly approached her with a jacket and covered her up. "Now your work is done, do you want to return to CN to discuss the 1stLook contract with him?"

"Let's not talk about 1stLook for now." Jooeun replied. She's certain, now that Shinhye is to receive an award, there's no way CN would be lenient towards her. At the same time, CN's higher-ups were focused on profits; 1stLook posed too much of a risk. If she is to present it now, it would definitely be rejected straight away.

"Jooeun, during this time, you have to be careful. Ryeowon and the other two are now working together to go against you; it's hard to tell what they would do behind your back." Minjung helped her remove her makeup and change into her own clothing. She then escorted her out of the studio as she interacted with the fans waiting outside.

"I just need to stay out of their way before the awards ceremony." Jooeun smiled.

"Should we find evidence of Shinhye bribing the judges?"

"Unnie, it's not beneficial for us to offend the judges. It's probably what Shinhye wants us to do, as it's so easy to burn ourselves by doing that. Let's not risk it. We already have her life and death in our hands, we don't need to do anything extra." Jooeun had thought everything over carefully. Since Shinhye is brave enough to do something like this, she is definitely prepared.

She's even brave enough to betray Yonghwa. What else wouldn't she do? They would let her go ahead and receive the award, there's no need to stop her. After all, in the end, she would still fall down into the depths of the abyss.

"Where should we go now?"

"To GK, let's pick Jeonghwan up from work." Jooeun lifted her twinkling eyes. Since she had finished work now, all she wanted to do is be a wife.

Minjung smiled slightly. The relationship between Jooeun and Big Boss is improving day by day and she couldn't help but feel happy for her.

5 PM.

The entire Seoul is still busy at work. Jooeun arrived at the cafe opposite the GK's building and sat herself down as she sent Jeonghwan a message. "After work, please go directly to the hotel opposite your building. I want to share a dinner with President Lee."

Jeonghwan just finished an extremely long meeting. Upon seeing Jooeun's message, he immediately replied. "Do you want to come to keep me company at the office?"

"If I come, it will grab everyone's attention. It's best if I don't." Jooeun actually wanted to go; she wanted to see how grand the office of the entertainment industry's Big Boss is.

"Come to the basement carpark, I will get Taejoo to bring you up through the secret entrance." If GK didn't have arrangements for confidentiality, how could they be known as an entertainment empire?

"In that case, wait for me." After typing, Jooeun wrapped herself up and headed to the basement carpark with Minjung. Taejoo is already waiting. He escorted her through the secret entry straight up to the 42nd floor, The CEO's Office.

"Madam, as long as you want to come, just let the president know and I will come down to get you. At GK, you don't need to worry about confidentiality." Taejoo explained. "All the staff in the company have already signed an agreement; if any gossip is spread through the company, they will have to compensate 1 billion dollars for breaching their contracts. So, even if they see anything, you don't need to worry about them saying anything."

As expected, Lee Jeonghwan has his own way of ruling his empire.
