Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 68: Unexpected Discovery

"How did you handle this matter?" Ryeowon asked. She had received a huge blow and all she could do now is a walk in with her tail between her legs; she wanted so bad to find a hole to hide in.

Yonghwa looked at Jooeun, his eyes contained a complex look. "She must have already known we tore up her invitation, so no matter how well we prepared, her true intentions were well hidden while she watched our every move."

"As if she's that smart." Ryeowon continued to blame everything on Yonghwa's bad management. "Just wait and see. Since we haven't been able to stop her today, it's going to be even harder to stop her in the future."

Shinhye glanced at the siblings besides her, especially Ryeowon who claimed to be special. Her eyes flashed a moment of ridicule; Jooeun isn't too smart, everyone just underestimated her and let their guard down, including herself. But no matter how hard Jooeun tried to climb up, it didn't matter. Since Shinhye managed to secure a Top Ten Model Award, she is confident she would be able to beat Jooeun.

The trio caused such a commotion before entering the venue that word of them failing to suppress Jooeun quickly spread to the ears of everyone present. Yonghwa looked at the ridiculing gazes of the guests as he tried hard to hold back his anger. They soon found their seats. According to their status in the industry, they are seated towards the back; temporarily hidden from sight, giving them a bit of relief. However, what they didn't expect is that Jooeun would be seated two rows from the front. On her left sat 1stLook's editor and on her right sat one of the judges of the Top Ten Model Awards. This judge just so happened to be the man that slept with Shinhye.

Why is Jooeun always so lucky?

Although Jooeun isn't familiar with the man, Shinhye still felt uneasy, because she felt guilty.

"Shinhye, what's wrong? Your palms are sweaty"

"Nothing's wrong, I'm just a bit nervous." Shinhye brushed Yonghwa off with a smile.

The Bright Night Gala is like the opening ceremony for the annual awards ceremonies, so many celebrities are gathered. As many people in the entertainment industry loved fashion, there are a large number of attendees.

Jooeun is concentrated on the stage as the hosts give their opening speeches. However, the judge sitting to her right is mesmerized by her legs. Mr. Jang is well known for being sleazy, hence why Shinhye managed to get her way with him.

Worst of all, not only did he merely look at Jooeun's legs, he even turned to her and said, "Miss Cha, you are so beautiful. I saw a recent article about you and found that you are extremely professional; I have high hopes for you."

After hearing him speak, Jooeun could sense he's hinting at something else to her. She decided to respond politely. "Thank you for your praise."

Upon seeing the judge inching closer and closer to Jooeun, Mr. Graham patted her on the shoulder and requested, "Take my seat, I have something I want to ask Mr. Jang."

Jooeun understood that Mr. Graham is trying to help her out of this sticky situation and quickly gave him a grateful smile before swapping seats with him.

To Mr. Graham, Jooeun is an extremely professional model with a promising future, so he didn't want any negative news to arise about her.

Seeing Jooeun unwilling to play along, the judge glared at her; they are obviously from the same company, but why was Shinhye so easy to bed, yet Jooeun is so stuck-up? Isn't she just a fallen outdated model that recently got back on her feet?

Jooeun continued to concentrate on the stage as she pretended to be unaware of what is happening. But deep down she knew, today she may have offended this judge.

Shinhye watched from the back and focused on their movements; she noticed the old sleazebag had his eyes set on Jooeun. If Jooeun decided to follow the same path as her, then wouldn't that mean she would have to be stepped all over by Jooeun again? After all, who wouldn't choose a shortcut to success? Why did Jooeun have to fight with her over everything?

On the stage, the hosts were throwing out punchlines one after another making the audience roar in laughter. After the head of the organizing committee gave his speech, it signaled the launch ceremony had officially started and the special guest would be about to appear.

Lee Jeonghwan.

Lee Jeonghwan.

Jooeun chanted her husband's name in her heart. He is an untouchable superstar that everyone looked up to. In fact, he possesses a presence that even some of the most famous celebrities couldn't compare to. He is more attractive than anyone else, and tonight he would appear at the same event as his wife for the first time, even though no one actually knew they are married.

"In a moment, our special guest will be making an appearance."

The host only started speaking, yet below the stage, the crowd is already cheering loudly. The host smiled waiting for everyone to quiet down, before continuing. "He is more popular than any superstar or even famous celebrity. He is the CEO of GK Entertainment. Give a round of applause to Mr. Lee Jeonghwan!"

As soon as the host's words left his mouth, Jeonghwan appeared from behind the stage. Under the spotlight, his sculpted body looked even more perfect and built. Most importantly, the presence he exuded is similar to that of a king; it's like he was born to stand intimidatingly where no one could reach.

Jeonghwan swept his gaze across the hall before spotting Jooeun. Their eyes met. Their feelings for each other are quickly expressed through their gaze, but it only lasted 2 seconds before Jeonghwan quickly glanced away.

"President Lee, please speak." The host welcomed him to the stage.

Jeonghwan's eyes twinkled. The mole on his right earlobe Is magnificent like obsidian. "GK's door has always been open to winners."

Jeonghwan only said one simple sentence, one very simple sentence, and it's enough to tell everyone one honest truth: GK only accepted powerful artists. At the same time, he also gave GK's artists an affirmation. They are at the top of their game because behind them is GK Entertainment, an undefeated legend of the industry.

Hearing these words, Jooeun also understood. This is encouragement from Jeonghwan. Only after she becomes the most powerful, would she be able to stand wherever she wanted.

"Ohhh! Our President Lee's suit color matches that of Cha Jooeun-ssi." Jooeun's dress is imprinted in the host's memory, especially since she is seated just below them on the right; a quick glance made the comparison even more obvious. So after seeing Jeonghwan wearing clothes in a similar color group, he couldn't help but point it out.

Jooeun did not expect her name to be called out. After being stunned for a few seconds, she quickly stood up and smiled. "It is my honor."

Everyone knew Lee Jeonghwan hated artists that rode on other's coattails, so they wondered whether Jooeun's outfit meant she had deliberately inquired about Jeonghwan's outfit to create hype?

Those below the stage waited for Jeonghwan's reaction and for Jooeun to be humiliated.
