In fact, describing himself as a beggar isn't even low enough when being compared to Lee Jeonghwan.
No, he couldn't accept it. How could Jooeun marry Lee Jeonghwan? The Jooeun that he didn't want, how could she marry the most mysterious and powerful man in the entertainment industry? This couldn't be true, he must be dreaming.
After soothing Jooeun, Jeonghwan finally lifted his head to look at Yonghwa. His cold piercing eyes were like that of an eagle looking at its prey. His sexy plump lips moved slightly. "It seems Mr. Jung isn't used to the food here."
His deep and mellow voice is enough to make anyone's heart shudder. Yonghwa felt a shiver down his spine as he swallowed nervously. After hearing Jeonghwan's icy cold words, he fell out of his chair and landed on the floor. His embarrassing reaction made it hard for the staff to hold back their laughter.
"You..you guys enjoy your meal, I'm going to leave first." Yonghwa wanted to get up off the floor, but...
"You want to go?" Jeonghwan lifted his gaze nonchalantly as he continued. "Where do you want to go?"
Hearing Jeonghwan's voice, the staff near the exit immediately blocked the doorway. It's obvious, from the moment Yonghwa stepped foot in the restaurant, he isn't going to leave that easily.
"Didn't Mr. Jung want to see me? We haven't even spoken much and you already want to leave?" Jeonghwan gently cut the steak in front of him as he took one glance at Yonghwa. After cutting the steak, he thoughtfully placed it in front of Jooeun.
Yonghwa remained seated on the floor as he trembled; there's no way he could reject Lee Jeonghwan.
"I...I can step out to clear Jooeun's name, to make it clear that she didn't climb into anyone's bed." Yonghwa thought this is what Lee Jeonghwan wanted, the reason he had decided to see him.
However, Jeonghwan smiled slightly. "Did you think Jooeun needs your help?" Jeonghwan stopped cutting and looked at Yonghwa. "She hasn't needed you for a long time. With me around, you are nothing."
Yonghwa was frightened. He suddenly realized he had no idea what Lee Jeonghwan's purpose in seeing him. If it isn't because he wanted him to clear Jooeun's name, then what could it be? Did he simply want to humiliate him? Or perhaps, did Lee Jeonghwan want to see him being completely defeated and helpless?
"President Lee, in that case, what do you plan to do with me?" Yonghwa is too nervous. Jeonghwan simply wanted to question him, but Yonghwa somehow felt a sense of danger from his words. He felt his pride had been completely trampled on by Jeonghwan.
"Regarding that, you will need to ask my wife." Jeonghwan turned his head to his wife. His tone of voice is caring and gentle – completely different from when he spoke to Yonghwa.
Yonghwa suddenly understood Jeonghwan's intention: he is seeking revenge for Jooeun!
Yonghwa lifted his head and looked at Jooeun, the woman that appeared to be unaffected by the world had secretly married the Big Boss of the entertainment industry. His heart is cold as he sneered. He felt all men are the same: A man with identity and status like Lee Jeonghwan, could have anyone he wants by his side, how long do you think he would want you?
Jooeun could see through the mockery in Yonghwa's eyes, but she didn't care.
"Jooeun, you've already turned me into a joke, what else do you want? Just tell me directly. I never expected you were so scheming."
"Do you want to know what day Jeonghwan and I got married? August 19th." Jooeun cut off Yonghwa's words in a cold tone.
After hearing Jooeun's words, Yonghwa looked into her eyes surprisingly. August 19th, that was the day he was supposed to marry Jooeun and also the day he abandoned her to be with Shinhye. Above all, that was the day he forced Jooeun to be Shinhye's substitute at the SHe Show.
"Then why...why didn't you use..."
"Use Jeonghwan's hands to seek revenge on you?" Jooeun continued his question for him. Her tone of voice contained a sense of ridicule. "Because I don't want to dirty Jeonghwan's hands."
After hearing Jooeun's words, a cold chill swept through Yonghwa's body. All Jooeun had to do, is announce her relationship with Lee Jeonghwan and no one would dare look down at her again, yet she chose to endure all the misunderstanding and suffering he had put her through to get to where she is today. She could rely on Lee Jeonghwan. But she didn't, why?
"So you really didn't rely on any dirty methods to get where you are today?"
"Not everyone is like you and Shinhye. Yonghwa, 3 years ago I was the top model in Seoul; now, 3 years later, I can do it again. I will prove myself to everyone. Of course, that includes you."
Yonghwa listened to Jooeun's words and suddenly let out a loud laugh. His laugh is so fake even he felt it's a bit forced. "Don't tell me the people that know Lee Jeonghwan is your husband hasn't treated you differently."
"Only you know." Jooeun stressed as she looked at Yonghwa. "As of now, you are the only one that knows of our relationship."
Yonghwa looked at Jooeun in shock. In the end, he looked down with a defeated expression. "I can't believe there is someone like you in this world. You have such a great resource, yet you don't use it. I can't believe there is really someone like you hahaha."
"In this world, not every relationship is based on using one another; just like the way I once treated you, and from now on, the way I will be treating Jeonghwan. I can depend on my own abilities to achieve my goals and get back to the high point I was once at. Maybe to you, he is considered a resource, but to me, my relationship with Jeonghwan is not about using one another – this is something you will never understand..."
At this moment, Yonghwa felt like his heart is wounded. He too once owned Jooeun's sincere heart, however, he treated her thoughtfulness as a benefit, a requirement, a tool for exchange. So it turned out, without him, Jooeun's life is better and more amazing. She could even marry whoever she wanted.
The CEO of GK. Even if he worked hard for 10 lifetimes, he wouldn't be able to get to Lee Jeonghwan's level. How could he be so dumb and stupid to be blinded by Park Shinhye? If he never betrayed Jooeun, would everything be different right now?
"I once thought of a thousand ways to torture you, but who would have thought, Shinhye used the worst method. Yonghwa, you've finally lost everything. I do not wish for anything else, nor do I have the intention to step on you while you're down. I still need to continue on with my life and in the scheme of things, you are nothing. So Yonghwa, get lost!" Jooeun raised her head. Her eyes are colder than before. "From now on, do not appear anywhere in Seoul and definitely do not appear in front of me!"
