Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 99: Woo Seokho's Betrayal

"Jooeun, I am currently at Shinhye's assistant's home."

Early in the morning the next day, Minjung made a phone call to Jooeun. "However, it seems his daughter is sick. His wife is still quite young and all she's doing is playing games in her room."

"How sick is she?" Jooeun furrowed her brows.

"How important is Shinhye to this man, for him to care about her so much?"

"She won't stop crying and seems to be having both a fever and the chills. This poor child."

Jooeun could hear the crying coming through the phone. If they hadn't come across this child, then it wouldn't have concerned them, but since Minjung was witnessing this situation, she instructed her. "Take her to the hospital and pay for the bills."

Minjung understood, so she quickly called the ambulance to take the child to the emergency. While they were leaving, the child's mother was still watching a movie with her headphones on.

"This child had such a high fever she almost had pneumonia, what were you adults doing?" The doctor asked Minjung as he examined the child's body.

Just as Minjung was about to respond, Shinhye's assistant rushed over and looked at his daughter anxiously. "Doctor, how is my daughter?"

"Lucky she arrived in time or else it would have developed into pneumonia!"

After hearing his daughter is okay, Seokho gave a sigh of relief. However, when he turned his head and saw Minjung, he was cautious. "What are you doing here?"

"She's the one that brought your daughter to the hospital." The doctor explained after figuring out the relationship between the three.

Seokho had mixed feelings. After seeing his daughter had fallen asleep, he pulled Minjung outside.

"What is the meaning of this? Are you trying to find out Shinhye's whereabouts? Let me tell you, it's impossible!"

Minjung scoffed as she pulled out some cash from her wallet and handed it to Seokho. "Jooeun instructed me to send this child to the hospital. This money is also from Jooeun. She told me to give it to you. Seokho-ssi, do you know which part of you I look down on? You've given Shinhye everything, but has she even considered the circumstances of you and your daughter? In the end, you needed the help of your enemy to save you."

Seokho looked at the cash in his hands. He thought about how even in her current state, Shinhye still wanted to live in luxury. Thinking of her greedy expression, Seokho held back for a moment before speaking up. "Thank you for saving my daughter. I will help you guys just this once to repay your favor."

Minjung turned around and looked into Seokho's eyes. As expected, a person like Shinhye couldn't keep even her most loyal dog by her side; she deserved to be abandoned.

"Seokho-ssi lied to Shinhye that he found a big boss that is willing to sign her on as the front cover model of a men's magazine. After hearing this, Shinhye is extremely excited. We've already arranged to meet 7 PM tonight at JW Marriott Seoul Hotel."

"Minjung unnie, it's been hard for you." Jooeun's voice is calm like she had everything under control.

"Not hard at all. I also want to see Shinhye's fate."

Jooeun continued to receive invites from multiple companies, and as usual, she continued to decline them by saying she's resting. Her response to most companies is polite, except for one. In response to one particular company, she instructed Minjung to give them a name and thank them for personally inviting Jooeun for an interview.

After hearing this, the editor of the magazine immediately went to investigate the name he's given. It turned out the b*stard had invited Jooeun to be a nude model. In the fashion industry, offending others is a huge taboo. Who would have thought, that b*stard had asked her to be a nude model?

"You don't need to work here anymore, get lost! At that time, we were indeed trying to avoid being implicated by the bed-climbing incident so we declined to work with Cha Jooeun. But it's bad enough that we canceled the contract, you even wanted to make her a nude model? What did I say at the time? I told you to stay away from her, yet what stupid thing did you do?"

"Editor, I was wrong." The man was taken aback. He didn't expect karma to hit him so quickly.

"Hurry and get lost! Her assistant already remembers your name, do you think you can still survive in this industry?"

Because of the incident that recently happened, everyone in the magazine industry is in awe of Jooeun. To be able to climb out of a situation like the bed-climbing scandal, how could a normal person do that?

5 PM. Nine One Hannam

Jeonghwan is still in the early stages of his sickness as he sat in the study room dealing with some important business. Taejoo arrived from the office with some documents; records of Jang Geunseuk's whereabouts over the past month. The records are extremely detailed. It seemed Taejoo had put in a lot of effort to get this information. Of course, the information GK wanted is confidential and no one knew about it.

"Have you guys finished?" Jooeun pushed open the door and asked as she pointed to her watch.

"You've come just in time. Come here." Jeonghwan waved her over. After she arrived by his side, he pulled her into his arms and showed her the information on his laptop. "This old artist has supported 4 models in the last month. Amongst them is a model from Sublime."

Jooeun looked at the extremely detailed report and scrunched up her eyebrows. "Jerk."

"No matter what, with this report, we can clearly prove your innocence."

"President Lee, you can really find out everything." Jooeun is a little surprised. She turned her head and looked at Jeonghwan in disbelief. "Don't tell me you've hired the police to be your paparazzi?"

"This old sleazebag has gotten used to sleeping around; he isn't very discreet. If I want to investigate him, it's not hard. I just need to waste a bit of time."

Jooeun browsed through the information and looked at the names of all the models that were involved. She's quite surprised, but of course, she couldn't reveal everything. By revealing it, she would prove her innocence. But she would also implicate all these other models. She couldn't do that because she would be making too many enemies and creating too many hidden dangers for herself. Plus the models involved had never done anything bad to her, so she only needed to target a few specific people.

"This report came too late." Jeonghwan is actually heartbroken that he hadn't presented this report back when Jooeun was being defamed, making her go through so much pain and suffering.

Jooeun was dumbfounded for a moment before shaking her head. "It's never too late for the truth. The bed-climbing scandal was started by Shinhye. However, the huge number of anti-fans and marketing around the scandal was created by people at Sublime. Park Hyomin really has her methods." Jooeun is aware she had stepped on someone's toes.

"I know you will make good use of this report." Jeonghwan isn't worried at all. Afterward, he had a look at the time and realized it's already 5:30 PM, so he quickly reminded Jooeun. "Don't you need to go see Shinhye? Why aren't you getting ready?"

"Are you OK to be at home by yourself?" Jooeun gently stroked Jeonghwan's handsome face.

"Silly." Jooeun smiled.

The couple hugged each other affectionately before Jooeun left the study room. After she left, Jeonghwan picked up his phone and rang Taejoo. "Check that there are no reporters or any hidden dangers in and around JW Marriott Seoul. Also Taejoo, you may need to do some overtime."

"President, do you want to..."

"Of course I want to personally go support my wife."
