Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 101: Who is Your Husband?

"Married? Who did you marry?" Shinhye appeared to have heard an extremely amusing joke. She pointed recklessly at Jooeun. "Jooeun, when you lie, others might not know. But I know better than anyone how in love with Yonghwa you are. For the sake of Yonghwa, you were stupid enough to substitute me and support me. You were even willing to do anything to seek revenge on us. You? Married? Don't you think you're being too ridiculous? You just couldn't accept the fact that you lost to me so you found an excuse to cover up your shame. We are both women, stop acting in front of me."

Jooeun looked at Shinhye. She couldn't understand why any man would be interested in someone like her. However, slowly she began to understand: men merely wanted a pretty and greedy woman; all they had to do is give her what she wanted and she'd throw herself at them. They also wanted a woman that's clever, but not too smart, so they could control them. So for someone like Yonghwa who already had a fiancee and Jang Geunseuk who already had a wife, Shinhye is exactly the type of woman they needed.

"Shinhye, I'm sure you know whether what I'm saying is the truth." Jooeun sat comfortably in her chair as she crossed her arms on top of the table in front of her. "All along, you assumed I stayed at CN because I still had feelings for Yonghwa, but when did you ever see me fight for him? I haven't left CN because I want to return to the modeling industry by stepping on you. Don't tell me you haven't realized that? Right now, you've become an ant that anyone can step on. Do you think I still need to lie to you?" After speaking, Jooeun leaned back in her chair. At this moment, there's a knock on the door.

Minjung walked over to open the door. A hotel staff walked in with dinner. "Madam, your husband has asked us to prepare this for you. Please enjoy." Jooeun looked at the food in front of her and smiled. "Thank you."

Hearing the staff call her Madam, Shinhye is halfway to believing Jooeun's words. However, she couldn't figure out who she could have married. On top of everything, she couldn't accept the fact that by stealing Yonghwa – the piece of trash – she had unintentionally given Jooeun a push forward.

"Shinhye, you've actually got a great sacrificing spirit." Jooeun ridiculed Shinhye as she picked up her knife and fork to eat.

"Who is your husband?" Shinhye questioned Jooeun in a tense voice. She had used so much energy to steal Yonghwa, did she instead create an opportunity for Jooeun to advance? All the effort she put in to steal this man was merely to help Jooeun dispose of the rubbish by her side? She couldn't believe she had been entertaining herself with Yonghwa for so long.

"Have a guess."

Shinhye lowered her head and carefully thought about which man had the most contact with Jooeun recently. From the time at the SHe Show, there was one man that stood up for her. At the airport in the US, this same man made an appearance under the excitement of Jung Ryeowon. At the Bright Night Gala, Jooeun was wearing matching couple-style clothes with one particular man. When she was accused of creating hype by taking a photo with this man, he stepped in heroically and helped her deal with Jung Ryeowon. As for this time, with the bed-climbing scandal, GK's director insisted on sticking up for Jooeun even under the disapproval of netizens.

All these are not hard to piece together. It's just that no one made the connection between the two because the man is the CEO of GK, Lee Jeonghwan!

Shinhye's expression turned unpleasant, her thoughts are in a mess. She couldn't accept that while she was stealing Yonghwa, Jooeun had gotten married to Lee Jeonghwan.

Jooeun lifted her head to relish in the look on Shinhye's face. She assumed Shinhye had already figured something out. But just as she's about to speak, the room door once again opened. This time, the person to enter the room is not a member of the staff, but the man that is supposed to be resting at home, Lee Jeonghwan. He had a dignified aura that made others intimidated as he took strong and steady steps into the room. It's like he was born to be high and mighty. However, all this did not compare to the look in his eyes which seemed to steal one's soul.

Under Shinhye's stunned gaze, he approached Jooeun from behind, reached out his hand, grabbed her chin, and gently placed a kiss on her lips. This kiss from the back made the couple appear extremely intimate.

"You still haven't finished talking? I've already been waiting a while..."

"I'm currently helping Miss Park refresh her memory." Jooeun grabbed onto Jeonghwan's arm and pulled him down to sit beside her.

Shinhye felt like something is stuck in her throat as she started swallowing nervously. Meanwhile, her arms couldn't help but tremble.

She had stolen Yonghwa. She stole him so that Jooeun would be in unbearable pain. However, never would she have imagined, she ended up pushing Jooeun to Lee Jeonghwan – the Big Boss of the Entertainment Industry. She had been humiliating Jooeun for preparing her wedding dress, but what about herself? She's the most stupid person in the world. So stupid that she ended up placing her enemy on the Queen's throne.

"The truth hurts." Jeonghwan swept his piercing eyes across Shinhye. "You know what Park Shinhye-ssi? Rather than being a model, I think there's a career that is better suited to you."

"Pr...President Lee..."

"A mistress."

Jooeun pinched the back of Jeonghwan's hand, gesturing him to stop joking. Jeonghwan tilted his head towards his wife and placed his hand on the back of her chair like a silent warning.

This woman is mine; she is someone I will protect and love with all my heart.

Jooeun continued to enjoy the look on Shinhye's face. She couldn't tell if it's a look of sadness, remorse, or shame, so she casually asked. "Are you still proud of stealing Yonghwa?"

Impossible!

Minjung is standing behind the trio giggling to herself. If she was Shinhye, she would ram her head into the wall and let everything end once and for all. After all, she just found out she's the most stupid person on earth!

"If you are still feeling proud, then go ahead and continue that way." After speaking, Jooeun grabbed Jeonghwan's hand and stood up. She took one last glance at the dumbfounded Shinhye before leaving the room.

Minjung did not follow them out. Instead, she sauntered over to Shinhye's side and whispered in her ear. "Since you've helped out Jooeun with such great favor, should I be thanking you? Let me advise you to hurry and hide. The people from JYP have been looking everywhere for you. They want you to compensate for breaching your contract, but what have you got to pay them back with? JYP has quite a strong backing, I wonder what they would do if they found you...What would your fate be like?"

Shinhye gripped onto the edges of the wooden table in front of her; her nails wanted to dig into it. After Minjung left, she immediately tried to escape. But on the way to the hotel, Jooeun had already told Minjung to contact the people at JYP. As soon as Shinhye stepped out of the hotel she is quickly surrounded by a group of men. They dragged her to a corner and gave her a good beating. She didn't have enough money to compensate them.

Speaking of JYP, Jooeun's management contract had not made any progress. She wanted to join Sublime, but there's someone in Sublime that felt like she had gotten in their way.

At this time, JYP once again sent Jooeun an invite.
