At the same time, while his cousin isn't paying attention, Han Jiwoo swapped out Cha Jooeun's scandal with the article he had prepared. It's not until the article created an uproar in the media that Yoo Minshik realized, the scandal his cousin released did not even mention Cha Jooeun in the headline. The headline read,

[Shocking Revelation: Solid Evidence against New Models Involved in the Bed-Climbing Scandal!]

Han Jiwoo cleverly avoided mentioning Jooeun as previously agreed upon with Minjung. Now that everyone knew Jooeun wasn't involved, there's no point in throwing her into the mix. The article that was released, contained detailed information about Jang Geunseuk's whereabouts and photos of models involved with his under-the-table operations. Their names were all replaced with one-letter nicknames. Most importantly, Han Jiwoo excitedly mentioned that his information came from 'Miss P', a manager from a famous agency whose name has a similar meaning as 'gorgeous'. He practically told everyone, the person is Park Hyomin!

Yoo Minshik was so angry, he almost smashed Han Jiwoo's computer. Meanwhile, Han Jiwoo looked at him with a ridiculing smile. "Don't be angry. After I get paid I'll give you a 10% split."

"Who gave you the confidence to do this?" Jaehan slammed his hands on the table; the fire in his eyes looked like they were ready to burn Jiwoo alive.

"If you had treated me fairly, I would not have done this to you. But now, all you can do is wait for Park Hyomin to come to look for you."

After speaking, Han Jiwoo took everything he owned, except his keyboard, and left the small studio.

Minshik never expected Jooeun's methods are so clever. By deflecting the danger onto someone else, not only did she start a battle between Park Hyomin and the models involved with Jang Geunseuk, but she also destroyed the relationship between the cousins. Now that the article had been released, it's already too late for him to stop it from spreading. He should not have offended Cha Jooeun! If he hadn't written fake articles about Cha Jooeun, he would not be in the situation he's currently in; not only did he not receive any money, he had attracted a whole heap of trouble!

As soon as the scandal was released, the four models involved and Park Hyomin became the hottest topic online. Netizens are obsessed with guessing the names of those involved, and the only obvious name is Park Hyomin. After all, the article is too ambiguous and there's only one manager with the surname Park in Sublime.

Good friends called Hyomin to check on her situation. But after seeing the article, she decided to stay quiet for a while as she adjusted her glasses. She could roughly guess, this is Cha Jooeun's counterattack and method of revenge. At the same time, it was a warning.

Hyomin turned off her computer. She originally intended on leaving the office, but the people in the office are pointing and complaining about her. It seemed they had all assumed she was the one that had sold the bed-climbing information to the reporters. In the end, she had gained benefits, but the company was implicated because of her.

Hyomin sneered. She didn't care about all the gossip. She simply headed for the lift. Coincidentally, she ran into Bohyun. He's also leaving the office. Hyomin's mouth twitched a little, but nothing came out. After reaching level B1, they were the only two people in the lift. The lift rang as the doors opened. Behind Hyomin, Bohyun spoke coldly. "I've seen too many female celebrities being stepped on by you and being stabbed in the back by you. But I never expected there would be someone with better methods than you."

"I can tell you're quite happy about this." Hyomin replied without turning back to look at him. "Don't forget. If Cha Jooeun finds out you were the one that prevented her from joining Sublime, I wonder what she would do to you."

"I have a feeling, there will be a lot more suffering coming your way." Bohyun laughed. His face relaxed, it had been a long time since he felt at ease like this; it's all because of Cha Jooeun's counterattack.

"Let's just wait and see. By the way, I almost forgot to tell you, President Seo has already handed the responsibility of auditioning newcomers to me."

"Although President Seo hasn't mentioned anything, with this bed-climbing incident, you have become the target of public criticism. The only reason President Seo gave you the responsibility of auditioning newcomers is so that you can recover a bit of trust amongst your coworkers. This isn't something you should be proud of." Bohyun responded. Hyomin finally turned around and glared at him. He simply opened his car door and stepped inside. He had never imagined, the extremely arrogant Park Hyomin; the Park Hyomin that was always scheming had been brutally attacked by a model to the point where she couldn't fight back. "Cha Jooeun, I really need to take note of you!"

GK Entertainment. CEO's Office.

It's time for the staff to get off work. Jeonghwan is sitting in his office with his eyes closed, listening to the follow-up news from the bed-climbing scandal.

"According to the photos and information that have been exposed, netizens have matched it up with Cha Jooeun's schedule, which was previously revealed, and they have concluded that it does not overlap in any way. From this, we can see, in regards to the bed-climbing scandal, Cha Jooeun is indeed not involved and instead – the biggest victim. As for Cha Jooeun herself, we have contacted her assistant. Her assistant has expressed that she believes the truth can never be hidden and she knew it would be revealed sooner or later. Cha Jooeun has also asked us to tell her fans, she has been well and there is no need to worry about her."

After hearing this segment of the news, Jeonghwan turned off the TV and turned his attention to Taejoo. "What were you saying just a moment ago?"

"President, I just heard, the person in charge of auditions at Sublime is Park Hyomin. If Madam goes there now, she will definitely be humiliated."

"That may not be the case." Jeonghwan shook his head gently. "Taejoo, it's because you don't understand Jooeun enough that you think this way. She is the type of person that achieves everything she sets out to do. There is no way she will cower at the sight of Park Hyomin. Even if her enemy is temporarily pushing down on her head, she will not easily give up."

"Indeed the President understands Madam the most." Taejoo smiled. "Madam's counterattack this time is spectacular. That Park Hyomin should have been taught a lesson earlier."

Jeonghwan's eyes lit up. He's about to make a phone call to Jooeun, but she called him first. Her voice is anxious.

"Hwan, the people at JYP just contacted me. The CEO has invited me to dinner at 7 PM with him. I originally intended on rejecting him, but it seems they've taken Minjung unnie somewhere. It appears they are trying to force me, they want me to head over right now."

Hearing Jooeun's words, Jeonghwan thought back on all the multiple email invites and attractive offers she had received from JYP. He had responded to all the emails, telling them Jooeun did not have the intention to work with them. But how dare the people at JYP act forcefully in front of him?

"I will make an appearance at the dinner tonight, but as you are aware, their background isn't normal. Can you ask Taejoo to prepare me some bodyguards?"

"Are bodyguards enough?" Jeonghwan's eyes suddenly looked cold, like they had knives hidden inside them.

"Yes, bodyguards are enough." Jooeun nodded.

"OK..." Jeonghwan hung up his phone after replying to her and glared directly in front of him in silence.
