So YG responded with, "Evidence? We will wait and see. Good people will never bow down to the evil!"

Seeing this response, Minjung's face screwed up in disgust. "Jennie sure has face. Is YG under a spell? How could they play along with her?!"

Jooeun shook her head and maintained the slight smile on her face. The more trouble she was in, the calmer she got. She didn't care about anything else. All she knew was, the more Jennie threw at her, the easier it was for her to let go of the guilt she felt. After all, going against a child made her feel uneasy. But now, she no longer felt the slightest bit of guilt.

"She's already like this at 16-years-old. How far will she go when she grows older? Tsk tsk..."

Jooeun remained silent. She had everything in the palm of her hands.

Meanwhile, the public's request for Diptyque to reveal their evidence got louder and louder. At the same time, YG refused to let go of their claim that Cha Jooeun was bullying a 16-year-old child. No matter what people said, they calmly defended their stance of protecting their artist.

Yves was a clever man. He knew how to grasp the right timing. Since YG wanted to stand in the firing line, then he wasn't going to hold back. So Diptyque announced they would be making a simple explanation speech and that the media were welcome to come to ask questions. Yves decided to personally stand in front of everyone and make this speech.

Meanwhile, Jennie was sitting in her waiting room, swaying her legs casually as she enjoyed her assistant's massage. She had no idea a crisis was upon her.

The sound of camera shutters echoed through the hall as reporters excitedly snapped photos of Yves. They couldn't believe Diptyque had actually thrown themselves into the mess between Cha Jooeun and Jennie Kim.

"Mr. Yves, from what standpoint are you providing this explanation speech? And what is the reason for your unwavering support for Cha Jooeun? Is it because you have an indecent deal with her?"

Hearing the reporter's question, Yves immediately pointed at the man and instructed his assistant. "This reporter, write down his name for me. After this is over, have my lawyer send him a letter."

With these words, the entire room was in shock as they exchanged glances. They had never imagined Yves would be this ruthless from the start.

"At this time, let me explain why I am the one providing an explanation. It is because everything started from Diptyque's event and we already have a grasp of the truth. Just because netizens can't accept the truth, does that mean by exposing the truth it automatically means we have undertaken something indecent? As a famous perfume label, Diptyque has its own bottom line and principles. Towards people with bad intentions, we have zero tolerance."

"My second point, which is also the main reason why I am here today is in regards to all the rumors about Cha Jooeun bullying Jennie Kim. From where I stand, all I see is Cha Jooeun's generosity in being forgiving towards Jennie Kim, no matter how she uses her to create hype. She acknowledges that Jennie Kim is still young and has not developed the right values. She also believes that if Jennie Kim does something wrong, she should be forgiven."

"Mr. Yves, even Cha Jooeun has admitted to giving Jennie Kim a gift. How do you explain this?"

"She admitted to it because she did indeed give her a gift. However, she refused to apologize because her gift wasn't what Jennie Kim claimed it was. As a victim, why should she apologize?" Yves turned the questions back on the reporters.

"How do you know Cha Jooeun's gift wasn't what Jennie Kim claimed it to be?"

Slowly, the questioning reached its climax and they were getting to the main point. Everyone assumed Yves had merely stepped out as a favor. Where would he get evidence from? They waited to see what game he was playing. At this time, Yves did not disappoint.

"How? Because Cha Jooeun's gift was personally sent out by Diptyque. Cha Jooeun and her staff did not even lay a hand on it. The gift came directly from Diptyque's warehouse and the card was prepared by one of our managers. Even the person that made the delivery was one of our staff. If you look at the photo Jennie Kim posted online, you can clearly see on the bottom right corner of the gift box, there is Diptyque's logo. You are also welcome to compare the handwriting on the gift card with our manager's. Above all, we have security cameras at Diptyque. If you want to see the footage of us preparing and sending out the gift, I can provide it to you. With all this evidence, do you still believe Cha Jooeun was bullying Jennie Kim?"

"Let me tell you the truth. Cha Jooeun came over a couple of days ago to provide us with an apology and explanation for why she didn't attend the event. So Diptyque released a statement of truce. At this time, Jennie Kim was already going around claiming that Cha Jooeun was excluding her and refusing to share a stage with her. Although Cha Jooeun was being defamed, she never tried to retaliate, she even gave the limited edition fragrance I gave to her straight to Jennie Kim. She felt guilty for making Jennie Kim misunderstand. And that's how Diptyque ended up sending the gift out on her behalf."

"However, the thing that made me most surprised was, Miss Jennie Kim, you've taken the gift. Yet you deliberately swapped out the contents and manipulated the public to create hype. You knew netizens would stick up for you, so you ruthlessly threw Cha Jooeun into the firing line. If this was a small mistake, it wouldn't have mattered. But your heart is so evil, it's absolutely outrageous!"

After speaking, Yves presented all the evidence on the screen behind him. This included video footage of the gift being prepared and sent out. He even invited witnesses on stage to explain the entire process clearly. No one could believe that the gift Jennie had claimed to have come from Cha Jooeun, did not actually come from her!

She didn't do it! She didn't do it. Cha Jooeun wasn't even the one that sent it out. During the entire process, she didn't even touch it. With this, Jennie's intent was obvious. How dare she presents a fake gift to the public and claim that Cha Jooeun was sending her a warning?

This is a complete joke! Does she not feel shame?

It's obvious she created all the hype. It's not like the people at Diptyque would deliberately frame her, they have no reason to. The outrage online was once again ignited. No one expected things to turn out the way they did. Everything had been flipped and Jennie Kim received a direct hit!

"In that case, why didn't Cha Jooeun explain everything?"

"Cha Jooeun sent out the gift with good intentions, it was a simple apology. However, someone with a scheming heart decided to take advantage of it. If Diptyque weren't involved in this incident, how badly would Cha Jooeun continue to be defamed? While she was struggling to defend herself, all of you, including netizens, was pouncing on her like wolves, not giving her a chance to explain. So why don't you ask yourselves why?"

The reporters were dumbfounded, as their expressions became uneasy.
