Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 188: Let Me Bow Down to You

"Hey, have you guys seen the recording at the top of search rankings?"

"What gossip is it this time?"

"What else could it be? It turns out, Cha Jooeun was defamed so badly yesterday because Sublime's CEO didn't like that she was disobedient. Who does she think she is? Does she think she is a god that has complete control over others?"

"So the tables turned again?"

The netizens quickly opened the recording at the top of search rankings. It was a complete recording of Jooeun's manager, Seo Kangjun, and Sublime's CEO, Seo Yeji. Many people were familiar with them, so their voices were easily identified.

The content of the recording consisted of Kangjun asking Yeji why she wasn't satisfied after already tarnishing Jooeun's reputation and Yeji arrogantly replying that it was because Jooeun wasn't obedient. Even when destroying her own agency's model, she didn't hold back at all.

The netizens started discussing how the entertainment industry was like a deep pool of water. When seeking the truth, one should not only look on the surface.

It didn't take long before Jooeun became known as the victim. At this time, many people that had experienced similar incidences quickly left messages about their experiences and showed their support.

"It's amazing for someone to have a lot of money. But when they use the money to destroy other's dreams and ruin other's lives, they are downright rubbish!"

"Seo Yeji is just the tip of the iceberg. In all honesty, the entertainment industry is like a stinky ditch – filled with rubbish."

"Actually, what I truly want to say is, the person that posted up this recording is really cool!"

"The reason why Cha Jooeun was defamed like this was because she's been standing in too many people's way. She is too clean and aloof from the world. However, the entertainment industry is all about sucking up on people and building relationships. Cha Jooeun, if you continue being the way you are, you will continue to suffer! But I will still continue to support you. Were you the one that got someone to place the recording at the top of search rankings? If you were, then please let me bow down to you!"

It hadn't even been one day and the tables had entirely turned. Of course, onlookers had slowly gotten used to Jooeun's ability to deal with defamation. So they weren't surprised when the tables were turned. But the contents of the recording still got people talking.

The day had just headed into the night. Yeji was sitting on her sofa at home looking angrily at the headline that had been sitting at the top of search rankings. She pulled out her phone and gave Bohyun a call. She instructed him to immediately deal with the news, but he could only respond with "There's no use. Every time I offer to pay, someone offers to pay double."

"Have you found out who it is?" Yeji stood up from the sofa and paced back and forth. "The recording is definitely from Kangjun, but who is the powerful person backing them? Who has Kangjun contacted?"

"I couldn't find anything. Kangjun could have done it on his own, or with Cha Jooeun. The other possibility is that he may have found a partner in crime."

"Didn't you say you had a surefire plan? Didn't you say you were going to destroy Jooeun? Who suffered in the end? Me! Do you know how difficult things were for me when the board of directors heard of the news? I was so tempted to dig a hole to hide inside." Yeji yelled angrily. Because she was so emotional, she felt her stomach knot up in pain as she knelt on the floor.

"Although Kangjun has been in the industry for a long time, even if he was to use his contacts, it wouldn't be as easy as in the past. However, it's not hard for him to find an enemy of yours to work with. So, President Seo, you can no longer delay stripping Kangjun of his role as Cha Jooeun's manager." The first solution Bohyun thought of was to separate Jooeun from Kangjun.

However, they never imagined the person playing them like monkeys is Lee Jeonghwan!

It had always been Lee Jeonghwan!

"Haven't you been planning to poach artists from other agencies? I think Kangjun would be better off doing that. We need to isolate Cha Jooeun before we can think about our next step."

They had just been slapped in the face, yet they were still thinking of their next step.

Yeji lay on the sofa breathing loudly. "Your main priority is to find a way to take down the recording. Afterward, call Kangjun and tell him we will be swapping out Jooeun's manager."

"Understood"

Bohyun was detailed and calm. But sometimes, there were things that a simple Artists Director like himself couldn't change. Sublime's news for example. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't make the other party flinch at all.

London.

YSL's show was about to start. For the past two days, Jooeun had been busy with rehearsals and meetings with YSL's designer. She had been so focused on grasping onto new resources that she did not notice her name had flipped Seoul upside down. Even at this moment, the recording between Kangjun and Yeji was still headlining all news websites. As a result, Sublime suffered a huge blow and their reputation was especially affected. But who could they blame?

Whenever Jooeun had time, she would chat with Jeonghwan on the phone. But never once did he tell her about the entertaining things that were happening back in Seoul.

Because of the recording being exposed, all the paparazzi Yeji hired ended up being dismissed. But this didn't mean Jooeun was free from danger. There was still the clingy Gossip Studio's reporter.

"Are you nervous? Take a deep breath!" Just before the show was to start, Minjung fanned Jooeun as she checked how she was feeling.

Jooeun looked at the chaotic backstage and remained calm. "I am still in disbelief."

This time, no one was trying to steal her finale, no one was there to tear her apart. The stage was all hers for her to bring glory to the models of Asia.

"You can't believe that Yeji hasn't got something planned?" Minjung revealed a huge smile. "Right now she can't even take care of herself, how would she have time to deal with you?"

"What do you mean?"

Minjung did not respond but smiled meaningfully. Of course, she also did not tell her. For the sake of witnessing every single beautiful angle of hers during her most dazzling moment, someone once again left behind all their work and flew all the way to see her. This person was currently sitting in the audience.

Seeing Minjung did not respond, Jooeun did not ask further. She knew she would find out sooner or later.

"Kangjun is still making a phone call outside. I'll go check on him, the show is about to start..."

Minjung was worried Jooeun would continue to question her, so she decided to say she'd look for Kangjun as an excuse. However, at this time, Kangjun's mood was angry and complex.

"It is the agency's decision for you to leave Cha Jooeun. As long as you are still a manager working for Sublime, you will need to listen to the agency's instructions!" On the other side of the phone, Bohyun was firm. "Of course, you have the choice to leave Sublime, but Cha Jooeun is still a model under Sublime, so we will naturally organize a new manager for her. There is no need for you anymore."

"Place more thought on training newcomers. You are more capable than merely producing one successful model like Shin Suhyun. Why must you keep going against Jooeun?" Kangjun couldn't comprehend Bohyun's actions. He couldn't believe that Yeji was actually dismissing him of his role as Jooeun's manager.
