Trial Marriage Husband (Pangyo Couple version)

Chapter 194: Because of Guilt

Amongst the multiple shutter sounds, Kangjun faced the reporters and public calmly. The corners of his lips curved upwards with a questionable smile. The last time he had stood in front of such a large audience was years ago when Jiwon became the international spokesperson for LV. As for today, he was here for himself. He was going to be reborn.

It's already 3:20 PM. The press conference officially started. Sublime's staff maintained order as the reporters were given 15 minutes to ask questions.

Yeji stepped up on the stage and looked around. "Friends of the media, you have worked hard. In regards to the viral headline regarding Sublime, we will provide a complete explanation today. Sublime has gotten to where it is today with its own abilities and hard work. Recently, because of a particular reason, one of our models was unexpectedly suppressed. And now, I have been unreasonably dragged into the gossip. I haven't stepped out to say anything from the start because I believe in justice. I also believe that evil will eventually be put to an end."

As Yeji spoke, Kangjun was standing by her side. For a moment he really wanted to ask her how she could be so shameless to say something like that.

Don't you feel embarrassed at all?

Yeji's words suggested that Jooeun was behind Sublime's crisis. Sublime had been advancing at a stable rate all along, but with Jooeun's appearance, Sublime was surrounded by gossip.

"Following on, please welcome our ex-top-manager, Seo Kangjun to the stage to explain the recording that's been in the headlines. I'm sure he will give everyone a satisfactory explanation."

After speaking, Yeji took a step back. However, at this time, one of the reporters suddenly asked. "President Seo, I roughly understand what you are trying to say. You are trying to suggest, all the gossip Sublime has experienced lately has a definite relation to your newly signed model, Cha Jooeun right?"

Wow! Her true intention had been completely seen through.

Everyone looked at the reporter and back at the stunned Yeji. They originally thought she would at least deny it and let the situation remain ambiguous. After all, Cha Jooeun was a model she had personally signed and had even held a grand contract signing ceremony for. If she suddenly started insulting her, wouldn't it be an embarrassing sight?

But Yeji did not explain nor say anything. She simply gave a mysterious smile. Since everyone already understood her, was it necessary for her to point out the obvious?

A moment later, Yeji placed her dark gaze on Kangjun. Apart from dealing with him, her motive today was to attack Jooeun! While Jooeun was still overseas and couldn't retaliate, she was going to catch her off guard.

Did you think that just because you successfully walked the JK show, you'd have a smooth path to success? There's no such thing. Nothing in this world is so easy.

From Yeji's reaction, the reporters figured out the motive behind the press conference. It was obvious she wanted to destroy Cha Jooeun. Everyone in the industry had already sensed there was an internal battle happening in Sublime. So no matter what Yeji was to say today, her intention was to defame Cha Jooeun and push her to her destruction.

"Kangjun?" She gestured Kangjun to speak with a deep and threatening voice. After hearing Yeji call his name, he nodded before turning to face the reporters.

"Today, I will give everyone an explanation. Regarding the recording sitting at the top of headlines, the truth is..."

"Before I expose this secret, allow me to speak about an unrelated topic." Just as Kangjun was about to get to the main point, he suddenly changed the topic and smiled at everyone. "I already can't remember how long I've been in this career. From a mere assistant to what I have become today, I can't recount how many times I've had to stand on a stage like this and say things that make me feel disgusted. Before I tell everyone the truth, I want to mention a person that everyone has forgotten about: Kim Jiwon."

The reporters looked at each other. They didn't understand why Kangjun was suddenly mentioning Kim Jiwon. Of course, the person that was looking the most uncomfortable was Yeji. She suddenly realized how out of control Kangjun was. She was feeling a bit worried.

"As everyone is aware, Jiwon passed away because of a car accident. On that day, we had a huge argument before she sped out onto the road and eventually hit a barrier. She died on-site and I was seriously injured. At that time, Sublime completely covered up the situation and I was naive enough to think they were doing it for my own good. But only now do I know, they covered up the situation because of guilt."

"Kangjun, do you know what you are saying?" Yeji suddenly asked as she grabbed his arm.

He just let out a gentle laugh and lowered his voice. "Didn't you want me to tell the truth? I will do as you say, don't be impatient."

After speaking, he pulled himself away from Yeji's grip and continued. "They felt guilty because Jiwon's death was their doing. Firstly, our dearest President Seo secretly stalked Jiwon and me to obtain evidence. Afterward, my two friends, Ahn Bohyun and Park Hyomin exposed the evidence to the media. Finally, the car accident happened. Doesn't that all sound exciting?"

The reporters obviously did not expect Kangjun to say such words – they didn't expect him to expose something that had happened so long ago.

Yeji suddenly realized Kangjun's motive for appearing on stage and immediately ordered Bohyun to call for people to remove him from the stage. But Kangjun continued to speak.

"Do you all know what the reason was? It was because of envy. It was because of her envy towards her own models that she thought of multiple ways to control them. Years ago, it was Kim Jiwon. And now it is Cha Jooeun."

"Jiwon's incident happened a long time ago. So long that I almost forgot about Yeji's methods. But the recording in the headlines is the best evidence. Because it is completely real. I still have the original recording in my phone."

Bohyun approached the stage with security. They wanted to remove Kangjun from the scene, even if they had to resort to violence. In front of the reporters, they punched and kicked him. However, Kangjun couldn't be hurt easily, so Bohyun called for more people.

At this time, Yeji calmly announced that the press conference was over. But just as everyone nervously watched the scene before them, a tall figure appeared at Sublime's entrance.

It was a person that was meant to be in London.
