"Things aren't going to go the way that you planned," Jennie gave a gentle laugh as she spoke to Gu Heng without a trace of panic or anger. Seeing this, Gu Heng started to feel doubtful of herself.

"Tell me, why are you always so calm, no matter what happens?"

"That's because I know that evil will never prevail," Jennie laughed in ridicule. "At least, in my world, I have yet to come across anyone that's done something bad successfully."

Gu Heng could not see through Jennie, but she knew that Jennie had already seen through her.

When it came to intelligence, she would never beat Jennie; not even in her next life. But, she refused to believe that Jennie could overcome all obstacles. Everyone was bound to have bad luck at some point in their lives.

"I know Qiusheng's actions aren't beneficial to any of us. But, I will still give my all to protect him." After speaking, Gu Heng left and Jennie returned to her room.

It seemed, Gu Heng had not found out that Bai Qiusheng was getting replaced yet.

Jennie wondered: what was the point of challenging her, when in the end, they would be left with nothing?

That night, Rosé made a phone call to check on the situation, "What happened this time? What's up with the old man? You're such a magnet for gossip; as soon as something can't be explained, you're up there on the hottest searches."

"Someone did all this on purpose..." Jennie explained helplessly before she recapped everything that had happened on set. After hearing the whole story, Rosé was in an uproar.

"What's wrong with your luck? Since the male lead and supporting actress are a couple, they will definitely try to kick you out of the cast. Why hasn't anyone considered who would benefit after you leave?" Rosé sighed, "However, I'm already used to seeing you come across obstacles in everything you do. If nothing goes wrong, then you wouldn't be Jennie."

"What has the director said about this issue?"

"They are looking for a replacement," Jennie replied.

"Are they replacing you?"

"They are replacing Bai Qiusheng," Jennie laughed at Rosé's high pitched response.

"Good..." Rosé breathed a sigh of relief. "If I wasn't trying to get pregnant, I would be following by your side every day. What kind of assistant did Boss hire for you? She doesn't seem to be handling matters seriously."

"Just focus on getting pregnant. Don't worry about my problems."

"Since nothing is actually wrong, then I'm of course not worried. It's just, continuously hearing rumors about you and Boss getting a divorce, is really firing me up."

Jennie understood that Rosé truly cared about her, so she let her continue nagging for a while before she finally hung up.

Afterwards, she received a phone call from Lisa. The first thing he said as she picked up the phone was, "Who were you talking to for so long? I kept trying to call, but it couldn't get through..."

"Guess," Jennie replied in a cheeky tone.

"Chaeng," Lisa assumed, "I was only teasing."

"Regarding the rumor, we originally suppressed it, but then Bai Qiusheng stepped out again to say a few words, reigniting the flame."

"I'm prepared for the backlash," Jennie replied calmly. "Hubby...if Bai Qiusheng didn't have bad intentions, I would have enjoyed seeing his relationship with Gu Heng. Gu Heng is the type of woman that is willing to do anything for Bai Qiusheng. I can tell how helpless she must feel."
