Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 3)

"Since you're pretty much certain that Annie did this, but she still hasn't confronted you, the answer is simple. She mustn't have achieved her motive yet."

"If she does something even worse, it will be because you are still keeping her in close proximity, allowing her to observe your every move."

After hearing Jennie's words, So Hyun felt her knees go weak. Although she had witnessed many incidences in the industry, when she actually had to deal with it first hand, she didn't know how to handle it.

She was normally wild and arrogant, but when it boiled down to a critical moment, she was weak and of no help.

"What should I do?" So Hyun asked Jennie. "How can I prevent Sung-jae from being implicated?"

"What? Are you beginning to feel that you treated him a bit unfairly in the past?" Jennie chuckled.

So Hyun was caught off guard by Jennie's question as she began to question the cause of her worries.

She was well aware that Sung-jae was talented, whereas, she was just a non-ambitious stunt double. If Sung-jae's reputation was destroyed by the scandals this time, she would probably live the rest of her life in guilt. She did not like the feeling of owing others.

"Jenjen, can you tell me how I can help Sung-jae?"

"You don't need to do anything. Just wait patiently and that's already enough," Jennie replied. "Don't give Annie the chance to attack you nor Sung-jae again."

"Am I supposed​ to do nothing then?"

"At a time like this, there's nothing you can do."

Jennie was very straightforward. Her words were like a warning directed at So Hyun's selfishness. If she continued being the way she was, then not only Sung-jae, but many others would also suffer.

"OK then, I won't do anything," So Hyun said before she hung up the phone. Afterwards, she had the urge to give Sung-jae a phone call, but she quickly realized, she would be of no help.

So, she entered the living room and analyzed the space instead. According to the angle from which the scandalous photo was taken, the culprit was definitely standing in the doorway of Annie's room.

So Hyun held back her anger and knocked calmly on Annie's​ bedroom door.

Behind the door, Annie was holding onto her phone. As soon as the door opened, she handed the phone to So Hyun, "The situation has escalated. Director Chen Feng has announced that he has canceled Mr. Yook's contract for 'Concubine Ning'. According to the current rate of progression, I'm afraid Mr. Yook will go through a long period with no work."

After looking at the latest news article, So Hyun handed the phone back to Annie and pulled out her own phone to interrogate her, "Only from this spot and from this height could someone manage to capture this logo in this way. Am I right?"

Annie looked at the comparison photo that So Hyun took from her doorway and fell silent.

"Even if you don't admit to it, I can find more evidence. You can stop acting, Annie."

Annie lifted her head; her eyes were red like she was trying to endure something. But, a moment later...

...she nodded her head and laughed. Her laugh was extremely arrogant, "So what if it was me? Does it still matter who exposed everything?"

"Perhaps, you can hold a press conference and tell everyone that I planned everything. Do you think anyone would believe you?"

So Hyun did not say a word. She simply threw a punch directly into Annie's face and knocked her onto the floor, "I know you hate me, but why would you treat Sung-jae this way?"
