Unbreakable love bond

What Ruoxue said was indeed the truth. During the entire time that she tried to frame Nayeon, the person that benefited the most was Nayeon, followed by Crown Empire Entertainment.

After being mentioned by Crown Empire, Nayeon's fame increased dramatically while she gained more fans. At the same time, Crown Empire reconfirmed their status in the industry; killing THREE birds with one stone.

Night hit. Nayeon returned home to find Jeongyeon pacing back and forth outside the front door. She turned to him questioningly, "Jeongyeon, why aren't you going inside?"

"Madam, you're back." Upon seeing Nayeon, Jeongyeon  seemed to have seen his savior as his eyes lit up.

"What's wrong?"

"The president's mood isn't too good today..."

"Why?" Nayeon looked at  and understood he was afraid of getting in trouble with Jaemin, so she assured him, "Don't worry, speak, I will handle this matter carefully."

"It's because of Crown Empire's statement. The higher-ups felt it wasn't necessary to mention your name and boost your exposure; there was a disagreement," Jeongyeon explained, "Of course, they weren't brave enough to stop the president, but..."

Nayeon's heart sunk. She understood what Jeongyeon was trying to say, "It's ok, I will comfort her."

Even a small company like jeon had their power struggles, so of course, Crown Empire was no different.

Obviously, Jaemin 's authority was being questioned and she was the one that ignited it.

After Jeongyeon left, Nayeon calmed down and entered the villa. Upon seeing Jaemin standing by the study room window drinking wine, she gently approached her and reached out her arms to hug Jaemin from behind, "President Kim, you appear to be upset."

"Did Jeongyeon say something?" Jaemin guessed. "It's not a big deal; nothing to be upset about."

"To you, I am your wife, so it's normal for you to be biased towards me. But, to the staff at Crown Empire, I am not related to you at all, so it's expected that they would have their opinions," Nayeon said gently.

"That's not the main issue," Jaemin turned around and put down her wine glass as she wrapped Nayeon in her embrace.

"Is it because someone wants to challenge your power?" Just the thought of this made Nayeon hug Jaemin tighter, "You're well aware that there are so many people eyeing your position, how could you help me in such a high-profile way. min min, I won't allow you to do this again. This time, it has made you unhappy, but what about next time? This incident with Ruoxue, I know you had it all figured. You had been waiting for this opportunity for a long time and the photo at the Bright Night Gala was it. But, it wasn't necessary for you to prove my innocence in your statement; don't do it again."

"Are you complaining that I was meddling in your business?" Jaemin's expression was slightly disappointed.

Nayeon froze for a moment before grabbing hold of Jaemin's hand and placing it atop her heart. She looked at her seriously as she spoke, "It hurts here. Everyone knows you are like a king; you are beyond reach. But I know, behind you is an abyss waiting for you to fall into."

"I, Nayeon, am not worthy. Even if I was to accept your help, it would be the day when everyone acknowledges my abilities."

"The entertainment industry is a dark place, I can't just accept your protection as if I deserve it. While people are attacking you, I can't just sit still. There's nothing else I can do, can't I at least protect your heart?"
