Chapter 4: The Hidden Marriage Relationship

Translator: Yunyi Editor: Yunyi

The media were in a frenzy. What does Taehyung mean by this? Does he have the intention to sign Jennie? Is this some kind of joke?

Whatever the explanation, the reporters no longer dared to latch on to Jennie. Instead, they shifted all blame to Tianyi Entertainment.

Like this, Tianyi Entertainment's troubles began and Tzuyu's assistant had unintentionally been the one that started it. "If you can't even handle such a small matter, what else can you do? Let's wait and see how President Oh will punish you!"

Jennie was unfazed, her expression was one of unexpected calmness. She changed her clothes and casually left the scene. Just as she stepped out of the side door, she spotted Taehyung's sports car parked outside.

"Get in."

Jennie obediently boarded the car. She was exceptionally grateful for what Taehyung had done, "Thank you for today."

Taehyung's eyes slightly twitched as he let out a smirk, "Did you think I would allow someone to bully my newly wedded wife in front of everyone?"

"Actually, I'm not worthy of your help. I intentionally allowed everyone to figure out who I really was," Jennie explained apologetically.

Taehyung looked straight into the eyes of the person sitting across from him, "I know."

"It's just that, if you couldn't have thought of a better way to scheme against someone, you should have asked me. Sacrificing yourself to get back at someone, is a bit of a stupid move, don't you think?"

Jennie: "..."

"Where should I drop you off?"

"Your home. Aren't we a married couple now?" Jennie replied undoubtedly. Since she had already made the decision, she was not going to take it back, nor regret.

"Are you sure? Not only are we married...but tonight is also our wedding night!"

Jennie blushed, but nodded in certainty, "I've already prepared myself and I am very thankful that you did not reveal our relationship. However, from now on, I insist you remain neutral. I want to rely on myself to retrieve what is rightfully mine."

Taehyung did not insist. After all, it was rare to see a woman that did not use him as a stepping stone to benefit themselves. He decided to sit back and watch Jennie show off her skills.

The couple set off. Not long after, Jennie received a phone call from her manager, Kim Jisoo, "Jennie, I have already found evidence of Tzuyu's pregnancy. What do you want me to do with it? Also, the scene you caused at the jewelry show today has gone viral. People are condemning you all over the internet. What do you plan to do?"

"Jisoo, are you willing to stay by my side?"

"Why are you asking such nonsense?" Jisoo mumbled, "Did you expect me to continue following that cheating couple?"

"Then release the statement I asked you to prepare earlier. But be warned, by doing this, you will be going up against Tianyi Entertainment!"

"I'm not afraid!" Jisoo exclaimed excitedly. "We should have done this sooner. I will go prepare the evidence now and release it before Oh Sehun has the chance to respond."

Jennie hung up and the car returned to its original peacefulness. Deep down, Jennie was actually quite nervous. What did Taehyung think of her...

"I..."

"No need to explain. Your conversation just now, I heard it all. However, I have one question…have you always been this honest?" the car had stopped at a red light and Taehyung took this opportunity to grab hold of Jennie's jaw, examining her with his eagle-like gaze.

"I am only honest in front of you and I intend for it to stay this way…" - Jennie revealed her loyalty - "…because I am afraid you may misunderstand and think badly of me."

Taehyung was surprised for a moment, before he continued speaking, "If I were you, I would be even more extreme!"

Taehyung must have guessed by now what was going on between Jennie, Tzuyu and Sehun. Because of his reaction, Jennie developed an appreciation for her new husband. She vowed to herself, no matter what was to happen she was going to remember this day and the promises she made to Taehyung forever.

Meanwhile, Sehun was in disbelief as he received news of Jennie’s exposure on stage. Not only that, at that moment, he also received a phone call from hf, notifying him of their intention to take Tianyi Entertainment to court for breaching their contract. In an instant, Tianyi Entertainment had gotten themselves into a heap of trouble while rumors were spreading all over the internet like wildfire.

Tzuyu was focused on the recording of Jennie’s performance on stage as she pulled Sehun towards her, "Look, Tangning wanted to be recognized. She knew the biggest difference between her and I are our legs. She did it on purpose!"

"Tzuyu, Jennie isn’t like that. It’s not like it’s the first time she’s substituted for you," deep down Sehun still trusted Jennie.

"So what you’re saying is that you trust Jennie more? Don’t be stupid Sehun! Now this incident has happened, someone has to take the blame. Do you really want to lose this contract? Do you want to tell everyone that you were the one that asked Jennie to substitute me? If that’s the case, then we are doomed!"

"What are you suggesting?"

"Since you and Jennie are getting married soon, she will no longer be a part of the industry. For the sake of Tianyi Entertainment, you need to make an announcement. You need to tell everyone that you were unaware of this entire incident and everything was just Jennie's attempt at creating hype; that’s why she went behind our backs and pretended to be me." Tzuyu was completely throwing the blame onto Jennie.

"I guess, under these circumstances, that is all we can do" Sehun nodded in agreement. However, just as he was trying to contact the head of PR, he received a call from his assistant.

"Quick, President Oh, check the entertainment news headlines! Jennie’s manager has just revealed some big news!"

Sehun quickly jumped online to search the headlines. To his disbelief, Jennie's manager was already a step ahead of them. She revealed that Sehun had forced Jennie to substitute Tzuyu multiple times in the past with comparison pictures of the two models as proof. She also complained that small companies tend to bully people and revealed that Jennie had been bullied for many years.

In anger, Sehun quickly contacted Jennie’s manager.

"Kim Jisoo, are you crazy?"

On the other side of the phone, Jisoo’s laughter resounded. Calmly she responded, "I’ve wanted to leave this lousy company of yours for a long time."

"Sehun, this is definitely Jennie’s doing. Quick, let’s cover it up by posting news of her creating hype!"

Without hesitation, Sehun immediately contacted his connections in the media and got Jisoo’s news taken down. He quickly replaced it with the news he had prepared earlier of Jennie's attempts at creating hype.

In an instant, ‘Jennie’ and ‘Tianyi Entertainment’ became the most searched terms online with mixed responses.

No one was aware of the relationship between Jennie and Taehyung. So, compared to Jennie, no one was brave enough to offend Oh Sehun.

Jennie definitely received the shorter end of the stick, attracting an unbelievable amount of insults online.

Just as everyone thought the tables had turned, the term ‘Jennie substitute’ suddenly jumped to the top of search rankings. Search results all led to the news Jisoo had released earlier – revealing that Jennie was the real victim…

Of course, Jisoo’s story had got out first and the netizens had already made their decision. On top of everything, the fact that Jennie had substituted Tzuyu so many times without causing any trouble and was continually being used became the hot topic online. The online community all agreed Jennie was indeed the victim.

In disbelief, Sehun picked up his phone and contacted his PR, ordering them to use more money to take down Jennie's news.

Meanwhile, Taehyung was on the phone with the main news sources, "If the news of Jennie disappears from search rankings, then be prepared for your companies to close down."
