Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 1)

52

"They were organized by Jennie...otherwise, why would they only pay attention to her and humiliate me?" Krystal whispered.

After hearing the translation, a smirk appeared across Mina's face, "Originally, today was a day worthy of celebrating, so I didn't want to argue with you. But Miss Jung, I've never seen a magazine with two models on the cover, where one model becomes the hottest topic and the other practically receives zero mentions."

"Zero..."

"Do you know what that means? It means, as well as the people present, anyone in the US or even the world that has seen this magazine - did not notice your existence."

The translator translated for Krystal, word for word...

After hearing the translation, Krystal's face turned pale...

"This is impossible! This must be a conspiracy between the two of you. This is all your doing..." Krystal found it hard to believe; she was definitely on the front cover of the magazine, how could she receive no mentions?

This couldn't be true...

"Are you not aware of your own abilities? Before this issue was released, we were already prepared to accept that you would merely serve as a contrast. But who would have thought, instead of being a contrast, you stooped to the level of being part of the backdrop - without even a trace of existence..." Mina took out a copy of Secret and handed it to Krystal.

If not for attending this dinner, Krystal would have still acknowledged her own existence.

But after hearing everyone calling her part of the backdrop...

...her confidence came crashing down.

Jennie was so good at adapting to her surroundings that Krystal was made to look like part of the background. Above all, Jennie's eyes were so lively that Krystal's arrogant stare looked lifeless in comparison...

This was the reason Krystal had no mentions!

Because no one could tell she was alive!

Krystal held onto the magazine as she took a few steps back. If not for Kai holding onto her, she would have fallen off the stage.

"I heard in China, there is an article comparing you to Bae Suzy...If I were you, I would hide in the US for the rest of my life, because I would be too ashamed to go back."

Krystal looked like she had been struck by lightning...her mind was blank as she stared at herself on the cover. This couldn't be...everyone had previously praised her on her skills, there was no way she couldn't compare to Jennie. This is impossible, Jennie must have done something...she must have...

"Jennie, I never thought you would sabotage me in this way!" Krystal accused Jennie angrily.

Kai glared at Jennie, "For the sake of revenge, you would really go to any length."

"Revenge?" Jennie smiled sweetly. "President Kim, tell me, a person like myself, with no background and no top class manager, that even got her clothes snatched from her, what lengths can I go to?"

"You..."

"Was I the one that caused her to receive no mentions? It was obviously because she wasn't skilled enough..."

"Also, was I the one that made her too ashamed to return to China? It was because you guys shamelessly used someone else's fame to boost her..."

"If you consider this revenge...then the real revenge is yet to come." After speaking, Jennie and Mina looked at each other before Mina welcomed the representatives from ISN onto the stage.
