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

59

The star-studded Bright Night Gala finally revealed itself to the public. Outside the venue lay a magnificently long red carpet and a signing wall.

The scene was surrounded by excited reporters and fans; they were either holding phones, cameras or LED signs. The signs had the names of their idols on it and they flashed like stars in a vast night sky.

In front of the signing wall, stood the smartly dressed event hosts, each holding a microphone, recording their opening speeches. It had been a long time since an event of this caliber had been hosted in Beijing and this event signified the start of a series of awards ceremonies.

8pm. Superstars started arriving one by one. Amongst the loud screams, Kai held onto Krystal's hand accompanied by Kim Hyo Yeon as they walked down the red carpet. No matter if it was the 'American Blacklisted Kim Hyo Yeon' or the 'Krystal who had an affair with Kai', Kim Entertainment was a popular topic of discussion.

But, Jennie was missing!

The Jennie that was riding the popularity of the Oriental Trend.

The Jennie that had defeated Krystal in an instant and made her have zero mentions.

The Jennie that was announced as ISN's first Asian spokesperson.

She did not attend!

The hosts were confused; they were sure Jennie's name was on the invite list.

"Walking up the red carpet right now, we have the CEO of Kim Entertainment, Kim Jongin; the famed model, Krystal and the extremely skillful Kim Hyo Yeon."

"Please come on stage so we can give you a short interview," the hosts invited them onto the stage and immediately took the opportunity to ask them a sensitive question, "May we ask why Jennie...isn't here today?"

"Or have President Kim and Jennie decided to arrive separately?"

Kai furrowed his eyebrows, ready to respond, however, Kim Hyo Yeon stepped in first and replied, "We notified Jennie, but maybe because of a lack of communication lately, she hasn't been able to tell you that she has decided not to appear at the Bright Night Gala. Kim Entertainment also wishes, from now on, no matter her decision, she can notify us earlier."

After hearing Kim Hyo Yeon's reply, the hosts could tell Jennie and Kim Entertainment were at odds. Especially with the tone Kim Hyo Yeon used when she spoke about Jennie not attending, she seemed to be accusing Jennie of being arrogant and selfish because of her popularity.

"I think Jennie might just be unwell, it's OK, we are looking forward to the next gathering!" One of the hosts tried his best to smooth out the situation.

But it was obvious to anyone with eyes what Kim Entertainment's true motive was behind accusing Jennie. Judging by the previous incidents, if they were to choose someone to trust between Kim Entertainment and Jennie, the two hosts would not hesitate to choose Jennie.

Kai's betrayal, Krystal's pressuring and Kim Entertainment's multiple methods of suppression did not crush this woman. So, it wasn't easy for Jennie to stay strong and get to where she was today. Most impressive of all, she was extremely easy going and kept a low profile.

Gazing out at the crowd, signs with Jennie's name could be seen. Upon hearing Kim Hyo Yeon's words, they were tempted to run up on stage and tear her mouth out.

They were sure they knew what type of person Jennie was...

The Jennie that had received so much suppression, yet assured them to wait for her patiently, had always been grateful for everything she had; there was no way she wouldn't attend the Bright Night Gala.

Kim Entertainment is defaming Jennie; Kim Hyo Yeon should die!

"You are lying...Kim Entertainment is lying!" a fan who couldn't restrain himself screamed out. However, because the scene was so noisy, his voice was lost amongst the crowd.
