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

77

Although they were merely once lovers, he couldn't deny that they had been together for 5 years. So, regardless of their separation, he had no reason to hurt his ex.

Ian stared at the magazine in front of him. For a moment he felt he was about to give up on an international superstar. He reached out his hand and flipped the magazine over, afraid that he would feel regret.

Seeing this, CL let out a sigh of relief. She crossed her arms across her chest, "Since it's decided, I'll let you in on a little secret. I've already contacted the reporter that's been following Mr. Lee around. He has agreed to release news that he has photos of Jennie and Mr. Lee in bed. I've even found photos with similarities. Since you've decided to disobey President Kim's orders, then we can only push Jennie further down so the president won't punish you."

Ian stared at the computer monitor in front of him as he moved the mouse. His voice was cold and filled with ridicule, "There is no 'we', it's just you. This will be the last time you use our past to get what you want. I will prevent Jennie this once, but what happens in the future is not up to me and whatever you plan to do has nothing to do with me."

"You..."

"Our objectives are different, so we can never get along. If you're done I need to get back to work."

Ian had already suggested he didn't want her around, so CL had no choice but to leave. In reality, she still had feelings for Ian, but the two of them were ambiguous in too many ways. CL was the type of person with no bottom line, she would do anything to achieve her goals. However, Ian was disgusted by her methods. So, in the past two years, the relationship between the two was like fire and water.

After leaving Ian's office, CL immediately phoned the reporter, "I can't wait anymore, release the news."

"OK, sit back and enjoy the show," the man on the other side of the phone was filled with excitement.

If everything CL had previously done to defame Jennie was because she had stolen her model's runway show in France, then this time, it was because she needed to take precautionary action. With her qualifications and professionalism, if Jennie was to join YG, she would snatch away a lot of jobs. If that was to happen, the models under CL's control would lose at least half their opportunities - she couldn't allow this to happen.

Above all, it was possible that Jennie already knew CL was the one that had been secretly scheming against her.

...

Because of TQ's rapid sales, Jennie's fans felt like she had once again given them a pleasant surprise. A whole heap of presents were delivered to Jennie via her Official Fan Club; Jisoo received them and made sure they were safe before handing them to her.

Late at night. Jennie was napping atop Lisa's chest. Lisa had his right arm around Jennie as he gently ran his fingers down the curves of her back. His left hand was currently browsing through Jennie's emails on his phone. At this moment he discovered a suspicious email, "Nini...look at this."

"Huh?" Jennie lifted her head gently and took the phone from Lisa's hand. There was an anonymous email, that simply read, "Take note of people scheming behind your back."

"Lili, what are your thoughts?" Seeing this unusual warning, Jennie couldn't imagine who was trying to help her and what type of scheming they would be referring to.

"With the popularity of TQ, more people have started to pay attention to you; you are bound to snatch someone else's opportunities. If we think back about the recent defamation incident, the person that did the most scheming was CL from YG. Regardless of whether this warning is related to CL, you must first focus on doing your best..."
