The Wicked Wife 2

Chapter 153: Finally Home

A week later, Jennie finally managed to return to Qiying City, much to her relief. She hadn't expected that their schedule would be pushed too far back to her liking. What she had thought would be a day or three delay had turned into a week of enduring the wait to go home.

Thankfully, the photoshoot had been successful this time, as Bellissima made a drastic decision to fire Liao Yang's whole photography crew and file necessary legal charges against them.

Jennie had no doubt that Liao Yang's reputation would suffer from it, as it would make companies like Bellissima wary of hiring him because of the attempted assault he committed against her and the fact that his crew was trying to mess with the company's model.

Luo Cheng didn't dare to mess up for the second time as she was harshly reprimanded by Irene for starting such a mess which could drag her name to the mud. It was one of those rare times that Luo Cheng witnessed the gentle mannered Irene speak harshly out of anger.

"But I did it for you…" Luo Cheng would never admit that she was in the wrong here. It was Soo Yang's fault for even thinking that she was in the same league with Irene.

"I don't care!" Irene snapped at her. "Do you see it now? Bellissima isn't pleased with us at the moment, and I would have no doubt if they reported this event to the company."

"Didn't the CEO say that you should beat Soo Yang and harm Jennie's reputation in the process?" Luo Cheng insisted.

This somewhat angered Irene further as she looked at her manager, her eyes ablaze.

"Luo Cheng, do you think I am someone who would allow another person to use me as a blade? Do you think that just because Golden Star has been the one I'm working with at the moment, I am bound to listen to whatever they say?"

"N-no… I didn't mean it that way…" Luo Cheng didn't expect that Irene would react like this. She used to ignore things like this before.

"If you know, then please stop giving me problems. It would be my reputation that would be at stake, not yours. You should know better." Irene frowned, before turning her back to her manager.

Luo Cheng lowered her head in shame, because she knew what Irene just said was right. By scheming against Soo Yang, others might think that it was Irene who initiated it and her talent would have to take the blame.

Because of this, Luo Cheng didn't try to stir any more trouble and allowed the new schedule of photoshoot to proceed with another photography crew that Bellissima sent. However, Luo Cheng couldn't understand the sudden interest Irene had in Jennie, as if she knew the young woman, but she didn't dare to question Irene about it.

Now that the photoshoot for the campaign was done, both parties returned to Qiying City and proceeded with their own schedules. From the corner of her eye, Luo Cheng noticed that Irene had been staring at Jennie longer than usual. It really makes her wonder what was going on with her talent.

Jennie's team was walking ahead of them, but was quite slowed down by the sudden flock of fans that heard the news of Soo Yang and Irene arrival that day.

Jennie lifted her right arm to cover her face from the blinding light of the camera flashes aimed at them. For Soo Yang and Irene, this was a good thing since it could hype up the interest on the campaign they were collaborating with Bellissima, but for Jennie, this was nothing but an annoying part of being a popular celebrity.

No matter how exhausted or sick celebrities were, they could only smile and pretend to be okay whenever cameras were pointed towards them.

"Miss Lee, let's separate here." Jennie heard Soo Yang say as they walked to the arrival area of the airport. "I know you've been waiting to come home. Yeri and I would be fine from here. We'll just be waiting for our ride to come pick us up." She said, as they tried to push through the crowd.
