Trial Marriage Husband: Need to Work Hard || Taennie Adaptation

Chapter 2: Striking Back at the Cheating Couple

And thus began the fall of a supermodel...

But, from the looks of it, Jennie's story did not end there.

...

In all honesty, Jennie had never realized she was so brave - she had actually married a stranger! But, what was done was done, she would never regret her decision.

Jennie returned to her car. Just as she was about to start the engine and head home, she received a phone call from Baekhyun.

"Jennie...where are you right now?"

"In front of the Civil Affairs Office, about to go home," Jennie replied casually, hiding her emotions.

"Seulgi has a very important show...I need you to substitute her immediately. I'll tell the makeup artist to provide you with a mask - no one will be able to tell it is you," Baekhyun ordered with the tone of a superior. "Since Seulgi is injured, you will have to suffer a little..."

"Didn't you say Miss Kang got hurt on stage? In that case, the media should already know she is at the hospital..."

"But, I have already asked someone to let it slip that she will still be attending even with her injuries. I told you to go, so go!"

He was so shameless. In the past, Jennie had already done stupid things like this for Seulgi.

As it seems, she was being used. However, she wasn't going to continue this way!

Jennie stayed calm and nodded, "OK, let me know the time and address, I'll head over there now."

"Jennie, we are about to get married. Help give Seulgi a bit of a boost, her career is currently on the rise."

"I'll give her a boost for sure..." Jennie responded with a hidden meaning.

"I'll hang up then. Let's have dinner later."

Baekhyun had no idea the tables had turned, presumably now, he would be sitting by Seulgi's bedside, watching over his lover tenderly...Jennie hung up the phone before giving her manager a call. Her manager immediately responded in anger:

"President Byun wants you to step in for that B-Grade model? Is he joking? If you didn't decide to retreat from the spotlight, she would not even survive in the industry."

"Nayeon, I've already agreed..." Jennie replied calmly.

"Do you really have to go?" Her manager was about to spew blood in disbelief. Jennie and Seulgi were both models signed under Tianyi Entertainment, but because of Jennie's decision to retreat, her manager was dragged down with her and ridiculed.

Jennie knew her manager wanted to stick up for her injustice. Reassuringly she responded, "I won't be that stupid anymore, I will not let them use me!"

After hearing those words from Jennie, her manager's face lit up, "So, are you saying you have a plan?"

"Nayeon, from now on I can only trust in you, can you help me do something?"

"Speak." Her manager was loyal to her. After all, they shared the same objective.

"Seulgi is so desperate to convince the media that she is attending the show even with her injuries because she doesn't want it to impact her eligibility for the 'Top Ten Model Awards'. Help me pay a visit to Tian He Hospital."

"I see what you're getting at. Obtain evidence that she was still at the hospital during the show and reveal it to the public!" the manager smiled excitedly.

"No, I have bigger news. She's pregnant! and the child is Baekhyun's. Also, help me prepare a statement stating that Byun Baekhyun has used me multiple times to substitute Kang Seulgi during her shows. As for which shows? I will need you to help me find evidence for that."

The manager was surprised at first, but quickly understood why Jennie's attitude had changed. Such a shameless cheating couple! Not only did they cheat, but they also used Jennie - ordering her around like a puppet.

"Don't worry Jennie, I will help you do all these things."

Jennie did not respond. She felt unusually calm. She was going to treat them like they had treated her!

After clearing her thoughts, Jennie quickly gathered her belongings and drove herself over to the venue for the show to meet up with Seulgi's assistant.

He was a married man with a strong bulky physique and a cunning personality.

He was reasonably polite to Jennie. Even though she was no longer famous, the Choi family was still not one to be looked down upon.

"What took you so long? Quick...come and get your makeup done..."

"What type of show is it today?" Jennie asked as she was hurried down the hallway.

"Nothing special!" the assistant replied. In fact, it was actually a jewelry show for the famous French brand: hf...

After this show, Seulgi would have the opportunity to sign on as hf's spokesperson. Originally, Seulgi would have lost her opportunity due to her injuries, but with Baekhyun's suggestion of using Jennie, Seulgi certainly had no objections.

Actually, on her way to the show, Jennie had already done her research on today's show: The Crown's Star Jewelry Show.

Seulgi's assistant had intentionally lied to her. Had she always been this easy to trick?

"Thanks to Seulgi's current status, you have your own makeup room. You will appear in the grand finale and this is the piece of jewelry you will be presenting today. Here is the schedule..." the assistant explained as he pointed to the jewelry on the stage. He then ordered the makeup artist to start applying Jennie's makeup.

Did Baekhyun really think that by giving her a mask, people would not be able to tell it's her?

Although what she had in mind was quite extreme, she was going to give the cheating couple a surprise of a lifetime.

Meanwhile, Taehyung's assistant had been following Jennie's every move and overheard that she would be substituting Kang Seulgi in the show. Immediately he reported everything to Taehyung. As soon as Taehyung found out, he ordered his assistant, "I am going to hf's jewelry show. Make arrangements immediately!"

"Yes, president!"

This wasn't a particularly special show, but he wanted to see Jennie in action.

...

11am, classical music resounded off the walls of the Hai Yi Centre, the show had begun.

Inside the makeup room, Jennie's makeup was complete and she was now standing in front of the mirror in anticipation. Wearing a white tight-fitting long dress, simple but classy, adorning a beautiful golden mask giving off a mysterious aura, hair tied back away from her face with a single white rose - she was absolutely stunning...

The assistant was speechless. Inside he was thinking: Even if Jennie was to stand still, she would surely attract the attention of everyone around her. Seulgi will get the contract for certain!

"You will descend onto the stage via a chair that will be lowered from above. This bracelet here is the Crown's Star, let me put it on for you." The assistant unclasped the bracelet and carefully put it on Jennie. However...Jennie was slimmer than Seulgi, resulting in the bracelet being too big. With a lift of her arm, the bracelet would slide around...

This bracelet was designed by the founder of hf for his beloved daughter. In the middle of the golden bracelet was a crown encrusted with white diamond. On the two sides of the crown were two stars made from a pure and immaculate white gemstone - just like two parents protecting their precious child.

"There's no way for you to wear it...what should I do?"

"Do you trust me?" Jennie suddenly asked Seulgi's assistant.

"At this moment, I can only trust you," the assistant nodded. Without a solution, he could only trust the model. This was Seulgi's opportunity at being a spokesperson, if he messed it up, President Byun would definitely fire him.

"In that case, leave it with me..." Jennie reassured.

"Hurry, get ready...you will be going on stage soon!"

Amongst all the commotion, the assistant did not take notice of the look in Jennie's eyes.
