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

Chapter 55: Taking Over Jennie?

After hearing this, Byun Risa’s mind went blank...before it exploded...

"President, let me explain…"

"What is there to explain? You used the resources provided by the company to help your brother, did you think we wouldn’t find out? Secret was originally one of our resources. If one of our own models appeared on the front cover this issue, the Oriental Trend would have been under our own control, but what did you do instead? Byun Risa, prepare the compensation for breaching your contract." After speaking, he hung up the phone; not allowing Byun Risa the chance to redeem herself.

Byun Risa was dumbfounded as she dropped her arms. Her mouth continuously mumbled similar words, "It’s over…everything is over. My career…is also over."

"Jie…what happened?"

"It was all because of you!" Byun Risa screamed with all her might, "Because of you, I was fired. On top of that, I have to pay 10 million dollars for breaching my contract…10 million US DOLLARS!"

Baekhyun and Seulgi were stunned…they never expected the consequences would be so dire.

"Not only that, I will also be blacklisted. Do you know what that means? It means…in the US, I can no longer make a living here. All the effort I have put in over the years has all been wasted." After Byun Risa was finished screaming, she dropped to the floor bitterly. At this moment, she was filled with regret and hate. Why did she help this useless brother? Why did she help Kang Seulgi go against Jennie?

"Jie…you haven’t lost everything, you still have me."

"Go away! You only have Seulgi in your eyes," Byun Risa pushed Baekhyun away.

"Jie…I will help you."

"Fine, if you want to help me, then…help me pay off half of the compensation for breaching my contract. Also, I want to become Jennie’s manager. If you guys won’t support her, then I will. I am going to use Jennie to help me make a comeback," Byun Risa snapped. "Do you have the courage to agree to this?"

Baekhyun and Seulgi glanced at each other; this was absolute nonsense. Not only would he not allow his sister to help an enemy, even if they were to agree, there was no way Jennie would allow it. However, on the surface, he still had to find a way to brush her off, so he used Jennie as an excuse, "I can help you with your compensation by selling some shares, we will get over this together. However, if you think about how we previously treated Jennie, there is no way she would let you become her manager. Plus, she already has Lin Wei."

"How does Lin Wei compare to me? Since Tianyi can no longer control Jennie’s progress, then why don’t we personally help her to the top? At least that way we can boost our own reputation. Most importantly, I can keep an eye on Jennie; this is like killing THREE birds with one stone!" Byun Risa was dreaming about controlling Jennie.

She was full of hate and an unwillingness to accept defeat. She wanted to see, if she was to become Jennie’s manager, whether Jennie could still do as she liked.

Listening to Byun Risa’s reasoning, Baekhyun started to reconsider: even if they couldn’t suppress Jennie, at least Byun Risa would be able to stop Jennie from causing trouble. If he was to agree to this, he and Seulgi would be able to breathe a sigh of relief.

"Jie, I’ll agree to it."

"You guys return to China first, after I’ve sorted everything out here, I will come back and take over Jennie."

Taking over Jennie? Let’s see if Kim Taehyung would allow that!

"OK…" Baekhyun replied.

Seulgi wasn’t happy with this decision. She couldn’t believe they were going to personally make Jennie famous. However, this incident with Secret Magazine, was indeed her fault for implicating Baekhyun and Byun Risa. So, at this point, there was nothing she could say; all she could do was look at Baekhyun with a sulky expression, "Don’t you want me anymore?"

"What are you talking about? You saw it too, there is no way we can suppress Jennie. Let’s leave it to my sister to handle her, that way we can have some time to relax. Seulgi, I won’t give up on you."

Seulgi thought, as long as she still had Baekhyun in her grasp, she would still eventually become the first lady of Tianyi. If this was to happen, she would have a chance for a comeback.

As for Jennie spreading her wings, they still had plenty of time!

On the same day that afternoon, KLA agency released an announcement about canceling their contract with Byun Risa. During their announcement, they pointed out three major mistakes she made and claimed they would chase her for compensation. They also announced they would be blacklisting her.

Of course, she was only a manager, even if she was to break ties with her company, it wouldn’t cause much commotion. However, upon seeing this news, Jennie was surprised. Her gaze unconsciously turned towards Taehyung. This man…he really couldn’t help himself.

ISN’s photo shoot was nearing and as it was to be located in Beijing, Jennie had to immediately return to China.

This time, Jennie finally didn’t have to catch the same flight as Baekhyun and Seulgi. Also because of her fame in the US, her fans no longer had to hold back their cheers. Her fan club even organized an event for all the fans to welcome her at the airport. So, early in the morning, the airport was completely packed.

"Jennie, did you know Baekhyun and Seulgi are also flying today?" Lin Wei asked while they were on the way to the airport.

"Yeah, I know…so, you should know what to do, right?" Jennie was reading the newspaper while holding onto Taehyung’s hand. Previously, when she flew to Liusen, Seulgi had revealed her schedule online and got anti-fans to cause her trouble. This time, Kang Seulgi was returning defeated and had become a joke in the industry; she definitely needed to pay her back. How could she be considered a joke until she experiences being surrounded by anti-fans?

"Jennie, you still haven’t used the information about Seulgi being pregnant, what do you plan to do?" Nayeon suddenly asked.

Kang Seulgi’s pregnant? Lin Wei thought.

"All along she’s been aiming for the Top Ten Model Awards. But, don’t forget about the selection criteria. Pregnant women…aren’t qualified to receive an award," Jennie replied calmly.

"Then what are you waiting for? Let’s just release it…"

"According to Seulgi’s personality, she will definitely use whatever means to qualify. I’m going to wait until she appears on stage to receive the award…at that time, I’ll send her to her grave."

After hearing what Jennie said, Nayeon understood.

To receive something and immediately lose it…this was the true experience of pain.

Above all, until the day Seulgi receives an award, Tianyi would still feel like she has hope. So by making her receive it and then lose it, was the only way to guarantee she wouldn’t be able to make a comeback - the Top Ten Model Awards only gave each model one chance.

Taehyung held onto Jennie’s hand tightly the entire time, because he knew, even though Jennie had made Seulgi into her backdrop, it still would not be enough to satiate the pain she had previously received; she would continuously pick away at Seulgi, until...the day came when Kang Seulgi no longer had the strength to revive herself and Baekhyun completely gave up on her. She wanted Kang Seulgi to experience being thrown away.

Taehyung didn't want to see Jennie so depressed, so he pulled out his phone and looked for the photos he took the night before. He then handed his phone to Lin Wei, "Place this photo online..."

It was a photo of Kang Seulgi kneeling on the ground...

A photo of Seulgi at her lowest point...

Lin Wei looked at the scheming couple as her and Nayeon both gave a sly smile.
