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

Chapter 68: Unexpected Discovery

"How did you handle this matter?" Byun Risa asked. She had received a huge blow and all she could do now was walk in with her tail between her legs; she wanted so bad to find a hole to hide in.

Baekhyun looked at Jennie, his eyes contained a complex look, "She must have already known we tore up her invitation, so no matter how well we prepared, her true intentions were well hidden while she watched our every move."

"As if she's that smart," Byun Risa continued to blame everything on Baekhyun's bad management. "Just wait and see. Since we haven't been able to stop her today, it's going to be even harder to stop her in the future."

Kang Seulgi glanced at the siblings beside her, especially Byun Risa who claimed to be special. Her eyes flashed a moment of ridicule; Jennie wasn't too smart, everyone just underestimated her and let their guard down - including herself...

But, no matter how hard Jennie tried to climb up, it didn't matter. Since Seulgi managed to secure a Top Ten Model Award, she was confident she would be able to beat Jennie.

The trio caused such a commotion before entering the venue that word of them failing to suppress Jennie quickly spread to the ears of everyone present. Baekhyun looked at the ridiculing gazes of the guests as he tried hard to hold back his anger. They soon found their seats. According to their status in the industry, they were seated towards the back; temporarily hidden from sight, giving them a bit of relief. However, what they didn't expect was that Jennie would be seated two rows from the front.

On her left sat TQ's editor and on her right sat one of the judges of the Top Ten Model Awards. This judge just so happened to be the man that slept with Kang Seulgi.

Why is Jennie always so lucky?

Although Jennie wasn't familiar with the man, Seulgi still felt uneasy - because she felt guilty.

"Seulgi, what's wrong? Your palms are sweaty."

"Nothing's wrong, I'm just a bit nervous," Seulgi brushed Baekhyun off with a smile.

The Bright Night Gala was like the opening ceremony for the annual awards ceremonies, so many celebrities were gathered. As many people in the entertainment industry loved fashion, there were a large number of attendees.

Jennie was concentrated on the stage as the hosts gave their opening speeches. However, the judge sitting to her right was mesmerized by her legs; Mr. Li was well known for being sleazy, hence why Seulgi managed to get her way with him.

Worst of all, not only did he merely look at Jennie's legs, he even turned to her and said, "Miss Choi, you are so beautiful. I saw a recent article about you and found that you are extremely professional; I have high hopes for you."

After hearing him speak, Jennie could sense he was hinting something else to her. She decided to respond politely, "Thank you for your praise."

Upon seeing the judge inching closer and closer to Jennie, TQ's editor patted her on the shoulder and requested, "Take my seat, I have something I want to ask Mr. Li."

Jennie understood that Lin Weisen was trying to help her out of this sticky situation and quickly gave him a grateful smile before swapping seats with him.

To Lin Weisen, Jennie was an extremely professional model with a promising future, so he didn't want any negative news to arise about her.

Seeing Jennie unwilling to play along, the judge glared at her; they were obviously from the same company, but why was Kang Seulgi so easy to bed, yet Jennie was so stuck-up? Wasn't she just a fallen outdated model that recently got back on her feet?

Jennie continued to concentrate on the stage as she pretended to be unaware of what was happening. But deep down she knew, today she may have offended this judge...

Kang Seulgi watched from the back and focused on their movements; she noticed the old sleazebag had his eyes set on Jennie. If Jennie decided to follow the same path as her, then...wouldn't that mean she would have to be stepped all over by Jennie again?

After all, who wouldn't choose a shortcut to success?

Why did Jennie have to fight with her over everything?

On the stage, the hosts were throwing out punchlines one after another making the audience roar in laughter. After the head of the organizing committee gave his speech, it signaled the launch ceremony had officially started and the special guest would be about to appear...

Kim Taehyung...

Kim Taehyung...

Jennie chanted her husband's name in her heart. He was an untouchable superstar that everyone looked up to; in fact, he possessed a presence which even some of the most famous celebrities couldn't compare to. He was more attractive than anyone else, and tonight he would appear at the same event as his wife for the first time, even though...

...no one actually knew they were married.

"In a moment, the person that will be making an appearance..."

The host only started speaking, yet below the stage, the crowd was already cheering loudly. The host smiled waiting for everyone to quiet down, before continuing "...he is more popular than any superstar or even famous celebrity. He is the CEO of Hai Rui Entertainment, Kim Taehyung!"

As soon as the host's words left his mouth, Taehyung appeared from behind the stage. Under the spotlight, his sculpted body looked even more perfect and built. Most importantly, the presence he exuded was similar to that of a king; it was like he was born to stand intimidatingly where no one could reach...

Taehyung swept his gaze across the hall before spotting Jennie; their eyes met. Their feelings for each other were quickly expressed through their gaze, but it only lasted 2 seconds before Taehyung quickly glanced away.

"President Kim, please speak," the host welcomed him to the stage.

Taehyung's eyes twinkled; the mole on his right earlobe was magnificent like obsidian, "Hai Rui's door has always been open to winners."

Taehyung only said one simple sentence - one very simple sentence - and it was enough to tell everyone one honest truth: Hai Rui only accepted powerful artists. At the same time, he also gave Hai Rui's artist's an affirmation: they were the top of their game because behind them was Hai Rui Entertainment - an undefeated legend of the industry...

Hearing these words, Jennie also understood, this was encouragement from Taehyung. Only after she becomes the most powerful, would she be able to stand wherever she wanted.

"Ohhh...Our President Kim's suit color matches that of Jennie's." Jennie's dress was imprinted in the host's memory; especially since she was seated just below them on the right; a quick glance made the comparison even more obvious.

So, after seeing Taehyung wearing clothes in a similar color group, he couldn't help but point it out.

Jennie did not expect her name to be called out. After being stunned for a few seconds, she quickly stood up and smiled, "It is my honor."

Everyone knew Taehyung hated artists that rode on other's coattails, so they wondered whether Jennie's outfit meant she had deliberately inquired about Taehyung's outfit to create hype?

Those below the stage waited for Taehyung's reaction and for Jennie to be humiliated...
