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

Chapter 89: Let's Announce Our Relationship

"But, if you do this, your relationship with Mr. Li will also be exposed. Seulgi...I don't agree to this!" her assistant snapped, trying to stop her. "Even if we are no longer in this industry; even if we have to go back to the life we once led, we'll just suck it up a little. We don't need to sacrifice ourselves to damage the enemy."

"You Ge...don't you understand this industry yet?" Seulgi's gaze was filled with sadness, "Did you think because I've failed, Li Henry will just let me go? He won't! Don't forget, I have evidence against him in my hands, he won't go easy on me. Rather than waiting for that to happen, I might as well take the initiative and attack first."

"Do you really...have to do this?"

"I want Jennie and Byun Baekhyun to go down with me!" Seulgi clenched the pure white bedding in her fist; her eyes looked ruthless and were filled with certainty.

Her assistant took a deep breath, he was helpless against Seulgi, "OK, calm down, I'll go organize it now."

If she wanted to advance like Jennie, it was almost impossible. But, if she wanted to destroy herself, it was much too easy. Seulgi's assistant was afraid Baekhyun and Li Henry would find her and blackmail her, so he found a way to get her out of the hospital. Afterwards, they found a place no one knew of and rented a small room. Her assistant took care of her as he contacted some trustworthy reporters; making sure the news they were about to release wouldn't be blocked by any big companies.

...

[Shocking turn of events: Tianyi Entertainment has fallen into a ditch!]

[The secret behind The Special Contribution Award: Jennie slept with the judges!]

[Agreement exposed: Tianyi reportedly the dirtiest agency in history!]

The scandal between Tianyi and the judges was exposed the next morning throughout Beijing. Details of the agreement signed between the parties involved Kang Seulgi, newcomers and also Jennie! The media started making assumptions that Seulgi and Jennie received their awards because of 'Judge Li'. They suspected them of doing something under-the-table and claimed they had no right to receive any awards.

In an instant, the industry was in an uproar. Tianyi was scolded for being like a brothel, Jennie and Seulgi were called sl*ts and Li Henry was called a brothel client...Netizens gathered and made their verbal attacks. The fact that Tianyi and Kang Seulgi were involved wasn't surprising; they'd always had a bad reputation, but, they didn't expect Jennie would be like that too. It was just last night that they were happy for Jennie for receiving an award...

Because of this, their attacks towards Jennie was the strongest. They claimed Jennie was too good at acting and should go be an actress.

Seeing these reports, Baekhyun exploded with anger as he sat in his office. He knew the only person that could get close enough to him to obtain this evidence was Seulgi. He couldn't believe Kang Seulgi had chosen to sacrifice herself.

The news this time came too ferociously and was too shocking, unlike previous rumors. This time... Kang Seulgi had evidence and his name was clearly on it; he couldn't deny it. Tianyi was over, and with it went all the hard work he had put in over the years.

Staff started handing in their resignations and Tianyi's higher-ups were frustrated. Baekhyun knew deep down, as soon as the board of director's held a meeting, he would be immediately kicked out of the company and be left with nothing.

Kang Seulgi, you sl*t!

Baekhyun phoned Seulgi angrily over and over again, he even drove all the way to the hospital, but Seulgi had already hid herself away; he had no chance of finding her.

In the end, Baekhyun phoned Seulgi's assistant threatening him with his family. Finally, Kang Seulgi took the phone from her assistant's hand, "Baekhyun..."

"Where are you? Kang Seulgi, you sl*t, show yourself!" If Baekhyun had been hiding his true self all along, then today, he had truly revealed himself, "Show yourself or I will kill you."

"Kill me? Did you think I would be afraid of that at this stage?" Seulgi grunted coldly into the phone. "Did you think you didn't need to face the consequences of selling me off like that? Baekhyun, thanks to your untrusting personality, you signed this agreement and gave me an opportunity to secure a piece of evidence against all of you. No matter if it's you, Li Henry or Jennie, I want you all to go down with me!"

"You are crazy!"

"Crazy? Last night I had a miscarriage. While I was in the operating room, did you even consider the child in my stomach was yours? Did you feel an ounce of guilt? I know you didnt...so, don't blame me for being heartless. Byun Baekhyun, you deserve it." After speaking, Seulgi hung up the phone. A sinister yet pitiful smile appeared across her pale face.

Baekhyun screamed in anger as he smashed everything on the floor...

If he didn't cheat in the first place and had chosen to marry Jennie, then the situation right now would not be the same.

As for Jennie who didn't do anything wrong, she now had to carry around this scar to her name...

She had to carry around the name of being a 'bed-climber'...

Baekhyun was helpless and Li Henry refused to answer questions; he was no longer contactable. Li Henry's actions made it obvious, all the under-the-table operations were true; Jennie and Seulgi climbing into others' beds was also true...

All the media could do was make these assumptions.

Hyatt Regency. Jennie watched the TV from the sofa. As she watched the reports about her, she couldn't help but feel overcome by complex emotions.

Taehyung embraced her tightly providing her with support and letting her know not to be afraid.

"Jennie, what should we do now?" Nayeon asked as she looked worryingly at the news. "Seems like Kang Seulgi has been pushed into a dead end, that's why she decided to go down together. It's OK for her to be destroyed, but what about you? You're innocent and deserved the award, yet things have now turned out like this..."

"I forced Seulgi, so I'm not entirely innocent," Jennie mumbled.

"But, Seulgi can't be found at the moment, Li Henry isn't responding and Baekhyun obviously has no idea how to deal with this situation. The evidence is already out there, aren't we being too indifferent?"

"I lacked premeditation, everything ran too smoothly up until now. I've forgotten how painful it is to fall," Jennie replied helplessly. Although she had been wary of Li Henry, she never expected, Li Henry and Baekhyun would end up working together.

"There are only two solutions to this. Number one: Look for either Li Henry or Byun Baekhyun. Number two: Announce our relationship," Taehyung reminded Jennie. "Of course, the best solution is to find Li Henry, but from what I know, he has already left the country to hideout. In that case, we can only go look for Baekhyun. Only the two of them know what other verbal agreements they had made between them. Secondly..."

"I understand, but even if I look for Baekhyun, he won't help me."

"Who told you to look for him? I'll go look for him," Taehyung replied in a serious tone. "Did you think an incident like this could be dealt in any other way other than with me making an appearance? I am not appearing in front of him as the CEO of Hai Rui Entertainment, but simply...your husband."
