Jennie understood how Yang Jing felt. Her mind must have been blank a moment ago, so now was the time for her to release her anger.

It turned out Yang Jing wasn't fearless...

Chanyeol stood in front of Jennie, ready to stop the two from getting any closer as Jennie gave him a reassuring look, "What do you want to say?"

"What did you say in front of Momo? Or what did you do in front of Momo?"

It turned out, Yang Jing had thrown the entire blame on her.

"Yang Jing, do you really think my words would be enough to sway Momo?" Jennie asked calmly. "Why don't you ask yourself what you did that may have crossed Momo's bottom line?"

"You seem to have forgotten your manager identity, or did you think Momo was old and easy to bully?"

"Momo didn't get to where she is because of a manager like you. Her ability, taste and charisma is the key. It's bad enough you tried to stand in my way, if you didn't try to challenge her...you would not have turned out this way! After all, if she wanted to strangle you, it would be easier than you think."

After hearing Jennie's words, Yang Jing took a few steps back in confusion. Earlier on, when she was on the stage, she depended on her momentary courage. However, now that the overall situation had been set, she suddenly felt scared...

Jennie remained calm as she enjoyed the expression on Yang Jing's face. Of course, she no longer had to care about a stray dog like Yang Jing. So, she walked out of the building with Chanyeol.

All that was awaiting Yang Jing, was misery...

"Momo hasn't dealt with Sehun yet!" Chanyeol reminded Jennie as he followed closely behind her. "This man has his true intentions hidden deeper than Yang Jing and is even harder to handle."

"If Momo kicked Sehun out as well, who would keep you in check?" Jennie asked gently.

"You seem like you aren't afraid of anything," Chanyeol pulled open the van door for Jennie. He was curious where her courage and confidence came from.

Jennie sat inside the van with a clear look in her eyes. She replied firmly, "I'm walking the path I think is right, why should I be afraid?"

"The man you are hiding must be either so weak that he needs you to protect him, or so powerful that you have no fear. So, which one is he?"

Jennie's expression did not change. She just simply shook her head, "We agreed before, you weren't going to question my personal matters."

"Fine then, let's talk about the preparations for Her Vision's shoot, we will be heading to Moscow in 3 days," Chanyeol did not question further. His main priority right now was to help Jennie achieve her dream and become the chief supermodel of Cheng Tian so not to put his years of expertise to waste.

Jennie nodded, she was fairly tired. Did this mean she'd have 3 days to rest? That would be perfect; she could keep Taehyung company.

Chanyeol secretly observed Jennie. He realized she wasn't completely emotionless, at least not when she thought about her man. When she thought of him, her face would soften.

So he was curious, what man could have control over Jennie?

How meticulous must he be to keep up with Jennie? He assumed the man must be as he predicted; he must require Jennie's protection. Of course, he had no idea, during their trip to Moscow, he would have the chance to experience this man's presence.

Not long after, Nayeon also came out from Cheng Tian. After boarding the van, she was dancing in joy, "Sorry, sorry...I made you guys wait for me. I was listening in on some gossip!" Nayeon said to them, full of mystery. "I just heard Yang Jing went to look for President Momo...it seems, she can't accept what happened..."

"She's just asking to be disgraced!" Chanyeol responded coldly. "However, don't forget, she still has Ningning. In regards to this ticking time bomb, I can't seem to be at ease."

"If Yang Jing doesn't make a move, how would we know how she plans on using this chess piece?" Jennie appeared unfazed. Of course, apart from Taehyung, no one would be able to tell what she was really thinking.

"Are you waiting for her to make a move?" Chanyeol heard through her underlying meaning.

Jennie smiled without saying anything. But when she thought about it, she realized it was true: no matter if it was Kang Seulgi in the past or Ningning and Yang Jing at present, whenever they made a move they would end up hurting themselves. They even assisted Jennie in achieving the status she currently had. The more these evil people dreamed of hurting others, the more courage Jennie had to move forward.

"But I'm guessing she won't get the chance. Momo never gives her enemies a chance to bounce back."

What Chanyeol was trying to say was probably the scene that was acting out at this moment. Yang Jing and Sehun were standing in Momo's office; their expressions were completely opposing. Momo had her head down approving documents, while Yang Jing...was hesitating to speak.

"President Momo..."

"Shouldn't you be working on your handover?" Momo asked coldly.

"I...don't actually want to leave Cheng Tian. I know I was wrong. I shouldn't have been so naive as to try and use you. I can't let go of my career, I can't destroy myself like this," Yang Jing let go of her pride and collapsed in tears. This was the first time she admitted to defeat like this.

"You already admitted to leaving Cheng Tian in front of the media. By begging me now, aren't you just slapping yourself in the face?"

"President Momo...I've really learned my lesson, can you give me one more chance?"

Hearing this, Momo finally lifted her head, "I've given you plenty of chances, but what did you do with them? How could a CEO like me get threatened by a mere manager? Who do you think you are? Yang Jing, you think too highly of yourself. How dare you challenge Jennie and I? You've created so many obstacles for Jennie, but in the end, did you manage to stop her at all? A manager, like yourself, who isn't even self-aware, won't be wanted by any agencies. Let me tell you, Yang Jing, from now on, you have no business being in this industry."

"As long as I'm around, don't even dream of making a comeback!"

Yang Jing's entire body was trembling. This was the first time Momo humiliated her so directly.

This was the feeling of humiliation!

Absolute humiliation!

Yang Jing couldn't take it anymore as she turned to leave. Pride? Did she still have any left? Even her last bit of pride had been torn to shreds by Momo.

Yang Jing went straight to the third floor where she ran into Sehun. The two looked at each other. After holding herself back for half a second, Yang Jing finally said as she brushed past him, "Get revenge for me."

Although Momo had held onto Sehun, he knew...in the end, he too, would end up like Yang Jing. So he wasn't going to let Chanyeol and Jennie be well off.

"I promise, I'll get revenge for you no matter what I have to do..."

Yang Jing felt assured as she turned to leave Cheng Tian. Finally, she found a hidden alleyway and burst into tears. Who would of thought this would be her fate.

But, it was OK. She still had Ningning!
