Seeing the clip of Ningning's mother crying on screen, even Momo couldn't hold back her laughter as she sat in the office watching...

It seemed Ningning used her own face as a shield, throwing the blame onto Jennie.

However, in order to settle the rumors, Momo immediately instructed her staff to release an official statement stating that it couldn't have possibly been Jennie and to have faith in her...She also reported the incident straight to the police.

As soon as the statement was released, Ningning's mother started threatening everyone with suicide; exclaiming that underhanded people in the entertainment industry were trying to destroy her daughter. She also claimed that the netizens were ruining a child's future.

As Jennie was currently on a break, after talking to Momo on the phone, Momo assured her she wouldn't need to do anything personally. So, Jennie lay casually on Taehyung's lap, dressed in comfortable home clothes as she listened to the entertainment news being broadcast on the TV.

Taehyung instructed Suga to retrieve all his documents, bring them home and tell everyone at work he's too sick to go to the office. However, Jennie knew it was because there was too much going on at the moment and he didn't want to leave her all alone.

"Tae...this afternoon, I want to drop by the police station," Jennie said as she lay on Taehyung's lap.

"Uh huh," Taehyung nodded without asking her why. He understood, in relation to the drugs incident, even if the majority of netizens believed her, she still needed to present some evidence of her innocence. If she missed her chance to prove herself, who could guarantee whether this rumor would be used against her later on.

For Ningning to be completely over, there was still a little more to be done, but Taehyung didn't tell Jennie.

Right now online, the majority of comments were not from 'mother-fans' that supported Ningning, but from kids her age that felt, as a person in the limelight, she wasn't setting a good example and was a complete embarrassment!

They even sent a letter to the National Youth Organization with various complaints and suggestions.

The result from this was, in the future if Ningning got blacklisted, it wouldn't only be from the entertainment industry, but possibly the entire country.

So, the commotion caused by Ningning's mother, didn't actually help her daughter. Instead...

...it made things worse.

However, Ningning's mother did not give up. After a suicide attempt, she agreed to accept an interview at the hospital, "As Ningning's mother, I feel guilty that I haven't been able to protect her and have allowed her to be hurt this way. I am too ashamed to continue living."

"As for the demon that won't even let a 16-year-old girl go, let's see who God will show mercy to in the end!"

The reporters filled the room like sardines and all pointed their microphones at Ningning's mother, "Ma'am, the demon you speak of, are you suggesting Jennie?"

"Who else?" Ningning's mother glared at the cameras and sneered.

"Did you think Jennie took drugs and tried to frame it on your daughter? If that's the case, did you report it to the police immediately?" the female reporter pushed for an answer, "As I'm aware, Jennie's management agency, Cheng Tian Entertainment, went directly to the police. Are you afraid of police investigation?"

With the mention of police, Ningning's mother was dumbfounded for a moment; she looked slightly in a panic as she responded shamelessly, "I don't know anything, don't ask me. All I know is my daughter is innocent."

After hearing her response, the reporters looked at each other. They didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I want you guys to leave....get out. Or I'll try to kill myself again."

The reporters could tell that Ningning's mother was obviously trying to sway the public opinion, but she was only lying to herself. After all, the night that Ningning appeared at Night Color Bar, there were plenty of witnesses; there was bound to be evidence.

As more and more evidence started to surface, the situation became more of a mess. And as Ningning's mother prepared to commit suicide again to pressure Jennie and the netizens...one of the parties involved with the incident, the person that stood aloof from the world, Jennie, finally made an appearance.

Dressed in plain clothes and accompanied by her manager, she showed up at the police station.

She never explained herself. Instead, she used the most direct action to prove her innocence: partaking in a drug test.

So when the media questioned Ningning's mother about whether she knew Jennie had gone to take a drug test and if she was brave enough to take Ningning for one as well, she froze on the spot...

She, of course, didn't dare. She was well aware of her daughter's shameful deeds. That's why she was trying to turn everyone's attention to Jennie. She never expected Jennie wouldn't bother to argue with her before going directly to the police station...

1pm. Jennie revealed her drug test results to the public. The result was a negative; she had never taken illegal drugs in her life.

Out of all the times Ningning schemed against Jennie, this was the biggest counterattack.

Taking drugs!

These were two extremely serious words. Seeing the results that Jennie posted online, the netizens were outraged. Why was it every time Ningning did something wrong she would try to pass it off on Jennie?

Was it simply because she resembled Jennie?

In an instant, an 'anti-Ningning' alliance was formed online consisting of fans and onlookers refusing to acknowledge the existence of 'Mini-Jennie'. To them, there was only one Jennie and they suggested everyone stop being an accessory to Ningning's bullying.

As for Ningning's mother, after suffering a major slap to the face, she could no longer let out a sound.

However, the reporters' questioning became more intense and angry, "Ma'am, Jennie has responded to the drug-taking incident. She has been innocent the entire time. All along you've been claiming that Jennie framed your daughter. But now that Jennie has presented us with her evidence, what are your thoughts?"

"Ma'am is it because Ningning resembles Jennie that you tried to use Jennie to divert the public's criticism?"

"Ma'am, how has Jennie offended you? Why did you put her through all this slandering?"

"Ma'am, to you, is your daughter the only human in this world? Is that why Jennie deserves to have her name tarnished?"

Ningning's mother was sitting on her hospital bed; she wasn't 40-years-old yet, but, because of Ningning's incident she was physically and mentally exhausted. Especially when faced with the reporter's questions, she had no choice but to cover herself with the blanket and break down in tears.

"I know I've wronged Jennie...I'm well aware. I just didn't want my daughter to be destroyed!"

"Just because you didn't want you daughter to be destroyed, you went ahead and tried to destroy someone else's daughter? There's no such reasoning in this world."

Hearing the irony in the reporter's question, Ningning's mother twitched her lips, before finally responding reluctantly, "I was wrong..."

"I did not teach Ningning properly and am sorry to the innocent Jennie."

"If Jennie's name had really been tarnished today...how would your apology be enough to make up for her innocence?"

And most importantly, where was the other involved party, Ningning, at this time?
