Yueying Culture Media Company fell into an anxious state.

After the press conference yesterday, the crowd of annoying reporters vanished, but because of the stakeholders' meeting that very day, there was no time to rest at all.

At the moment, inside the CEO office of Yueying.

Sun Yeong was sifting through the documents for the meeting prepared by her secretary while Chaerin and Krystal were sitting on the sofa, drinking coffee.

Chaerin looked at the tablet in her hand. There were still all sorts of comments on Weibo, so she reminded Krystal worriedly, "Krystal, lay low for a while. Try not to garner too much attention to yourself. We're not totally safe from the news yet. Be careful. Jennie really got us this time."

Krystal stopped her movements to turn over to Chaerin and nod. "I got it. I'll be careful."

"Don't worry. We've taken on several big projects this year, in which Kim Group and the Han Corporation invested, and a large portion at that. Your popularity will surely shoot up, and you've never let us down before, have you?"

Chaerin comforted Krystal when she saw the sadness in her eyes.

That land was Kai's engagement gift to Krystal. Besides being highly valuable, it meant a lot to her as well. She wanted to make a trade with Jennie, but in the end, the latter made her hand it out without getting anything in return. Furthermore, she even had to spend another few million on it.

She really suffered a huge loss this time while Jennie remained triumphant!

"Mmm, I know. I won't let everyone down. It'll be fine, Mother!"

Jennie smiled as she turned toward Sun Yeong. "Grandmother, haven't you found out who's been stocking up our shares in secret yet?"

"Hmph, those cunning old foxes! I only know someone bought if off from them, but I still haven't found out who the person is. Nevertheless, we'll know very soon!"

Sun Yeong's expression darkened when this matter was mentioned.

"Well... Then, if the person really has Sister's documents, what should we do?" Krystal looked at Sun Yeong worriedly.

Sun Yeong paled. The recent bout of incidents had been nothing short of chaos. She never expected Jennie would become like this. In the past, she would just accept whatever was thrown at her, but her temperament got sharper after working for several years.

"I'll just have to figure it out." Sun Yeong took a deep breath, her eyes seemed sharp as ever. "I cannot let her threaten Yueying with that document."

"Actually, Grandmother can try to convince Grandfather to talk to Sister. She has always listened to Grandfather. Besides, she can have a nice, long talk with Grandfather. Wouldn't that make things easier? I believe Grandfather won't let Sister sell it to just anyone, so, Grandmother, we..." Krystal said cautiously.

Sun Yeong's expression froze before she sighed, "Your grandfather's still blaming me for that matter. How can I convince him? Plus, the document last time... Krystal, don't bother your Grandfather on this. We had an agreement before."

"But..." Krystal still wanted to say something, but Chaerin stopped her. It was obvious that the elder did not seem pleased.

"It's almost time. Most of the stakeholders should be present already. Let's go."

Sun Yeong closed the document in her hand and then walked out while Chaerin and Krystal followed her.

Inside the huge meeting room, most of the seats were occupied except for several seats in front.

Sun Yeong went up to the CEO's seat and sat down as Chaerin and Krystal sat beside her.

The higher-ups who were whispering with the other stakeholders stopped talking as soon as they saw Sun Yeong. Everyone focused on her.

Sun Yeong opened the document in her hands and glanced around with her sharp eyes. She then focused on the vacant seats on the left and right, especially the empty seat on the right. She frowned when she looked at them.

"CEO Deng, that's the seat for Kim Group's Master. I spoke to their secretary earlier and Master Kim is on his way. Here's CEO Wang's seat. He didn't pick up the call..." The secretary quickly explained the situation to her.

There was the sound of footsteps after the secretary made her report. The crowd looked toward the entrance just as Jisoo's handsome face came into view...

"Master Kim!"

The crowd was shocked. They were all familiar with Jisoo, especially when Yueying had been facing so much trouble lately. They still managed to have several projects with Kim Group, and today Jisoo was actually attending the stakeholders meeting?

"Master Kim!" Sun Yeong's expression softened when she saw Jisoo. Krystal and Chaerin traded glances with each other before putting on warm smiles.

"It seems that I'm not the last one to arrive!" Jisoo grinned as he glanced at the empty seat nearby.

"Master Kim, you've arrived right on time. We were just about to start. Please have a seat!" Sun Yeong pointed at the seat on her left as she smiled.

Jisoo nodded and then glanced at his secretary. He then went toward the seat Sun Yeong pointed at and sat down. Glancing at the still empty seat as he raised his eyebrows in surprise, he remarked, "Is someone not here yet? Is that someone even more important than me?"

"It's CEO Wang. He's been really cocky lately. He told me that he got his hands on some fortune, but he didn't reveal what it was. I heard that he's going to work on his own business."

"I heard about that too. No wonder he had such an arrogant vibe around him! How dare he be late for the stakeholders meeting!?"

People started whispering and discussing as Sun Yeong's face darkened again. She gave a signal to Chaerin, who quickly grabbed her phone and gave CEO Wang a call.

After a while, Chaerin's expression looked terrible because no one was picking up the call, and the discussions were getting louder by the second...

"What's wrong, Mother?" Krystal asked quietly while the crowd was starting to make a fuss.

The moment that she asked this and before Chaerin could reply, the door to the meeting room opened.
