After taking a deep breath in, Ye-Jin smiled bitterly.
"Yes, it was certain that Krystal was your daughter back then. I still remember how Chaerin proudly showed me the DNA report that proved the relationship between you and Krystal in front of me. Sun Yeong even talked me down then. Look at her condition right now. Even Chaerin's reputation has gone down the drain."
"Maybe this is karma. I know Lisa and Jennie wish for us to get back together again, but I can tell you now that. I'll never marry you again. I only need to experience a marriage like that once," Ye-Jin suddenly spoke after a long silence.
Hyunbin was stunned.
He knew Ye-Jin very well. She must have steeled herself in order for her to say such words.
His eyes suddenly darkened as he looked at Ye-Jin, then he smiled casually. "Marriage doesn't matter since it's just a piece of paper. Moreover, I don't think we need those anymore. I don't really mind if that makes you feel better," Hyunbin spoke in a sentimental tone.
Ye-Jin closed her eyes and stopped talking.
Hyunbin was really good at dealing with her pressure now. No matter how mean she was, he could still act like it was nothing.
...
Early in the morning, assistant Jimin visited Jisoo with a gift box as he just arrived at the office. "Master Kim, tomorrow is Chairman Manoban from Glory World's banquet. CEO Wang wants Ms. Xian Er to be your partner, and this is the gift you asked me to prepare."
Glory World's Chairman Manoban?
Jisoo's eyes darkened. He took a pause before opening his drawer and taking a red invitation card out. Written inside were Lisa and Jennie's names.
Lisa and Jennie...
As he read these names, Jennie's slender figure appeared in his mind. He then recalled the drawing writing pad inside his bedside drawer.
A smile appeared on his face.
A woman like that...
After falling silent for a moment, he stopped smiling as he raised his head and looked at Jimin. "I don't need a partner. Also, prepare me a golden rose. Make sure it's done by tomorrow night," Jisoo gave a direct order.
"A golden rose?"
Jimin was taken by surprise as he looked at Jisoo in confusion.
Jisoo put on a wicked smile and explained, "A rose made of gold. I want the shiniest material there is. The more eye-catching it is, the better! It would be great if there can be diamonds on it!"
"Master Kim, you..." Jimin tried to ask.
"I have a use for it. Just prepare it."
"Yes, Master Kim, I'll work on it now!" Jimin left after a brief reply, but as he opened the door, Krystal was standing right there, about to knock on it!
Jimin was surprised by Krystal's sudden appearance. "Krystal? You..."
Krystal wore a loose white dress with the baby bump becoming more obvious. She appeared much better after Yueying's crisis was resolved. At least, she did not seem as lifeless as before.
"Is Master Kim inside?" Krystal asked as she glanced at Jimin coldly.
Jimin shrugged, not seeming very pleased. "Wait here!"
He then turned back to see that Jisoo had turned his chair around and was facing the large window. "Master Kim, Krystal is outside."
"Let her in," Jisoo replied briefly. Jimin then let her in.
"Master Kim, why did you stop the two movies? Wasn't the progress going well?" Krystal barged inside and asked straightforwardly.
"You yourself should know what condition Yueying is in right now. The crisis just passed, but your funding is still insufficient. Even if you joined Kim Group now, we needed to reevaluate the big projects that were under preparation before, and the results of our evaluation concluded that it's unsatisfactory, so it's being temporarily halted. Is there an issue?" Jisoo replied calmly as he turned his chair around and looked pointedly at Krystal.
"However, I don't think CEO Kim thinks the same."
"If I'm not mistaken, Chenye Movies and Televisions film similar movies as well. The other two scripts before were pretty good, so we don't have to do the same thing as others."
Jisoo then continued, "I hope you can spend some time working on new titles, instead of using recycled ideas, Ms. Kim. Moreover, I can't trust the standards of the directors you recruited temporarily."
"Why can they do it and we can't? Do you think we will lose to a newly established company?"
"You should know better than me of Yueying's current situation. You're a smart person, Krystal. You don't need me to spell everything out for you, do you? Kim Group isn't stupid. I know very well what you're planning." Jisoo smiled as he looked at Krystal.
Suddenly, Krystal's eyes darkened as she stared at Jisoo coldly. She bit her lip and let out a cold laugh. "Master Kim, I don't know what you're talking about, but I do know that you can't decide on this matter by yourself!"
"Oh? Then, who can decide around here?" Jisoo glanced at Krystal in disdain.
He always disliked women like her. He had no idea what she had done to make Han Yu and the others help her on Kai's stead. To a certain extent, Kai became one of Kim Group's stakeholders, just that his representative was now Krystal.
Before Jisoo could reply, the phone on the table started ringing.
Jisoo picked it up.
"Hello?" A deep and familiar voice came through.
"Who told you to stop the two movies Yueying was filming? Withdraw the instruction right now and let them continue."
"One of the two movies was too explicit while the other one had too similar a style with Director Zhang who is now in Chenye Movies and Televisions. I'm afraid..."
"I'm telling you to withdraw your orders and let them continue. Forget about anything else and continue fooling around with your life!"
The call was hung up after that last sentence!
Duu—
Jisoo's expression turned stormy instantly.
