The Wife Is a Superstar 2

Chapter 370 - Film Awards

Gold Heights Condominium.

Jennie and Lisa decided to stay in the penthouse this week because her current schedule was very tight. The condo was nearer to the broadcasting stations, so it was more convenient time-wise and travel-wise.

At the moment, Lisa was at work. Jennie was getting her hair and make-up done in her walk-in closet. Jae was currently on the phone coordinating with the staff of her next guest appearance at an afternoon TV show in a few hours. Little Jun was playing on the floor with Lily and Leo, his nanny watching over them.

Hoyeon sat beside Jennie, as the two of them spoke with the American lawyer via video call. The lawyer was updating them on the progress of the defamation case they filed against Eunchae and her now ex-friend.

The lawyer was one of Lisa's friends back when he studied in the U.S. He was the one who contacted the celebrity lawyer, so that he and Jennie could hire him to represent Hoyeon.

Jennie and Hoyeon were informed that the case was going smoothly. The lawyer expected for it to be concluded quickly. He told them that Eunchae was being very cooperative and expressed her intention to pay whatever compensation she needed to pay.

Of course Eunchae was being cooperative. Jennie made sure to frighten the woman into submission for this defamation lawsuit or suffer the consequences of having those explicit files spread across the world.

When she was dealing with Eunchae as Drakon, something inside her was urging her to be more vicious and merciless. However, she eventually decided to give Eunchae a lighter punishment and a harsh warning instead. She would only gun for her full force if she foolishly bothered Hoyeon again. Her calm and logical self concluded that Eunchae's defamation offense wasn't severe enough to warrant a complete destruction of her life.

By this time, the lingering remnant inside Jennie was now more than half fused with her own self. Even if she decided to examine her own emotions and consciousness closely, it would be extremely difficult for her to detect the remnant.

Back to the defamation case in the U.S., Eunchae was cooperating but her ex-friend wasn't. Her ex-friend was fighting against the case fiercely, citing ignorance to what really transpired. She laid all the blame on Eunchae.

"So what do you want to do about the friend?" the lawyer asked.

Jennie looked at Hoyeon who gestured for her to make the decision.

"I want both of them to pay. They're both at fault," Jennie told the lawyer.

"Understood. I'll keep you posted for any new updates, then."

The video call ended.

"Thank you, Ruby. I'm also grateful to Lisa. Although you didn't have to, I appreciate you doing all of this for me," Hoyeon said in her sincerest voice.

"What are you saying? Of course we'll do this. You're not only my friend but also the mother of my godson. Lisa and I will not keep quiet when our godson's mother is being defamed left and right. And even if we don't care about you—we do, of course—we'll still do this for the sake of our godson. Little Jun will surely be affected negatively if his mother is being treated so unfairly like this."

Hoyeon smiled. She really couldn't thank Jennie and Lisa enough for all of the things they had done for her and Little Jun.

The two pairs—Jennie and Lisa plus Hoyeon and Donghwi—spoke about what to do when Eunchae and her ex-friend paid the compensation. They all decided to place half of the money in a trust fund while half would be put into investments. Of course Little Jun was the sole beneficiary.
