"She can't continue working in the US, so of course she will try to use you to make a comeback. Plus her dream is to control you and make you surrender to her." Jeonghwan gazed at Jooeun with a serious expression as he analyzed what Ryeowon was thinking. "Of course, it's not hard for you to shake her off."

Jooeun smiled slightly, she already had everything thought out. Upon seeing her expression, Minjung knew a small obstacle like this wouldn't be able to stand in Jooeun's way, she felt a sense of relief.

Jooeun's plan is to take place after The Top Ten Model Awards. So anything that is to happen between now and then, she already took into consideration. The only thing Minjung could do for her now is to comfort Hyewon.

After Minjung left, the couple entered the bedroom together and changed into home clothes. Jeonghwan hugged Jooeun in front of the wardrobe mirror as he asked in her ear. "You still don't plan on leaving CN?"

"It's not time yet." She only needed one final step to completely destroy Shinhye. There's no way she would let the two off so easily.

"But you should decide on your next goal." Jeonghwan knew Jooeun didn't like to take shortcuts, so he didn't mention signing with GK. "Now that you have popularity and people are talking about you, your next goal should be. . ."

"I need a notable award." Jooeun replied gently. She understood where she stood and she understood the entertainment industry is like a pool of deep water. Today she could still keep people talking about her, but tomorrow, the attention could easily be snatched away by some new entertainer. So by obtaining a notable award, she would be able to establish a status in the industry. "However, Hwan, I am already 26 years old. I can no longer act like I am 17 and compete in a modeling competition. And the awards I received in the past have lost their value ever since Star King Entertainment blacklisted me. Back then, I retreated too desperately and burnt my own bridges."

In the past, she really did everything she could for Jung Yonghwa. A model's best years, their most glorious years, she had selflessly given them all to Yonghwa. But in the end, what did she get in return? However, Jooeun did not regret it. After all, it was the road that she chose. It's just, now she had to face the consequences of her silly mistakes.

After hearing her, Jeonghwan's heart ached for her. If he had met her earlier, maybe she wouldn't have had to go through all this pain. He planted a kiss on Jooeun's neck and comforted her with a gentle voice. "It doesn't matter. If you can't enter a competition, it doesn't matter. Just work hard as a model. If you need to attend shows or appear in magazines, I will accompany you. We can make use of good exposure. After all, the industry is where the true battle is. Honey, don't give yourself too much pressure."

Jooeun took a deep breath as she turned around and wrapped her arms around Jeonghwan's waist. She buried her head in his chest and sighed. "Don't worry. With you as my goal, I won't be easily destroyed."

Joenghwan took a deep breath as he lifted Jooeun in his arms. After returning to the bedroom, he placed her on the bed and gently pressed his body on top of her. "I think, the best way to make you forget about the past, is to love you deeply."

After hearing this, Jooeun's ears flushed red. She could tell his words contained two meanings. "You haven't eaten yet. After working hard all day, do you still have the energy?"

"I guess the only way to find out, is if I prove it." After speaking, Jeonghwan's kiss lowered onto her lips.

Because of Jooeun's popularity, Shinhye became the target of everyone's hatred. So CN's celebration dinner, Yonghwa is not going to allow her to attend. It's exactly at this time, that Shinhye got a chance to meet with the judges for the awards. Research into the judges was done behind CN's back by Shinhye's assistant. In total, there were 7 people: 3 females, 4 males. Shinhye quickly brushed the 3 females aside and placed her focus on a 40-something-year-old male judge. He had a dark history that always seemed to be covered up.

"Shinhye!" Shinhye's assistant watched as she picked up the male's photo. His heart is racing.

"Seokho, help me find out when I can meet with this judge."

"Shinhye."

"I know what you are thinking. If I don't take this step, I will lose Yonghwa, and not only this, I will have nothing left." Shinhye spoke in a cruel manner. Right now, she had no way to survive in Korea. If she didn't help herself find another way out, she didn't know how much lower Jooeun would push her. "I definitely need to get the award, at all costs!"

Shinhye's assistant had no choice but to pull out his phone and stand to one side as he phoned the man with respect. At first, the man on the other side didn't plan on answering, but after Seokho called three times in a row, he finally picked up. Shinhye's assistant expressed his thoughts in a simple manner and the man understood their intention. In the end, he requested to speak to Shinhye personally.

"Shinhye."

Shinhye reached out her hand and grabbed the phone. With a smile, she answered, "Mr. Jang." As he was a high-profile artist, she lowered herself when talking to him.

"So, you are Shinhye? I've watched your shows. Actually, you aren't that bad, but as I'm sure you are aware, your reputation hasn't been very good recently. How about tomorrow at 7 PM, you come to Seoul Hotel, we can have a chat."

"Shinhye, is this what you want? You are pregnant and that old man is despicable."

"Do I have another choice?" Shinhye turned her head and questioned her assistant. "Jooeun has pushed me into a corner, I can't let her succeed. If she wants me to surrender, she must be dreaming!"

The assistant became helpless. All he could do is grind his teeth. "Then tomorrow I will help you take some photos for evidence, in case that old man gets what he wants and leaves."

Yonghwa had no idea, Shinhye had already made such a filthy decision. While he was desperately trying to fix things on the outside, he lost Shinhye's vain heart. Of course, this is all karma; like the way he betrayed Jooeun, Shinhye is now betraying him in the same way.

On the same day, early in the morning, Ryeowon had already dealt with her contract in America and had returned to Seoul. Yonghwa went to the airport on his own to pick her up. As soon as Ryeowon entered Yonghwa's apartment, she asked about where Jooeun is living.

"Noona, Shinhye hasn't been in a good mood the past few days. Don't provoke her, keep your voice down."

"She didn't live up to expectations, she can't blame others." Ryeowon responded coldly.

"Jooeun lives in Nine One Hannam." Yonghwa replied impatiently.

"How does she live in such a good place? In that case, I will move to her place tomorrow. It will make work more convenient." Ryeowon had no intention of living in Yonghwa's apartment and didn't want to see Shinhye.

But Nine One Hannam is not the type of place a person like her could live!
