Because Ryeowon is to take over Jooeun, her, Hyewon and Yonghwa are in the meeting room early in the morning, discussing the upcoming plans they had. Jooeun isn't invited to the meeting, the excuse is that it's only a pitch. However, Hyewon is clear about Ryeowon's true intentions. Ryeowon merely treated Jooeun as a chess piece. No matter how high Jooeun's status is, she's still going to maintain her power to control her artist.

Hyewon projected Jooeun's job offers onto the projector screen, there are 23 of them! Seeing this, Yonghwa is shocked. Amongst the offers, there's no lack of 2nd-tier magazines. He never expected the public had such a high degree of acknowledgment for Jooeun.

Of course, Hyewon did not reveal the offers that Jooeun currently considering. These included the offers from JYP Entertainment and YG Entertainment; two big superstar factories that had thrown her an expensive offer. With Jooeun's current status, a small studio like CN could no longer be of much help to her. Plus the contract that hung to Ryeowon's lips could no longer bind Jooeun. It seemed Ryeowon had already forgotten the battle with Vanity Fair and still believed Jooeun's success was due to luck.

"At present, because of the Oriental Trend, Jooeun is extremely popular. She has gained quite a bit of fame in the European and American markets. As long as we take advantage of the current situation, with my contacts, we can speedily get her onto multiple stages. However, she needs to be obedient towards me, otherwise, I can also destroy her."

It appeared, tonight's celebration dinner for Jooeun is more like an announcement dinner for Ryeowon taking on her new role. A manager that had been blacklisted by the Americans, with a blink of an eye, returned to Korea to continue to wreak havoc on the world.

Meanwhile, Jooeun already found out about the morning's meeting from Hyewon. Ryeowon had planned out her career path overseas. Of course, that would be ideal for most models, after all, this path had the most potential, but Jooeun is no longer 17 years old. Without enough background support, she couldn't be like a young model and start from the beginning as a fit model. It's not that she's afraid it would be too difficult, but she didn't have much youth left. The next 3 years for her, are critical.

"Jooeun, what do you plan to do now? Ryeowon isn't going to give up on you."

"I have my plans. Hyewon, thank you." Jooeun thanked her sincerely.

"Jooeun, this is actually a good opportunity for me to leave you. I know your manager will only get better and better. I am not good enough to stay by your side. You've taught me so much and made me understand a lot of things. Don't worry, we have a confidentiality agreement between us, I will not reveal your business to others. I just hope in the end, CN can let me go." Hyewon is determined; if she continued to work for Jooeun, she would only continue to be led by her and not have the opportunity to show off her managerial skills. She was impressed by Jooeun, but she also had her own goals.

"As you wish." Hyewon nodded.

"Are we still friends?"

"Of course!" Jooeun replied calmly.

"My photos, I'll leave them with you. It can serve as a warning for me. Jooeun, I will keep an eye on you. I'll watch as you leap onto the international stage."

"Hyewon, I also wish all the best for you."

Hyewon understood she had already completed her mission and it's time for her to retreat. According to Jooeun's personality, she never held back on her enemies. At the same time, she never made things difficult for her friends. So of course, she preferred to be her friend.

Not long after, Seoul's night sky is densely dotted with stars. At the same time, Jooeun is well prepared for a battle with Jung Ryeowon.

On the way to the hotel, Jeonghwan held onto Jooeun's hand, giving her strength. Jooeun looked at Jeonghwan and smiled. "No need to worry about me, I'm already used to it. I'm well prepared for a big battle, even if Ryeowon is a tough enemy."

"I just care about you."

"Hubby, there is no need to wait for me tonight. Be a good boy and go home to sleep. You work so hard every day, don't tire yourself out because of me." Jooeun gripped onto Jeonghwan's hand. "I promise, I won't allow myself to suffer any loss."

"You said it. If Jung Ryeowon makes you suffer at all, I will get GK to step in." Jeonghwan embraced Jooeun and gently placed a kiss on her forehead. The longer they were a couple, the more he grew to understand her and the more his heart ached for her. She had gone through so much difficulty to go from a caterpillar to a butterfly; the road to revival was not all smooth sailing.

Jooeun lifted her head and looked at the mole on Jeonghwan's earlobe; that is his mark, one that completely charmed her and made her feel light-headed.

"I will not give you the chance to step in. I've already prepared a present for Ryeowon. How dare she dream of being my manager! I'm going to make her have the guts to think about it, but no chance to say it. After all, she is well experienced at tearing apart her enemies."

Jeonghwan looked gently at Jooeun, at her confident eyes. It seemed he really wouldn't get the chance to step in.

7 PM.

Jooeun arrived at the celebration dinner. At the same time, Shinhye entered Seoul Hotel.

As CN's status is limited, they could only invite a few famous people. Even though Jooeun is the protagonist of tonight's celebration dinner, it is obvious Yonghwa only wanted to lure her in. His real intention was to allow Ryeowon to step out on the stage.

After Jooeun got tired of mixing with the guests, she sat down to rest. At this time, she found a waiter and whispered some instructions into his ear, he nodded obediently.

Afterward, amongst the cheers of everyone, Yonghwa walked up the red carpet to the stage.

"Today, apart from celebrating Jooeun becoming the Asian spokesperson for IPKN, we also have an important decision to announce." Yonghwa is wearing a handmade brown suit; he looked absolutely handsome on stage. "The role of CN's Artists Director will be taken over by my sister, the top manager, Jung Ryeowon. Let's welcome her to the stage to continue telling everyone about the good news."

Ryeowon stepped out on the red carpet wearing a long silver dress and a pair of 10cm high high-heeled shoes. She had a proud expression, like a queen, as she looked around. In the end, her gaze focused on Jooeun. Her gaze was scheming and sinister with a desire to conquer. Upon seeing her, Jooeun's eyebrows furrowed slightly.

"Hello everyone, Jung Ryeowon. From today onwards I will be CN Entertainment's Artists Director. I also have one more important announcement to make."

Ryeowon continued to look at Jooeun, like a hunter locked on its prey.

"I would like to announce. . ."

As soon as those words left her mouth, the waiter Jooeun had instructed earlier, suddenly walked on stage holding a phone and handed it to Ryeowon breaking her off mid-sentence. Upon seeing the contents on the phone, she immediately glared at Jooeun; she was surprised, angry, and unwilling to accept what she saw. But Jooeun maintained her smile the entire time. For Ryeowon, this smile is painful to look at.

"I would like to announce, early next year, we will be creating an amazing new band. We have already invited many superstars to be involved. Everyone keep your eyes peeled."

Yonghwa looked at Ryeowon confusedly. She is meant to announce she would become Jooeun's manager, why did she suddenly change her mind?

"Noona, what's wrong? The company already knows you will take over Jooeun, why are you suddenly like this?"

"Jooeun!" Ryeowon exclaimed as she ground her teeth.

Yonghwa turned to look at Jooeun. Did she intervene? How did she intervene?

"What did she show you?"
