Taejoo's information came through. The paparazzi that were following Jooeun were from South Korea and were an extremely professional team. He also found out they were in action because they had met with Sublime's Artists Director, Ahn Bohyun. The answer was obvious.

Kangjun's expression was abnormally upset. He suddenly realized a lot of things. Back during his incident with Jiwon, although the incident was exposed by Hyomin and Bohyun, the substantive evidence came from the hidden flashes that followed them around.

In other words, was that Yeji's doing? Did she want to play the same trick again? She had already taken Jiwon's life, did she also want Jooeun's?

"I'm not sure what those people managed to capture."

"I really liked President Seo at one stage. I felt she was competent and strong like a heroine. Who would have thought she'd turn out to be as cruel as a wolf?" Minjung couldn't help but sigh.

Jooeun sat on the hotel bed, she was immensely calm. No matter how ruthless Yeji was, it would never stop her determination to become an international supermodel. Although Yeji was ruthless, Jooeun could be even more ruthless.

Seeing Jooeun remain silent, Kangjun was slightly terrified. After being around her for quite some time, he had developed a certain level of understanding towards her. Even though she was quiet like usual, one could decipher her mood through slight variations in her silence.

For example, when she was with Jeonghwan, her silence carried with it a relaxed and comfortable mood. When with outsiders, her silence made her feel unapproachable.

And at this moment, Jooeun's silence had reached a stage where one should be terrified. The more she didn't speak, the more it meant she was thinking of a way to strike back at Yeji.

Yejii had already pushed things this far. Jooeun's future would definitely not be at Sublime.

"What do you plan to do?"

"What else could I do? I'm just going to let her take as many photos as she wants." Jooeun smiled slightly like she didn't care. But Kangjun knew, if Yeji was a mantis, then Jooeun was an Oriole.

"All you need to focus on right now is to walk the YSL show to the best of your ability. Everything else is not as important as this."

"But I don't think Yeji will let me appear on the runway. Right now she is tossing up between using me and destroying me." Jooeun's mind was clear as she lifted her head and looked into Kangjun's eyes. "If you were Yeji, which would you choose?"

"The thing is, I don't think she's captured anything yet."

"Not necessarily." Jooeun was referring to the incident with the male model. As long as Yeji wanted to, she could even use such a small encounter to destroy Jooeun after careful planning.

"Just focus on preparing for the show. Everything else, I will handle it." Kangjun reassured.

Jooeun smiled. She trusts Kangjun, but not 100%. In this entire world, the only person she could trust entirely is Jeonghwan.

"Jooeun, I didn't know you were in such a difficult situation. Do you think the reason why Yeji is stalking you is partly because she thinks Taejoo and I are just covering up for you and you are the actual one that is related to GK?"

After hearing Minjung's question, Jooeun shook her head. "No way. If Yeji was suspicious of my relationship with GK, it wouldn't have been difficult for her to guess what my relationship with Jeonghwan is. From the start, she has never expected that Jeonghwan would be interested in me at all."

"Why?"

"Because Jeonghwan has no interest in her. In her eyes, if Jeonghwan has no interest in her, then how could he possibly waste his time on a small model like myself?"

Deep inside, Yeji was an extremely self-centered person. She never allowed others to be better than her and didn't allow others to jump out of her control.

"How arrogant!" Although Minjung felt a little better after hearing Jooeun's words, she knew Jooeun had worked hard to cover up her relationship with Jeonghwan and wasn't at the stage to reveal it yet. So after returning to her room, she decided to send a message to Taejoo. After sending the message, she felt she was out of her mind as her face reddened and she lay on the bed.

"How about we live together?"

Taejoo was in the middle of dealing with some documents. Upon seeing Minjung's message, he received a huge shock. He immediately replied to Minjung with a whole heap of question marks. This low EQ man actually thought Minjung had sent her message to the wrong person.

"Aren't we engaged? Let's pretend to cohabit. You already have my keys after all. How about you drop by every now and then?"

"Are you out of your mind?"

"..."

Having a low EQ was practically an illness!

After Minjung and Kangjun returned to their respective rooms, Jooeun pulled open the curtains in her room and savored the view of London at night. She thought to herself, whatever way Yeji decided to challenge her, she would throw the same method back. But what if Yeji wanted to take her life?

The next morning. Jooeun was awoken by a knock on the door. She expected it to be either Minjung or Kangjun. However, after she got changed and opened the door, standing in front of her was the young male model from the previous day.

"I finally found you, beautiful Asian long legs." The man reached out his hands for a hug. But Jooeun quickly dodged to the side.

"My name is Gaby. I really want to get to know you, my goddess. You are so sexy."

Jooeun did not bother to respond to him as she closed her door in his face and called Kangjun. At this time, for a man like this to appear in front of her, Jooeun couldn't help but tie it back to the people at Sublime.

Kangjun easily sent the male model away before entering Jooeun's room. "You are currently being followed. For an indecent person like this to cling to you out of nowhere, it's definitely suspicious."

Even Kangjun had noticed something was off, how could Jooeun not know?

"Yeji is really closing in!"

Not only this. Bohyun was even more sinister than Yeji, knowing deep down that Jooeun was not easy to deal with. If things were to continue to drag on, she would definitely retaliate sooner or later, so he did not ask for Yeji's permission and placed the photos in his possession directly online.

The headline read,

At the same time, the article suggested that the writer was an insider. It hinted that he knew Cha Jooeun had a boyfriend but was flirting with the 'back-view dream man' and seducing a male model overseas. Seeing her three-timing, he couldn't continue to stand idly by.

Jooeun was famous for being aloof from the world. So with this 'lustful' claim, the netizens were quickly fired up and throwing in their insults. Female celebrities were always treated differently from male celebrities. Even if a male celebrity had rumors like this, it would easily be overlooked. But when it came to female celebrities, even if they were innocent, people would still latch on and refuse to let go. On top of everything, the rumors would easily be turned into a scandal and be brought up time and time again.

Lust!

Everyone was caught by surprise. Bohyun threw his attack too quick and too ruthlessly. Especially because his attack was related to a lustful topic and this was something men often searched online, the popularity of the article, quickly flew to the top of search rankings.

At this time, Jeonghwan's flight had just landed.
