Trial Marriage Husband: Need To Work Hard (Book 2)

236

"How could you say you're OK?" Suzy looked at the roughly 1-meter high stage and thought about the way Jennie had fallen off. She quickly grabbed Jennie's arm and examined it, "You will definitely appear on the news. Did you think 'other people' didn't see it?"

Suzy understood Jennie's concern, so she replaced Lisa's name with 'other people'.

However, Jennie simply laughed, "Lucky the floor was carpeted."

At this time, the host also approached Jennie as she helped her up, "Can you still walk? Do you want to go to the hospital?"

Jennie shook her head. The pain was actually more obvious at the moment she was pounced upon. In comparison, she didn't feel much when she fell off the stage.

"In that case, have some rest. If you need anything, let us know!" the host comforted, "If there's anything, don't hold it in..."

After speaking, the host returned to the stage and alleviated the awkwardness from the scene that just happened. The positive atmosphere quickly recovered and the awards ceremony resumed. However, the news of Jennie's fall quickly leaked to the public...

The security managed to capture the man in the cap. He was a 17 to 18-year-old with a face covered in acne and a rebellious vibe.

"He said he is your loyal fan. He liked you so much he lost control for a moment..." Rosé relayed the message from the security to Jennie. "Since he was only a child and you're fine, the security didn't feel right to detain him. So they simply lectured him a bit and let him go."

"Do you believe him?" Rosé asked after scanning her eyes over the crowd.

Jennie shook her head; she was level-minded. There was at least one thing she was certain about, "It definitely has something to do with the people at Star King."

"But we don't have any evidence."

"Then, we will just have to endure it for now," Jennie replied calmly in a gentle voice. Perhaps Suzy didn't know, but Rosé was certain that at this time, Jennie was simply hiding her true intention. There was no way she was going to let this incident go.

"Do you want to leave first?"

"No, it's OK. You still have awards to receive. I'll get Rosé to help me back to my seat," Jennie held in her pain as she stood up. Her legs were a bit shaky.

Suzy quickly held onto her and couldn't help but yell, "Are you crazy? You're still trying to be brave...?"

"I'm not trying to be brave," Jennie thought about how she had slipped in the bathroom and how Lisa had stayed up all night to cover the floor. If she was to return home early, Lisa would definitely be worried, "Lisa likes to blow things out of proportion."

Suzy froze for a moment...

It turned out Jennie acted this way because she didn't want Lisa to be overly worried.

"You...I really don't know what to do with you."

Not long after, Jennie returned to her seat. Everyone around her expressed their concern, whether they were familiar with her or not. However, Qin Yu was different. Jennie noticed with her strong instinct, as she returned to her seat, a slight smile swept over Qin Yu's face.

No matter if she meant it or not, this smile was implanted in Jennie's heart.

Jennie had always been a vengeful person. If this incident really had something to do with the people at Star King, she would definitely make them pay for it.

...

Manoban Entertainment, Minho was about to release the news article he prepared. However, at this moment, he heard news from the awards ceremony: Jennie had gotten into an accident!

She was pounced upon onstage and ended up falling off!

Minho immediately headed over to the CEO's office to find Lisa sitting in his office chair with a dark expression. The coldness emanating from his body made one short of breath; if one was to look at him for too long, they would suffocate and die.

"President. The article...should I still release it?"

"After I leave the office, release it..." Lisa signed his last document and handed it to Minho before grabbing his jacket and heading for his private lift.

At this time, Minho noticed Lisa's signature was messier than usual. In fact, he had even made corrections on some documents. It was clear to see how fired up he was inside and how painfully he was trying to endure his anger.

The only reason he had not yet released his anger on the spot was because he knew Jennie was trying her best to hide her pain. He was worried about her...

..but he knew she didn't want him to be overly worried; all this was obvious from analyzing Jennie's actions.

He better not find out who instigated everything behind-the-scenes!

Otherwise, it wouldn't be easy for them to get past stepping over his bottom line.

...

Meanwhile, during the awards ceremony intermission, Suzy was inside one of the bathroom cubicles. She overheard a few female celebrities discussing Jennie's fall. Of course, this industry had always been one where people stepped on others to boost themselves. So, when they saw Jennie's current progress, they couldn't help but vent words of envy.

"Did you guys hear anything about who instigated it?"

"No matter who it is, they did a good job, don't you think?"

"Let me tell you quietly, someone saw Star King's Qin Yu leave the hall for a while. It seemed like she was doing something sneaky."

"Did you see it?"

"My assistant saw it. But, shhhh...don't speak too loud. This is a battle between Star King and Manoban Entertainment, it's best that we stay out of it."

Suddenly, a loud bang echoed through the bathroom as Suzy stepped out of her cubicle.

The small-time models' expressions changed as they looked at Suzy. They gradually lowered their heads, picked up their respective handbags and left the scene of their gossip.

However, Suzy chased after them and blocked their way, "Who's assistant saw it?"

The women looked uneasy as they lowered their heads and pretended not to hear a thing. But, who did they think Susy was? She simply smiled and said, "How dare you offend Manoban Entertainment, do you still want to survive in this industry?"

The women froze. After weighing up the pros and cons they decided to share everything they had heard to Suzy. Including how one of their assistants had seen Qin Yu leave the hall to find her manager.

Suzy closed her eyes for a moment and controlled her composure. She approached Jennie's side with a smile and announced, "We've found the culprit..."

Jennie looked surprisingly at Suzy as Suzy gave her a wink and pointed her chin towards Qin Yu who was sitting next to her.

Jennie played along by responding, "Who is it?"

"I've already reported the incident to President Manoban. This was not something to be taken lightly. After all, it could have been life-threatening. Lisa said that he will ask the people at Star King for an explanation. If they can't provide him with one, he will demand that they blacklist her so she can no longer survive in the industry..." Suzy deliberately spoke louder than usual, "Isn't that right, Miss Qin?"

Qin Yu was suddenly thrown in a panic as she stuttered, "I...how...how would I know?"

"Someone's assistant already saw everything...do you really not know?"

Qin Yu analyzed the scene in front of her and found Suzy's words weren't very trustworthy, so she calmed down and replied, "What did they see? Do you have evidence?"
