Minho did not explain himself to anyone, because he himself did not know, after being single for so many years, why he would suddenly feel moved by the Suzy that stuck up for Jennie.

Above all, the Artists Director that never cared about the rumors created by the media, immediately made a move this time after he was rumored to have an indecent relationship with Zhen Manni. He quickly exposed a scandal about an artist from another agency and diverted the media's attention; shutting their mouths up.

...

Upon returning to Manoban Entertainment, Charlene felt as unwanted as a sewer rat. She thought she had been quite discreet about returning, but as soon as she stepped through the front door, she was discovered by Minho and Jisoo. According to the meticulous way these two men handled their work, there was no way they wouldn't suspect Charlene's motives. Especially since Minho knew Charlene had emptied out Zhen Manni's home.

Charlene originally wanted to find a fellow manager who she was relatively close to, but before she entered the man's sight, Minho had already ordered security to tail her.

Charlene noticed this and felt herself erupt with anger. She was, after all, a staff member of Manoban Entertainment and had her own pride, yet, here she was being treated like a thief!

Charlene was so angry, she stormed directly over to Minho's office and pointed to him as she yelled, "What is the meaning of this?"

Minho closed up his documents and looked up at Charlene, "I'm afraid something might go missing at Manoban Entertainment."

"Minho, don't go too far."

"I'm sure you know better than anyone what happened at Zhen Manni's home," Minho replied in a cold tone.

Charlene was suddenly in a panic as her face lost all color. But, she couldn't conceal her cunning nature, "What should I know? All I know is, Manoban Entertainment got someone to beat up Zhen Manni."

Minho lifted his head and glared at Charlene. So, it turned out there was a reason why Zhen Manni turned out the way she did.

But, how did Charlene join the agency in the first place?

She wasn't dumb. When it came to business, she was extremely tricky.

As for what she said, she was obviously blaming Minho for not having any evidence and was showing that she too could go around saying whatever she liked.

"I will send you a contract termination from the lawyers soon."

Charlene's expression changed; she had not yet achieved her motive. However, since this was the decision of Manoban Entertainment's higher-ups, no matter how she was to struggle, there was no way she'd be able to change Lisa's mind. So, she said without reservations, "You will regret it."

Afterwards, Charlene left Minho's office. However, she did not leave Manoban Entertainment straight away. Instead, she headed over to one of Manoban Entertainment's waiting rooms. As expected, all the makeup artists and artists had the habit of leaving their phones lying around on the dressing tables.

Charlene found the right moment; she pretended to slip and fell onto one of the tables.

"Be careful."

Charlene held onto her waist, pretending to be in pain, as she slipped one of the phones into her pocket.

"Wasn't that Zhen Manni's manager? Is there something wrong with her?"

"Who knows? From the looks of it, she's probably going insane."

No one noticed what Charlene had done. Nor did anyone notice their phone had gone missing. After all, losing a phone in the waiting room was a common occurrence.

But, even though Charlene managed to steal a phone, there was no way she could unlock it. All she could do was take it back to Hua Rong and hand it over to Editor Lin, "Inside here, there is definitely a photo of Lisa and Jennie."

Editor Lin looked at her with a dark expression as he nodded his head, "Are you sure? I'll get my IT guys to unlock it."

"I'm pretty sure. After all, they are an artist of Manoban Entertainment's."

"Then, I'll wait to see a good show!"

...

During this time, while other agencies were busy debuting capable newcomers, Kim Entertainment had been taken over by someone new. As a result, their main focus had changed and were now investing in creating low budget films. As for Creative Century and YG, after a brief adjustment period, they were once again relaunched. For YG, although Chungha had lost a few important people, they also received an influx of new blood.

Meanwhile, Star King and Manoban Entertainment both received a setback. On the other hand, even though Manoban Entertainment had dealt with Zhen Manni themselves, Lisa wasn't affected too much. After all, Jennie was steadily advancing.

During this time, Star King's heir was studying in the US. After hearing about the multiple clashes between the two companies, he immediately returned home to stand guard.

But, no matter what happened; no matter how many newcomers they produced and how they used Jennie to create hype, they couldn't surpass Jennie's tolerance and professionalism. Meanwhile, under Lisa's protection, Jennie slowly became more mysterious.

She deliberately avoided contact with Lisa in front of the media, making it harder and harder for them to dig up information. This made the 'couple fans' more and more desperate.

At this time, Star King's heir, Johnny Suh, released a pair of twin models into the world. Within a few short days, they were all over the biggest headlines. According to rumors, these two models were trained to suppress Jennie and aimed to become the second Zhen Manni.

No matter if it was in terms of mysteriousness or attractiveness, Johnny was a worthy rival for Lisa. He was young, carefree and more approachable than Lisa.

His appearance was bound to cause a certain degree of impact on Manoban Entertainment.

Late at night, Jennie sat on the bed reading through the day's entertainment news. Amongst the articles was an unprofessional comparison between Lisa and Johnny. After seeing this, Jennie subconsciously started laughing, especially when she saw the part that compared their bodies.

Johnny was the type of man that liked exposing his body, but Lisa never showed off his attractive physique. Others may not have known about his body, but Jennie was well aware. Although she couldn't deny that Johnny's body was beyond average, when compared to Lisa, he was still miles apart.

"What are you laughing about?" After exercising, Lisa returned to the bedroom covered in sweat. Upon seeing Jennie laughing crazily, he couldn't help but question her.

Jennie lifted her head and looked at Lisa's perfect body which almost met Western standards. She shook her head.

Lisa approached her curiously and grabbed the entertainment magazine from her hands. After seeing the comparison article, he handed it back to Jennie, "Tell me, which part of me do you like the most?"

Both men were handsome, rich and capable with great physiques. Most women were attracted to money, but Jennie wasn't like most women. So, Lisa was curious.

"I like that you are capable," Jennie lowered her head and replied in a soft voice, hinting there was a double meaning.

After hearing this, Lisa lifted Jennie onto his lap and asked, "In what way? Huh?"

Jennie gasped in surprise as she hooked her arms around his neck, "You scared me. Hurry, go have a shower. You are covered in sweat."

"Answer me first."

"In every way," Jennie's cheeks burned red.

"I want more detail!"

"President Manoban, you're not normally this silly..." Jennie's heart raced uncontrollably. How could a woman answer a question like this?
