Hyeonsim didn’t show any signs outwardly, even though she silently stuck out her tongue inwardly.
“Why Seojingyo and not Cha Seonghyuk?”
Heeran flexed her fist and made a snorting sound.
“Why not create a dating rumor for people about to get married? So they can receive grand congratulations and pave the way for a smooth path?”
“Cha President and Chaeyeongin, going as far as marriage?”
“You’ll know when you go inside the wedding venue, but for now, Seojingyo said Chaeyeongin will be the woman he marries.”
“Did you make it explode to make Cha President angry?”
A meaningful smile appeared on Heeran’s lips.
“No, the target is different.”
“Who is it?”
“Chaeyeongin’s future in-laws.”
“Cha President’s parents?”
“Yes.”
Hyeonsim’s eyes were full of questions. Although she heard about the plan to target someone, she still couldn’t comprehend whose plans they were or why.
“Why target Cha President’s parents?”
“Heeran, make sure you catch the eye of Chaeyeongin’s future in-laws.”
“…”
“How can any in-laws be lenient when the woman who will become their daughter-in-law has a dating rumor with another man? Especially when the other man is none other than Chairman and Madam of SL Group. Regardless of the truth, it will be uncomfortable.”
It could be seen as a kind of blemish.
“It’s good if it makes them resentful, and if this incident becomes the reason for the marriage to break, even better.”
Hyeonsim looked at Heeran, who was smiling while squinting, and couldn’t help but feel astonished.
“Why go that far…”
“Well, who asked them to mess with me? It serves them right.”
Caught up with such a fierce woman by accident.
Hyeonsim swallowed the words that were swirling inside her mouth.
Even the sorry feeling towards Chaeyeongin, whom she disliked so much, began to arise. The reason Heeran started to dislike Yeongin so much was because she knew too well that she was the one responsible for it.
If Heeran’s popularity continues, someday she might try to trample on others like this. Hyeonsim shuddered at the thought that even someone like Baek Heeran could become like that again.
“Do they know it was you who triggered the dating rumor over there?”
“How would they know?”
While Heeran was confident that she wouldn’t get caught, Yeongin, Jingyo, and even Seonghyuk, all knew about the dating rumor.
The journalist who wrote the article with the title “exclusive” was famous as Baek Heeran’s dedicated reporter, and the picture in the article was taken at the Jeju Island filming location, making it even harder to suspect someone else.
Yesterday, Yeongin, who had a confrontation with Heeran, and Seonghyuk, who warned Heeran severely, both knew about Heeran’s actions.
“What if Cha President finds out?”
“If he finds out, so what? What can he do? Even though he said that, wouldn’t he be regretful if I go elsewhere? An actress who couldn’t secure a contract with the leading actor, how incompetent would the president appear.”
Hyeonsim changed the subject, feeling uncomfortable hearing Heeran’s chuckles.
“When is the prosecutor’s investigation?”
“Tomorrow at 10 in the morning.”
“Faster than I thought…”
“I want to finish it quickly.”
“Yeah, why drag it out? Let’s finish it quickly.”
A subtle smile flickered on Hyeonsim’s face and then disappeared.
“While coordinating the schedule, someone like an investigator or something said they would take care to keep the rumors from spreading.”
“Good.”
Hyeonsim’s mind, nodding slowly, was racing faster than ever.
The next afternoon.
After finishing the team meeting and returning to the office, Haeyoon rushed to Yeongin.
“Team leader! Did you see the article?”
Yeongin’s gaze narrowed.
“Do I have another dating rumor?”
“Not today, it’s about Baek Heeran.”
“With whom?”
“Not a dating rumor. It’s about her being involved in a scandal with a third-generation chaebol and undergoing prosecution investigation.”
Upon hearing it, Yeongin immediately had a hunch that the third-generation chaebol in question was O Changgeun.
Just hearing the news of O Changgeun’s arrest made her think that whether Baek Heeran was guilty or not, it wouldn’t just pass by, and that thought from that day had now become a reality.
“Take a look for now.”
Yeongin took Haeyoon’s offered phone and scrolled down to read the article.
Starting with a picture of Baek Heeran with her face perfectly covered by a hat and mask, sitting in the back seat of a luxury sedan in the villa parking lot, followed by pictures of the car entering and leaving the prosecutor’s office, and arriving at the villa parking lot with Baek Heeran getting out of the car without a hat and mask. Her face looked exhausted, almost as if she had undergone a high-intensity interrogation.
Although it was mosaic-covered, Yeongin recognized at a glance that the person getting in and out of the driver’s seat was Hyeonsim.
“Did Ms. Baek Heeran also do drugs?”
“Well…”
The deputy team leader jumped up from his seat and shouted at that moment.
“Ms. Baek Heeran, a new article is out!”
Haeyoon asked eagerly.
My Arch-enemy Sealed My Memory and Said That He is My Husband
This is an incredibly captivating story that you absolutely shouldn’t miss! I’ll give a brief introduction here, and below you’ll find a detailed synopsis of the plot.
The female lead is a fierce and powerful demon king. The male lead is a once-in-a-millennium celestial lord, admired by the entire cultivation world.
They are equally matched, legendary rivals who have battled for centuries.
In the final duel, the female lead is gravely injured. The male lead saves her, seals her memories, and hides her true identity. He tells her that he is her fiancé. His entire life has been flawless—except for the one thing he never expected, never controlled, and never wanted to control: falling for his greatest enemy. She is his inner demon, his obsession.
When the female lead regains her memories, she is furious at his deception.
She makes his life a living hell.
And somehow, the male lead—possibly a total masochist—doesn’t mind at all. In fact, he’s happy she’s paying attention to him.
Yep, we’re back to my favorite trope: male lead suffering. If you love this kind of story, jump into the pit with me now!!!
Intro
Dong Xia lost her memory.
Her handsome and extremely powerful fiancé Li Qing comforted her: “It’s okay if you can’t remember. I’ll always be with you.”
Everyone thought Dong Xia’s ancestors must have burned incense to get such a perfect fiancé. He was the number one person in the immortal realm, yet he remained chaste and only loved her.
…
The day before marrying her fiancé, Dong Xia finally remembered everything.
She wasn’t suffering from memory loss at all.
Her arch-enemy had made her fake her death, destroyed her cultivation, replaced her memories, and pretended to be her deeply in love fiancé.
No wonder he said, “It’s okay if you can’t remember”!
Dong Xia laughed coldly as she pulled out her long knife: Li Qing, prepare to die 🙂
*
Li Qing, as the supreme being of the immortal realm, was the people’s shining beacon.
The only unknown stain in his life was his affection for Dong Xia, the ruler of the demon realm.
In the final battle of the war between immortals and demons, the sky collapsed and the earth shattered. The ruler of the demon realm was finally slain under the sword of the supreme being of the immortal realm, and everyone in the immortal realm applauded.
The cultivation world lost a ruler of the demon realm.
And in the back mountain of Li Qing’s cave dwelling, he secretly hid away a fiancée.
Notes:
1. The female lead is white on the outside, black on the inside, and the queen of flattery; the male lead repeatedly tests the edge of darkness, a VIP guest at the crematorium.
2. Fantasy cultivation world setting.
