Hae Joo’s firm refusal left Jin Han feeling deflated. The sense of betrayal was unspeakable, given the bond they had shared until now.
Jin Han also knew that if it hadn’t been for Hae Joo, he wouldn’t have faced such trials.
Yet, he personally bore them due to his boundless affection for actress Hae Joo.
His personal feelings for her remained, but he prioritized Hae Joo’s career as an actress.
“Ah, I’m sorry to interrupt your conversation.”
The office door was open.
Team Leader Oh had come to discuss something but ended up overhearing their conversation.
“We’ll talk later.”
“Understood.”
Jin Han closed the office door himself and returned to his seat, rubbing his agitated face and sighing.
“I don’t understand why Hae Joo is being so stubborn.”
“You keep trying to cover up the truth.”
“I admit this whole situation started off twisted. But we can’t continue like this.”
“So, you want to cover up the truth with more lies.”
Initially, Jin Han was only desperate to extinguish the fire.
However, he should have helped Hae Joo get a divorce, even if it meant taking a risk.
Maybe Do Jun had thoroughly studied the entertainment agency ecosystem in advance, pressuring Jin Han.
He had not anticipated being entangled in such a predicament due to Do Jun’s stratagem.
“So, you don’t care if your career as an actress ends?”
“Director Yoo Jin Han.”
Hae Joo’s tone changed as she said Jin Han’s name.
It was chilling and weighty, as if it came from a completely different person.
“I can’t live without Do Jun.”
“……!”
“Even if I can’t act anymore, it doesn’t matter. The love he has given me is too great, more than I deserve.”
“We can’t have the press conference like this.”
“Director!”
“Why is it bad to save Hae Joo first?”
“It’s wrong! Am I supposed to live well after making a fool of someone else?”
Jin Han ran his fingers through his hair, his face filled with frustration. The anger in his eyes was about to burst.
“The world isn’t as pure as you think, Hae Joo.”
“I know that much.”
“I met with my father today.”
“…….?”
“He mentioned Hae Joo directly. Do you understand what that means?”
“What does it mean?”
“He’s going to intervene personally. The financial loss from this incident is enormous.”
Hae Joo felt heavy-hearted.
She had unintentionally caused substantial harm to Jin Han and the company, and she had no excuse.
“Every advertisement contract tied to Hae Joo is about to be canceled. Just that alone is…”
Jin Han stopped mid-sentence and closed his eyes.
His head throbbed, and he took a deep breath to ease the pain.
“My father is old-school and won’t be persuaded.”
“And?”
“It’s all or nothing. And unfortunately, Hae Joo, you’re the target.”
“……!”
“If we don’t properly cut the tail this time, the backlash will fall on President Park Do Jun.”
“How can that be right?”
“The funds that run this company come from my father’s pocket. Isn’t that saying enough?”
For Jin Han, his personal feelings for Hae Joo were no longer the issue.
There was a high probability that Chairman Yoo was already making moves while Jin Han was indecisive.
“Please don’t escalate things further.”
“Sigh.”
“This incident should end with just the person who started the rumor being sacrificed.”
“So, you’re set on burying Do Jun.”
“Do you think the world will recognize you for this, Hae Joo? No, it won’t.”
The two stood firmly against each other.
If this continued, Hae Joo would become a disposable card for GN Entertainment, or she might end up ruining her career as an actress under Chairman Yoo’s scrutiny.
“Then you should abandon me, Director.”
“What?”
“If anyone is the biggest victim of this marriage, it’s Do Jun, not me.”
“Hae Joo!”
“Do Jun unknowingly got into this marriage and has been responsible for it ever since.”
“What does that matter now?”
“Because I survived thanks to him.”
Hae Joo was resolute.
She had decided not to trouble Do Jun anymore.
“Please, reconsider.”
“This situation started because of me. I should be the one to bear it.”
Changing Hae Joo’s mind was difficult.
A disheartened Jin Han got up and left the office.
Hae Joo, left with Hyun Seong, hung her head low.
“Unnie…”
“If it weren’t for Director Kwak’s film, I could let everything go.”
“Why say that?”
“I have to resolve what I’ve started.”
“Let’s do the press conference as you wish. Lying to cover up doesn’t seem right to me either.”
“Right?”
Hae Joo forced a smile, finding some comfort in Hyun Seong. At that moment, Jin Han returned.
He handed her an unmarked envelope.
“This is the script for the press conference.”
“……!”
“You need to step up, no matter what.”
“Sigh.”
“Please make a wise decision. The press conference is tomorrow at 10 AM.”
Reluctantly taking the envelope, Hae Joo stood up.
“My mind won’t change.”
“If this continues, you’ll have to face Chairman Yoo directly, not me.”
“Is that a threat?”
“It’s a warning. I’ll try to prevent it, but his determination is beyond imagination.”
“Determination?”
“He might have already taken action.”
My Ex-Girlfriend Is The Regent In The Female-dominant World (Male lead transmigrates to the matriarchal world)
Two years ago, Gu Sui picked up a homeless woman in ancient costume from the street.
Apart from occasionally claiming to be a princess from a female-dominant country due to illness, her figure, appearance, intelligence, and martial arts skills were impeccable.
Naturally evolving from roommates to girlfriends, as time went on, Gu Sui found it increasingly difficult to tolerate her queen syndrome.
“Mu Jiulu, can you stop controlling me inside and out? Let’s break up.”
Gu Sui made a breakup call, and since then, he couldn’t find any trace of her.
A year later, Gu Sui, who was planning to move, woke up the next day and found himself in a different place.
“Young Master, today is the day you choose your Wife-master through martial arts competition at Jade Dew Pavilion. Please get up quickly.”
Gu Sui: Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing?
As the only son of a general’s mansion in a female-dominant dynasty, the young empress personally issued a decree allowing Gu Sui to select his Wife-master through martial arts competition. Whoever could defeat him could marry him.
Gu Sui: “……”
He didn’t inherit the original owner’s martial prowess, so anyone could defeat him! And what the hell is a Wife-master?
Forced to come to Jade Dew Pavilion, the densely packed women below made Gu Sui’s agoraphobia act up, and his face was full of resistance.
Until he saw the Regent sitting on the second floor, with a smile on the corner of her lips, her eyes wicked and nonchalant.
Hmm… she looked a little familiar.
It turned out that the Regent also found him a little familiar.
Mu Jiulu fiddled with her bone clasp, her deep gaze locked on the man who was out of place in this world.
“Finally, I found you.”
