The press crowded the set, leaving no room to step inside, engaging in a fierce competition for coverage.
At the appointed time, Director Kwak revealed himself, followed by prominent figures in the film industry, wearing stern expressions.
Haeju took her place quietly behind her seniors. In such a moment, Dojun silently sent his support her way.
“Don’t be scared.”
With a nod, Haeju humbly joined her hands, raising her gaze. Meanwhile, Director Kwak began reading from the prepared script in front of the microphone.
“I am just one person who loves movies.”
In his composed tone, the suppressed emotions he had endured became evident. Amidst the embarrassment, a painful sigh escaped as he read the script.
“While in the midst of film production, we received an incomprehensible proposal from a certain company.”
In this press conference, GN’s name was not mentioned, as the purpose was a strong warning before legal disputes escalated.
However, rumors had spread on the internet about Director Kwak’s conflict with GN, even though he did not mention it during the conference.
He detailed the unjust actions by GN he had experienced, even explaining the background of the halted shooting due to the absorption of external directors.
“Amidst the greed of a certain company, this incident caused suffering for actors, investors, and staff, including myself.”
Following this, elders in the film industry took turns condemning GN’s wrongful actions, raising their voices.
“In the unlikely event! If something unreasonable happens again, we, filmmakers, will confront any company without hesitation.”
Real-time articles poured in incessantly, and within the heavy atmosphere, punitive measures were not forgotten.
“In addition, we intend to expel the company and filmmakers who have played the role of underlings for a certain company from the South Korean film industry.”
After an hour-long press conference, Dojun drove Haeju and Hyunseong away.
“Both of you, don’t leave the house until I give permission.”
“President, what about me?”
“Hyunseong, wait at home too.”
The car Haeju was in exited the press conference venue. With a silent farewell to Director Kwak, Dojun headed towards GN Entertainment.
Manager Song, who was driving, expressed concern.
“President, wouldn’t it be better to pretend you don’t know about Director Yoojinhan?”
“He won’t die for no reason.”
“Getting involved unnecessarily will only cause headaches.”
“I’m not going to GN Entertainment because Director Yoojinhan likes it.”
“Do you have another thought?”
While working in the securities market, Dojun often came to know the hidden circumstances of corporate leaders. Through this incident, he had learned quite a bit about Chairman Yoo.
One of the rumors was the deteriorating relationship between Chairman Yoo and Hwang Gyeongok.
It was rumored that an unprecedented divorce lawsuit was about to unfold amid preparations for the twilight divorce.
“Hanjintae seems to want to cause an accident at least once, so he might need a preventive shot.”
Hanjin was always intertwined in the relationship between Chairman Yoo and his wife. Dojun suspected that he had subtly manipulated their relationship, silently filling his pockets.
Han Jin-tae tried to gain Chairman Yoo’s favor by promoting Director Kwak’s movie.
Unfortunately, at that very moment, Hae-ju’s marriage scandal erupted, leading to them being exploited.
GN found itself in a difficult situation due to Director Kwak’s press conference.
It was evident that Han Jin-tae would resort to schemes to evade responsibility.
“I’m here.”
Manager Song slowed down as they approached GN Entertainment’s building.
Two sturdy men guarded the main entrance.
“They don’t seem to be GN Entertainment employees.”
“Park the car.”
Dojun personally opened the car door and stepped outside.
The two men guarding the entrance exchanged glances at Dojun’s unexpected appearance.
Walking confidently toward them, Dojun halted.
“I’m here to meet Director Yoo Jin-han.”
“You can’t. Please leave.”
The eyes of the two men facing Dojun wavered.
While they hesitated, Dojun boldly searched their jacket pockets.
“What are you doing?”
He found a card key labeled ‘External Entry’ in their pockets.
Dojun placed the card key on the sensor.
With a short mechanical sound, the door opened, and the men roughly grabbed him.
Dojun shrugged off their hold on his arm and raised his index finger.
“Don’t touch me.”
“I told you not to enter.”
“I’m the major shareholder of this company. Understand?”
The men, not comprehending his words, furrowed their brows.
Regardless, Dojun took the card key and proceeded up the central staircase.
As he ran up to the third floor, two men rushed to stop him.
Quickly ascending to the third floor, Dojun arrived in front of Jinhwan’s office.
In the corridor, three men with a similar atmosphere loitered and then guarded cautiously.
“You can’t come in here.”
“Step aside.”
Dojun showed no signs of yielding.
In an attempt to enter the office like it was his own, the men were bewildered.
Ex-husband Wants Reconciliation
One-line summary: Chasing the wife to the crematorium (making an effort to attract someone who has become indifferent), the female lead doesn’t look back, the second male lead takes the position.
Intro:
To repay the kindness of the older generation, Su Mu crossed into a female-dominated world and became a live-in daughter-in-law of the Yan family, single-handedly saving the Yan family from fire and water.
But her husband, Yan Jiyue, the eldest son of the Yan family, treated her with sarcasm and never showed her a good face.
It wasn’t until after Su Mu’s death that this pampered and arrogant young master shed a few fake tears and pretended to want to die for love.
This life’s kindness was enough. If there was a next life, she would definitely kick Yan Jiyue away.
Who knew that the heavens would be so kind as to allow her to be reborn, returning to the time when she had just married into the Yan family.
Su Mu glanced at the Yan eldest son, who still spoke coldly to her, and threw a divorce letter in front of him.
“Let’s divorce!”
***
Yan Jiyue never imagined that he would be reborn. He happily went to find Su Mu, wanting to make up for the mistakes he had made in his ignorant youth.
Wasn’t the reason the heavens allowed him to be reborn to let him reconcile with Su Mu?
But when he pushed open the door to Su Mu’s room, the person lying on the bed was another man.
Su Mu’s personal attendant, Xie Yi.
Yan Jiyue hated him so much that his teeth itched. In front of Su Mu, Xie Yi was a gentle and considerate whisperer of sweet nothings, but in reality, he was vicious-hearted and deliberately sabotaged their husband and wife relationship.
In the previous life, it was he who secretly hid in Su Mu’s coffin and committed suicide, stealing a step ahead of him to be buried with Su Mu.
Yan Jiyue’s eyes were filled with hatred as he cursed, “What kind of thing are you? Your background is lowly, what right do you have to occupy Su Mu?”
Xie Yi looked at the sleeping Su Mu and no longer pretended to be a whisperer of sweet nothings.
He proudly stuck out his belly, “I have the right because my belly is capable of giving the Wife-master a daughter.”
***
Yan Jiyue was consumed with jealousy. He spread rumors that Xie Yi had once been branded with the mark of a “harlot” on his chest.
But on the night Xie Yi cut off the flesh bearing that mark, Su Mu suddenly realized something was amiss.
“How did you know the exact moment I was poisoned? And why did you show up a month early?”
Xie Yi remained silent, blood from his wound soaking through his robes. His sapphire eyes brimmed with anguish – or was it just a flawless act?
Between a once-arrogant husband now seeking redemption, and a gentle soul willing to die for her – who truly held the darkest secrets? And could it be that Su Mu and Yan Jiyue weren’t the only ones given a second chance at life…?
