"Whether Jennie will be better off is not up to you to decide. You should care about yourself first." After speaking, Minho turned around to leave. However, as he reached the doorway, he looked back once more, "I've already lured the media away. If you want to leave, you better take advantage of this opportunity."

Zhen Manni looked at Minho and suddenly started laughing, "I know you also like my breasts and bottom, do you want to have your way with me?"

Minho scoffed, "You must be dreaming."

Zhen Manni laughed at herself as she got out of bed, "Minho, I don't want CICI. I just have one request, can you take me home?"

Since they had already known each other for 6 years, even though they didn't cross paths often, there was no reason for him to act ruthless towards her.

Minho measured the situation and nodded, "Go get changed."

Zhen Manni quickly got herself dressed up and left the hospital with Minho's assistance. However, as she returned home, she found her entire home was a mess and everything valuable was gone. Needless to say, it was definitely Charlene.

Only Charlene had the keys to Zhen Manni's apartment.

In this instant, Zhen Manni finally understood how it felt to be left with nothing. So, she fell apart as she knelt on the floor.

Because of his gentlemanly approach, Minho offered her his hand. However, this simple gesture was captured by a paparazzi lurking in a nearby building.

In an instant, a scandal was released online: [Manoban Entertainment's Artists Director Has Both Bae Suzy and Zhen Manni - Basking In The Joy Of Having Two Women!]

Some headlines were even worse; claiming that Minho acted indecently around artists. They claimed that he offered his hand to a model in despair, only to get bodily contact.

Regardless of the headlines, the photo of Minho helping Zhen Manni was real.

...

At the time that Jennie saw the scandal, she was at Suzy's apartment. The photo of Minho helping Suzy was enlarged on the TV screen, so she subconsciously looked at Suzy.

Suzy did not say anything. She simply turned off the TV because it was too noisy.

"Suzy, Minho isn't that type of person."

"What does it have to do with me what type of person he is?" Suzy asked Jennie confusedly, "Don't tell me you are trying to matchmake us? Let me tell you, it's impossible. Not only will I never be a stepmother, even if I was willing, with Minho's actions today, he will definitely be blacklisted."

"Maybe you've truly misunderstood him."

"No matter the understanding, they were indeed together at that time. The media did not make that part up," Suzy rolled her eyes and threw away the remote. "Jenjen, not everyone is like President Manoban. Before you met President Manoban, you also came across a jerk. I've already been hurt once..."

"I can't allow myself to be hurt a second time. I'm not stupid!"

"I was only mentioning it casually, why are you so angered?" Seeing Suzy's exaggerated reaction, Jennie felt the more she tried to deny it, the more she had something to hide.

Sometimes, the harder one tries to hide something, the quicker it gets revealed.

Seeing Jennie look at her in distrust, Suzy let out a frustrated sigh before saying in a serious tone, "Since our conversation has gotten to this point, I might as well be truthful with you. For a woman like me who has had 3 abortions, been in a relationship with a jerk and has suffered from domestic violence for 10 years, to be honest, no man will want me."

"However, even if I'm well aware of this, it doesn't mean I will settle for anything," Suzy said as she looked down at the carpeted floor. "Minho is really good, but he's good to everyone. I know he has no feelings for Zhen Manni, but I don't like men that have the aura of a holy God; it's almost like everyone is waiting for him to save them and to comfort them."

"So, Jenjen, I'd rather go look for a French man or a Dutch man so all I have to do is take care of our home."

After hearing Suzy's words, Jennie felt her heart ache as she thought about how Suzy had an abortion 3 times and had been in a relationship with a jerk.

Was this Suzy's fault?

However, Jennie understood that Suzy's past would forever haunt her and make her feel self-conscious at all times.

"Fine, let's not talk about Minho anymore. I need to go to France on the 18th, do you want to go there and relax with me?"

"Isn't Manager Manoban going with you? If he is, I don't want to go!" Suzy immediately refused.

Like this, Suzy had given Minho a death sentence in her heart. It was quite a pity. However, for some people, fate could not be forced.

Jennie was deep in thought when Lisa's phone call dragged her back to reality. In order not to upset Suzy, Jennie took her phone and went to the living room.

When she finally returned to the bedroom, Suzy looked at her and waved her hand, "Was it President Manoban? How long have you been out? I've never seen such a clingy husband!"

"It was work related," Jennie explained.

"Hurry go...I need to get some rest."

Jennie looked at Suzy helplessly as she turned and left the apartment.

Lisa's car was parked outside. As soon as he saw Jennie, he immediately opened the car door.

Suzy watched the couples' interaction from the window. It was impossible not to feel envious. When she thought about herself, she wondered where her future would take her.

After holding back for a short moment, Suzy pulled out her phone and made a phone call to an old classmate. She called to agree to a blind date because she desperately wanted to be in a true relationship.

...

Manoban Entertainment, 3pm.

After completing his work for the day, Jisoo came across Minho. He couldn't help but grab onto his arm and ask, "What's going on with you and Zhen Manni? What are you going to do about Bae Suzy?"

"What do you mean by what I'm going to do about Bae Suzy? What does she have to do with me?" Minho asked confusedly.

"If you aren't interested in her, why would you suffer in the cold for 5 hours and catch the flu because of her?"

"You're overthinking the situation," Minho rolled his eyes. "I only did it based on morals."

"So, you are the same with Zhen Manni?"

"Uh huh."

"Why don't you go save the world then?" Jisoo glared at him. He originally wanted to leave, but as he turned around he suddenly noticed Charlene's presence in the agency, "Why is that woman here?"

Minho followed Jisoo's gaze and looked at Charlene. Afterwards, he patted Jisoo on the shoulder, "Go handle your own matters, I'll deal with this small issue."

Jisoo turned and left while Minho walked towards Charlene. This thief that had emptied out Zhen Manni's apartment actually had the nerve to appear at Manoban Entertainment.

However, subconsciously, he started to think about Jisoo's question earlier and Suzy's name.

Was he sticking his nose into too many people's business and getting too carried away with justice?

With this thought, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

As the Artists Director, he was used to handling PR matters for his artists and speaking eloquently in front of the media; he did this because of his professionalism.

His actions never had any deeper meaning.

The only time he acted impulsively was when he stood in front of a government official's home for 5 hours...
