Photos? GK staff definitely had some. But there was no way they'd share it with the outside world. Since she was still technically employed at GK, getting her hands on a photo wasn't a difficult task. But what about compensation for breaching her contract? The compensation would be close to one hundred million! Soomin didn't dare to take the risk.

"As long as you can get a photo for me, you can ask for anything." Sunghoon boasted.

"But the fate of exposing one of GK's secrets is not a pleasant sight."

"That's an easy issue to deal with. If one of GK's staff drops their phone and someone happens to pick it up, who's to blame? Even if Lee Jeonghwan is to seek responsibility, he would target the person that dropped their phone and not you."

Soomin contemplated for a moment and felt what he said was quite reasonable. "What do I get out of it?"

"Shares to Gossip Studio. Once Cha Jooeun's scandal is exposed, Gossip will become famous. Did you think there would be a lack of people willing to throw money at you?" Sunghoon smiled frivolously at Soomin.

Soomin thought for a moment. Just the thought of GK's artists and even Cha Jooeun groveling at her feet made her exceptionally happy. This cheered her up more than making money. So in the end, she nodded her head and signed a contract. Her task now was to head back to GK and obtain evidence of intimacy between Cha Jooeun and other artists. She could only hope everything ran smoothly, otherwise, if she got caught by Lee Jeonghwan, she would die without a trace!

After the celebration dinner, Jeonghwan and Jooeun returned home reeking alcohol.

From the moment they entered their home, Jooeun grabbed onto Jeonghwan as they spun around dizzily. In the end, the couple fell onto the sofa. Jooeun lay on top of Jeonghwan's body and rubbed her nose against his neck. "Hwan, I'm really happy."

"I can tell." Jeonghwan allowed her to continue rubbing her nose against him. It was rare for him to see Jooeun this relaxed and to see her smile from her heart – especially in front of so many strangers.

If she could remain this happy, he was willing to do anything.

"What else can you do? Can you dance? Can you?"

Jeonghwan was wrapped so tightly in this woman's embrace but she had no sense at all. So he helped her up and led her into a dance on the slippery tiled floor. Of course, when leading a drunkard, he could only do the simplest dance.

Jooeun leaned on Jeonghwan's body as she moved along with his movement. Neither of them spoke, but Jooeun felt the atmosphere at the moment was beautiful. They didn't need to say anything nor do anything, all she needed to do was follow his movement until the end of time.

After what felt like half a day, Jooeun mumbled. "Have you thought about what to do if the people at GK don't accept our relationship? Hwan, did you know? Tonight my heart was really unsettled? I was really worried that there'd be a second or third Lee Sungkyung here to seek trouble. If that were to happen, I will blame myself and be really upset."

"But you were so confident when you were up against Lee Sungkyung."

"How could I let others bully you?" Jooeun replied naturally. "Even I can't bear to complain about you, so others definitely don't have the right. How could I not be angry?"

Jeonghwan hugged her and suddenly revealed a happy smile. Although he had experienced being doted on like this is in the past, being protected by Jooeun again made him feel exceptionally sweet. His heart had never been filled with so much sweetness.

"From now on, if we come across a situation like this again, I will still give my all."

Jeonghwan suddenly froze in place, wrapped his arms around her, and pressed her against the sofa. "I don't need you to give your all, I just need you to give yourself to me."

Under the dim and warm lighting, Jooeun still clearly saw Jeonghwan's handsome face. Perhaps, it was because she had already memorized his features. So she lifted her head and nibbled on Jeonghwan's lower lip. She then intertwined her alcohol-infused tongue with his.

She defeated him with one kiss. Jooeun hooked Jeonghwan's neck and said in a tipsy tone. "What should I do? I feel like I'm falling more in love with you."

"You've only realized now?"

"I sweetly accept my fate." After speaking, Jooeun flipped over and pressed Jeonghwan under her body. "Let me take the initiative for once."

The morning after the GK celebration dinner, rumors started spreading about GK banning Lee Sung Kyung. At this time, GK's PR department did not deny anything, hinting that the rumors weren't merely rumors and were the truth.

As for who started the rumors, everyone within the industry was well aware. Apart from GK themselves, no one would dare do such a thing.

It was actually understandable. GK had always been extremely united, so the fact that Lee Sungkyung was brave enough to provoke Lee Jeonghwan's authority meant she was going to leave the agency sooner or later. Hence, it was better for them to swiftly get rid of her. When it came to things like this, GK had always been swift like lightning.

This was because they wanted to send everyone a message. Anyone brave enough to ruin the unity in GK would end up like Lee Sung Kyung. By making Lee Sungkyung the first artist to be directly banned by GK, they wanted to create a shocking impact. No matter who you are, if you dare to cross GK's bottom line, you will be thrown into a place beyond redemption.

Sungkyung sat in the hospital room as she read the news on her phone. Crystal-like teardrops rolled down her pale and wounded face. Who would have thought? Overnight, GK would be able to completely destroy her. Yet, she once ridiculously thought her status was enough to threaten Lee Jeonghwan.

Threaten Lee Jeonghwan? This was the biggest joke in the world.

She sat in the hospital bed as she laughed and cried. In the end, she smashed the phone and electronic equipment around her. If she was to find out that her home had been emptied out by Soomin, what other extreme reaction would she have?

At this time, the most surprising thing was, the first person to visit her turned out to be Changwook.

Of course, Changwook did not come empty-handed. He came with a compromise. "Although GK has never owed you anything, you have indeed been in the agency for many years. The President has decided to let you keep heybiblee. That is already his biggest compromise."

"Is this out of pity?" Sungkyung asked Changwook angrily.

"What do you think?" Changwook replied. "You don't need to think of how pitiful you are, nor should you hate Jooeun. Because sooner or later, someone was bound to replace you in GK. Even if this person wasn't Jooeun, it would have been someone else. The worst move you made was to beat Im Yoona."

Sungkyung was suddenly speechless. She turned her head to look out the window and after quite some time, she finally responded. "Yoona isn't as pitiful as I am."

"That's because Yoona has a clear conscience." After speaking, Changwook gave heybiblee's information to Sungkyung. "Don't ever appear in the modeling industry and definitely don't appear in front of the President again. This is his ultimate warning for you."

"What else can I do?" Sungkyung laughed at herself as she held onto the information. "Even though I've lost to Jooeun, it doesn't mean she will be better off!"
