"The one you selected must be hideous. I can't take it."

'Damn it!'

'What did you ask me that question for then?'

Y/N suddenly gave Kai the side-eye and questioned, "Why are you still standing here?"

"Didn't you tell me to come here?"

She waved her hand impatiently and said, "There's nothing more for you to do, go away."

She was just like a scum who would shirk responsibility after taking liberties with someone.

'She's too ruthless!'

It had been an entire week since the release of 'Female Fortress Leader' which truly shot to fame this time.

In seven days, not only did the box office sales catch up with that of 'Islander', but many cinemas that previously refused to screen the film were now begging to let them do so.

That wasn't the end of it. They even promised to increase the number of screenings.

"Damn it, the box office sales for 'Female Fortress Leader' has already exceeded 200 million. They've already recouped their capital. After this, all sales will be their profits."

"I knew it, today is an unjustifiable day for the bandit couple! I'll be even more upset if the box office sales don't rise!"

"True gold will always shine. Press on, Sister Y/N, you will become the biggest winner this year!"

"We're recruiting people to join the Sister Y/N supporters club. This is an opportunity not to be missed. Do you want to be a female fortress bandit? The domineering female bandit is waiting for you!"

Lee Dong-wook was in high spirits and would be smiling everywhere he went.

On the contrary, Hyun Bin was hopping mad as he watched his enemy's film doing better than his.

"Go find out if there are any shameful secrets about the members of their cast. Even if there aren't any, you have to frame them. You can't give Lee Dong-wook the chance to climb all over me."

"Director Lin, none of us dares to find out or expose any shameful secrets about Jimin. As for Lee Dong-wook, all his controversial past has been exposed."

The assistant director was shivering while staying at the side. Jimin was known for being hot-tempered. Although he was often smiling all day, anyone who dared to provoke him would die a horrible death.

Even the boss of Jimin's artist management company seemed to be too afraid to offend him.

"Go and find out some stuff about Y/N then. That b*tch had the guts to beat someone up in public under the pretext of the persona of her role. Try to find out if she has bullied anyone in school."

Once Y/N was branded as a school bully, her path to stardom would be ruined.

"Lee Dong-wook is now in the limelight. Neither you nor I dare to provoke Jimin. Now, Y/N is the only one who can destroy 'Female Fortress Leader'. She's a stinky lass who has no background. We'll let her know the consequences of offending me," Hyun Bin said with a squint.

"Okay, I'll get to it now."

Recently, Y/N had been offered to star in various variety shows and several films with good scripts.

Gyeong-ae's role was too heart-wrenching and relatable. Y/N's fans have also given themselves a name—Bandit Lair.

"Hey, someone is investigating you."

Y/N was snuggled up on the sofa and playing some games when Kai casually tossed the tablet to her. "It should be Hyun Bin."

"He's checking up on me? What is there about me to investigate?"

"You've been a background actress for three years. You..."

Before he could finish, Y/N glared daggers at him and Kai hurriedly changed his mind. "You've been in the entertainment industry for quite some time, so you should know about these sordid acts. Some people might get jealous of the success of others and then think of ways to rake up their controversial past."

Y/N nodded. She knew that Lee Dong-wook had suffered exactly the same thing.

'However, is Hyun Bin sure that he wants to frame me?'

'He's probably courting death.'

"What did he investigate?"

"Just your family background and so on. Don't worry, I have arranged for people to mess things up for him. I reckon he won't be able to find out much."

The fact that Y/N's father was a gambler and even killed himself and his wife because of gambling was indeed considered dirty linen if it was exposed.

Kai secretly thought, 'Second Brother never liked her in the first place. I can't let her continue digging her own grave, I have to intervene when necessary.'

"How did you handle it?"

"I just revealed that you learned Taekwondo and Karate during elementary school."

Y/N was puzzled and she thought, 'Is this to make it easier for me to beat up people in the future?'

Hyun Bin was originally waiting with great anticipation for the assistant director to feed him with all kinds of controversial information revolving around Y/N.

In the end...

"Y/N is a Taekwondo expert."

"Y/N is a Karate expert."

"Y/N has received a commendation from the police for being an outstanding citizen."

"Y/N's results for the college entrance examinations were barely passable, but she did rather well in Arts."

Hyun Bin's hand was trembling while holding onto the document of information. Finally, he could not help but tear that small stack of paper to shreds.

"I told you to find some controversial information about Y/N's past. What did you end up finding?"

Other than the fact that she had attended a mediocre university, there was no other information that they could exploit.

Actually, that was not considered terrible because most of the celebrities of the entertainment industry did not have high academic qualifications.

She had at least attended a decent second-rate university, which was much better than other random ones.

The assistant director said in a trembling voice, "Director Lin, you haven't finished reading. There's more at the back. Y/N hit the heir of Heng-yuan Real Estate, but he became her underling in the end. She had also hit Kai before."

Hyun Bin frowned and asked, "What are you trying to say?"

"Lee Dong-wook must have had his reasons for letting her play a female bandit. She even had the guts to hit Kai and Jun-ho. Director Lin, Y/N must be incredibly competent in martial arts!"

Now, TG Entertainment seemed to be trying to give Y/N such a persona.

They were branding her as a ruthless and straightforward person who would hit others for every little reason.

'Outrageous, am I supposed to tolerate this?'

"By the way, Director Lin." The assistant director said as he pushed the glasses upwards the bridge of his nose and continued in a higher pitch, "I heard that the female lead was originally set to be Ji-eun. We can ask Ji-eun to post something on Instagram, we can just say..."

"Go handle it."

Y/N had just left the bank. As the female lead, she was paid quite a generous amount for starring in the film.

Y/N was in an incredibly good mood throughout the journey.

The person driving was Kai's personal chauffeur who had heard a little about Y/N's violent tendencies.

He sighed secretly when looking at Y/N spacing out in the backseat with the bank card in her hand.

'Second Young Madam Kim is really pitiful. She has already married into the Kim Family, but she still has to run around to make a living.'

All of a sudden, his cell phone started ringing.

Glancing at the rearview mirror, Y/N said, "Your phone is ringing."

The chauffeur hurriedly picked up his cell phone and said, "Uh, Second Young Madam Kim, it seems, it seems to be your phone."

'Mine?'

Y/N took out her cell phone in puzzlement, only to realize that it was indeed so.

It was Jennie who called.

After thinking about it, she answered the call and heard Jennie's voice.

"Second Sister-in-law, save me! I was wrong, Second Sister-in-law, save me!"

Jennie was sobbing and speaking softly.

Y/N asked with pursed lips, "What's the matter?"

"Second Sister-in-law, I should have listened to you. I-I saw Woo-jin with, with another woman, so I exposed him on the spot..."

Jennie was speaking tersely while choking and sobbing. "He said that that woman seduced him, but i don't believe him. Second Sister-in-law, I really don't believe him. Then, he brought me to his house forcefully. Second Sister-in-law, save me, he wants to defile!"

'Seems like she hasn't been defiled yet!'

'She's already been brought home, but Jennie managed to hang on till now. Impressive.'

"Where are you?"

"Woo-jin's home. Second Sister-in-law, I beg of you, please come and save me. I ran to the bathroom while he wasn't paying attention, now he keeps kicking the door, I can't resist any longer, Second Sister-in-law!"

Y/N could vaguely hear Woo-jin's voice.

"Jennie, be good. Open the door, I love you so much, why would I bully you?"

"Jennie, weren't you ready to give yourself to me previously? Get pregnant with my child and your family will no longer object to our relationship. Jennie, come out..."

'This disgusting scumbag is so lewd and even more of a whore than Jimin. He's more shameless than Kai and more of a dog than Taehyung!'

"Jennie, show him what you're made of. If he dares to bully you, I'll shove his head into the toilet bowl and make him eat poop!"

After saying that, Y/N quickly hung up in exasperation.

Seeing that the phone had been hung up, Jennie cried even harder.

It was all her fault for ignoring Y/N's advice, arguing with her and even going overboard with her words.

'Second Sister-in-law definitely doesn't want to care about me anymore. She won't come and save me...'

While sobbing, she called the police. But as soon as the call went through, her cell phone shut down on its own.

Jennie smashed the cell phone against the wall in infuriation.

Woo-jin was still continuing to speak outside the door.

"Jennie, hurry up and open the door for me. Let me tell you, we'll at most perish together. If you make things hard for me, I'll torture you too."

Immediately afterwards, the deafening sound of the door being kicked open could be heard.

She was the one who paid for Woo-jin's rent.

There were only two units on one floor, but no one lived in the unit opposite theirs.

After wiping her tears, she turned to look at the window of the bathroom.

'We're on the 18th floor, I'll definitely die if I jump off. My flesh is going to be badly mangled too.'

She sobbed...

'What should I do? What exactly should I do?'

Finally, Woo-jin stopped shouting while Jennie carefully put her ear to the door, only to realize that it was extremely quiet outside.

Suddenly, Jennie heard the soft sound of the door being closed.

'Could it be that Woo-jin has gone out?'

Jennie had been leaning against the door and squatting on the ground for a long time, so much that her legs had gone numb. She finally stood up slowly while supporting herself against the wall.

There were still no sounds outside.

'Has he really left?'

After some hesitation, she picked up the broom from behind the door and then pulled the door to leave a small crack.

There really seemed to be no one outside.

Jennie heaved a sigh of relief. As soon as she left the bathroom, a hand was pressed against her mouth.

Jennie got a great shock and began retaliating with all her might.

"Jennie, you forced me to do this." Woo-jin was grimacing and he was pressing a knife on Jennie's neck. "As long as you date me and give me all your money and shares in Kim Group, I'll let you off. How does that sound?"

He began to coax, "Jennie, everyone thinks we're a match made in heaven. Since you like me so much , you definitely can't bear to leave me, right?"

Woo-jin kept mumbling to himself behind her.

Jennie's face was flushed and her eyes were filled with tears.

'This lunatic Woo-jin!'

"Jennie, just be with me. Be good and give me the shares that you own. You just have to write a letter to declare the share transfer..."

Woo-jin held Jennie down and pushed her to the table, "Write it, just write it and I'll let you off."

When Woo-jin moved his hand away from her mouth, Jennie said in a shaky voice, "Woo-jin, you betrayed me first. I am the daughter of the Kim Family. If anything happens to me, you can only wait to die!"

"Yes, I dated you only because you belong to the Kim Family. Jennie, didn't you get into a fight with Jun-yeon because of me? Look, that's how much you fancy me."

He gently grazed the blade of the knife across Jennie's fair and tender face, sending a cold chill down her spine and making her shiver nonstop.

"Woo-jin, I didn't expect you to be such a person."

"What's wrong with me? What kind of a person am I?"

Woo-jin's voice was pleasant to the ears but Jennie was absolutely disgusted by it now.

"Did you really think I'm a talented senior and a gentle boyfriend whose parents run a small business and who worked hard to earn a place in a prestigious university for himself?" Woo-jin burst into laughter and said, "My silly Jennie, why are you so gullible?"

Stunned, Jennie asked, "What do you mean?"

"I didn't receive any offer to a prestigious school at all. Jennie, you were so silly as to even buy me a house overseas and introduce your friends to me. Now, those bosom friends of yours are being fooled and coaxed by me..."

With a maniacal gaze, Woo-jin said, "You people are young ladies of rich families who don't know how tough life really is. Do you think you're a big deal just because your families are well to do? Why must I be a notch lower than others? Why must I be looked down upon by you people?"

Pressing the fruit knife against Jennie's neck again, Woo-jin subconsciously applied more force as he was incredibly agitated. Jennie could feel the sharp pain of her skin being slit.

She swallowed some saliva gently, petrified and thinking to herself that Y/N would definitely be able to defeat Woo-jin if she were there.

Holding her tears back as much as she could, Jennie coaxed in a gentle voice, "I won't break up with you or blame you for cheating on me anymore, alright? Woo-jin, put the knife down. I-I can give you money, any amount you want."

Woo-jin ordered sternly, "Hurry up and write the shares transfer letter!"

He originally wanted to hold Jennie captive for some time until he went abroad, but he never expected that Jennie would run into him and another girl.

He thought that Jennie had herself to blame for wandering about and running into them.

"Hurry up and write it!"

"Woo-jin, you're very talented in illustrating. As long as you work hard, you will definitely become a famous artist. Why are you doing this? Woo-jin, you're ruining your future!"

"Ruining my future? Hmph, once I get your shares of the Kim Group, I'll have a bright and promising future. Hurry up," Woo-jin said, giving Jennie a hard push.

Jennie wrote a letter of shares transfer with shaky hands, filled with regret.

'It's all my fault for being willful and blinded by love.'

'I brought this upon myself. Serves me right for meeting a scumbag like Woo-jin.'

'But what do I do? I'm so scared. I'm so afraid of dying and getting violated by Woo-jin.'

The more she thought about it, the more she felt like crying. Tears began to roll down her cheek like broken beads on a string.

After Jennie finished writing the letter of funds transfer, Woo-jin grabbed her hand by force and forced her to press her thumbprint onto the letter.

After completing everything, Woo-jin breathed a sigh of relief and carefully put the letter away in the drawer.

"Can you let me go now?" Jennie asked, gritting her teeth.

"Let you go? Jennie, we haven't gotten intimate yet." Grazing his large palm against Jennie's face, Woo-jin said in a hoarse voice, "Should we now celebrate me becoming the new shareholder of Kim Group?"

"Woo-jin!"

"Be good and remove your clothes."

Glowering at him, Jennie said, "Dont touch me, move your filthy hand away."

"Filthy?" Woo-jin chuckled. "If you think I'm filthy, why did you shamelessly confess your love to me and try to woo me?"

"That's because you did an excellent job at pretending."

"Everyone in this world lives with a mask on. Oh by the way, your second sister-in-law is an actress, right? She's quite pretty, why don't the two of you..."

Jennie's eyes were full of fury. If not for the fact that the knife was being pressed against her neck, she would have definitely punched him hard. "You're not qualified to touch my second sister-in-law, dream on!"

"What is your second sister-in-law like with your second brother? Tsk, that woman is pretty hot. She has purportedly invested in a movie, right? She must be very rich."

This time, Jennie was completely infuriated and she turned to spit some saliva at him without hesitation. "Don't talk about my brother and sister-in-law with that filthy mouth of yours. My second sister-in-law will crush you into pieces before you can even touch her!"

Woo-jin wiped his face and glared at Jennie ferociously before reaching his hand out all of a sudden to slap her.

Jennie's head was buzzing because of the slap. Holding her tears back, she glared at Woo-jin furiously in the eye. "If you have what it takes, kill me! If you dare to harbor evil designs on Second Sister-in-law, I won't let you off! Woo-jin, you disgusting man, you'll definitely be banished to the eighteenth level of Hell, you..."

"Shut up!"

Woo-jin slapped Jennie again, and by now, both sides of her face had become red and swollen.

"Why? You're so bold, but you don't allow me to talk about it, huh? I must have been blind to be bewitched by you. Seems like Second Sister-in-law is really an expert at identifying scums. She could tell that you were a scum at first glance. I chose not to believe her..."

She started sobbing...

'Second Sister-in-law, if I get to see you again, I must kneel down and apologize to you!'

"It seems that that Second Sister-in-law of yours is somewhat capable of taking you in hand, you arrogant, unreasonable, and capricious heiress who shows no respect to anyone."

"My second sister-in-law is a woman you can only look up to!"

Woo-jin stared at her red and swollen face before shifting his gaze downwards slowly.

After three days, the temperatures had already begun to drop. Jennie was wearing a light blue knitted shirt with a camisole beneath it, revealing her fair chest.

She had a slender neck and the thin pendant necklace on her neck made her collarbones look especially attractive.

Woo-jin suddenly buried his head in Jennie's chest, causing her to retreat in fright. "Woo-jin, what are you doing?!"

"What do you think? I'm your boyfriend and you're my girlfriend, what do you think we should do when we're together in the same room?"

"Don't try any nonsense with me. You're disgusting, get lost!" Jennie's eyes were full of wariness and she was gripping the hem of her shirt tightly.

"Disgusting? Jennie, do you think you're really so high and mighty? You're just putting on airs because you have a rich family. All the girls in your circle have long been toyed with, why would you be bothered by this?"

Jennie never thought that the cheerful boy who was kind and warm would turn out to be a scum who made lewd comments that made her feel humiliated.

She felt as if she had been stripped naked and left on the street.

"Don't talk nonsense, I'm not like that!"

"Is that so? Who doesn't know that Miss Kim does poorly in school and has a long list of bad habits. Jennie, we are the same kind of people. Come on, shall we play something exciting?"

Woo-jin dropped the knife and abruptly pounced onto Jennie, pinning her onto the ground. When his 1.8 meter stature was pressed against Jennie, she was completely defenseless.

"Get out of here, don't touch me!"

Jennie punched and kicked him, only to get slapped by Woo-jin several times in a row.

Her face was hot and stinging with pain. Her vision was blurred by her tears and so she could only vaguely see Woo-jin's hideous smile.

The sounds of fabric tearing could be heard.

It was particularly abrupt in the large living room. Jennie bit her tongue, ready to chomp down hard to kill herself as long as Woo-jin dared to break through her bottom line of defense!

At that moment, the tightly shut door was suddenly kicked open.

"I didn't even bully her, who are you to do so? You're courting death!"

Y/N saw Woo-jin pinning Jennie down at a glance, and she took a big step forward to pick Woo-jin up by his collar before flinging him to the side.

Bang...

Woo-jin was slammed against the wall.

When his spine hit the wall, Woo-jin inhaled sharply due to the excruciating pain.

He glared daggers at Y/N with bloodshot eyes.

"What are you staring at? Close your damned eyes!"

Y/N walked up and kicked him. "Damned scum, you're a piece of garbage who sponges off women. You parents must have given birth to you because you committed some heinous sin!"

Y/N hollered sternly, "Jennie, go get me a hanger!"

Bearing with the pain in her face, Jennie got up and dashed into the bedroom where she picked out the largest hanger and stared at Y/N with tears in her eyes. "Second Sister-in-law, here's the hanger you asked for. Second Sister-in-law, I thought you wouldn't care about me..."

Y/N warned with a frown, "Shut up, stop crying. I'll teach you a lesson when you go back."

After saying that, she looked at Woo-jin again and held onto the hanger with one hand. She then swung it at his face and said, "Screw you, you trash. I'm going to break your face today. How dare you bully Miss Kim? Do you really think no one else in the Kim Family is going to defend her?"

Woo-jin rolled around on the ground in pain, secretly hating Jennie for not telling him that her Second Sister-in-law was so formidable.

Overwhelmed with anger, Y/N kicked him and exclaimed, "Jennie, what are you waiting for? Beat him up too!"

Dumbfounded, Jennie stood still and finally reacted after hearing her words. She nodded and dashed into the bathroom to carry a large basin of water. "Second Sister-in-law, please move aside, leave the rest to me!"

Whoosh...

Still not relieved after splashing the water, Jennie splashed another basin of water at him. "Scumbag, so much for treating you with all my heart. Bastard, you're worse than a beast!"

"You people are just bullying me because there are two of you. Hmph, Jennie's shares have already been transferred to me..."

"Do you really think Taehyung is useless? Even if the entire Kim Group lands in your hands, Taehyung can get it back. Look at what you're like. Have I agreed to let you take the shares of Kim Group?"

Y/N cursed and kicked him again.

Although she disliked Taehyung, she couldn't deny that he was competent.

Woo-jin did not expect Y/N to be so powerful. Although she seemed delicate and weak, he was powerless against him.

"Jennie has signed the letter and stamped her thumb print, so it's legally valid!" Woo-jin gritted his teeth and said.

"Jennie, where did you put the letter of transfer?"

Pointing at the drawer, Jennie said, "He's already locked it up. Second Sister-in-law, I didn't do it on purpose. He pressed a knife on my neck, I'm so scared... Second Sister-in-law..."

Y/N ignored her and stepped forward to kick the desk onto the ground. She then picked up the stone sculpture at the side to smash the bottom compartment of the drawer.

She took out the letter of transfer and glanced at it twice, before tearing it into pieces. "You're treating a broken piece of paper as a treasure? Jennie, get Zhang Guoquan to come over and deal with this while you go back with me."

"Second Sister-in-law, what are you going to do to him?"

Y/N glanced at Woo-jin with disgust and barked, "Tear him apart and do whatever that will hurt him!"

Woo-jin was completely astonished. "You... you can't do this. That's illegal!"

"Shut up, do you believe that I'll castrate you now?"

Upon hearing her threat to castrate him, Woo-jin subconsciously pressed his legs together. "You're not a woman!"

"Put him behind bars for life." As she spoke, Y/N stood still and rubbed her wrists. "You kidnapped the daughter of the Kim Family, that's a serious crime. It won't be a problem to have you jailed for life."

After saying that, she couldn't help but kick Woo-jin again. "I can understand why you kidnapped Jennie, but I can't tolerate the fact that you have the damned audacity to covet the Kim Family's assets!"

Jennie was at a loss for words.

'I know you're upset with me, but Second Sister-in-law, those words are too hurtful!'

It had been a long time since she hit someone to her heart's content. Y/N gave her back a little stretch and said, "That felt great. Is Zhang Guoquan here yet?"

Shuddering nonstop, Jennie answered, "Second Sister-in-law, Uncle Zhang said that he's on his way here."

Zhang Guoquan was a snitch for Taehyung. If not for the fact that he was an elderly man who couldn't take a beating, Y/N would have taught him a hard lesson.

Y/N thought about it, turned around and then sat down on the sofa. "Go and get me a cup of water."

Upon receiving the order, Jennie dashed towards the kitchen.

"Second Sister-in-law, would you like to have some fresh fruit juice? The juice I make is delicious."

Too lazy to even glance at him, Y/N nodded while playing some games. "Sure."

When the fruit juice was served, Zhang Guoquan happened to arrive.

He was wearing a black suit with his white hair combed back. Standing at the door, he looked extraordinarily energetic.

"Second Young Madam, Miss Kim, let me do the cleaning up, you guys go back first."

As he spoke, he got ready to grab Woo-jin, but Y/N stopped him.

"Hold it." She finished the juice in one gulp and got up. "I'm not done with hitting him yet, what is the hurry?"

Y/N glanced at Zhang Guoquan before picking up a hanger and beating Woo-jin up ferociously.

"You must have a death wish for wanting to bully me. There are always such attention-seeking scums everywhere. I don't care if you're a man or a woman, nor do I care about your age. As long as you provoke me, I'll beat you up."

Jennie subconsciously looked at Zhang Guoquan, only to see that he was indeed hiding behind two bodyguards and shivering.

'Second Sister-in-law is obviously using Woo-jin as an example to beat Uncle Zhang up!'

'Turns out Second Sister-in-law is so vengeful.' Jennie thought of how she had talked back to Y/N and couldn't help but feel a chill down her spine.

'Will I be taught a harsher lesson?'

Woo-jin had had the living daylights beaten out of him and was lying on the ground, begging for mercy.

Y/N looked at the time and finally decided to leave.

On the way, Jennie did not even dare to make a single sound, as she sat still in the back seat like a stone statue.

When they returned home, they saw Kai who had been sitting on the sofa and waiting for a long time.

Seeing the swollen-faced Jennie following behind Y/N, he couldn't help but mock, "You and your boyfriend really have a unique way of expressing your affection for each other."

Jennie glowered at Kai and thought, 'You're rubbing salt into my wound, huh?'

"Shut up, she is your sister. Not only did you not avenge her, you even added insult to her injury."

Y/N rebuked sternly while Kai immediately made an "OK" gesture.

Jennie thought to herself complacently, 'See, girls do get treated differently. Second Sister-in-law is still protective of me after all.'

However, in less than a split second, Y/N said again, "Jennie, kneel down."

Jennie shivered and immediately knelt down on the carpet.

"Kneel for an hour before getting your ass back to your room."

"Yes, Second Sister-in-law."

Jennie responded softly.

Grimacing at her, Kai thought, 'Kid, you were being complacent with me, huh? Look how infuriating your behavior was!'

'Do you think you can insult Y/N easily?'

"Third Brother, you dog."

Jennie snorted coldly and turned away to ignore him.

Kai's handsome face turned grim and he threatened, "Jennie, don't think that I don't dare to hit you just because you're my sister!"

"Coward, you came to ask me for help after suffering a beating. You're much more cowardly than me!"

His childhood was the greatest humiliation of his life. Seeing that Jennie had raked up the past again, Kai rolled up his sleeves and pretended to hit her.

As soon as he spoke, he heard Y/N's voice coming from the second floor, "Kai, you're really something. Kneel down together with Jennie."

Kai flew into a rage and yelled, "Why? I didn't hit you!"

"I've been finding you an eyesore for a long time." Y/N pointed to the samurai sword hanging on the wall on the first floor, which was a decorative object, and continued, "Maybe, you should let me hit you to let off some steam."

Kai shook his head vigorously and knelt down next to Jennie in a particularly obedient manner.

Jennie gloated, "Serves you right."

"Wretched girl, you're the one who got me into this!"

"You provoked Second Sister-in-law, don't put the blame on me. I won't admit it at all!"

The two of them were having a heated argument.

Y/N said again, "Kai, you failed to fulfill your duty as Jennie's brother because you didn't take her in hand. You have to kneel for half an hour on her behalf."

Jennie's eyes lit up, but her spirits were soon dampened again.

"Jennie, after you're done kneeling for half an hour, go to the study and copy ten literary extracts, together with the translation."

Jennie felt like passing out just after hearing it. "Second Sister-in-law, can I get Third Brother to help me too?"

"Then you can kneel for an hour before copying."

Jennie immediately changed her mind. "Third Brother is an irresponsible person, so he should help me because he deserves it!"

Kai glared at Jennie and thought, 'Say it again if you dare.'

After dealing with Woo-jin, Zhang Guoquan sneakily hid in the living room to chat with Taehyung via a video call.

Taehyung seemed to have an endless amount of work to do. At this moment, he was seated behind the desk with a pair of gold-rimmed glasses on his face. He looked like a decent-looking scum.

"Second Young Master, Miss Kim's scumbag of a boyfriend has been dealt with, Second Young Madam Kim has beaten him up into a pulp."

After saying that, he also specifically sent a photo.

Taehyung took a glance and said, "Yeah, it's pretty bad."

"Second Young Master, are we really going to let Second Young Madam be in charge of Old Master's birthday banquet? Second Young Madam..."

Taehyung raised his eyebrows and asked, "Huh?"

"I'm worried that it might become a fight in the ring."

"..."

That was not the first time he had heard of Y/N's violent behavior.

"When is Big Brother coming home?"

"No, I don't know. Third Young Master is now being punished and made to kneel by Second Young Madam."

He thought that Taehyung would be infuriated but to his surprise...

"It's good to let them kneel for a while, those two are really in need of a beating."

Zhang Guoquan hesitated for a while and said, "Second Young Master, Second Young Madam probably already holds a grudge against me."

"Huh?"

"I always tell on her."

'Shouldn't you deserve to be hated then?'

Taehyung thought to himself secretly.

"We'll let my sister-in-law handle it. Y/N... can invite anyone she wants."

"Second Young Master, Second Young Madam Kim's film has become a hit lately. It seems to be earning money too."

Taehyung was a little surprised.

"Send me the film."

"Okay, I'll get the relevant people to find the resources."

"Keep an eye on Y/N." Taehyung paused and continued, "Report back to me at any time once she acts up."

Y/N did not know that she had been targeted by her in-name husband.

The box office sales of 'Female Fortress Leader' had already exceeded four hundred million Won. The film that was originally thought to be destined to flop and incur losses actually became a sleeper hit.

That was not at all. As the popularity of 'Female Fortress Leader' soared higher, many foreign cinemas began to screen the film.

Lee Dong-wook confidently began to explain everything that happened back then.

Society is pragmatic and people tend to listen to those who are popular.

Many had already begun to believe Lee Dong-wook.

Y/N and Jimin were on the hot search list almost everyday.

Just when everyone was discussing the plot with great interest, two hot search topics made it to the list.

"Gyeong-ae was originally supposed to be played by Ji-eun."

"Y/N snatched the role from her."

The source of the hot search was a Instagram post that Ji-eun posted.

"Ji-eun: It's such a pity that I wasn't around when Director Lee personally approached me to star in his film. I love the role of Gyeong-ae, but I'm not fated with it. Actually, I've always dreamed of being a bandit leader since I was a child. I missed it this time."

As the new titleholder of 'Best Actress', Ji-eun's fan base was not something that the former Actress Lina could compare to.

Soon, a bunch of sour fans began to send their replies.

"Someone rose to fame using a role that she snatched. Unfortunately, Ji-eun had to get slammed even after working hard. She's just an actress, she can't decide the script."

"It's just bullshit involving a certain background actress. She's so disgusting that she actually tried to snatch for the role. I'm guessing she got the role because she seduced and cozied up to Third Young Master, right?"

"Wow, if Ji-eun played Gyeong-ae, she would have done an excellent job! Her acting chops are far better!"

"I do like the Gyeong-ae played by Y/N, but I'd prefer if Ji-eun played it. I ship Ji-eun with Jimin and I will support it forever."

Y/N had been focusing her attention on the box office sales lately and hence hadn't paid attention to Instagram for a long time.

At this moment, she was holding onto a tablet and having a video call with Lee Dong-wook who was grinning widely. "Y/N, thank you and Second Young Madam Kim so much. Speaking of which, is Second Young Madam Kim still too busy to meet us?"

Y/N assented perfunctorily.

"Ah, Second Young Madam Kim is just like my savior, she really is. Without Second Young Madam Kim's support, I'm afraid I'll still be living in darkness. In fact, I won't even have the chance to stand up for myself."

Y/N's eyebrows twitched.

"By the way, you were the one who roped the heir of Heng-yuan Real Estate to invest in our film, right? Not only have you helped me resolve my troubles, you also played the role of Gyeong-ae well."

"You're flattering me."

Lee Dong-wook chattered endlessly while Jennie suddenly rushed down from upstairs. "Second Sister-in-law, Second Sister-in-law, someone..."

Before Jennie could finish, she saw the threatening gaze in Y/N's eyes and hurriedly shut up.

Lee Dong-wook got excited and asked, "Second Sister-in-law? Is it Second Young Madam Kim? Y/N, are you at the Kim Family's home?"

Y/N denied expressionlessly, "A distant relative visited me."

"Is she calling you Second Sister-in-law? Y/N, are you secretly married?"

Y/N would never admit that she was a married woman.

"I'm going to be a beautiful bachelorette for 500 years, bye."

Sensing that she seemed to have made a mistake, Jennie carefully shifted her gaze onto Y/N. "Second Sister-in-law, I just saw that someone sent you hate and got agitated. I really didn't do it on purpose."

Y/N thought, 'Which ignorant fool is hating on me?'

"Who?"

"Huh?"

"Which idiot is tired of living? How dare they hate on me."

Jennie handed her cell phone to Y/N and said, "Ji-eun, she said that she should have been the female lead of Female Fortress Leader, but you snatched the role from her."

"Okay."

After looking at what Ji-eun posted on Instagram, she said, "People of your era are very interesting."

Jennie looked at Y/N and thought, 'What do you mean by 'your era'? You're making it sound like you don't belong to this era, Second Sister-in-law.'

"Second Sister-in-law, aren't you going to retaliate? Ji-eun is too shameless, she actually said that you stole her role. Second Sister-in-law, we can't give her an advantage."

Looking at Jennie with raised brows, Y/N asked, "Are you done with copying it?"

Jennie's smile stiffened and she said, "Ahem, I was too tired yesterday so I dozed off while copying it."

"Keep copying. You'll get to eat once you're done."

Jennie made her way upstairs pitifully.

Y/N picked up her cellphone again. 'This Ji-eun...'

'Is that the pretentious girl from last time?'

Soon, Lee Dong-wook and Jimin hurriedly posted something on Instagram to support Y/N.

"Lee Dong-wook: I was forced to invite Miss Ji-eun purely because Jimin insisted that he wanted to work with her. In the end, I was chased out by her manager. Please don't try to frame Y/N just because our film has become a success. You won't have a good time framing her."

"Jimin The Most Handsome Man In The Universe: Little Pepper is the only one who can play the role of my female bandit. I'll curse anyone who dares to covet the role!"

Not only that, even Kai and Jun-ho stepped forth to speak up for Y/N.

"One-in-a-million Third Young Master Kim: Not any Tom, Dick, or Harry can bully my artist. I just want to defend Y/N, so what?"

"Jun-ho Heng-yuan Real Estate: Damn it, which shameless person is here to frame my Sister Y/N? Offending her is the same as offending me!"

The netizens broke into an uproar again.

"What's going on now? What's the situation? I can understand if there's an ambiguous relationship between Y/N and Kai, but why is Jun-ho involved? The two of them are really hot-tempered and they're better players than Third Young Master Kim."

"Maybe a certain background actress has taken advantage of her pretty face to gain the favor of many rich heirs. Now, all female celebrities in the entertainment industry want to marry into a rich family."

"Anyway, I've always been neutral. The actress for a role can't have been confirmed right from the start. Director Lee has already said that he was chased out so he must have born a grudge against him."

"Ji-eun's fans are going too far. Anyway, I think Y/N played the role of the bandit Gyeong-ae really well. She's a bona fide female bandit."

"I will choose whoever Jimin chooses, I will be a die-hard fan of Jimin forever."

All of a sudden, the original one-sided comments were divided into two opposing sides. During this period of time, Y/N had been gaining fans who were just as feisty as her.

Although she had far fewer fans than Ji-eun, the argument between their respective fans was stiff and amazing.

"Second Sister-in-law, your fans are so incredible."

Y/N said proudly, "Duh, they're my fans."

After drinking some water, Y/N finally posted something on Instagram.

"Bandit Leader: Since you have a dream to be a gangster, we'll settle it using the rules of the trade. Sister, let's schedule a fight. If you win, I'll let you have the role of Gyeong-ae. @Ji-eun."

In Y/N's opinion, there was nothing that a fight couldn't solve. If the fight can't be solved in one fight, they would have the second one.

Anyway, she was good at nothing except fighting.

Ji-eun froze and did not reply at all the entire night.

"That b*tch Y/N is going against me huh? After hooking up with Kai, she's gone to seduce Jun-ho. She's really something."

Ji-eun slammed her phone to the ground. She was so furious that her features were slightly distorted.

"To put it bluntly, it's all Hyun Bin's fault. If his script is better, we won't be bullied and end up in such a state."

"Hmph, it is said that Hyun Bin is Lee Dong-wook's junior. Lee Dong-wook was the one who brought Hyun Bin into the industry."

Everyone knows about the dirty business of the entertainment industry. They simply didn't want to expose it.

Personal benefits and interests were the focus of the social circle of the entertainment industry, and most people would try not to offend others as far as possible.

"It's just a film. Anyway, everyone knows what your status is like. How can Y/N surpass you? Just take it as a lesson learned. From now on, we won't work with Hyun Bin anymore."

Ji-eun was still feeling very reluctant and indignant. Back then, she had turned Lee Dong-wook down because of his poor reputation.

Her manager cursed, "Who knew that Y/N would have such incredible tricks? We'd better lay low for the time being. Sooner or later, we'll have a chance to teach her a lesson."

"That's all we can do."

There were still people who gave Y/N flak, but there were more praises than criticism.

'Female Fortress Leader' was getting more and more popular and in half a year's time, the box office sales had already broken the national record and become the fourth best-selling film in the nation.

On the other hand, the ratings of 'Islander' were getting lower and lower, and Lee Dong-wook's team consecutively revealed all of Hyun Bin's despicable misdeeds in the past, causing Hyun Bin's reputation to be tarnished.

Old Mr. Kim's birthday was round the corner and Y/N was staring at the invitation list when she received an unexpected call from Hyun Bin.

"Y/N, we had a misunderstanding, let's bury the hatchet. l'm preparing for a new film and I think you're a suitable candidate for the female lead. I'll be offering you 60 million Won to play the role. The Jeon Corporation is investing in it. Look..."

Staring at the string of unfamiliar numbers on her cellphone, Y/N thought, 'Hyun Bin called me to ask me to star in his film?'

'There must be something fishy about this, unless the sun is rising from the West.'

"What makes you think I'll take on the role? Is your film that good?"

Time seemed to have frozen and Y/N could sense that Hyun Bin's breathing had obviously become heavier.

"I am sincere in wanting to invite you to take on this role. Why don't you come and meet me and take a look at the script? If you like it, we'll proceed with the discussion. How does that sound?"

"I'll need 1,000 Won for travel expenses that are to be reimbursed."

Hyun Bin inhaled sharply.

'1,000 Won for travel expenses?'

'Why don't you take a domestic flight?'

"Why? Director Hyun Bin, can't bear to spend that tiny amount?" Y/N looked up and continued, "Forget it then."

Just as she was about to hang up, Hyun Bin hurriedly tried to stop her. "No, no, once you arrive, I'll transfer it to you on the spot. How about that?"

"My bank account number is my mobile number. Director Hyun Bin, you're affluent. Transfer the money to me first."

Y/N was really a money-grubber.

In less than five minutes, Y/N received the payment transfer from Hyun Bin. In high spirits, she hummed a tune and began to pack her bags and doll herself up.

When she went downstairs, she saw Kai, Jennie, and Zhang Guoquan discussing something important with their heads held close to each other.

Seeing that Y/N had deliberately dressed up, he couldn't help but ask, "We were discussing about Grandpa's birthday banquet. Where are you headed to?"

Holding the hem of her ankle-length skirt in one hand and carrying her purse in the other, Y/N said with a vibrant smile, "Someone paid me to beat him up."

Kai and the other two thought that they had heard her wrongly.

Which psychopath would pay someone to beat them up?

To make things worse, the person was Y/N!

With a worried look, Jennie asked, "Second Sister-in-law, did you receive a scam call? There are so many con artists nowadays, you have to be careful!"

Y/N said with raised brows, "Do I seem that gullible?"

Jennie shook her head vigorously.

"I'm in a good mood today. Oh, right, Kai, remember to tell the PR department that Hyun Bin tried to pull some underhanded tricks with me, but I bashed him instead."

Kai subconsciously glanced at the tablet on the coffee table.

He waved his hand and was ready to leave when a rather familiar male voice rang out at the right time.

"Where are you planning to go?"

'Eh?'

Y/N blinked and turned towards the sofa, only to find that there was a video call playing on Zhang Guoquan's tablet. In the video call, Taehyung was sitting behind the desk and emitting an unapproachable aura.

'It's that dog Taehyung!'

'He's so handsome!'

Y/N glanced at Taehyung sultrily through the tablet and said, "I plan to have a party in your heart and make you fall head-over-heels in love with me. What do you think?"

Taehyung pressed his lips together tightly and glanced at Y/N who suddenly appeared in the video.

Her skin was very fair and her features were exquisite. The combination made her look absolutely gorgeous.

She had the face of an oriental beauty, but she behaved like a rogue, was hot-tempered, and had uncouth mannerisms.

He tried hard to recall the first time he met Y/N, only to realize that he could barely find any fragments. Y/N never had a strong presence in the past, but now...

Hah...

Taehyung smirked and said, "I'm eager to see how you're going to party in my heart, Milady."

'Milady?'

'Who are you calling Milady?'

Y/N frowned slightly and rolled her eyes without any concern for her image.

The people in the room straightened their backs to watch their interaction.

They were equally brazen with their words.

Jennie thought to herself, 'If Second Sister-in-law really parties in Second Brother's heart, he'll definitely toss her into the river and feed her to the fish mercilessly!'

Kai was worried that Y/N might anger Taehyung and really end up in a divorce.

Zhang Guoquan's mood was much more complex.

'Since when is Second Young Master so indecent with his words? Seems like Second Young Madam Kim still has some influence over him. I have to be wary when telling on her in the future.'

"Okay, I'm going to go beat someone up."

Taehyung then watched Y/N walk away from the screen.

After hearing the door being closed, Jennie exclaimed eagerly, "Second Brother, that's what Second Sister-in-law is like. She enjoys teasing others. Don't mind her!"

"Who else has she teased before?" he questioned.

"Jimin, who is her co-star and a popular idol of the girls in our school. Many of the girls in school are fans of Jimin! There's also Jun-ho from Heng-yuan Real Estate. Oh, there's also Third Brother."

Kai glared at Jennie with a furious expression. "I'm not one of them, I didn't tease... No, Second Sister-in-law has never teased me before. She has only hit me."

'Jennie, you're going to get it from me!'

"Second Brother, Jennie had a scumbag for a boyfriend and she got into an argument with Second Sister-in-law because of him. She got kidnapped and Second Sister-in-law ended up having to settle the issue."

'Damn!'

'Third Brother, you've gone too far!'

The video conference was supposed to be meant for the discussion for their grandfather's birthday banquet, but it ended up becoming a complaint session where the Kim siblings ratted on each other.

Taehyung pressed his forehead and said, "Keep an eye on that woman."

Zhang Guoquan immediately nodded and said, "Second Young Master, don't worry, leave everything to me."

After hanging up, he looked at the other computer.

The film 'Female Fortress Leader' was playing on it.

'This monk is hideous.'

'Y/N invested my money in such an ugly gigolo.'

After thinking about it, Taehyung sent another voice message to Zhang Guoquan. "Terminate Jennie's credit card too."

He paused before continuing, "Confiscate the money that she earned from investing in the film."

Y/N was humming a little tune while on her way to beat up Hyun Bin.

The place where Hyun Bin asked to meet her at was a restaurant with good privacy.

Y/N first made a phone call to Tzuyu before entering the restaurant boldly.

There were very few customers present in the spacious restaurant where each seat was separated from the rest by a partition. Hyun Bin chose a seat by the window.

His eyes lit up when he saw Y/N who was all dolled up.

He had to admit that she was indeed much prettier than Ji-eun.

"Y/N, you're here, have a seat."

Y/N sat down and said, "Cut straight to the chase. Director Hyun Bin, do you want me to star in your next film?"

"Haha, yes, I've started preparing for my new film a long time ago. It's a sci-fi film that the Jeon Corporation has invested in. It's going to be a major production and our main target audience this time is foreigners. Y/N, I believe that you understand how well overseas films are doing."

Thinking that Y/N would be enticed and at least have a change of expression, she surprisingly shrugged her shoulders and said, "Anyone can brag and blow their trumpets. You've got such a poor reputation and you even bullied me and got people to hate on me. Why should I agree to your request?"

'Why is it so difficult to deal with Y/N?'

Feigning ignorance, Hyun Bin said, "Y/N, what do you mean by that? When did I bully you and get people to hate on you? Y/N, did someone spout nonsense about me to you? I'm not such a despicable person."

"Director Hyun Bin, you should know very well whether it's true or not."

Hyun Bin humphed coldly and said righteously, "I'll never use such underhanded means to deal with people. I've always relied on my own competence to compete with others."

Glancing at him meaningfully, Y/N asked, "Really?"

Looking her in the eye, Hyun Bin suddenly felt guilty.

"Director Hyun Bin, am I your type?"

"What?"

"I mean, Director Hyun Bin, am I your type?"

Hyun Bin looked at Y/N's face, thinking to himself that she was born to be an actress as her classic beauty and sophisticated aura was incredibly stunning.

"Of course, Y/N, you're very beautiful."

"Director Hyun Bin, what do you think of Director Lee?"

Hyun Bin's smile stiffened and he asked, "Why did you mention Lee Dong-wook out of the blue?"

Y/N picked up the cup of juice and swirled it in her hand. As soon as it reached her lips, she moved it away again. Hyun Bin's eyelids twitched.

"Director Hyun Bin, I heard that you like maligning Director Lee, huh?"

With a grim expression, Hyun Bin said, "Did Lee Dong-wook say something? Hmph, he's just a petty person who can't stand seeing others doing well. Y/N, you should stay away from people like him. I..."

Y/N suddenly smashed the juice cup on the ground and exclaimed, "Hyun Bin, you've gone too far. You're a renowned director and yet you resorted to such disgusting means to ask for sexual favors from an actress!"

Hyun Bin was dumbfounded and didn't realize what was going on at all.

"You..."

"Do you dare to say that you didn't lace the fruit juice?"

Kicking the partition over with one leg, Y/N majestically left her seat and stepped forth to grab Hyun Bin's collar before giving him two loud and hard slaps.

"Do you think it's that easy to take advantage of me? I'm telling you, why do you think I haven't been able to rise to fame after being in this industry for so many years? It's because I don't ever sleep with anyone for fame! Who do you think you are? Look at yourself before trying to ask me for a sexual favor."

He was prepared to set a trap for Y/N, but he did not intend to violate her!

He just wanted Jo Kwon to take Y/N away and push all the blame to Jo Kwon if anything happened.

The few guests and staff were attracted by the commotion there.

Seeing that it was Y/N who rose to fame because of 'Female Fortress Leader', everyone hurriedly pulled out their cellphones.

'Y/N really lives up to her name, she's so violent.'

The crowd of onlookers hurriedly posted the photos on their social media accounts and soon, the fact that Y/N slapped Hyun Bin in the cafe became the talk of the town on the internet.

"What is Y/N doing, is she really lawless?"

"Impressive, she hit Director Hyun Bin previously and she has done it again this time. However, Director Hyun Bin is too weak of a fighter, isn't he?"

"Y/N went overboard. She hits others over every small thing. Why hasn't she been put behind bars yet?"

"Hello, every time she beats someone up, it's justifiable. To put it nicely, it's self-defense. To put it bluntly, she's just brutal, violent, unreasonable, arrogant, and domineering."

A group of netizens began to slander and mock Y/N again.

Soon, Jimin made a comment again.

"Jimin The Most Handsome Man In The Universe: Well done! I've long wanted to do that! My Little Pepper really lives up to her name. I love you, mwacks!"

Jimin even added a GIF of him blowing a kiss.

That was not the point. The point was that Jimin seemed to be filming something as he was topless.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Jimin is out to sell his body again."

"Jimin, put on your clothes first. Sister-in-law is so impressive, she'd definitely be able to settle it!"

Jimin was seated languidly on the couch, scrolling through Instagram while chewing on some gum.

Soon, he saw that comment.

'Jimin's wife?'

'You've got a bright future, girl. Here's a like for you.'

Y/N had completely defeated Hyun Bin and was abusing him one-sidedly, so much that he had no means of retaliation.

"Y/N, this is a lawful society. Do you really think you can be lawless just because you've learned Taekwondo?"

Hyun Bin wailed with his head in his hands.

He had planted some spies nearby and he reckoned that they must have already called the police.

As expected, several police officers suddenly appeared in the cafe.

"Stop, you are Y/N, right? Someone reported you to the police for assaulting and abusing someone for no reason. Please come with us."

Seeing that things were going his way, Hyun Bin glowered at Y/N menacingly.

'If I don't put this b*tch behind bars, I won't be able to vent my anger!'

Facing the police officers in front of her calmly, Y/N said, "Is this a patriarchal society?"

"This is a harmonious society."

Y/N suddenly laughed. "Is legitimate self-defence not allowed in a harmonious society?"

The few police officers looked at each other.

They saw with their own eyes that Y/N had beaten Hyun Bin. How was that considered legitimate defence?

Y/N pointed to the juice that she had spilled and said, "Go find out the ingredients in this juice. I want to report Hyun Bin for lacing my drink and using underhanded means to ask me for sexual favours. If I hadn't been smart enough to discover it, I would have hanged myself in shame!"

"Nonsense. The waiter has just served the juice!"

Hyun Bin began to get anxious.

"You'll find out if I'm spouting nonsense or not after running a lab test?" Y/N glanced at Hyun Bin with disgust and continued, "If he dies when I'm defending myself, there'll at most be one less scumbag in this world, but it's different for me."

'How is it different?'

Pointing at her face, Y/N said, "I'm so beautiful and outstanding, and my career has just taken off. If I commit suicide in shame because of Hyun Bin, there'll be one less beauty and one less wonderful actress in this world!"

"..."

He had never seen such a narcissistic person.

"No matter what, both of you have to come with us."

"Let's go, the atmosphere of the police station is pretty good," Y/N said, glancing at one of the young police officers. She continued, "Especially with such a righteous, prideful, and handsome policeman like you. I really like it. I'll be very cooperative with your investigation work. "

The young policeman somehow felt embarrassed.

It was his first time seeing such a violent, arrogant...and brazen actress who would openly flirt with others.

"Ahem, Miss Y/N, rest assured. If this man really intended to do something illegal to you, we will certainly not let it go."

Y/N blinked her beautiful eyes and said, "The police of our country are just different. You're so handsome, suave, and valiant. It's my honor to be born in this country!"

"You're welcome, it's only our duty."

Tzuyu was seated at the table right beside her and staring wide-eyed at Y/N as she left smilingly with a few policemen.

'Y/N is impressive!'

'How come Y/N has become a whole different person after I haven't seen her for a while?'

Y/N walked to the door of the cafe before turning around and winking at Tzuyu.

Tzuyu immediately assented and sent the photos that she had secretly taken to TG Entertainment anonymously.

Kai and Jennie had already seen the news on the hot search list and were waiting at home anxiously.

Suddenly, a cellphone rang.

Jennie made a dash for her cell phone, only to realize that the ringtone wasn't from her cellphone.

However, Kai waved his cellphone flauntingly and said, "Did you see that? She's calling me."

'Its just a phone call. What's there to be conceited about?'

Kai purposely pressed the loudspeaker button.

Soon, Y/N said, "Come to the police station to pick me up."

'Huh?'

He subconsciously looked at Jennie and the two of them made eye contact.

'Pick her up at the police station?'

After swallowing some saliva, Kai asked, "Did you end up killing him?"

"Am I that violent?"

Y/N asked.

'Are you not?'

"Cut the crap, hurry up and get your ass over. Remember to bring some fruits and sweet pastries."

'Damn it, did Y/N get detained?'

Kai grabbed his keys and hurried to the police station.

As a famous and rich playboy, Kai was familiar with the police station and he could easily find the interrogation room. He initially thought that Y/N would definitely be in a sorry state while getting interrogated by the police, but in the end...

"Hey, you're 27 years old this year, right? I'll be turning 23 years old in a few months' time. We're compatible in terms of age."

Y/N sat on the chair and grinned, facing a young and suave policeman who was standing opposite her.

He was staring at Y/N shyly.

Kai was dumbfounded. 'What is going on?'

Y/N soon discovered Kai's presence. "Ah, someone is here to pick me up. Kai, where are the things I told you to bring?"

Kai handed Y/N a large bag of fruits and desserts.

Y/N smiled sweetly and patted his shoulder. She then turned around and said, "Come on, all of you have worked hard. This is a little token of appreciation from me to thank all of you for going out of your way to defend our country and protect our citizens from danger."

That was the first time that anyone delivered food to the police station. The policemen were all flattered and surprised.

"Miss Y/N, you're being too polite. That's just our duty."

"You're welcome," Y/N said as she handed a box of cupcakes to the handsome police officer. "This is for you, keep pressing on. Remember to watch my film and remember to miss me!"

She then stuck her index finger and thumb out to act like she was shooting him.

"Kai, let's go."

Kai stared at the young police officer and thought, 'Who are you to receive such treatment?'

'Why is Y/N treating him so well?'

'Damn it!'

'I must tell Second Brother when I get home!'

TG Entertainment's PR department was worthy of being known as the best PR team in the city. The controversial news about Y/N's unfavorable situation had been removed cleanly.

"Hyun Bin tried to ask Y/N for sexual favors in exchange for benefits."

"Hyun Bin failed to get sexual favors and got beaten up instead."

"Hyun Bin gets arrested and 'Islander' becomes a joke."

The focus of the public opinion in the hot search list immediately turned to Hyun Bin, and the artists who were previously speaking up on Hyun Bin's behalf, instantly chose to delete their Instagram posts and stayed silent after seeing the photos of him being arrested.

That was not all. TG Entertainment even exposed a set of photos of Hyun Bin laying his hands on Y/N.

In the photo, Y/N and Hyun Bin were sitting in the cafe, and Hyun Bin seemed to be trying to touch her face with his hand.

The second one was a GIF of Hyun Bin getting slapped by Y/N.

"Awesome. I hate such garbage who throw their weight around and try to bully others or resort to underhanded means."

"I really didn't expect Hyun Bin to be such a person. This is too terrifying. Actresses of the entertainment industry, protect yourselves well!"

I don't care, anyway, I'm going to become a fan of Y/N. Are you still going to accept more people in your lair? I want to learn from your idol."

"Y/N is great. She can protect herself."

Y/N managed to garner another batch of fans.

Old Mr. Kim's birthday was approaching and the invitations had been sent out one after another.

Apart from the rivals of the Kim Family, the major families of Seoul received an invitation.

The large Kim Family residence was silent.

Y/N was fast asleep upstairs. Since Jennie's exams were round the corner and she wanted to earn the forgiveness of Y/N, she had been putting in extra effort into studying. Bright early in the morning, she started reading in the garden.

As for whether or not she had registered it in her head, that was another issue.

The tightly shut iron gate was suddenly opened and a black commercial car was driven in slowly.

The eagle-eyed Jennie quickly tossed her book aside and leaped off the rattan chair when she saw the license plate of the car.

The car was moving steadily and Zhang Guoquan had gone over to pull the door open.

The morning sun was a little cooler, Jennie pulled the thin jacket that she was wearing and stared at the car.

Soon, a handsome man alighted.

He was wearing a white shirt with a light gray vest on the outside and pants of the same color, which made his legs look straight and slender.

His short black hair was combed back and he was wearing a pair of silver-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose. When he saw Zhang Guoquan, he smiled and nodded politely.

"Welcome home, Young Master."

"Uncle Zhang, we haven't met in a long time and you look even more energetic now."

"It's all thanks to the medicinal recipes you gave me, Young Master. My wife and I are looking more and more youthful."

Jennie had already scurried over to him. "Big brother, you're back!"

Jin was slightly stunned when he saw Jennie.

Jennie would usually put on makeup as soon as she left her room and her hair would be dyed a different color every once in a few days. It had been long since he saw her natural hair color.

On top of that, Jennie actually came out wearing only her pajamas.

"What are you doing?"

Jennie waved the textbook in her hand and said, "Big Brother, I'm memorizing some notes. I'm about to take an exam."

'Memorizing notes?'

'It's rare of Jennie to be memorizing notes.'

"Where is Kai?"

"Third Brother is on a business trip and won't be back until this evening."

Jin nodded his head and took the lead to walk into the mansion.

Although the Kim family mansion was gorgeous, it often lacked a homely vibe.

Jin was a clean freak and whenever he was home, there would never be irrelevant items in the living room.

The rest of the Kim family was used to it.

As soon as Jin entered, he saw a bunch of snacks strewn all across the table, and some antique shelves at the corner of the wall, which were all stocked up with tidbits.

"You bought these?"
