"There's nothing he can't do!" this was something Elder Kim had always been proud of.

"In that case, why don't you take care of Kim Group for a few months and let President Kim come act?" Lee Sun Kyun tried to suggest.

"You wish!" Elder Kim scoffed. Who was he kidding? It hadn't been easy for him to brush off his business to Taehyung. There was no way he'd stick his fingers back in. "Kim Group can only be managed by Taehyung, my brain can no longer handle it...All I can do these days is act."

Lee Sun Kyun smiled and did not say another word. The old man had definitely gotten a lot lazier. However, it couldn't be denied that he had built up the entire Kim Empire with his own hands. Those few years in Seoul were his glory years. But, after many years enjoying life with his grandchildren with no cares, the ambition he once had, had long faded. Yet, his brain was still one that not everyone could compete with.

"From the sounds of it, you've decided to acknowledge this granddaughter-in-law of yours?"

"Acknowledge? I haven't seen her true capabilities yet," the old man waved his fan furiously, "Let's wait and see how she performs from now on."

Lee Sun Kyun looked at Elder Kim helplessly. This old man had a stubborn mouth but soft heart. He was already protecting Y/N to this extent, yet he was still denying what he felt.

But that wasn't an issue to linger on, because he had to quickly go find a replacement.

...

"Who is this scruffy old man? Why does Y/N have to follow him around?"

"Are the rumors true, President Kim? If he ends up splitting with Y/N, I will no longer believe in the entertainment industry or love."

"Anything is possible in the filthy entertainment industry. Perhaps Y/N has gone down the wrong path."

"Y/N don't act carelessly. What predicament have you put President Kim in?"

"I refuse to believe that the old man is an investor. Why does Y/N need to wash his clothes and cook for him? What's​ the story behind all this?"

"I wonder how President Kim feels about all this. Does he know about it?"

The public were in an uproar; spreading the rumors like wildfire. Of course, the public had a strong curiosity for the truth. They really wanted to know if Y/N had actually given up on herself and abandoned her pride. Did she really give up on such a great husband to go cater for an old man?

Plenty of media companies made phone calls to Kim Entertainment...

But the PR department simply told them that the rumors were a deliberate attempt at defamation and everything was made up.

Of course, Taehyung saw the news as soon as it came out and his expression darkened. This was not because he believed in the rumors, but because he did not like that the old man had made his wife suffer in such a way.

He had always doted on Y/N, so he barely let her do any housework at home. Yet, this old man was making her wash his clothes and cook for him!

What right did he have? She was his woman! Had he agreed to this?

"President..." Chanyeol couldn't quite read what Taehyung was feeling. Was he angry? He shouldn't be. After all, Y/N was not at fault.

"Forget it. I'll tolerate it for now," Taehyung closed his laptop and tried to contain the fire in his heart.

"What should we do about this matter then?"

"What did Lee Sun Kyun say?" Taehyung asked. It was obvious someone had deliberately leaked the information and the culprit was quite obvious.

"Director Lee has asked Kim Entertainment for candidate recommendations. They are planning to hold secret auditions and replace Leo at the right time. As there aren't many martial arts actors, let alone famous ones, Director Lee has been put on the spot," Chanyeol explained. In reality, Chanyeol also wanted to add that Director Lee's ideal replacement was actually Taehyung himself.

Of course, he did not have the courage to tell him this.

"Does the old man have any suggestions?"

"He doesn't either," Chanyeol shook his head, "Elder Kim does not have any interest in the candidates for male lead."

As long as the candidate did not interfere with his acting and torturing of Y/N, Elder Kim did not care.

"Make a phone call to Namjoon."

"But, the madam has just completed a film with him. If they work together again, would the viewers be sick of seeing them together?" Chanyeol was a little reluctant. After all, they had already filmed 'W.H.' together.

"In that case, let's contact an artist from overseas and make it an international production! I'll write down a few names in a minute and you can hand them to Lee Sun Kyun. Once he has picked one from the list, I'll contact them and see if their schedule is available."

The main motive for Taehyung's decision was to help Y/N lay out a path to international stardom. Domestically, it wasn't too hard to find an actor capable of fighting, but they weren't very good at non-acting scenes. If they could invite someone from overseas to join the cast, it would be likely that they could help uncover Y/N's hidden talents. After all, international actors had more refined acting skills.

Leo had no idea that the crew was preparing to replace him.

From the moment he decided on his vengeful plan, he should have expected this result. After all, all those that he offended were​ not simple people.

...

That night, after Y/N prepared dinner for Elder Kim, she originally wanted to head on set to film some scenes, but the old man waved his fan and said, "Don't waste your energy. Leo will be gone in a couple days."

Y/N furrowed her brows and turned to look at the old man.

"Don't tell me you don't know who started the rumors that are going around," the old man lifted his bowl and chopsticks to his mouth to conceal his satisfied smile as he spoke to Y/N.

"Does Director​ Lee plan on replacing Leo?"

"Why should we keep such a disgraceful person around?" the old man scoffed. "If he had no influence, he should have been patient. Since, he has influence, he should have used this to protect the purity of the entertainment industry. When it comes to evil people like this, I will destroy every single one of them."

"This is the charm of the Kim Fam..."

"Huh?"

The old man froze for a second; he had almost exposed himself.

"Oh it's nothing. Over the next few days, you are free to go film some scenes, but don't stay up too late. You keep turning up every morning with a pale expression, who would want to look at a face like that?" the old man expressed his dissatisfaction.

Y/N nodded her head submissively as usual, "OK."

In reality, the old man was hinting to her that Leo was about to be replaced so she shouldn't be so serious. She should get some rest and reserve her energy for the real male lead.

For someone as smart as Y/N, she of course picked up on this layer of meaning.

So, she had a slight smirk on her face as she walked out.

Although the old man was indeed hard to deal with, he was doing it for her own good. He wanted to suppress her ego, in case the success of 'Stupid' had made her forget that she was still a newcomer. The timing of Elder Kim's appearance was just right.

After returning to the hotel, Y/N happened to walk past Yuri. Their eyes met awkwardly, but Y/N said calmly, "He hasn't let go."

"Sorry, since he made a move, I can only stand on his side. After all, he did this all for me," Yuri replied. "Let me give you a word of warning Y/N, I will gather fans to boycott you. After all, you have always been seen as a good wife to Taehyung, but this time..."

"...you've insulted your identity in the eyes of the fans..."

"Things aren't going to go the way that you planned," Y/N gave a gentle laugh as she spoke to Yuri without a trace of panic or anger. Seeing this, Yuri started to feel doubtful of herself.

"Tell me, why are you always so calm, no matter what happens?"

"That's because I know that evil will never prevail," Y/N laughed in ridicule. "At least, in my world, I have yet to come across anyone that's done something bad successfully."

Yuri could not see through Y/N, but she knew that Y/N had already seen through her.

When it came to intelligence, she would never beat Y/N; not even in her next life. But, she refused to believe that Y/N could overcome all obstacles. Everyone was bound to have bad luck at some point in their lives.

"I know Leo's actions aren't beneficial to any of us. But, I will still give my all to protect him." After speaking, Yuri left and Y/N returned to her room.

It seemed, Yuri had not found out that Leo was getting replaced yet.

Y/N wondered: what was the point of challenging her, when in the end, they would be left with nothing?

That night, Rose made a phone call to check on the situation, "What happened this time? What's up with the old man? You're such a magnet for gossip; as soon as something can't be explained, you're up there on the hottest searches."

"Someone did all this on purpose..." Y/N explained helplessly before she recapped everything that had happened on set. After hearing the whole story, Rose was in an uproar.

"What's wrong with your luck? Since the male lead and supporting actress are a couple, they will definitely try to kick you out of the cast. Why hasn't anyone considered who would benefit after you leave?" Rose sighed, "However, I'm already used to seeing you come across obstacles in everything you do. If nothing goes wrong, then you wouldn't be Y/N."

"What has the director said about this issue?"

"They are looking for a replacement," Y/N replied.

"Are they replacing you?"

"They are replacing Leo," Y/N laughed at Rose's high pitched response.

"Good..." Rose breathed a sigh of relief. "If I wasn't trying to get pregnant, I would be following by your side every day. What kind of assistant did Boss hire for you? She doesn't seem to be handling matters seriously."

"Just focus on getting pregnant. Don't worry about my problems."

"Since nothing is actually wrong, then I'm of course not worried. It's just, continuously hearing rumors about you and Boss getting a divorce, is really firing me up."

Y/N understood that Rose truly cared about her, so she let her continue nagging for a while before she finally hung up.

Afterwards, she received a phone call from Taehyung. The first thing he said as she picked up the phone was, "Who were you talking to for so long? I kept trying to call, but it couldn't get through..."

"Guess," Y/N replied in a cheeky tone.

"Rose," Taehyung assumed, "I was only teasing."

"Regarding the rumor, we originally suppressed it, but then Leo stepped out again to say a few words, reigniting the flame."

"I'm prepared for the backlash," Y/N replied calmly. "Hubby...if Leo didn't have bad intentions, I would have enjoyed seeing his relationship with Yuri. Yuri is the type of woman that is willing to do anything for Leo. I can tell how helpless she must feel."

"I don't enjoy seeing anything, I simply want to destroy those that bully you," Taehyung replied in seriousness. "Lee Sun Kyun already knows how to handle this matter, so you don't need to do anything. Kim Entertainment will also deal with everything PR related."

If Leo wanted to cause a stir, they were going to let him do as he liked.

So, when the media interviewed Leo, he directly told them that he wasn't sure why Elder Cho kept picking on Y/N and explained that Y/N was following him around because she wanted to cooperate with him. As for anything else that might be happening, he wasn't sure.

The way he spoke, hinted that Y/N was indeed being treated indecently.

The entertainment industry had always been an industry of groundless accusations. Leo simply provoked them a little and the media's imagination immediately went wild.

[Confirmed: Y/N's been treated indecently!]

[Actor from same cast proves that Y/N has been treated indecently! What is the future of the 'Tae-Y/N' marriage?]

[Tae-Y/N' marriage on the rocks. Taehyung locks himself in office after revelation of incident.]

Facing the aggravated media, Kim Entertainment stopped trying to suppress the rumor and instead sent Leo a warning, "The first step to being a good actor is learning how to be an honest person."

This was Kim Entertainment's method of hinting that Leo was a liar. In an instant, the public could no longer determine what was true and what was false.

However, Taehyung and Elder Kim weren't in a hurry. Leo's actions weren't reason enough for him to be replaced yet. So, they waited to see if he would do something worse. After all, faceslap-inducing incidents like this were always more enjoyable when it hit the climax.

Logically, with the crew in a mess, Lee Sun Kyun was expected to focus on managing the film's PR. After all, the involvement of any indecent act was damaging for the film.

But, Lee Sun Kyun remained calm and did nothing. In fact, he took a few days off work, claiming to be sick, and handed filming over to the assistant director. While he wasn't around, he asked the assistant director to give everyone a bit of a break and to only film a few unimportant scenes.

In reality, he had flown to the US to meet with the actor that Taehyung had helped him scout. The man had heard that Lee Sun Kyun would be directing and was excited to open up to the Asian market, so he agreed to see him.

Lee Sun Kyun felt, everything that had happened, was a blessing in disguise.

But, someone was going to end up quite pitiful...

How dare he make up rumors about Elder Kim!

Lee Sun Kyun tried to imagine the expression on Leo's face once Elder Kim's identity was revealed. Just the thought of it was satisfying.

Meanwhile, because of Taehyung's calmness towards the issue, Y/N was unaffected by the rumors. She continued to take care of Elder Kim and learned a lot from his years of experience.

Suzy tried to convince Y/N to hide out for a bit, but Y/N shook her head and refused, "I have been innocent from the start. If I am to hide, then it would prove that what they are saying is the truth. Plus, there's nothing for me to be afraid of."

She had the entire crew and Taehyung backing her up...

If Leo was to benefit from this incident, not only Taehyung, but also Lee Sun Kyun would be humiliated​.

"OK. Your fans have also expressed that they will believe whatever you say."

Y/N nodded her head as she smiled. It seemed her fans had already developed a heart as strong as a diamond. They must have realized by now that they couldn't trust any words that did not come directly from her mouth.

"Tell them to remain patient. The truth will eventually be revealed."

"OK." Seeing Y/N's confidence, Suzy felt she no longer had reason to be worried. So, she did as Y/N instructed and relayed her message to her fans.

After hearing from Suzy, the fans minds were at ease. Although Y/N was being torn apart in multiple discussions, the pride that Y/N brought them, outweighed all this negativity. They all knew how good Y/N was. So, even if the rumors continued to spread to the ends of the earth, they refused to believe it.

After all, their idol did not handle matters the typical way.

So, they decided to sit and wait for Leo to be taught a lesson.

Of course, Leo still had more up his sleeves. To be able to get to where he was in the entertainment industry, he of course had his ways.

At the same time that Y/N was rumored to be treated indecently and having a rocky marriage with Taehyung, her phone number was also leaked to the public.

An immoral media company got hold of her number and immediately made a phone call, "Are you Y/N? Are you? This can't be."

At first, Y/N could still handle the random phone calls. But after the media called her one after another and confirmed it was her, Y/N's phone did not stop ringing for the rest of the day.

"Y/N, that 'Leo' seems to be taking things too far," Suzy was originally indifferent towards him, but now, she was extremely angered.

Y/N looked at her phone with a dark expression. A little while later, Taehyung arrived at the hotel. As he stepped into Y/N's room, a reporter called.

As soon as Taehyung saw this, he picked it up.

"This must be Y/N. Is it true that you've been treated indecently?"

"What company are you from?" Taehyung asked without a second thought.

"I am from Huaming Media and Communications Company," the reporter answered, obviously not realizing who was on the phone. He simply thought it was a nearby staff who wanted to reveal some information. But, to his surprise, Taehyung replied without flinching, "Wait for your company to be closed down." After speaking, he hung up the phone and gestured for Suzy to leave the room.

"I'm fine," Y/N reassured as she looked at Taehyung and held onto his hand. "I know you guys have your plans, so I'm just patiently waiting."

"I got Chanyeol to change your phone number..."

Taehyung understood that Y/N was a sentimental person, so he added, "Hold onto your old number. Once the media have stopped bothering you, you can use it again."

Y/N knew that Taehyung understood her, so she simply smiled submissively without a word.

"Also, if you want to do something, then just do it. Don't worry about anyone else. Lee Sun Kyun's plans will not affect you," Taehyung encouraged. He simply wanted Y/N to be happy. If he could get revenge for her, he was willing to break all rules and overlook all schemes.

"OK," Y/N nodded, acknowledging Taehyung's support.

Taehyung's heart ached as he pulled Y/N into his embrace and gently ran his fingers through her hair, "I will definitely boost you up to the pinnacle of the entertainment industry. That way, everyone will be left so far behind that they won't dare to do anything to you."

Y/N understood Taehyung's intentions, so she hugged him tighter...

"I just need to know that we will never be defeated and I'm satisfied."

"That's a given!"

...

After visiting Y/N, Taehyung walked out of the hotel and instructed Chanyeol, "Huaming Media and Communications Company. I want to see news of them being shut down tomorrow."

"Also, have you found out where the old man is living?"

"I'll take you to see him," Chanyeol immediately led the way.

Taehyung followed behind Chanyeol with a dark expression and entered into the garden of Elder Kim's villa. At this moment, Elder Kim was standing leisurely under a cage and playing with the bird inside. As soon as he saw Taehyung, he frantically ran to hide.

"There's no point hiding," Taehyung's voice was cold, "From the moment you stepped foot out of the airport, I already knew you had returned. Come out!"

Elder Kim furrowed his brows and had no choice but to step out from hiding to face his grandson.

The old indeed had to make way for the new. This rascal had actually known he was here from the day he arrived. From the looks of it, his every move had been monitored by his precious grandson.

"Since you pretended not to know for so long, why didn't you continue pretending?" the old man asked as he waved his fan. Seeing that Taehyung did not respond, he assumed he knew the answer, "Worried about your wife?"

"How much longer do you want to analyze her?" Taehyung was indeed getting a little impatient. He had already given the old man so much time, was he still not happy with her?

"Why are you in such a rush?" Elder Kim sat down calmly at a stone table, "When the time is right, I will eventually reveal myself to her."

The grandfather and grandson's eyes met. Taehyung of course knew the 'right time' that his grandfather was referring to. Since Leo had blown matters out of proportion and wanted to delay the work of the crew, there was no reason for him to play nice.

Taehyung scoffed. Just as he was about to turn and leave, the old man looked up and said, "The young lady hasn't passed my last test yet, but she's been doing pretty well so far."

Taehyung turned around and gave the old man a glare of warning; if the old man was to go too far with his tricks, he would have no choice but to step out and help his wife.

...

After Y/N's phone number was leaked, the public had another reason to focus on her. So, when Lee Sun Kyun returned on set, Leo began to make slight hints to him.

"Director Lee, is it worth continuing filming like this?"

Lee Sun Kyun looked at Leo with a slightly amused look, "It's my fault that I didn't discipline my staff properly. That's why both rumors and Y/N's phone number were leaked at the same time."

"Director Lee, we both know what's going on here. Stop playing Chess with me," Leo wanted to get his plan going, so he tried to drag Lee Sun Kyun into it.

This time, Lee Sun Kyun gave him a piercing glare, but still managed to smile, "Give it two days. Something will happen in two days. A big piece of news will be announced."

"I will definitely help you," Leo smirked. Assuming that Lee Sun Kyun also had the intention to replace Y/N, he decided to stir up the crew one last time.

Lee Sun Kyun understood his expression. So, as soon as Leo left, Lee Sun Kyun immediately contacted Elder Kim, "It seems like Leo still has something big up his sleeves."

"That will be the best time to destroy him once and for all..." Elder Kim said suggestively.

Leo was, after all, in Lee Sun Kyun's crew. It wouldn't​ be hard for him to keep track of his whereabouts.

Lee Sun Kyun nodded his head. His mind was completely clear of his path ahead.

Once Leo made a move, they would be able to collect their trap. Lee Sun Kyun had already signed a contract with the international actor he met and he was scheduled to arrive in 3 days. The timing was perfect!

"I really don't want to reveal my identity...I haven't played enough yet."

"Then don't reveal it. I can handle that b*stard on my own," Lee Sun Kyun laughed.

"I have no choice. The rascal came by not too long and gave me a warning...If I continue to play tricks, you might find me shot dead on the beach. It's best I pick the easy path," Elder Kim scoffed. Regardless of everything else, Taehyung was in control of Kim Group. So, he had to show the almighty President Kim some face.

"Is Elder Kim afraid of President Kim?"

"A king today, becomes a subject tomorrow. The world now belongs to him. I simply want to eat, drink and play. It's best I don't play with fire, or else I could land in serious trouble. The consequences would not be worth it," the old man weighed his options.

Everyone waited patiently for Leo to pull his last move. However, he did not show any signs of action for two days. Although he still expressed his dissatisfaction towards the cast, he was not persistent with it.

With the help of Kim Entertainment's PR, filming eventually continued as usual.

Although Y/N had experienced a slight distraction, after changing her phone number, her life also returned to normal.

All this was thanks to the power that Taehyung had. As a result, Leo realized, if he didn't make a move soon, the entire incident would eventually be swept under the rug by Kim Entertainment.

So, that night, while Y/N was waiting to film her scene, a visitor appeared on set claiming to be Leo's friend. The friend asked Y/N for the whereabouts of Leo, so she casually pointed to where he was filming a fight scene. The friend thankfully nodded his head and disappeared from sight.

Y/N had a feeling something wasn't right, but she couldn't figure out what it was. So, when Suzy returned to her side, she whispered some instructions into her ear and Suzy swiftly left.

Although Y/N couldn't pinpoint the problem, her instincts were strong. Why would someone visit at this time?

Of course, she couldn't directly pull the man over and interrogate him. So, she had to be careful in her investigation, in case she was overreacting.

However, this simple exchange with a stranger was enough to trigger the trap that Leo had laid out...

1am, a huge news once again stirred up the entire entertainment industry. The actor, Leo, had been attacked and was in a coma at the hospital!

As soon as the crew of 'The Lost Relative' received news of the incident, Lee Sun Kyun immediately rushed to the hospital. Meanwhile, Leo's management agency tried their best to contain the news.

"What happened?" By the time that Lee Sun Kyun arrived at the hospital, all he saw was Leo's manager sitting on a chair covered in blood. He appeared to have undergone quite a battle.

"Director Lee, after returning from the set, someone was unexpectedly waiting to ambush Leo at home. Originally, Leo's skills were enough to fend the culprit off. But, because he was trying to protect me, he ended up being stabbed. He was just sent into the emergency room. This is a phone that the culprit dropped. Inside, I found Y/N's phone number."

The manager handed the bloody phone to Lee Sun Kyun.

Lee Sun Kyun furrowed his brows. He suddenly realized what was going on. The 'help' that Leo said he was going to provide, turned out to be a self-scripted, self-directed act.

Since he had no hesitation in arranging his own injury, it was clear to see how calculative he was. A simple car accident was definitely not enough to scare him away.

"I will investigate this matter thoroughly," Lee Sun Kyun said to Leo's manager. "But before I find out the truth, don't tell the media anything. After all, this matter does not benefit Leo."

"I understand. However, I feel bad for Leo. We only spoke the truth, yet we were attacked. Can the Kim Family do whatever they want? Is there no longer any justice?"

Lee Sun Kyun held back his disgust towards Leo and patted the manager on his shoulder, "Don't worry, I will get justice for him."

"I hope so. Otherwise, our agency definitely won't let Kim Entertainment get away with it!"

After comforting Leo's manager, Lee Sun Kyun instructed the assistant director and a couple of staff to stay at the hospital. His intention was for them to keep an eye on Leo's every move. Afterwards, he contacted Taehyung and warned him about Leo's intention to slander Y/N. He also explained Leo's entire plan to both the grandfather and grandson.

"I must take my hat off to him if he really dared to injure himself for an act," Elder Kim scoffed as he waved his fan. "I can't believe this Leo would result to doing anything."

"Since he wants to put up allegations against Y/N, he can't simply depend on a phone number. This isn't substantial evidence. He must have something else..."

"Last night, Y/N gave directions to a strange man. The man claimed to be visiting the set as a friend of Leo's. Y/N instructed her assistant to follow the man and to take some photos of him. So, I instructed Chanyeol to investigate further into it. If the incident today involved this man and we manage to find him, we will have Leo in the palm of our hands," Taehyung explained to Elder Kim and Lee Sun Kyun.

"Y/N has always been wary of her surroundings. I'm not surprised that she realized something was wrong," Lee Sun Kyun nodded approvingly. "So, our main focus is now on this mysterious man."

"Leo is talented, but he schemes against others too much. Now that I look at the entire situation as a whole, I can feel my hairs standing on end. It's lucky that Y/N takes one step at a time carefully. Otherwise, she may have already been killed by this man without knowing it. It's all my fault for not getting to know him properly," Lee Sun Kyun sighed as he looked guiltily at the two men in front of him. "Is Y/N OK after all that's​ happened?"

"She's asleep. She's long gotten used to stuff like this," Taehyung chuckled; if he had not coaxed her to sleep, he may still be in the room right now.

"That's good. I was worried she had been affected. But from the looks of it, she already mentally prepared herself last night. I must bow down to her calmness," Lee Sun Kyun praised.

These days, there really weren't many actresses, or even women, that were like Y/N. On the surface she appeared weak and fragile, but in the end, she always stunned people with the way she handled matters.

She was serious and hardworking without any intention to harm others. This was definitely the reason why Taehyung adored her so much.

"Regardless of what's happening, the results will be revealed tomorrow." He had complete faith in Chanyeol's investigation skills.

"I don't think Leo will sit back and do nothing. Just wait for it, I'm sure there will be a good show tomorrow."

Elder Kim sat to one side and listened to the conversation between the two men. In reality, hearing about all this suspicion and deception hurt his ears. This was what he hated most about the entertainment industry. It was also the reason why he had handed everything to Taehyung as soon as he could.

For those that spent all day thinking about harming others and not focusing on their acting, he wondered how were they to progress and receive awards?

This was why he liked Y/N's calm presence.

She was not easy to deal with, but she never initiated any attacks. It was obvious she had a bottom line.

If Y/N did one more thing that he liked, she would be perfect...

It didn't take long before the night passed and dawn hit. However, the news of Leo's injury had not completely disappeared.

Without a doubt, Leo had spread word of his injury as much as he could. He wanted everyone to see his injury and claimed that Y/N was to blame!

Although Leo's agency did not specifically state that Y/N was involved with Leo's injury, they revealed to the public that Y/N's phone number appeared on the culprit's phone. In other words, they were telling everyone that Y/N was behind the entire incident.

"We will report this matter to the police and let them look into it. I'm sure we will see a result very soon. We would like to thank the public for their concern. As soon as Leo wakes up, we will tell you about his condition. I hope everyone can be at ease."

Leo was determined to push Y/N into the firing line. So, as soon as he woke up, he arranged to see the reporters and the police.

He appeared to be quite badly injured. His head was wrapped tightly with a thick layer of bandages, while is pale face made him look extra skinny. As one looked into his eyes, they could see that they were slightly bloodshot.

"The culprit wanted my life..."

"I hope the police can get justice for me by investigating the truth."

"We must punish the instigator!"

"That's enough for now. Leo's condition isn't too good, so we will not be accepting any more interviews today. Regarding his attack, he will hold a press conference to explain everything once he is fully recovered. I hope the media can be understanding towards him," Leo's manager said as he led the reporters out of the hospital room. The only person left behind was a police officer who was recording Leo's statement.

A little while later, the police officer left the hospital and headed over to Kim Entertainment to summon Y/N.

As soon as everyone heard of this, the entertainment industry was in an uproar. Was Y/N the one that instigated Leo's attack?

If not, why did the police directly summon her and not anyone else?

To avoid commotion, the police did not act during the day. Since they presented Y/N with proper documentation, she had no choice but to cooperate.

Taehyung offered a meeting room for the police to use as Y/N rushed over from home. Of course, Taehyung wasn't a force to be reckoned with. As Y/N headed for the room, 3 lawyers followed closely behind.

"Relax, everything will be fine," Taehyung reassured Y/N as he patted her on the shoulder.

"Yes, I know," Y/N nodded her head. She understood this was normal legal procedure that could not be avoided.

Taehyung gently patted her on the head as he watched her walk into the meeting room with the lawyers. After she sat down, the police began their interrogation.

"Mrs. Kim, I would like to show you a video that was recorded on set," the police officer handed Y/N a phone. As soon as Y/N saw it, she smiled.

"This man claimed to be a friend of Leo's. In this video, he was lost, so I merely pointed him the way to where Leo was filming."

The police officer put away the phone and continued with another question, "Then, how do you explain that your phone number was in the culprit's phone?"

"Mr. Police Officer, how do you expect me to answer this question?" Y/N asked calmly. "My phone number was recently leaked to the public - everyone knows it. Yet, you are asking me how he got my number?"

"It has been proven that the man in the video was indeed the person that attacked Leo. We are currently looking for him. As soon as we find him, the truth will be revealed," the police were well aware that they weren't going to get any information from Y/N. After all, their evidence wasn't substantial. So, even though Y/N was the biggest suspect, they couldn't do anything to her.

"We will not be lenient towards any criminal actions whatsoever."

The words of the police seemed to contain a deeper meaning. So Y/N replied in seriousness, "I hope you remember what you have said today."

"Let's go," after they were done with their questions, the police got up to leave. But, just as they started walking out the door, they turned around and added, "Now that things have been blown out of proportion, you are going to be affected. You should take extra note of your safety."

"I have my methods of proving my innocence. Thank you for your concern," Y/N smiled elegantly.

The two police officers were a little surprised by her response, but they quickly turned to leave. However, after they left, Y/N's expression was no longer comfortable and relaxed.

Back during Yue Shanshan's incident, she had also encountered a self-scripted, self-directed act; back then, she remained quiet and kept herself out of it. However, this time, Leo's act had completely dragged her into the midst of the situation and made it impossible for her to get out.

Afterwards, Taehyung entered the meeting room and held onto Y/N's hand tightly, "Chanyeol has already secured some evidence. He will definitely find the man before the police do."

"Why don't we work alongside the police?"

"I need to personally get evidence of your innocence before I hand him over to the police."

Taehyung was used to taking the initiative. Since Leo wanted to hold a press conference to explain the incident, Taehyung was going ensure that he put on a good show.

"Trust Chanyeol. Nothing will go wrong."

Y/N nodded her head, "Of course, I'm confident you won't let me suffer from injustice. In reality, I'm more worried about you. I don't care what the public say, because I know the truth will eventually prevail."

"You have a strong heart," Taehyung hugged Y/N as his heart ached and felt comforted at the same time. They then returned to Taehyung's office together.

Taehyung worked while Y/N accompanied him.

Actually, for Y/N, no problem was big enough to drag her down, as long as her man continued to love her.

However, to counterattack Leo, not only did they have to find the man, they also needed to prove that he had a reason. In other words, they had to prove that he was in a relationship with Yuri.

Y/N was still unaware of Elder Kim's identity. So, she had no idea that Lee Sun Kyun had already set a trap within a trap.

The public barely heard anything about Leo and Yuri, so those that knew of their relationship were rare.

Thinking of this, Y/N's expression darkened. She then told Taehyung, "I want Namjoon to help me put on an act to get evidence of Leo and Yuri's relationship."

"What do you want to do?" Taehyung asked with an interested smile.

"This plan might work," Y/N stared into Taehyung's eyes.

Perhaps it was in their DNA, Namjoon's ability to impersonate others was impressive, just like Elder Kim's. Taehyung found a whole heap of Leo's audio recordings and handed them to Namjoon. He then asked him to act as Leo.

Of course, Namjoon did not want to be involved in this matter. But, not only was a family member being bullied, Naeun was also encouraging him to help. So, in the end, Namjoon spent some time practicing Leo's voice. After his voice was 80-90% similar, he picked up his phone and called Yuri.

At first, Yuri did not pick up the phone. But after Namjoon sent her a message, she finally picked up.

"Yuri speaking."

"It's me," Namjoon skillfully imitated Leo.

After hearing a familiar voice, Yuri let out a sigh of relief and complained, "Why are you calling me at this time? Didn't we agree not to contact each other for a while?"

"I need to see you about something. We can't meet at home, so I can only meet you outside. Let's meet at our usual meeting spot."

"OK, wait for me there."

"Don't try to call me. I don't want the media to find out."

"Understood," Yuri was extremely obedient.

Namjoon hung up the phone and threw it aside. He then looked at Naeun and Y/N proudly. It was almost like he was telling them not to ask him to do something so simple again, as it was a waste of his time.

Naeun made a biting gesture at him, while Y/N looked gloomily out the window. She had her fingers crossed that the person she sent to follow Yuri would gain some useful information.

It's not that Yuri wasn't being cautious, but over the past few days, Leo had made her extremely tense. So, she could no longer tell when Leo was telling the truth or lying. He simply told her, "Everything will be settled in a few days. When that time comes, you will be the female lead."

By this point, Yuri had long given up on the idea of being female lead. All she was worried about now, was whether Leo would be exposed.

However, Leo didn't share any information with her. He simply told her to wait and to make sure not to reveal their relationship. But, this cluelessness was the reason that she took Namjoon's bait as soon as he threw it out - because she had no idea what Leo had planned.

In the middle of the night, Yuri left her home without her assistant. All alone, she drove to her usual meeting place with Leo; an underground cafe.

However, after she arrived, she realized Leo was not there. She then received a phone call from Namjoon, "I was discovered by my manager, so I won't be able to come out tonight. Go home first and we'll meet another time."

Yuri did not question the voice that she heard. So she quickly returned home without realizing that she was being tailed.

She was in too much of a panic to notice...

Those that were sent out by Taehyung, had always been trustworthy. So it didn't take long before he received information from the cafe about a nearby hotel that Yuri and Leo often frequented. He even got hold of a record of their stays and photos from locals of the two entering and exiting the hotel.

The hotel was in a hidden location and had strong confidentiality procedures. However, the staff couldn't resist bribes. After all, there was no way for their boss to find out who leaked the information.

While all this was going on, Chanyeol also sent over an update. Although the culprit had escaped once again, he had already secured important evidence and believed he'd capture the man in the next two days.

With evidence in their hands, Y/N finally let out a sigh of relief. Meanwhile, Naeun looked admiringly at Y/N and praised, "I knew it, Y/N is the smartest..."

"Why don't you ever say that my acting is good?" Namjoon scoffed unhappily as he looked at Naeun.

"Now, we can only hope that Chanyeol puts in enough effort...He can't let anything go wrong at this point!" Naeun placed her palms together and prayed sincerely to the skies.

Namjoon was helpless against her. So, he stood up and forcefully dragged her out, "Since my job is done here, I'll be making my leave. I have a lot of plants at home that need taking care of; I can't be gone for too long."

This was Naeun's new method of curing Namjoon's laziness. His home now had 5 cats, 5 dogs, 5 parrots, 5 turtles and a garden full of plants.

Surprisingly, her method worked on him. Apart from filming, he now spent most of his time at home, improving his character.

"Don't worry, nothing bad will happen," Namjoon comforted. After all, Lee Sun Kyun was also preparing something.

Elder Kim was still waiting to serve Leo a lethal attack.

Actually, when they looked at the problem as a whole, it wasn't a high level of difficulty. Even though Leo had control over public opinion, they still had more evidence in their hands.

Perhaps due to fear that the longer they dragged out the issue, the more likely Y/N would find evidence, Leo decided to hold a press conference three days after he woke up.

Because the incident this time was extremely disgusting and involved both Y/N and Kim Entertainment's reputation, the media crowded into the press conference organized by Leo's agency. It was to be held in hall 5 of a random 5-star hotel...

Leo did not need to prepare much. He simply had to ride a wheelchair onto the stage and the scene was enough to spark headline ideas for the media.

Leo's manager held onto a microphone and started off by thanking the media. He then said in a serious tone, "Regarding Leo's attack this time, all I can say is that we were extremely heartbroken when we found out the truth."

"Of course, I can't jump to conclusions since the police are still investigating the matter. So I can only ask Leo to describe the incident in detail," the manager handed his microphone to the wheelchair-bound Leo.

Leo was dressed in a hospital gown and the bandage on his head still had traces of blood. His head was initially down, but after receiving the microphone, he looked up and faced the countless cameras and flashes.

"I...am quite baffled by this incident."

"In fact, I don't know what I've done wrong to be attacked in this way."

"On the night of the incident, my manager escorted me home to get some rest. But, to our surprise, there were a bunch of people waiting in front of my house with axes, iron poles and other weapons. I started my career as a stunt double, so my skills aren't bad. But, one of the men decided to target my manager, so I had no choice but to block a hit for him. As a result, I lost consciousness. Fortunately, my manager got hold of the man's phone during the struggle."

"The police have not come to a conclusion yet, so I don't know what the truth is..."

"But, I can confirm that Y/N's phone number was found on the culprit's phone..."

"Plus, police investigations have found that the man that hit me has previously come in contact with Y/N."

"I really don't want to tie such a horrible incident to a woman, but..."

"...if I pity her, who would pity me?"

Leo paused for a moment, pretending to hold back tears.

His manager quickly tried to control his emotions as he added, "I hope the conclusion that the police come to in the end won't have anything to do with Y/N. Or else, I will use the law to battle with Kim Entertainment until the end."

"As the Big Boss of entertainment, Kim Entertainment have a status that can't be easily shaken. If the incident this time was really caused by Y/N, I hope President Kim can let her step out and give a formal apology."

"As an outsider, I don't want to get involved with your marital affairs. I am simply expressing my standpoint and have no intention to offend. If Y/N feels angered by what I have said, I would like to apologize in advance. I am still waiting for the results from the police..."

Leo firstly expressed his innocence, then he explained the situation. Lastly, he placed Kim Entertainment's reputation on the line.

He also claimed that Y/N's motive was because he had said a few things that he shouldn't have. This included claims that Y/N had a bad temper while Taehyung spoiled and protected her.

The media had heard stories long ago, but now, they received confirmation.

Leo successfully lured the public's opinion onto his side by playing the image of a victim perfectly.

Otherwise, why would he have entered on a wheelchair and why did his bandages have blood?

He obviously wanted to get pity from them!

"This time, the issue has gotten so big, Kim Entertainment can't possibly protect Y/N any more, right?"

"If they do, then there's really no justice in this world! Just because they have power and status, they think they can step all over others?"

"This time, she was involved in an indecent act, and she also paid to injure someone. I wonder what she has to say about this?"

"I must bow down to Y/N. No one can stop her from scheming wherever she goes."

"If we kick Y/N out of the industry this time, I'm sure no one will object."

"Yes, Y/N, get out!"

"Shoo!"

...

Various discussions filled the hall; the majority were promises from reporters that they'd help Leo get revenge as they directed their anger towards Y/N...

They wanted justice...

Leo looked at everyone's responses and tried to conceal the darkness in his eyes. While no one noticed, the corners of his lips curved upwards, ever so slightly.

The truth would never be revealed. All they would believe was that Y/N paid someone to injure him...

Faced with the continuously flashing cameras, Leo and his manager looked at each other. They understood what the other was thinking.

However, just as everyone was about to turn to their studios to type out a huge news story, the door to hall 5 suddenly flew open...

Everyone turned to find Y/N standing in the doorway wearing a long light blue dress.

"Oh God, Y/N's here."

"How dare she come here..."

"Y/N..."

The media immediately crowded around her and started throwing questions her way.

"Y/N, are you here to prove your innocence?"

"Y/N, say a few words..."

"Y/N..."

Y/N smiled confidently at the media. She then said, "You've already spent half the day listening to Leo. Is it time for you to listen to what I have to say?"

As soon as the media heard Y/N's words, they immediately understood her intention. So, they began to beam with excitement. They knew Y/N would twist everything around and give them an even more spectacular story to write about.

"Please, you may all sit. Although this was originally Leo's press conference, I was somehow dragged into the mix, so I feel it's reasonable for me to come say a few words. I can't simply stay quiet and do nothing, right?"

In order to gain an even more spectacular news story, the reporters slowly returned to their seats and prepared themselves to watch a good show.

Leo and his manager looked at each other again, reminding each other to act accordingly. After all, Y/N was never easy to deal with.

They watched as Y/N approached the stage with a smile. She started off by bowing gently before she lifted her head to face the media, "I actually have a few questions I would like to ask Mr. Leo."

"Y/N, what else do you have up your sleeves? Haven't you hurt me enough?" Leo complained.

"You said I paid someone to injure you based on two reasons: number one, the culprit had my phone number in his phone; number two, he had previously come in contact with me. So, I would like to reveal the truth behind this."

"Firstly, my phone number was leaked to the public not too long ago. I'm sure everyone here has my phone number in their phones. In fact, many of you have tried to call me with that number!"

As soon as everyone heard this, they looked at each other awkwardly; especially those that had harassed her more than once.

"Secondly, the man came in contact with me merely to ask for directions. He said he was a friend of yours, visiting you on set, so I showed him where to go. How is that paying someone to injure you?"

"Did you think someone would believe the story you've made up?" Leo lifted his chin and questioned Y/N.

However, Y/N did not hurry as she replied, "In that case, what proof do you guys have that Leo didn't create this entire incident himself? Is it simply based on the fact that he has an injury?"

After hearing Y/N's question, the media began laughing in ridicule, "Are you trying to say that Leo self-scripted and self-directed his own attack? Who would ask someone to do that to them?"

"Isn't Leo also talking nonsense without evidence?" Y/N calmly took control of the hall.

"Why would he frame you when he has no grudges against you? If you want to throw the blame onto someone else, you should find a better excuse."

"No grudges?" Y/N emphasized as she looked at the people below the stage. She then scoffed, "Who told you he has no grudge against me?"

"In that case, tell us what grudge he has," the media challenged.

Y/N waited a few seconds before lifting her head and explaining, "Firstly, I would like to draw your attention to a few recent incidences. Not too long ago, during one of my car scenes, my car was tampered with. Fortunately, I found out in time and prevented myself from becoming the person lying in bed right now. The entire production crew can bear witness to this."

"Afterwards, a man called Elder Cho suddenly appeared on set. As he disliked my acting style, I decided to take care of him while learning from his experience, hoping he'd agree to cooperate with me. However, someone decided to turn this into a story about me being treated indecently and even claimed that my marriage was on the rocks."

"Following on, my phone number was leaked to the public..."

"And then, I was suddenly accused of paying for an attack..."

"From the start, I have been the one that's received the most damage. So, how did Leo suddenly turn into the victim?" Y/N asked.

The media looked at each other. It seemed they really hadn't looked at the issue as a whole.

"You are all the leaders of the media. I'm sure you can figure out on your own that if I was to scheme against others, Kim Entertainment's backing would be enough to shelter me from anything. Why would I put myself in such a hopeless state?"

"I already have Taehyung, why would I need to do something indecent to get what I want?"

"And when have I ever used such underhanded methods against anyone?"

"Are you claiming that Leo is defaming you? He has no reason to!" the reporters could not understand why Leo would take this risk when they'd had no bad history together.

"Y/N, don't you think your story is getting a bit too ridiculous?" Leo added to the reporters' doubts. He was confident that public opinion was already on his side, so he did not believe Y/N had the ability to change their minds.

"I'm sure you know whether I am making up a story or not," Y/N looked at him with ridicule as she smiled. Her eyes began to show signs of anger. "I was originally planning to give you a chance..."

"Quick, tell us what you know. Stop teasing," one of the reporters cried.

"The reason why Leo would defame me is quite simple."

"Because, he and Yuri...are a couple."

"What does it mean when the male lead and supporting actress are a couple? It means, if I was to withdraw from the cast, the supporting actress would become the female lead!"

As soon as Y/N's words left her mouth, the media were in an uproar.

Some people revealed a look of disdain, while others were stunned...

Everything now made sense; Leo had a motive. On the other hand, according to Y/N's EQ and IQ, it was inconsistent with her character to pay for someone to get attacked. This was something the reporters had questioned for a long time...

Y/N belonged to Kim Entertainment. If she wanted to teach someone a lesson, did she need to exhaust so much effort?

As he sensed that the media were slowly getting convinced, Leo suddenly pointed to Y/N and yelled, "I've never seen a woman that is more shameless than you. In order to hide your crime, you've thrown the blame on an innocent person."

"You claim that Yuri and I are a couple. But, who has seen us together and who has proof?"

"Yuri and I are just acquaintances. Don't make false claims. It's best for you to admit to your wrongdoings while it's still early."

"Acquaintances? Are you sure?" Y/N asked with a deeper meaning. Her confidence sent shivers down Leo's spine.

However, he had already gone this far; there was already no turning back...

"If you have evidence, then show it."

Y/N stared at him firmly for 3 seconds before she turned to face the media, "As long as one is persistent, there is evidence everywhere. However, I think it's best if we ask Yuri to explain everything herself..."

"Where's Yuri?

"Is Yuri here?"

Leo sneered. Y/N was usually smart, but even if Yuri made an appearance today, there would be no way that she'd stand on her side. Was there something wrong with Y/N's head for her to think otherwise?

Y/N also sneered at Leo. However, her sneer contained a sense of danger and provocation.

The media stretched their necks and looked towards the entrance of the hall. However, ten seconds passed, but there was no sign of Yuri. In the end, they asked Y/N impatiently, "Stop fooling with us. If you have evidence, then show it all at once."

"Exactly. Stop teasing."

"Hurry, tell Yuri to come out."

Looking at the anxious reporters, Y/N finally turned towards the entrance. A moment later, the doors of hall 5 flew open. Walking in was not only Yuri, but also Lee Sun Kyun, the assistant director and the producer.

Of course, Yuri never expected she'd fall into Lee Sun Kyun's trap. She thought he wanted to see her because he wanted to discuss role changes in the film. But, instead, he directly walked her into Leo's press conference.

The reporters once again erupted!

What kind of internal battle were the crew of 'The Lost Relative' getting themselves into?

This was more entertaining to watch than the film itself.

The male lead was accusing the female lead of paying to get him injured.

While the female lead was accusing the male lead and supporting actress of framing her.

What was the actual story? As the number of people in the hall increased, so did the confusion towards the truth.

"Yuri is here. Yuri, say a few words. Y/N said that you and Leo are lovers, but Leo immediately denied it. What do you have to say regarding this? Are you and Leo lovers?"

Yuri originally had her arm hooked around Lee Sun Kyun's, but at this moment, it suddenly dropped to her side. She had no way of avoiding the media's questions.

"I..."

Yuri looked at Y/N and then at Leo. One was calm, while the other was dark and secretive.

But, she had previously declared that she would do anything to protect Leo. So...after careful thought, she lifted her head and replied firmly to the reporters, "Of course not. How could we possibly be lovers? Leo and I are just acquaintances."

"Y/N, I've never offended you. Don't go overboard!"

"Plus, everyone already knows that you paid someone to attack Leo. Why are you trying to deflect the public's attention elsewhere?"

"Leo and I are innocent. Why must you implicate me?"

Acquaintances...

Even their words were the same.

Everyone got the answer they were asking for, yet, Y/N continued to smile without the slightest bit of panic. This made Yuri feel slightly anxious.

"The parties involved have denied any relationship."

"So, what does Y/N have to say about this?"

Just as they were about to lose control of the crowd, Lee Sun Kyun suddenly waved at everyone and approached the microphone, "I would like to take this opportunity to express my thoughts."

"The replacement is definitely happening. My film does not welcome those with a wild ambition."

As soon as Lee Sun Kyun spoke, everyone was stunned. They couldn't believe that he had made a decision at a place like this. Was he planning to announce that he'd replace Y/N?

The reporters frantically snapped with their cameras as Leo looked at his manager with a deep and triumphant look. This was what they had been waiting for.

"Director Lee, since you've decided to replace Y/N, have you found a replacement?"

"Director Lee, by replacing Y/N, aren't you afraid that you'll bring trouble upon yourself?"

"Why would Director Lee be afraid? Isn't it everyone's responsibility to get rid of the society of rubbish?" Leo said as he looked at Y/N, obviously hinting that she was rubbish.

Lee Sun Kyun did not respond. He simply looked at the reporters below the stage and scoffed. They were much too immature.

While everyone thought Lee Sun Kyun was planning to replace Y/N, Lee Sun Kyun suddenly shrugged his shoulders and asked, "When did I say I was replacing Y/N?"

"You're not replacing Y/N?"

"Then who are you replacing?"

"Him of course - Leo!" Lee Sun Kyun placed his gaze on Leo and increased the firmness of his voice, "I'll let Y/N explain the rest to you. I will simply confirm that the car incident she spoke about, did indeed happen. This is something that the entire crew know about."

The reporters were stunned! After a few seconds, they finally realized they weren't hearing things - Lee Sun Kyun had indeed said that he was replacing Leo!

He was replacing Leo, not Y/N. Yes, Leo!

Leo's expression changed as he asked anxiously, "Director Lee, did Y/N say something to you? Or did Kim Entertainment bribe you?"

"I have already found an A-Grade actor. That's all I can say." After speaking, Lee Sun Kyun showed no regard for Leo as he patted Y/N on the shoulder and turned to leave.

Leo was the victim, but he was getting replaced!

What exactly happened?

"Director Lee, Leo and I are the victims. If you do this, the public aren't going to agree with you," Yuri couldn't help but warn.

"So, you want me to convince the public?" Y/N asked seriously as she looked at Yuri. "Yuri, I remember I warned you in the past...and I also gave you a chance."

"I know you've always been annoyed that I'm the female lead, while you're merely a supporting character. I also know that you think I secured my role because of Taehyung so you've thought about making me leave the cast. Am I right?"

"You're making false accusations!" Yuri refuted, "To make yourself sound innocent, you've been slandering Leo and I. How can you lie?"

"Slandering?" Y/N repeated this particular word as she lifted an eyebrow, "Are you lying to yourself when you say this?"

"Y/N, stop acting all high and mighty. If you are that great, you should show us some evidence," Leo pointed to Y/N with an anxious look in his eyes, "If you have no evidence, you should stop talking nonsense and shocking everyone for no reason."

"Evidence? Are you referring to this?" Y/N pulled out a photo from her bag of the couple intimately hugging and kissing. However...she didn't only have one. One after another, Y/N pulled out photos of the couple. The photos were taken from all different angles and they were wearing different clothes each time. In fact, they hadn't only met once or twice. It was clear to see that they had been together for at least a year, because all four seasons were represented clearly in the photos.

Leo's face turned pale...

"What? You don't recognize the people in the photos?" Y/N showed the photos to the reporters. "Is this the innocence you all speak of? Please don't offend the word 'acquaintances'."

As soon as the reporters realized there was explosive news to report on, they excitedly passed the photos around. Even though a few were a bit blurry, there were plenty that were clear. It was impossible for Leo to deny.

"Perhaps, you think these photos were Photoshopped? Are you planning to tell the reporters that I created these photos? That's fine, I still have other evidence..." Y/N then pulled out a record of their hotel stays, "Let's see how you explain this."

"Oh God, they've been secretly dating for at least a good few years."

"They must be really good at keeping secrets to have not been discovered!"

"Does this mean, Leo and Yuri are indeed a couple and everything Y/N has said is the truth?"

The reporters were going crazy; the news they had received was massive! Initially, everyone was already certain that Y/N had hurt someone. Yet, she somehow managed to turn the entire story around in such a thrilling and stimulating way.

Eventually, the photos and hotel records ended up in Director Lee's hands. Director Lee handed them to Yuri and asked, "Do you want to have a look?"

Yuri's face was white as a sheet of paper, but she still received the evidence from Lee Sun Kyun's hands. By this time, the tips of her fingers were also pale as she trembled.

All this evidence was impossible for her and Leo to deny.

Leo looked at Yuri and finally calmed himself down, "Even if Yuri and I are in a relationship, it doesn't mean that you didn't pay someone to attack me."

"So, are you admitting that you are in a relationship with Yuri?" Y/N looked at Leo and lifted an eyebrow provokingly. He nodded quietly. "So, that's a yes?"

"Since the male lead and supporting actress are a couple, I'm sure everyone can imagine the situation I am in. Especially since Yuri does not believe that I deserve the main role."

"This is an action film. Dangerous scenes make up at least 60% of the content and I have scenes with both of them. So, if they were to plot against me and cause an accident. Who would be the final benefactor?"

"Do I need to spell it out? Of course, it's Yuri."

"Yes, that's true," the reporters followed Y/N's analysis and began to understand the situation.

"Now, let's look at my rumors. They say I was involved in something indecent in exchange for benefits. Does it make sense for me to do something like that? My husband rules over the entertainment empire. If I accepted the underhanded methods of the industry, did you think I wouldn't be able to get whatever I wanted already?"

"Is there a problem with taking care of an old man? Why can't it be seen as a form of respect?"

"Did you think - by saying all this - you can prove that you didn't pay for someone to attack me?" Leo once again turned the attention back to his injury. Not only did he want to emphasize the main focus of the press conference, he also wanted to draw attention away from his relationship with Yuri.

"Then, let me ask you: are you not going to admit that you self-scripted and self-directed your own attack?" Y/N pointed out. "From the brakes of my car malfunctioning; to the rumors; to my phone number being leaked; and finally, claims that I had paid for an attack. Don't you feel like this was all planned?"

The reporters were shocked by Y/N's analysis. If this was really the truth, then Leo was quite frightening.

"Where's the evidence? Your theory sounds good, but do you have any witnesses? Or solid evidence?"

Leo decided to deny everything to the end. As long as he persisted, Y/N would eventually be the ultimate loser.

"You've already been replaced. What's the point of arguing?" Y/N reminded.

Leo came to his senses. He was indeed replaced by Lee Sun Kyun just a moment ago. In fact, he was replaced in front of everyone.

"I don't know anything you're talking about. Unless you can show some evidence, I will fight you to the end."

Y/N did not say anything, but Lee Sun Kyun had already had enough. He had never seen someone as thick-skinned and shameless as Leo. It was hard not to turn on him.

"Sorry, I would like to say a few words. Leo, do you know the true identity of Elder Cho, the man that you insulted?"

A confused expression appeared on Leo's face.

"Ha! You don't even who you offended. Aren't you afraid of slapping yourself in the face?"

"It's true that Y/N helped Elder Cho wash his clothes and cook dinner, but let me tell you, this is not weird at all. Even if she was to be by his side at his deathbed, it would be no surprise, because it is a part of her responsibilities."

Everyone looked at Lee Sun Kyun confusedly. Why was it her responsibilty?

Why did Y/N have to take care of him?

Even Y/N was a bit confused as to why Lee Sun Kyun would say such a thing. What did he mean?

"You should all stop looking at me for an answer. It's best that I get Elder Cho to explain everything himself." After speaking, Lee Sun Kyun pulled out his phone and made a phone call. The hall erupted in chatter; no one knew what Lee Sun Kyun had planned.

"Hmmph, just because he's an investor, does that mean he can do whatever he wants?" Leo sneered.

"He's not an investor though..." Lee Sun Kyun revealed with a smile. But this revelation only made everyone even more curious.
