After Se-ra reported to Taeyeon about Tiffany's safety, he immediately instructed Sooyoung to watch over her. If Lee Se-won dared to lift a finger, he could not blame Taeyeon for responding ruthlessly.

...

That night, Gu Heng tried multiple times to visit Lee Se-won at his room. But, everytime she knocked on the door, there was no one there. Worst of all, he didn't pick up his phone and even his assistant was nowhere to be found.

As a result, she was pretty certain that Lee Se-won would use the car scene to force Tiffany out.

Gu Heng did not dare to think of the consequences. So she spent the rest of the night in fear.

The next morning.

Tiffany headed out for her shoot, but ran into Gu Heng at the front of the hotel.

"Gu unnie?"

"I'll come with you on set. Didn't I promise to show you a demonstration?" Gu Heng reminded.

Tiffany smiled, "How could I bother you like that?"

"It's OK. I'm doing it for the sake of achieving a better result for the film in front of the audience," Gu Heng replied.

"OK then..."

The three women headed on set together. As they arrived, they found that the crew had already contacted the police to block off a stretch of road and everything was ready to go.

Gu Heng placed her gaze on Lee Se-won and tried to get his attention, but he completely ignored her. Obviously, he felt she was being too merciful.

This was Tiffany's first time filming a car scene. Even though all the cars followed a planned sequence, the director still ran through all the fine details with Tiffany.

Lee Se-won stood beside Tiffany. As Tiffany looked at him, she wondered what thoughts were running through his mind.

Did he not consider, if things got too serious, there was a possibility she may lose her life?

As expected, Tiffany's car was tampered with. 3am that very morning, although the cameras did not capture him, he did not escape the eyes of Sooyoung.

Meanwhile, Gu Heng was standing opposite Tiffany. As she looked at the way Tiffany looked at Lee Se-won, she had a feeling her gaze contained a sense of disdain and ridicule.

"Tiffany, when the cameras start rolling, you simply need to focus on that camera and remember which route to take. Let's do a practice run," Wei An suggested.

Tiffany glanced at Lee Se-won and nodded her head, "Director, can I test out the car first? I've never filmed such an intense scene, so I'm feeling a little nervous."

"Of course..." Wei An nodded.

"Why don't I test it out for you," Gu Heng nudged the assistant director aside and offered, "I have more experience in this. If I demonstrate, Tiffany will be able to learn faster."

Wei An analyzed Gu Heng and nodded his head, "Fine. Gu Heng demonstrate. Tiffany watch carefully."

Lee Se-won looked at Gu Heng with a stunned and angry expression. His gaze also contained an obvious panic.

Because he never expected that Gu Heng would directly block him from hurting Tiffany to the extent where she would be willing to risk her own life.

This was because she was trying to protect him...

So, she did not regret her decision.

"Tiffany is a professional, she doesn't need your demonstration," Lee Se-won grumbled in front of everyone. "Director, I'll show Tiffany to the car. I'm sure she'll get used to it after a quick drive."

"This does sound like a better use of our time..." Wei An nodded, agreeing to Lee Se-won's suggestion.

Tiffany looked at Lee Se-won as her lips slowly curved upwards, "Director Wei, I think if Se-won takes me for a drive, the result would be even better."

Hearing Tiffany's suggestion, Gu Heng's face turned pale...

Because this was proof that Tiffany knew what her and Lee Se-won had planned. Including Lee Se-won's plan today to injure her.

"Tiffany's right. Se-won, we will need to trouble you for a bit to go give Tiffany a demonstration," Wei An said as he pointed to the car parked not too far away.

Although Lee Se-won was given a difficult task, he remained calm. Because instead of walking over to Tiffany's car, he simply walked over to his own one instead.

However...his car happened to be out of fuel.

Seeing this, the props assistant immediately apologized, "Sorry, I forgot to check it. I'll go add some fuel now."

"In that case, drive Tiffany's car for now," Wei An said to Lee Se-won.

Lee Se-won furrowed his brows and looked at Tiffany. However, Tiffany looked back at him with a sense of interest and slight mockery...

Lee Se-won was surprised, but he still stepped out of his car and headed for Tiffany's car. At this time, Gu Heng suddenly blocked his way, "I still think it's best if I do it..."

This time, Wei An sensed something was a bit unusual, so he asked, "Why are you guys fighting over something like this?"

Gu Heng turned and looked at Tiffany, hoping she could show some mercy.

However, Tiffany laughed and said, "That's right. Gu unnie, you were supposed to have a day off today. You really don't need to worry about my safety, everyone is here. Although it's my first time doing a scene like this, I'm not afraid."

Gu Heng looked at Tiffany, at the way she wasn't willing to back down, and suddenly felt helpless.

"Se-won?" Wei An queried.

Lee Se-won pushed Gu Heng aside and boarded the car, locking the door firmly behind him...

He of course couldn't tell anyone that there was something wrong with the car brakes.

So he looked at Tiffany through the rear view mirror with a dangerous gaze.

He had never imagined that he'd fall into Tiffany's hands; a woman's hands...

How did she find out what was happening? Or did she actually not know and all this was just a coincidence?

Gu Heng watched as Lee Se-won sat in the car. She was still unsure whether she should take on all the blame to save him. If she was to do that, her future would be destroyed...

But, she knew that Lee Se-won did all this because of her. She couldn't let Lee Se-won take such a huge risk.

So, she had no choice but to beg Tiffany...

She even dragged Tiffany to one side, "Tiffany, I don't want to see either you or Se-won get hurt today. Could you please convince the Director not to use the car?"

"So, Gu unnie also knows that there's something wrong with the car?" Tiffany tested.

"I simply don't want..." Gu Heng looked extra uncomfortable. "Everything he did was for my sake. I hope you can show some mercy."

"Have you considered what might have happened if I started driving that car?" Tiffany asked straightforwardly.

"That's why I came. Whether it's you or him, I wasn't going to let either of you drive that car..."

"Even if you can prevent this incident, what about the next?" Tiffany asked.

Gu Heng was speechless...

She was right. What would she do next time?

"Since he has the courage to gamble with my life, he should give me a life in return. I have always been one to give an eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth. Even if you kneel down and beg me today, I will still make him drive that car. I need to let him know that not everyone can do as they please."

For the sake of her husband, she had to ensure that she lived better than others.

Gu Heng looked at Lee Se-won sitting in the car and felt all her strength had been sucked out of her body; all she had left, was fear.

"Se-won, let's get started," Wei An reminded, oblivious to what was happening. Lee Se-won did not resist as he started the car and started demonstrating his skills...

The entire production crew cheered. Meanwhile, only Tiffany, Se-ra, Gu Heng and Lee Se-won knew that there was something wrong with the brakes...

It's not that Lee Se-won wasn't afraid. He simply didn't expect Tiffany to be so ruthless. However, he could never admit to the production crew that he had tampered with the car, unless he was willing to give up his identity as an actor.

So, he decided to take a gamble...

_"Director Wei, something doesn't seem right. It looks like Se-won can't stop the car. His been continuously driving around in circles for quite some time," a staff member noticed, so he immediately pointed it out to Wei An.

Wei An's expression changed as he ordered, "Hurry and investigate what's happening..."

Lee Se-won was sitting in the car. But, all he could do was drive around in circles. Although the speed of the car had already decreased, there was still a terrified look on his face.

_"Se-won, jump! Jump out of the car..."

Lee Se-won felt his head spinning as he swerved the car into a safety barrier. The car was immediately shrouded by a blanket of smoke. As it faded, everyone ran anxiously towards him. Luckily, apart from a bit of shock, Lee Se-won did not receive any major injuries.

It turned out - this car was also low on fuel...

Gu Heng immediately ran to Lee Se-won's side without caring what others would think and tried to help him out, "Are you OK?"

"I'm fine," Lee Se-won replied after a short delay.

However, he did not notice that his back had subconsciously become soaked in sweat...

He had created this danger himself, but Tiffany used it to ruthlessly teach him a lesson.

Because only now did he realize that the car had been tampered with for the second time. Even though it had fuel, it was destined to stop on its own.

"What's wrong with the car?" Wei An hurried over and asked. "Is Lee Se-won hurt?"

Lee Se-won shook his head, "I'm fine. The brakes just suddenly stopped working..."

"Who's in charge? I want you to immediately do a thorough investigation!" Wei An yelled angrily at the crew. "Luckily Se-won is a good driver. If it was Tiffany, what would have happened?"

Wei An's words hammered down onto Gu Heng and Lee Se-won's hearts. One of them witnessed the incident, while the other experienced it first-hand. No one would understand the fear of death better than them.

"Everything's fine, as long as he's fine," Gu Heng said guiltily.

"No, this won't do. He needs to get examined at the hospital. We should postpone today's shoot." Although Wei An was strict, he cared about his actors. In order not to effect their performance, he took extra notice of their physical and mental status.

"Thank you, Director Wei." After thanking the director, Lee Se-won left the set with the support of Gu Heng. As they passed by Tiffany, Gu Heng whispered, "I give up against you, Tiffany. After this incident, I hope our grudges can be forgotten."

Tiffany remained calm as she slightly lifted her chin, "I've said it before: I won't attack those that don't attack me first."

Lee Se-won had a good look at Tiffany before he left with Gu Heng. After they left, Wei An ran over to Tiffany to offer comfort, "Did the incident frighten you?"

Tiffany shook her head, "I'm fine."

"That's good. Tiffany, you were very fortunate," Wei An said briefly before heturned and left...

His words seemed to contain a deeper meaning.

After he left, Tiffany pulled out her phone and gave Taeyeon a phone call, "Everything went smoothly."

"Turn around..." Taeyeon's voice was gentle.

Tiffany held onto her phone as sehe turned around and spotted Taeyeon's car parked on the side of the road. She immediately ran over. As soon as she boarded the car, Taeyeon wrapped her in his arms, "It's all over now. I'm here."

Tiffany held tightly to Taeyeon's waist. Today's incident had been rough on her. If she had not discovered something was wrong early on, today she may have ended up on the news headlines...

"You don't think I was too ruthless?" Tiffany questioned.

"If you hadn't requested to resolve it yourself, I would have been more ruthless than you..." Taeyeon's eyes darkened as it emanated with coldness.

...

En route back to the hotel, Wei An sat in his car with Elder Kim. The two men looked at each other like two cunning foxes.

"Your family's Tiffany is not a simple woman," Wei An said to Elder Kim. "Initially, I simply had my suspicions. But seeing how Gu Heng ran anxiously to Lee Se-won's side, I finally discovered what was happening."

"Those two were obviously scheming against Tiffany..."

"But she firmly forced Lee Se-won onto the tampered car. He was certainly taught a difficult lesson."

"I was wondering why she wanted to film this scene in advance. It turns out...I can't underestimate her."

"Her method barely passed," Elder Kim scoffed. Of course, since he was Taeyeon's grandfather, he naturally thought in the same way.

This world was fair and just, so some people deserved to be punished.

The lesson Tiffany taught Lee Se-won wasn't bad, but if it was up to him, he would be like Taeyeon and do something even more ruthless.

However, Tiffany still passed in his eyes. At least she wasn't like Gu Heng, who only knew how to panic and cry when something went wrong. Although Elder Kim didn't want to admit it, Tiffany had won a lot of brownie points from him.

"She still has a long road ahead. Just wait and see old man. Your granddaughter-in-law is just like you. Simply looking at the way she dealt with Lee Se-won in such a slick manner has made me convinced by her," Wei An smiled. It was common to see underhanded schemes and unwritten rules pop up on set. But he never imagined Tiffany would be able to neutralize the evilness.

She was indeed Taeyeon's wife. The couple both knew how to defeat ruthlessness with ruthlessness.

"We'll talk again once she gets past me," Elder Kim scoffed again. If she wanted to be Taeyeon's wife, there was more she needed to show.

Elder Kim did not expect his granddaughter-in-law to be highly educated nor have a strong family background. He simply wanted her to be on the same page as the rest of the Kim Family.

If the way she thought and her morals were not in line with theirs, he'd feel like he had given away his grandson for nothing.

So he still needed to analyze Tiffany carefully.

"You should stop being so strict. After what happened today, I hope Lee Se-won will learn some self-control. I'm assuming he was pretty badly frightened; his face was pale when he stepped out of the car," Wei An was quite satisfied at the thought.

Tiffany obviously didn't want to take away his life, so she made sufficient preparations. But, in the end, her method was certainly ruthless.

Was she always this ruthless? Or did she learn from Taeyeon?

"Se-won, from now on, don't challenge Tiffany again. She's not as easy to go up against as we thought," Gu Heng persuaded as she sat at the foot of Lee Se-won's hospital bed.

"I've already looked into it. From the time she announced her comeback as a model to becoming an actress, her every move has been flawless. She has received endless praise and did not merely rely on Taeyeon."

Lee Se-won remained silent. Perhaps it was because he had not withdrawn from the thrills of earlier.

Only now did he understand how it felt to be scared...

"Let's just focus on filming and leave her alone, OK?"

Lee Se-won hesitated for a moment, but ended up nodding his head.

After Lee Se-won agreed, Gu Heng finally let out a sigh of relief. She was seriously afraid of Tiffany's meticulous nature. In fact, she had no idea how Tiffany found out about their plan and if she knew anything else. Tiffany was certainly terrifying.

...

The next morning. As soon as Lee Se-won and Gu Heng arrived on set, Wei An immediately approached them, "Is everything OK?"

"I'm fine. It was only a little bit of shock," Lee Se-won replied calmly.

Tiffany also approached, but she did not say anything to expose or humiliate them. She simply pretended like nothing had happened.

So, as soon as filming ended that day, Gu Heng looked for Tiffany and asked, "Why didn't you just destroy us? You obviously had the chance to get us replaced..."

Tiffany looked at Gu Heng and smiled, "I expressed my intent from the start: I will not initiate an attack on anyone. Since the incident yesterday is already in the past, then in my heart it has passed. There's no need to bring it up again."

"The two of you may have had bad intentions, but I did not respond kindly either, so I have no right to send you away."

"Above all, Wei An selected the cast for this film. So, he definitely had his reasons. For the sake of the film, I won't do anything else."

"I'm sure you both know why I was so ruthless yesterday. But, there won't be a next time."

"Our job is to complete this film to the best of our abilities..."

"Plus, a couple's relationship should not be influenced by outside forces. It should simply depend on your heart."

"Don't try to provoke me again. For the sake of my own safety, I could do anything."

After speaking, Tiffany left with Se-ra, leaving Gu Heng all alone trembling in fear. Only now did she finally realize the huge difference between herself and Tiffany.

She had never imagined there was a woman like Tiffany in the entertainment industry: a woman that drew a fine line between love and hate.

At this point, she could only approve of Tiffany's methods, stance and pretty much everything about her...

...

When Tiffany said she wasn't going to mention the past, it was like she completely wiped it from her memory. She would never refer to it, humiliate them about it, nor remind them of it.

This made Gu Heng's admiration for her increase once again. How many people stood on the moral high ground while bullying others? Yet, Tiffany did not care about doing this.

The dangerous car scene ended up being filmed 2 days later. However, this time, Lee Se-won gave a serious demonstration and Tiffany studied it seriously. Although a few mistakes were made, the dangerous scene was eventually completed successfully after everyone's hard work.

During filming, Tiffany's head was hit quite a few times and she emptied her stomach quite a few times from nausea. But after 5 minutes of rest, her energy would be restored and she'd start again.

From that day onwards, Lee Se-won's attitude towards Tiffany also changed.

Some people were born with more talent than others. So if they also put in more effort, it would be no surprise that they'd secure the best resources.

A little while later, Gu Heng decided to look at Tiffany's audition video. In the end, she turned to Lee Se-won and told him she was happy to accept her role as a supporting character for Tiffany.

"Fany Unnie, it's almost President Kim's birthday. What do you plan on getting him? Do you want me to go buy it for you?" Se-ra asked during one of Tiffany's breaks. She assumed Tiffany was too occupied with filming to find time.

Tiffany thought for a moment and shook her head, "I'll prepare it myself..."

"But, you don't have time..."

"What he wants, can't be bought," Tiffany smiled as she looked at Se-ra. "The next scene is about to start. I'm going to go get ready."

Se-ra watched as Tiffany walked off and nodded her head in agreement. Taeyeon already had everything, so nothing would make him feel pleasantly surprised...

However, 2 days before Taeyeon's birthday, Wei An notified Tiffany that a VIP would be joining the cast. Although he was only making a guest appearance, everyone was requested to 'cooperate' with him.

At first, Tiffany did not understand what Wei An meant by
