"Things aren't going to go the way that you planned," Tiffany gave a gentle laugh as she spoke to Gu Heng without a trace of panic or anger. Seeing this, Gu Heng 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," Tiffany laughed in ridicule. "At least, in my world, I have yet to come across anyone that's done something bad successfully."

Gu Heng could not see through Tiffany, but she knew that Tiffany had already seen through her.

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

"I know Se-won's actions aren't beneficial to any of us. But, I will still give my all to protect him." After speaking, Gu Heng left and Tiffany returned to her room.

It seemed, Gu Heng had not found out that Lee Se-won was getting replaced yet.

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

That night, Sunny 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..." Tiffany explained helplessly before she recapped everything that had happened on set. After hearing the whole story, Sunny 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?" Sunny 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 Tiffany."

"What has the director said about this issue?"

"They are looking for a replacement," Tiffany replied.

"Are they replacing you?"

"They are replacing Lee Se-won," Tiffany laughed at Sunny's high pitched response.

"Good..." Sunny 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."

Tiffany understood that Sunny 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 Taeyeon. 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," Tiffany replied in a cheeky tone.

"Sunny," Taeyeon assumed, "I was only teasing."

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

"I'm prepared for the backlash," Tiffany replied calmly. "Hubby...if Lee Se-won didn't have bad intentions, I would have enjoyed seeing his relationship with Gu Heng. Gu Heng is the type of woman that is willing to do anything for Lee Se-won. I can tell how helpless she must feel."

"I don't enjoy seeing anything, I simply want to destroy those that bully you," Taeyeon replied in seriousness. "Wei An already knows how to handle this matter, so you don't need to do anything. Crown Empire will also deal with everything PR related."

If Lee Se-won wanted to cause a stir, they were going to let him do as he liked.

So, when the media interviewed Lee Se-won, he directly told them that he wasn't sure why Elder Hei kept picking on Tiffany and explained that Tiffany 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 Tiffany was indeed being treated indecently.

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

[Confirmed: Tiffany's been treated indecently!]

[Actor from same cast proves that Tiffany has been treated indecently! What is the future of the 'Taeny' marriage?]

['Taeny' marriage on the rocks. Taeyeon locks himself in office after revelation of incident.]

Facing the aggravated media, Crown Empire stopped trying to suppress the rumor and instead sent Lee Se-won a warning, "The first step to being a good actor is learning how to be an honest person."

This was Crown Empire's method of hinting that Lee Se-won was a liar. In an instant, the public could no longer determine what was true and what was false.

However, Taeyeon and Elder Kim weren't in a hurry. Lee Se-won'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, Wei An was expected to focus on managing the film's PR. After all, the involvement of any indecent act was damaging for the film.

But, Wei An 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 Taeyeon had helped him scout. The man had heard that Wei An would be directing and was excited to open up to the Asian market, so he agreed to see him.

Wei An 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!

Wei An tried to imagine the expression on Lee Se-won's face once Elder Kim's identity was revealed. Just the thought of it was satisfying.

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

Se-ra tried to convince Tiffany to hide out for a bit, but Tiffany 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 Taeyeon backing her up...

If Lee Se-won was to benefit from this incident, not only Taeyeon, but also Wei An would be humiliated.

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

Tiffany 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 Tiffany's confidence, Se-ra felt she no longer had reason to be worried. So, she did as Tiffany instructed and relayed her message to her fans.

After hearing from Se-ra, the fans minds were at ease. Although Tiffany was being torn apart in multiple discussions, the pride that Tiffany brought them, outweighed all this negativity.

They all knew how good Tiffany 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 Lee Se-won to be taught a lesson.

Of course, Lee Se-won 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 Tiffany was rumored to be treated indecently and having a rocky marriage with Taeyeon, 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 Tiffany? Are you? This can't be."

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

"Fany Unnie, that 'Lee Something' seems to be taking things too far," Se-ra decided to stop referring to Lee Se-won with his full name. She was originally indifferent towards him, but now, she was extremely angered.

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

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

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

"What company are you from?" Taeyeon 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, Taeyeon replied without flinching, "Wait for your company to be closed down." After speaking, he hung up the phone and gestured for Se-ra to leave the room.

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

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

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

Tiffany knew that Taeyeon 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. Wei An's plans will not affect you," Taeyeon encouraged. He simply wanted Tiffany to be happy. If he could get revenge her, he was willing to break all rules and overlook all schemes.

"OK," Tiffany nodded, acknowledging Taeyeon's support.

Taeyeon's heart ached as he pulled Tiffany 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."

Tiffany understood Taeyeon'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 Tiffany, Taeyeon walked out of the hotel and instructed Sooyoung, "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," Sooyoung immediately led the way.

Taeyeon followed behind Sooyoung 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 Taeyeon, he frantically ran to hide.

"There's no point hiding," Taeyeon'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 this 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 Taeyeon did not respond, he assumed he knew the answer, "Worried about your wife?"

"How much longer do you want to analyze her?" Taeyeon 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. Taeyeon of course knew the 'right time' that his grandfather was referring to. Since Lee Se-won had blown matters out of proportion and wanted to delay the work of the crew, there was no reason for him to play nice.

Taeyeon 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."

Taeyeon 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 Tiffany's phone number was leaked, the public had another reason to focus on her. So, when Wei An returned on set, Lee Se-won began to make slight hints to him.

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

Wei An looked at Lee Se-won with a slightly amused look, "It's my fault that I didn't discipline my staff properly. That's why both rumors and Tiffany's phone number were leaked at the same time."

"Director Wei, we both know what's going on here. Stop playing game with me," Lee Se-won wanted to get his plan going, so he tried to drag Wei An into it.

This time, Wei An 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," Lee Se-won smirked. Assuming that Wei An also had the intention to replace Tiffany, he decided to stir up the crew one last time.

Wei An understood his expression. So, as soon as Lee Se-won left, Wei An immediately contacted Elder Kim, "It seems like Lee Se-won still has something big up his sleeves."

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

Lee Se-won was, after all, in Wei An's crew. It wouldn't be hard for him to keep track of his whereabouts.

Wei An nodded his head. His mind was completely clear of his path ahead.

Once Lee Se-won made a move, they would be able to collect their trap. Wei An 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," Wei An 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, Taeyeon was in control of Crown Empire. 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 Lee Se-won 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 Crown Empire's PR, filming eventually continued as usual.

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

All this was thanks to the power that Taeyeon had. As a result, Lee Se-won realized, if he didn't make a move soon, the entire incident would eventually be swept under the rug by Crown Empire.

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

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

Although Tiffany 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 Lee Se-won had laid out...

1am, a huge news once again stirred up the entire entertainment industry. The actor, Lee Se-won, 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, Wei An immediately rushed to the hospital.

Meanwhile, Lee Se-won's management agency tried their best to contain the news.

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

"Director Wei, after returning from the set, someone was unexpectedly waiting to ambush Se-won at home. Originally, Se-won'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 Tiffany's phone number."

The manager handed the bloody phone to Wei An.

Wei An furrowed his brows. He suddenly realized what was going on. The 'help' that Lee Se-won 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," Wei An said to Lee Se-won's manager. "But before I find out the truth, don't tell the media anything. After all, this matter does not benefit Se-won."

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

Wei An held back his disgust towards Lee Se-won 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 Crown Empire get away with it!"

After comforting Lee Se-won's manager, Wei An instructed the assistant director and a couple of staff to stay at the hospital.

His intention was for them to keep an eye on Lee Se-won's every move. Afterwards, he contacted Taeyeon and warned him about Lee Se-won's intention to slander Tiffany. He also explained Lee Se-won'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 Lee Se-won would result to doing anything."

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

"Last night, Tiffany
