This is the last one of today 😂
*******

"When grandfather was in charge, Hwang Corps grew steadily. So, under grandfather's protection, you were allowed to stay in a position of power. But, if you were to say that you dedicated yourself to the company, then what contribution did you make? Can you give us an example?"

"On the contrary, during the time that you were CEO of Hwang Corps, the company's shares continuously plummeted and the family was surrounded by scandals. It was my mother, Boah, that led the business back onto the right path."

"Hard work is not equivalent to good work. The auntie that cleans the office is also dedicated to her work, does that mean we should let her be the CEO?"

"To put it simply - you are hopeless!" Tiffany pointed out Hwang Na-ri's flaws with one strike.

"I've never studied management and I come from a modeling background, yet grandfather put his hope on a complete outsider like me. It's obvious to see that all you have done over the years is not enough to gain trust from the head of the family."

Outsider...

The guests once again felt shame on behalf of Hwang Na-ri.

If Tiffany was considered an outsider...then there weren't many people in this world that could be considered as truly skilled.

"How are you going to refute against this?"

Hwang Na-ri wasn't willing to admit defeat, but...there wasn't​ anything she could say.

Even when she searched through her memory in detail, she indeed could not find a single example for when she had made a contribution.

"You relied on grandfather's protection to get through each day, whereas, I used my abilities to save Hwang Corps from a crisis. No matter how I look at it, this position does not belong to you."

"You...you're talking rubbish!"

"Hwang Na-ri, even you're doubting yourself," Tiffany smirked.

"Hwang Corps has been through so much whilst upholding a responsible attitude towards its business and consumers. When met with something unsuitable for the company, we need to get rid of it as soon as possible. This is something that grandfather has always believed in."

"That's why we hold a new product launch every single year..."

"Hwang Na-ri, people have self-awareness. We should deal with our own private matters in private. Today is a big day for Hwang Corps. I'm sure the guests are here to see our new perfume and not to see you..."

Everyone laughed.

The topic of discussion was easily diverted by Tiffany back to the main theme of the event, saving the situation. Taeyeon reacted quickly by gesturing for Minho to remove Hwang Na-ri from the audience and the atmosphere quickly returned to normal.

"Sorry for making everyone witness a joke."

Tiffany apologetically bowed to everyone. She was like a different person to the intimidating Tiffany just a moment ago.

She understood the weight of a matter and when to advance and retreat. So, everything she did today, received praise from the guests.

If someone still suspected that Tiffany relied on Taeyeon to handle a crisis, then after this incident, they were completely convinced by Tiffany's high EQ. She managed to twist an argument and divert everyone's attention to the introduction of their new perfume.

She suppressed Hwang Na-ri fair and square and destroyed her dreams, while promoting the professionalism of Hwang Corps. This was her way of acting responsibly towards everyone.

"As everyone can see, Hwang Corps' perfume appeared in front of everyone after many difficulties. In the end, we used a strict approach to place the finished product in front of all of you."

"When faced with problems, we always resolve it quickly."

"Let's welcome the newest addition to the Hwang Corps collection!"

In the end, Tiffany faced the guests in her most elegant state. At this moment, she wasn't a model nor an actress, she was merely the CEO of Hwang Corps; the Tiffany that took her work seriously...

...

Above and below the stage, Elder Hwang and Bora both took a deep breath. Neither of them expected that the Product Launch would be able to resume as normal, but Tiffany managed to make it happen. She saved Hwang Corps once again...

Meanwhile, Hwang Na-ri was desperately trying to free herself from Minho's restraint as he dragged her out of the hotel. However, there was no use.

"Brother , let me go."

"Let you go so you can go back there and continue to embarrass Hwang Corps?" Minho asked. "I'm sure you know that Fany Noona went easy on you today. If she revealed all the dirty things you've done, did you think you could still remain in Seoul?"

Hwang Na-ri looked at Minho and sneered, "I'm your actual sister...yet, how are you treating me?"

"You've finally remembered that you're my sister?" Minho sneered back. "Since we were young, when have you ever upheld your responsibilty as an older sister?"

"Whether it was when I was small or now, whenever I faced difficulties, the person to step out and shield me has always been Fany Noona, not you..."

"What right do you have to request for me to treat you sincerely?"

Hwang Na-ri was rendered speechless.

"Don't you know what a failure you are as a person? Don't even dream about taking over Hwang Corps anymore, focus on your child instead. At least, for the sake of your child, grandfather can still provide you with a roof over your head. Otherwise, who do you think you are?" After speaking, Minho released his grip on Hwang Na-ri's wrist, shoved his right hand in his pocket and turned to leave the quiet corridor, leaving Hwang Na-ri all alone to face the long red carpet in a daze.

At this moment, Hwang Na-ri couldn't explain her emotions. She simply felt a burning at the back of her throat.

Was she destined for failure?

She still had a Hwang Family descendent in her stomach, so she wasn't completely empty-handed! She wasn't willing to accept anything that Tiffany had said that night because she was the eldest.

No one was allowed to destroy all the effort she had put in - not even Tiffany.

...

In the end, Hwang Corps' Product Launch ran smoothly. As for the tricks that Lin Shaoyuan wanted to play, he didn't get a chance to play them because Hwang Na-ri was an idiot with a pig's brain.

If she had been a little less hopeless and endured for a little more, she would not be in her current predicament.

By expressing her displeasure at the Product Launch, she was pretty much telling everyone that she couldn't continue staying in Hwang Corps.

More importantly, Tiffany's words clearly told everyone that Hwang Na-ri had no ability to lead Hwang Corps...

She had practically closed the door on Hwang Na-ri's dream to seize control of the company.

So, what use did Lin Shaoyuan still have for Hwang Na-ri? All she had left was the child in her stomach...

After what happened, Lin Shaoyuan grew interested in Tiffany. He refused to believe that a woman could be so powerful that even a man would have to bow down before her.

But, that was because he had never experienced the methods of the man behind her.

Of course, the game wasn't over yet for Tiffany. The show today was merely to prevent Hwang Na-ri from ever entering Hwang Corps again...

After what happened, Elder Hwang could finally let out a sigh of relief.

At the same time, he couldn't help but praise Tiffany. She wasn't just the average kind of powerful person...

If she could continue to be in charge of Hwang Corps, how good would it be?

Too bad, all Tiffany was currently thinking about, was how to make Hwang Na-ri pay back for what she had done to Boah.

After Hwang Corps' Annual Product Launch, the new perfume produced by Hwang Corps became a hot selling product.

It seemed, the commotion caused on the night, was not enough to effect the operations of the company. In fact, it allowed the consumers to see the strict approach of Hwang Corps' management as well as their intent. Most importantly, they witnessed Tiffany's capability.

After Tiffany gave Hwang Corps a cleanse, investors and clients felt a lot more confident in the company. At the same time, the shareholders were given an indirect warning: the Hwang Family wasn't useless!

Meanwhile, Boah's secretary wanted to take advantage of the messy situation to make her escape.

In reality, from the time she returned from Switzerland she had continuously been in a frightened state. She originally thought that their plan was a success, but who would have thought that Tiffany would end up taking the position of Acting CEO.

She knew that Tiffany was extremely capable, so she didn't dare to stay in Hwang Corps for much longer. She secretly got news of the situation in Hwang Corps and waited for the moment when she thought Tiffany had her guard down to leave Seoul. Unfortunately...

...her every move was within Taeyeon's grasp. As soon as she stepped foot into the airport, Taeyeon's people immediately took her away.

In an instant, she was delivered to the CEO's office of Hwang Corps. As she looked at Tiffany, she guiltily took a few steps back, but was stopped by the security guards behind her.

"What are you trying to do? Tiffany, what you've done is illegal."

"Illegal?" Tiffany lifted her head and looked at the secretary with a slight coldness. "Did you think of the legalities when you schemed against my mother?"

The secretary trembled as her hands began to sweat, "President Kwon was kidnapped by criminals...What has that got to do with me?"

"Then why didn't they kidnap you as well?" Tiffany asked back. "Secretary Gao, we are both understanding people, so let's not go around in circles. Since I knew your every move, it's obvious that everything that you and Hwang Na-ri have done, has been under my observation..."

"Even if you don't tell me what happened, I can investigate the truth. But, I'm afraid that won't be very beneficial to you."

"Of course, it simply means I need to do a bit of extra work. So, I'll leave that for you to decide."

After speaking, Tiffany lowered her head and continued working. But, the less noise that Tiffany made, the more Secretary Gao trembled in fear. She was well aware that the woman in front of her wasn't Hwang Na-ri. She wasn't the Big Miss that could be easily fooled into giving her money.

"I will only give you one minute."

Secretary Gao swallowed nervously as she clasped her hands together. After struggling with her thoughts for a while, she finally gave up, "I'll tell you everything. But, you need to promise me that you won't send me to the police."

"I can do that, but you need to do something for me."

Hwang Na-ri continued to live in the Hwang Household; apart from this place, she had nowhere else to go. After all, Elder Hwang had previously proclaimed that no matter what mistakes she made, she was still the Big Miss of the Hwang Family and this would forever be her home. In reality, he merely said this to keep her grounded and not to cause anymore troubles in case she hurt the child in her stomach.

That night, light snowfall fell upon Seoul.

Elder Hwang instructed his housekeeper to prepare a big feast as Tiffany would be hosting a dinner at their house.

It had been a long time since Tiffany had last returned to the Hwang Household, so Elder Hwang joyously made preparations. But, while the household was filled with glee, Hwang Na-ri was the only one that felt like she was trapped inside a torturous cage.

It didn't take long before the guests invited by Tiffany, began to arrive. The shareholders originally thought that the Hwang Family were treating them to a new year dinner in advance.

But, as the elders sat down around the dinner table, they looked at each other and felt something wasn't quite right.

"Chairman, the Third Miss invited us here for dinner, but why isn't she here yet?"

Elder Hwang touched his walking stick with a joyous smile, "She's on her way. The weather is cold and the roads are slippery, so I told her to be careful."

Bora and Minho huddled together to chat, treating Hwang Na-ri like she was on another planet. Meanwhile, Hwang Na-ri supported her back as she sat in her seat looking down at her protruding belly...

At this time, the housekeeper approached and whispered to Elder Hwang, "Chairman, the Third Miss and Third Master are here."

Afterwards, everyone looked towards the entrance and watched as Taeyeon walked in with his arm around Tiffany. The couple had a suppressing and dignified presence, like the human equivalents of a Dragon and Phoenix with a unique aura.

"Sorry for making everyone wait."

"Hurry, the food's ready..." Elder Hwang said as he pointed to the two seats beside him.

Tiffany smiled as Taeyeon's eyes deepened. Of course, he was merely here to serve as a backdrop for Tiffany, but this backdrop was much too striking and hard to ignore.

"I've invited you all here today to serve as an apology for any disrespect I may have shown over the past few days," Tiffany said as she lifted her teacup. "I shall toast you with tea in instead of wine as a token of goodwill."

"Child, you sure are made for the business world. You've never studied management, but you know the tricks to being a good leader; you know the balance between justice and mercy," one of the shareholders praised.

Although the other shareholders weren't completely convinced by Tiffany, they couldn't express their true thoughts at a time like this, so they simply smiled.

"Thank you for your praise. When it comes to management, I am just a rookie. However, I have invited you here today not just to apologize but also because I have another matter to deal with in front of everyone."

"Third Miss, if you have something to say, please go ahead."

After hearing these words, Tiffany lifted her head and looked at Hwang Na-ri.

Hwang Na-ri responded with a mocking smile, "In what way have I upset you this time? Are you going to do something to me again?"

"Tiffany, I never thought you'd cling onto a sewer rat and not let go," to emphasize her pitiful state, Hwang Na-ri squeaked like a rat, "Speak, what is it this time?"

"I've heard news about my mother," Tiffany said calmly.

Hwang Na-ri's expression changed in an instant.

"Although we haven't located her just yet...I think the Big Miss can explain the situation to all of us."

"What does the Third Miss mean by this?" one of the shareholders asked. "What does President Kwon's kidnapping have to do with the Big Miss?"

Hwang Na-ri's face was stiff, but she wasn't willing to admit defeat, "Tiffany, I know I'm a failure, but don't implicate me with every single issue. Boah went missing because she was down on her luck, what has that got to do with me?"

"I knew you wouldn't admit it," Tiffany revealed a mocking smile. "I also know that all those seated here today had previously caused a lot of trouble and difficulty for my mother, so I've gathered you all here today to lay the cards on the table."

With Tiffany's words, everyone finally realized that they weren't merely here for a dinner. They had been lured into a fatal trap!

And Tiffany's motive was simple: she was going to make them pay!

"Hwang Na-ri, think it over carefully. If you leave this issue for me to expose...your child may have to grow up in jail."

Hwang Na-ri was forced into a panic as she slammed her hands on the table and stood up, "Don't go too far! I already have nothing left. What do you want to do to me?"

"I don't want to do anything to you, I simply want you to tell the truth," Tiffany remained calm. "Why is it so difficult to get the truth from you?"

"I don't know what you're talking about," Hwang Na-ri denied without considering the circ.u.mstances at all. At this time, one of the shareholders couldn't mind his own business and started criticizing Tiffany.

"Third Miss, I know you currently hold a lot of power in your hands, but you don't need to force a pregnant lady into a dead end. I believe, no matter how bad she is, she would never have the guts to play with someone's life."

"But you're right, my intention is to force her into a dead end," Tiffany admitted straightforwardly. "This has nothing to do with whether she is pregnant or not."

"Because to me, she can not be considered human..."

The disgust in Tiffany's eyes were obvious. She did not hide her hatred for Hwang Na-ri whatsoever.

"Forget it, even if you do admit to your wrongdoings, I wouldn't be used to it anyway." After speaking, Tiffany signalled to the doorway by clapping her hands.

Secretary Gao was seen quivering as she stumbled into the dining room. "Secretary Gao, I'll let you explain everything."

As soon as Hwang Na-ri realized the truth was about to be exposed, she immediately yelled at Secretary Gao, "If you dare to say a word, I'll get someone to cut your tongue off!"

Hearing this threat, everyone was shocked...

Her response made it seem like she had something to hide.

But, Secretary Gao wasn't someone who couldn't determine the seriousness of the situation. Tiffany had complete control over her fate, so she of course listened to Tiffany,

"The truth is, President Kwon wasn't actually kidnapped by criminals. She was taken away by people that the Big Miss had paid and I'm not sure whether she's currently dear or alive."

"The Big Miss wanted the position of CEO. She thought that if she got rid of President Kwon, then her wish would come true. But she never expected..."

"You're lying!" Hwang Na-ri yelled angrily, "Tiffany must have paid you to say this."

"Big Miss, it's best you stop denying. I have plenty of evidence in my hands. You won't be able to get away with it."

Hwang Na-ri's eyes grew big. Her reddened eyes couldn't hide her fears and emotions, "I didn't do it...This wench is framing me..."

However, at this moment, no one trusted Hwang Na-ri's words anymore.

Bora hated seeing her family fight, so she stood up to leave. After she was gone, Minho took the opportunity to shuffle over next to Tiffany, just in case Hwang Na-ri wanted to do something extreme. After all, she had a history of playing tricks.

"Tiffany, will you not settle until I die?"

"Didn't I tell you before that it was just the start? This does not compare even a thousandth of what you have done to me in the past," Tiffany said coldly before pulling out Secretary Gao's phone.

"This phone has a record of all the calls you made to Secretary Gao and includes evidence of how you planned the entire incident. I even got the names of a few other people who were involved. Do you want me to report it to the police?"

Hwang Na-ri wanted to argue back, but no words came out.

"Big Miss, just admit defeat. Otherwise, both of us will have to go to jail."

"President Know isn't around anymore. This could be considered as murder. Think it over carefully..."

Hwang Na-ri didn't say a word as she clenched her fists.

Meanwhile, Tiffany had no intention to continue waiting, so she directly pulled out her phone and called the police.

Secretary Gao was so frightened that her entire body trembled. All she could do was plead Hwang Na-ri, "Big Miss, Big Miss...please."

At first, Hwang Na-ri did not budge. But, just as the phone was about to
