Soon came the climax of the ceremony: the best actor/actress award... This time, because Tiffany wasn't around, the remaining four nominees actually felt like they stood a chance...

Especially Feng Jing!

The host introduced the guest presenter as Seohyun turned to look at Feng Jing. Seohyun noticed that her hands were clenched tightly together. From the looks of it, she was extremely anxious.

However, Seohyun peacefully turned around and sneered.

Soon, samples of the nominees' works appeared on the big screen. When footage of Tiffany in 'Survivor' started playing, everyone erupted in a loud applause.

Because, everyone understood that even if Tiffany was no longer acting, her creations still lasted forever and no one would be able to replace her.

It was clear to see that 'Survivor' was impressive and Tiffany's character was full of life.

So, even though the spotlight alternated between the nominees, the winner of the award was eventually the absent Tiffany.

As soon as her photo appeared on the big screen, everyone screamed excitedly before the guest presenter asked for the recipient to come to the stage.

Everyone was confused. Was Tiffany present at the ceremony? But when Seohyun stood up from her seat, everyone immediately understood what was happening: she had sent her assistant to represent her.

How reckless to not appear at such an important event...

Feng Jing watched as Seohyun approached the stage to accept the award she wanted on behalf of someone else.

Seohyun knew that Feng Jing would be upset, but this was exactly what she wanted.

Of course, as a mere representative, Seohyun wasn't there to replace Tiffany. She simply took the trophy from the host, walked over to the microphone and bowed before she explained, 

"I am Tiffany's assistant and I am here to receive this award on behalf of Tiffany. The reason she is absent today is because she is currently expecting and it is a little inconvenient for her to attend. That's right, she's pregnant!"

"Tiffany announced a while ago that she'd be retreating from acting indefinitely, but she is still very thankful that the committee has given her this award. At the moment, she has no intention to return to acting, but she is thankful for everyone's support and concern.

"Lastly, I would like to borrow this stage to express a few thoughts of my own. Initially, I never considered myself as someone within the inner circles of the industry, but a recent piece of news has pulled me into the spotlight and messed up my peaceful life."

"I am referring to news about my relationship with Ms. Feng Jing. Since she's also present here today, I would like to take the opportunity to clarify everything."

"We have nothing to do with each other. Whether we are blood related or come from the same strand of genetics, in my heart, I am an orphan and will always be an orphan."

"Besides, I am simply someone that works behind-the-scenes. I have no intention to create hype nor debut myself as an artist. I am a part of Superstar Media and Crown Empire and will forever follow Tiffany. So, I hope that all the rumors can now come to an end. Thank you."

Seohyun's words were clearly telling everyone that she would never acknowledge her mother-daughter relationship with Feng Jing.

If she had simply said these words to Feng Jing one-on-one, she wouldn't have taken it to heart, but the fact that Seohyun announced it in front of everyone meant that there was no chance that she would return to her side.

So, Feng Jing was furious.

Not only had Seohyun taken away the award that she wanted, she even announced in front of everyone that she wouldn't acknowledge her as her mother.

This humiliation felt like a thousand arrows to the heart!

After speaking, Seohyun held onto the trophy and stepped off the stage, leaving everyone else in an air of awkwardness. After all, Feng Jing was right there.

Did Seohyun just slap her own mother in the face?

However, there were also a lot of people that understood Seohyun. After all, plenty of people knew the disgusting things that Feng Jing had done to get to where she was today, so as a part of Superstar Media, it was only normal for Seohyun to not acknowledge her because the people at Superstar Media had strong moral principles.

"Actually, everyone has the right to make their own decisions as long as they are willing to take the responsibility. So, we would like to wish Miss Lin all the best," the host summarized before he continued to present the next award. But, this meant nothing to Seohyun and Feng Jing anymore.

After returning to her seat, Luo Sheng tilted his head and said, "You were really cool on stage just a moment ago."

After speaking, Luo Sheng raised a thumb at her.

"I bet that woman is going mad."

Seohyun turned her head slightly and looked into the near distance. She was extremely pleased with the current situation because this was exactly what she wanted: she didn't want Feng Jing to feel good.

In the end, the ultimate climax of the ceremony turned out to be Seohyun's appearance on the stage on behalf of Tiffany. Because her seemingly simple words, contained too much meaning.

At least, it could be concluded that Seohyun and Feng Jing's relationship was full of drama.

After two whole hours, the ceremony finally came to an end. Of course, the cast and crew of 'Survivor' were the biggest winners, going home with Best Actress, Best Director, Best Original Screenplay and many other big awards.

As for Tiffany, her award this time meant that she held onto her position from last year.

This was proof of her capabilities! There was no doubt about it!

Afterwards, Luo Sheng and Seohyun left the venue together. However, they were stopped by Feng Jing half way.

"Miss Lin, don't you think your actions tonight were a bit harsh?" Feng Jing asked as she glanced the trophy in Seohyun's hands. "Even if you don't acknowledge me, I still gave birth to you. You can't get rid of the fact that we are blood related, so did you have to be so heartless?"

After hearing Feng Jing's emotional words, Seohyun remained calm and looked at Luo Sheng, "Let's go..."

Feng Jing grabbed onto her hand to stop her, but Luo Sheng quickly pushed her away, "Show some respect and keep your hands off of her. You have no right to lay a hand on anyone at Superstar Media."

Feng Jing regained her footing and tried to maintain her image, "Young man, control your temper..."

Seohyun and Luo Sheng completely ignored her as they turned and left like she didn't exist.

Only Feng Jing knew how badly Seohyun's words on stage had hurt her.

After all, the public were bound to speculate the reason behind Seohyun's determination to not acknowledge her mother. If Feng Jing was actually as pitiful as she tried to make herself out to be, then Seohyun couldn't possibly hate her to this extent.

"Jing Jie, let's leave first and think of another plan at home," Feng Jing's manager suggested.

"Superstar Media's making things difficult for me..."

After the FT Awards was over, Seohyun's wedding date was officially set. Afraid that another problem would pop up if they delayed it any longer, Mother Lim set the date for three weeks time. She sincerely supported the way that Seohyun treated Feng Jing. Considering the way that she drew a fine line with Feng Jing on national television, it was clear to see that she'd never forgive and acknowledge her.

After being notified of the date, Seohyun simply had one question, "I haven't confirmed if Yoong will be home that day..."

"Silly girl, of course I spoke to Yoong before I made this arrangement. When the time comes, just focus on being a beautiful bride."

"But, we haven't even selected our outfits yet..."

After hearing this, Mother Lim laughed and held onto Seohyun's hands, "Yoong has already arranged for someone to make your outfit. He asked a weapons engineer from the military base to design it for you from scratch and he personally took part in the design process."

"But, he doesn't know my measurements..."

At this point, Mother Lim scanned her eyes across Seohyun's body and chuckled, "Which part of your body do you think he's not familiar with?"

Seohyun's face turned red.

"Seo Seo, we can't possibly understand the pain that you have gone through, so, this wedding is my biggest form of support."

After hearing this, Seohyun wrapped her arms around Mother Lim, "Auntie, thank you. Thank you to both you and Uncle for treating me like your own daughter and being so nice to me."

"You will be my daughter-in-law​ soon. So, protecting you on behalf of Yoong is the only thing we can do..."

After she was done talking, Mother Lim stroked Seohyun's back comfortingly and sighed. This child was indeed kind-hearted and strong.

Seohyun leaned into Mother Lim's arms as though she was in Yoong's arms. At that moment, she reminded herself to stay strong no matter what problems she faced.

...

Seohyun quickly notified Tiffany of her wedding arrangements so she could get some time off work.

More importantly, Tiffany was pregnant and Sunny was managing Luo Sheng, so she had to check who was to take care of Luo Yinghong while she wasn't around.

"Don't worry, go ahead and get married. Also, take the opportunity to enjoy your honeymoon. I will make arrangements for Hong unnie," Tiffany assured before she handed a document to Seohyun, "You have no family, so Superstar Media is your family. We can't let you marry empty-handed."

Seohyun opened up the documents questioningly and realized that it was an agreement for the transfer of Superstar Media's shares.

"Fany unnie, this gift is too expensive...I..."

"You will forever be a part of Superstar Media. With this document, you will be working for Superstar Media for the rest of your life. I actually think I'm the biggest benefactor in all of this. Take it..."

Seohyun held onto the agreement and nodded her head. She knew that there was no point being corny in front of Tiffany.

"I will keep this gratitude in my heart forever," Seohyun said as she pointed to her heart as though she was making an oath.

Tiffany shook her head, gesturing that it wasn't necessary. After all, the two of them were already like family.

And she was simply treating her the way that family should!

...

Soon, Saints Jewelry officially announced their collaboration with Luo Yinghong to the public and confirmed that she'd be their new spokesperson.

As soon as this news was released, everyone was shocked. No one imagined that Luo Yinghong, who was striving to lead a positive lifestyle, would secure an endorsement so quickly, let alone become the spokesperson for the infamous Saints Jewelry.

Originally, this was a collaboration that people had no reason to believe in. But, Tiffany was prepared. She knew that Luo Yinghong was good at handicrafts and deliberately showcased them to the public, so now that the announcement was made, everyone was actually very accepting of it. They all felt that Luo Yinghong was well suited to the idea of originality and creativity.

In particular, when Saints Jewelry decided to place Luo Yinghong's sketches on their website, everyone was certain that she suited the role of spokesperson. They felt that the way she created her new elegant image was similar to the way that Saints Jewelry progressed over time.

Luo Yinghong was in disbelief, how was this possible?

Every single comment left under Saints Jewelry's announcement were words of anticipation. No one insulted her or attacked her.

Luo Yinghong thought back on the training that Tiffany arranged for her and the path that she was instructed to take and discovered that every single step was carefully planned by Tiffany. Everything had its purpose because Tiffany never did pointless things.

At this moment, Luo Yinghong finally understood the meaning of powerful.

Luo Yinghong couldn't believe that she secured such a top grade endorsement. Only after the official announcement from Saints Jewelry did she finally feel that everything was real.

More importantly, this step that she took was in no way crossing paths with Feng Jing. Feng Jing had no reason to scheme against someone that was completely unrelated to her.

Soon thereafter, Tiffany also secured an important interview for her.

To prevent anything unexpected from happening, Tiffany allowed for the reporter to hold the interview inside Superstar Media's office.

The public were curious about Superstar Media, so they were naturally interested in Luo Yinghong's interview.

Meanwhile, Feng Jing saw everything that was happening, but there was nothing she could do because she couldn't find a single flaw related to Luo Yinghong. After all, she was dealing with the flawless Tiffany.

"What should I do? Think of something. Do you expect me to sit here and watch as that b*tch becomes more and more famous?"

As she watched Feng Jing throw a tantrum, Feng Jing's manager approached and tried to comfort her, "Even if she succeeds in making a comeback, she's nothing compared to you. You don't need to worry about her."

"How can I possibly not worry? What if she becomes more famous than me some day? Am I supposed to let her step all over me? No, I can't let this happen!"

"But, what can we possibly do?" her manager sighed helplessly.

Feng Jing lowered her head and thought for a few seconds before she replied, "There's nothing I can do. All I have is that bitch's son."

"Are you saying?"

Feng Jing's gaze turned piercingly sharp.

So far in her battle with Tiffany, all she had been doing was retreating. She was already left with no choice.

So, she pulled her manager over and said, "I have some instructions for you. Immediately find someone to handle it..."

The manager quickly nodded her head, "Yes, I know what to do."

Feng Jing refused to believe that Luo Yinghong could completely disregard her son. She simply spoke in a carefree manner because she wanted to act tough, right?

So, they would have to see if she could hold on to the act.

At this time, Luo Yinghong was looking through the details of her interview at the office when she suddenly received a phone call from her son...

"Mom, save me."

As soon as Luo Yinghong heard this phone call, she jumped out of her seat anxiously and immediately asked for her son's location.

The young man mumbled an address and hung up the phone.

Luo Yinghong quickly looked up the address and discovered that her son was at a famous nightclub.

It was easy to be tricked by others at a place where the good and bad mixed.

With this thought, Luo Yinghong immediately headed for the door. But, she was quickly stopped by Tiffany, "Hong unnie, what happened? Why are you in such a rush?"

"Tiffany, I don't have time to explain things to you. I'm going to pop out really quickly."

"Wait," Tiffany said as she grabbed onto Luo Yinghong. "Hong unnie, you are currently at a critical point in your comeback. I'm sure you know that Feng Jing may play tricks on you at any time. Just give me a quick explanation about what's going on. It won't take up much of your time."

After hearing Tiffany's words, Luo Yinghong suddenly calmed down and held onto Tiffany's hands, "I just received a phone call from my son. He is currently at 'Sound of Night'."

Tiffany immediately instructed her secretary to look up the name and her secretary quickly returned with an answer, "President Hwang, that is the name of a famous nightclub in Korea."

"My son is calling for help."

"If your son is calling for help, there's no point showing up on your own. Besides, Hong unnie, have you thought of the consequences of going there? Whether or not your son is actually there, your reputation is bound to be destroyed. Especially if Feng Jing's abandoned your son. What do you think the rumors would say?"

After hearing this, Luo Yinghong froze. Tiffany was right.

Feng Jing!

Everything could well be Feng Jing's trap!

"Don't be nervous. I'll get my secretary to contact the police and tell them to handle this matter."

Luo Yinghong nodded her head. At this point, she was pretty much certain that Feng Jing planted this trap.

Luo Yinghong slowly calmed down. However, this incident allowed Tiffany to see that Luo Yinghong's son was still the most important thing to her. No matter how many promises she made and how badly she wanted to move forward, Feng Jing simply threw in a small test and Luo Yinghong immediately lost control. It seemed, helping her win back her son was something they had to do soon.

Soon, the police notified them that Luo Yinghong's son was fine and that he was simply drunk and talking nonsense.

After asking him a few questions, they left him to continue drinking.

Luo Yinghong sighed. She was a little frightened by what could have happened. If Feng Jing got her way and actually lured her to the nightclub, what would have happened?

With the same thought, Tiffany suddenly turned around and said to her secretary, "Go to the nightclub right now and find a reliable bartender to take the phone off Luo Yinghong's son and give Feng Jing a phone call. Tell him to warn that Hong unnie's son is in trouble and tell her to hurry over and pick him up. Otherwise, the photos in his phone might get leaked..."

"I understand, President Hwang."

If this was the game that Feng Jing wanted to play, then fine.

"Don't be anxious. As soon as Feng Jing arrives we will take photos of her. We won't expose them. I will have another use for them."

"Yes," the secretary quickly left the office.

Meanwhile, Luo Yinghong had no idea what Tiffany had planned. She simply needed to know that her son was safe. So, she sat back down and returned to work.

Tiffany looked at Luo Yinghong and suddenly felt that, as a mother, she was very pitiful. She had been bullied by Feng Jing for so many years, yet, she had no way of retaliating. Worst of all, Feng Jing had her hands on the sharpest weapon and could pierce it straight through her heart at any time.

So, for Luo Yinghong to truly be free from Feng Jing, it was necessary to strip her of her weapon.

...

Feng Jing had no idea that Tiffany had shuffled the cards.

Nor did she have any idea that Tiffany decided to play along. So, when she received a phone call from the bartender, she initially had no intention of turning up at the nightclub. But, when the bartender mentioned that the idiot had photos of them on his phone, that was a different story.

If the photos were to be exposed, her reputation and image would be completely destroyed.

It wasn't unreasonable for the bartender to ask for some money to keep his mouth shut; Feng Jing could accept it. However, she had one condition: she had to go pick him up herself. After all, the nightclub was a busy and complex place. She didn't trust other people and her manager was currently busy discussing a job.

Soon, Feng Jing arrived at the nightclub as promised. After putting on a careful disguise, it was hard for people to recognize her.

Originally, her plan was to lure Luo Yinghong here and slander her. Who would have thought that she'd be lured here instead and be forced to make an
