appears tough on the surface. All you can do is make a few sounds, but in reality, you are helpless around me."

"Really?" Tiffany watched as President Fan's face began to turn red and said mockingly, "Are you sure you don't want to put out the fire burning inside of you?"

President Fan's strength slowly faded and his body felt especially weak. A moment later, he quickly realized what had happened. When had he been drugged?

Even at this point, he did not suspect Lin Weisen at all.

A moment later, President Fan fell to the floor, tore off his clothes and moaned uncontrollably. He was in a worse off state than Xia Hanmo earlier. 

After all, he wasn't as pretty as Xia Hanmo and did not have a good body like hers. So, to see a man like him lying half naked on the floor, simply looked gross and sleazy.

"Oh God, what's happening now?"

"Isn't this President Fan? Did he also get...?!"

President Fan lay on the floor with his clothes torn into a mess. But, worst of all, he began to grab onto whatever woman he could find, pressed himself up against them and tried to take advantage of them.

"Hey, look, something appears to have fallen out of President Fan's pants..."

"Is this the drug that was mentioned earlier?" a person guessed after reading the packaging for the medicine.

"This is obviously that drug...Does that mean the person that drugged Xia Hanmo was President Fan? Did he accidentally consume the drug that he brought himself? If that's the case, then that's really embarrassing."

President Fan's face turned red as he rolled around on the floor. Eventually, Lin Weisen couldn't watch him any longer, so he called the security to remove him from the premises.

At this time, Xia Hanmo stepped out and said to everyone, "I don't even know President Fan. He may not have drugged me on purpose. It doesn't seem nice to kick him out. After all, it's meant to be Editor Lin's wedding. Perhaps, someone should wake him up with some icy water as well."

All the guests didn't want to miss out on the show, so they immediately pulled out their phones to record the scene; even though it was a repulsive sight.

Lin Weisen felt that Xia Hanmo made a reasonable point, so he asked someone to bring him a tub of icy water. Originally, he was going to wipe down President Fan's face with the water, but Xia Hanmo suddenly grabbed the tub and poured it all over the man...

She obviously did it on purpose!

"Hurry! Someone come and help President Fan up," Lin Weisen yelled at the security guards. "Deliver President Fan safely home."

President Fan woke up a little from the shock of the icy cold water and stood up with help of the security guards. He then trembled as he pointed to Xia Hanmo, "You...you will definitely pay for what you've done today!"

Xia Hanmo didn't buckle, "I'll be waiting."

Tiffany looked at the two and shook her head. After President Fan was sent away, she turned and said to Xia Hanmo, "This is my problem to deal with, I don't want you to get involved. Who do you think you are?"

Xia Hanmo was surprised.

"You are no longer related to Superstar Media, stop butting your nose into mine and Seohyun's matters."

"This jerk isn't someone you can afford to offend. Remember, the next time you see him, stay as far away from him as possible...This has nothing to do with you."

"It seems like you enjoyed the revenge you got already. In that case, there's no need for you to sit next to me anymore."

Xia Hanmo did not say a word as she quietly returned to her original seat.

She knew that things would never return to how they used to be, no matter what she said or did. She had already been kicked out of Superstar Media.

"Tae, you need to keep an eye on President Fan in case he seeks revenge on Xia Hanmo."

Taeyeon nodded as he stood behind Tiffany, "Don't worry, I'll tell Sooyoung to make arrangements as soon as we arrive home."

"Although she's no longer a part of Superstar Media, I still don't want to see anything happen to her."

Taeyeon naturally understood what Tiffany was thinking. After all, they had been married for so long. It was obvious that didn't want to implicate Xia Hanmo.

"I simply humiliated that jerk today, but it seems like he's determined to keep fighting."

Taeyeon had nothing to say about this because he already had a secret plan in the works. But, some things needed time.

Soon, the wedding returned to its original peace. After lunch, it was time for the reception.

As she was pregnant, Tiffany obviously couldn't take part in dancing. So, she could only sit to the side with Taeyeon.

As it was a gathering of artists, many of the guests could sing and dance.

In particular, Lin Weisen's bride was capable of all styles of dance, just like Lin Weisen had said earlier. She was extremely talented.

"Are you really planning to sign that young woman with Superstar Media?"

"Didn't you hear it? Lin Weisen personally asked me. How could I reject him?" Tiffany replied. "You also saw her spectacular dance performance just a moment ago. They were obviously putting on a show for me so I could make her famous."

"I understand that you need to return Lin Weisen's favor. But, I also know that you don't like that woman."

"Mr. Kim, are you perhaps a worm in my stomach?" Tiffany giggled. "How do you know everything I'm thinking?"

Taeyeon pinched Tiffany on the tip of her nose. Some things were obvious.

At this time, Tiffany scanned her surroundings and noticed that Xia Hanmo was nowhere to be seen. She originally thought that she had left early because she had work to do, but, she had no idea that Xia Hanmo had been lured somewhere.

The outdoor wedding was lively as it filled with song and dance. But, just as everyone was happy and excited, a shrill scream suddenly resounded from somewhere.

Afterwards, a loud plonk was heard as a person fell from up above onto the grass. Someone immediately identified the person.

"It's Xia Hanmo...it's Xia Hanmo!"

As soon as she heard Xia Hanmo's name, Tiffany immediately stood up with Taeyeon's help and made her way through the crowd. Slowly, Xia Hanmo came into view. She was lying on the floor with blood all over her mouth and nose. Tiffany immediately knelt down beside her.

"Hanmo..."

Xia Hanmo twitched as she pointed her finger upwards, "The fifth floor...fifth floor..."

Tiffany understood that she had fallen from the fifth floor.

Meanwhile, behind her, Taeyeon was already phoning the police and ambulance.

"Tiffany...President Fan...is on the fifth floor. He...pushed...me!"

Wasn't President Fan sent home? Besides, when did Xia Hanmo go up to the fifth floor of the hotel?

"Fany...everyone has their own ending. I think...this may be the best end for me..." After saying these words, Xia Hanmo gripped tightly to Tiffany's hand, "Do you forgive me? Do...you...forgive..."

"Stop talking. As long as you stay alive, I'll forgive you," Tiffany said as she covered Xia Hanmo's mouth. "As long as you live."

Xia Hanmo was covered in blood as she looked at Tiffany. Hearing her response, she let out a laugh.

But, Tiffany's heart was seriously breaking.

As Xia Hanmo fell unconscious, Tiffany clenched her fists. She had been too merciful with President Fan. She had spoiled him to the point where he hurt her loved ones, one after another.

Taeyeon knew that Tiffany was upset. So, he held onto her hands, "Don't worry, I already have something planned."

"No. I want to personally make his life a living hell."

Soon, the police arrived on the scene, followed by the ambulance. While the police surveyed the scene, Xia Hanmo was sent to the hospital.

Afterwards, Tiffany and Taeyeon also headed to the hospital. For some reason, at that moment, all the grudges they previously had, were completely wiped away.

Xia Hanmo was wrong, but what about Tiffany?

Tiffany began to blame herself, especially when she arrived at the hospital and saw 'Emergency' written on the operating theater. But, she simply sat on the seat outside in a terrifyingly calm manner.

However, it didn't take long before Taeyeon noticed some blood stains at the bottom of Tiffany's dress...

The blood that led from between her thighs obviously didn't belong to Xia Hanmo.

"Doctor...doctor!"

As a result, Tiffany was sent to the gynaecology and obstetrics ward and the medical staff quickly ran an exam on her and her baby. As the doctor checked Tiffany's condition, she shook her head, "A pregnant woman should maintain stable emotions. Big fluctuations like this are detrimental to the baby..."

"Mother and child should rest in bed for at least half a month. Moreover, the mother's emotions can't fluctuate too much."

Tiffany woke up and heard the doctor's instructions, but she immediately looked at Taeyeon and asked, "How's Xia Hanmo?"

"She successfully made it past the critical stage," Taeyeon replied as he sat down on the edge of her bed. "From now on, you don't need to concern yourself with anything. Leave everything with me."

"Tae..."

"Listen to me. Otherwise, I will feel really guilty for making you like this."

Tiffany understood how serious Taeyeon was, so she nodded her head.

"From today onwards, go home and get some rest. I will handle everything else."

Tiffany could tell that President Kim was angry...

In fact, he was very very angry...

"Tae...don't let that jerk go," Tiffany pleaded as she held onto Taeyeon's hand.

"As you wish," Taeyeon replied.

Xia Hanmo pulled through the critical stage and was temporarily in a non-life-threatening state. However, she had not woken up yet, so she simply lay quietly in the ICU.

Tiffany was bedridden, so Sunny and Seohyun came to visit her. After hearing about the entire incident, they sighed, "This President Fan has tread over the Boss' bottom line."

"How did Xia Hanmo fall from the hotel? Was it President Fan?"

Tiffany shook her head, gesturing that she didn't quite understand what happened either.

"Fany unnie's already in this state, you should stop asking her questions. If President Kim finds out, I won't be able to save you," Seohyun intervened after seeing Sunny was asking too many questions. "Let Fany unnie get some rest."

Actually, all Tiffany could think about at that moment was Xia Hanmo's bloody image as she begged for forgiveness.

Did she forgive her?

What right did she have to talk about forgiveness?

If Tiffany hadn't been so merciful as to let President Fan have his way, they would not be in their current situation.

"Everyone's currently saying that Xia Hanmo was drugged and then pushed off a building. This was quite a show for the observers."

"You're still on that topic?" Seohyun asked as she pulled out her phone.

As she listened to Seohyun's warning, Sunny nodded her head, "I'm simply being a little nosy. So, has President Kim gone to handle this matter?"

Tiffany nodded her head.

"That President Fan is so despicable. If I was in your position, I wouldn't know how to respond in an equally cruel manner. But, I'm sure the Boss has a way to make him suffer."

To make a person suffer, one had to find out what that person loved the most, what they wanted the most and what they cared about the most.

President Fan loved his daughter, but he didn't have just one daughter. This jerk had a lot of mistresses, so he naturally had a lot of children.

Apart from his ex-wife, these women were all happily willing to be with him. Moreover, they all knew about each other's existence.

So, what fears did this evil man have?

He had one weakness: his older sister!

On the night of Xia Hanmo's incident, President Fan hid inside his older sister's home to avoid rumors. Although he couldn't guarantee that Xia Hanmo would lose her life, what he did was still just as bad. While the police still had no clue that he was involved, he simply pretended like nothing had happened.

But, even if Xia Hanmo was to wake up and accuse him, he already had a way to get away scot-free.

He simply taught a small-time actress a lesson. Was it necessary for everyone to make a fuss about it?

A little later, President Fan checked on Superstar Media and Crown Empire, but there was still no word from them. So, President Fan smirked and said, "Didn't I tell you that the b*tch simply appears tough on the surface, but she's nothing on the inside? Yet, no one believed me."

"I did this to her artist, yet there's nothing she can do in return."

"Brother Two, you can't just stay here forever. You have so many families. Just choose one and go to them," President Fan's sister complained.

"Sis, I only have you now. Grandfather has decided to side with the enemy. If I don't stay here, where else can I go?"

"Fine. I know how you are. You must have caused a huge problem again."

President Fan's sister was a textbook socialite housewife, especially after she married her Crown Empire shareholder husband. But, she particularly doted on her younger brother.

"Sis, I helped brother-in-law get revenge."

While the two were talking, President Fan's brother-in-law returned home. Seeing his wife and President Fan whispering to each other, he approached them questioningly.

"It's almost time, why are you still wasting your breath on him?" the man asked President Fan's sister.

President Fan's sister froze because she had been put in a difficult position, "We are siblings, after all, I'm bound to miss him a little."

"What? Are you guys planning to go somewhere?" President Fan asked as he ate some rice and vegetables.

"Bro, actually....the things that you told me to store for you, I've taken them out of storage and sold them all," his sister replied. She didn't want to tell him this, but she had to in the end.

"What do you mean?" President Fan was still oblivious.

"Didn't you try to kill someone? You won't be able to use this stuff in jail, anyway," President Fan's sister said as she stood up guiltily, "That's why I asked a lawyer to make arrangements."

"No, Sis, what are you trying to say? What did you do?"

"What is she trying to say? Don't you understand? Your sister wants to distance herself from a murderer," his brother-in-law yelled.

"Who are you calling a murderer?" President Fan growled. "My dear brother-in-law, don't forget that we are all in the same boat."

"Who's in the same boat as you?" the man pulled his wife behind him to protect her. "When it comes to scum like you, your sister and I will be distancing ourselves as far as possible."

"Are you trying to get rid of me now that I am no longer of use? Don't you know how well I've treated you guys? How dare you treat me like this?"

"Fine then, can you explain Xia Hanmo's incident to me? President Kim has already contacted me about it. Are you going to deny that you pushed Xia Hanmo off a building?"

After hearing his brother-in-law's words, President Fan finally understood what was happening. So, this was the situation.

"Did Taeyeon bribe you?"

The man couldn't be bothered wasting any more time on President Fan. So, he turned to the door and yelled, "Come in."

A moment later, a few bodyguards entered the villa and grabbed onto President Fan. They then placed a bag on his head and tied him up with rope before they carried him up to the roof of the villa.

"What are you trying to do?"

No one replied to him and he couldn't see a thing either. He simply felt the cold breeze from the outdoors.

"You guys..."

Before he could continue, President Fan was pushed off the roof of the building. He couldn't see a thing. All he felt was his body fall and gain speed as it got closer to the ground.

Although four-storeys wasn't very high, it was still frightening.

However, just as he thought his body would be splattered across the floor and he'd suffer serious injuries, he stopped.

President Fan was so terrified that he almost wet himself...As he got pulled back up, his entire body was trembling.

"What...what are you guys trying to do?"

"We are letting you have a taste of what Xia Hanmo experienced," one of the bodyguards replied. Afterwards, the men led him back to the dining room and removed the bag on his head. At this time, a tall figure stepped into view. It was Taeyeon.

Taeyeon didn't usually like wearing black as it made him look too solemn. But today, he subconsciously put on a black suit like he was attending 'someone's' funeral.

"So it's you. Taeyeon, you played a good trick," President Fan scoffed. He was still recovering from what just happened.

The feeling of almost coming face to face with death was very real.
