Ch. 351..355: Fatal Kiss Of The Vampire Chapter 351-355

Chapter 351: As Long As It Isn’t Too Fierce

Lauren collapsed down on the ground in fear.

In order to get a role in a Dangerous World, she had paid a lot of money and effort, but now everything was ruined.

“Please…” Lauren turned to the assistant director like he was her last helping hand. They just had made love last night, and Lauren thought he should help her. “I know I made a terrible mistake, and I promise I’ll ever do it again. Please!”

The assistant director felt embarrassed.

He had to admit that Lauren was really good in bed, but his hands were tied now.

In addition, he wasn’t willing to annoy a rich investor just because of her.

“You made a terrible mistake on your own, and I’m afraid I can’t help. You should apologize to Chairman Parker.” The assistant director gave her a perfunctory answer.

Lauren crawled a step forward. She reached out her hand, wanting to pull the bottom of his pants but drew it back upon thinking what he just had done.

If she touched him again, he probably would dump his pants too.

“Chairman Parker, please forgive me. I’m so sorry.” Lauren cried out, begging him. Seeing that, let alone men, even Kylie’s heart ached for her.

Ethan looked down at her, but still said in a cold voice, “You don’t need to apologize to me.”

Kylie stood aside all the time, but she thought she had to stop the man now.

It wasn’t uncommon that actresses argued with each other, so there was no need to make a mountain out of a molehill.

Didn’t he leave after he put me off? Why did he came back? Kylie thought to herself.

“Chairman Parker, Lauren is a newcomer in this industry. Please give her another chance,” Kylie said to Ethan.

Ethan turned to look at her, then snorted. “Do you mean she shouldn’t have entered this industry?”

Kylie didn’t know what to say. The man was really a devil.

Lauren, instead, clenched her teeth, glaring at Kylie.

Kylie looked at her and shrugged. It wasn’t her fault, actually.

However, Lauren would blame her for that.

The man’s next sentence would decide Lauren’s future in the entertainment industry.

“Since you shouldn’t have entered the entertainment industry, I think you should change your job,” the man said, then walked by Lauren pulling Kylie’s hand. “Let’s have a 10-minute break.”

“Smoking is forbidden at the set. The fine will be deducted from your salary.” Ethan said to the assistant director.

The assistant director rounded his eyes with confusion, looking to Bob. When?

Bob gave him a glance, then moved his lips saying in silence. Just then.

Without hesitation, Ethan pulled Kylie walking through the shocked crowd and disappeared soon.

“Kylie Finch, you’re a bitch!” Lauren screamed in anger.

Exactly because of Kylie, she was shut out from the entertainment industry. Khloe indeed was a great example. No matter who dared annoy Kylie, he or she was doomed.

However, Lauren didn’t understand why so many powerful men loved Kylie, not her.

Since Lauren’s part was cut out, many scenes could be deleted too. Bob announced today’s work was done, and they would continue tomorrow morning.

Kylie was pulled out by Ethan.

“Let me go! I was just doing my job. Why did you suddenly appear to ruin it!” Kylie was mad, but she couldn’t get rid of his hand.

“I came here to work too!” the man said.

“Oh, really? You simply came here to ruin my job. Lauren is a little noisy, but she did a great job during the previous scenes. How can you cut her part all out?” Kylie glared at him.

“She isn’t a qualified actress with basic principles. I don’t think it’s a bad decision that I shut her out,” Ethan said. He believed he had done the right thing to protect his dear wife.

Nevertheless, the entertainment industry was so complicated. It was useless to shut an amoral actress out.

Kylie felt resigned and wanted to stop, but was pushed into the car by Ethan.

“Where are we going? I still need to work.”

“I arranged a nearby place for you to stay.” Ethan shook his hand, telling Elliot to drive the car.

The road wasn’t even in the film and television base, so the car bumped down the road.

“Slower!” Ethan was angry.

Elliot held the steering wheel tightly in hands, focusing on the road with full attention.

Even passers-by at the outside of the car moved faster than them, and he couldn’t drive it slower anymore.

“The road isn’t even. Don’t blame Elliot for that.” Only Kylie dared criticize Ethan.

Ethan was arguing with Kylie just then, but now he protected her on any account.

He supported Kylie’s waist at her back with one hand and covered her stomach with another. He looked so nervous like the stock market was going to collapse.

“We must be careful in early pregnancy.” “Ha-ha,” Kylie snorted with laughter.

Ethan didn’t mind; she was laughing at him but hugged Kylie to let her sit on his legs, then bent his upper body to be closer to her stomach.

“Baby, I’m your daddy.”

“It’s too small to hear your voice,” Kylie said with a smile on the face.

Ethan, instead, wore a serious face. “You’re right. It can’t hear me with your belly in the middle. I think I should communicate with him at zero distance in the evening.”

Kylie rolled her eyes.

“Impossible. Sex is forbidden in the first three months of pregnancy,” Kylie said.

“I’ve asked the doctor. We can have sex as long as it isn’t too fierce,” Ethan said seriously.

Kylie flushed at once. As long as it isn’t too fierce?

Ethan would never let her go unless he had enough time in bed.

In addition, they had already made love in varied positions at every place in their house.

Kylie couldn’t help but wonder what a gentle Ethan would be like while they were having sex.

Thinking of that, Kylie felt a warm breath around her neck.

“Do you think what I’ll do gently in bed?” the man said in his husky voice.

Kylie didn’t realize the man pressed his wood against her body again until now.

“Stay away!” Kylie pushed his head away to avoid his tender kiss.

Ethan stopped but stared straight at her with a burning desire in his eyes. “Alright, I can wait.”

After a while, the car stopped at a B&B, but Kylie blocked the car door and wouldn’t let Ethan follow her getting off.

“Give me the room card, and I’ll go inside alone,” she said. “I don’t want paparazzi to see me being with you.”

Ethan pressed her back to his chest.

“Once the film is in theaters, I’ll make an announcement to tell everyone you’re Mrs. Parker.

Chapter 352: It Feels Like Kissing You

Kylie’s heart was pounding again.

No matter how many sweet nothings Ethan had said to her, even though some of them weren’t sweet, Kylie still got butterflies in her stomach most of the time.

She flushed a little, then got out of the car with him.

It was a very common B&B, and it even looked a little damaged from the outside. However, when Kylie walked into the room, Ethan had arranged for her, she rounded her eyes in shock.

The furniture inside was all brand new, the floor was covered with long-haired carpets, and all the toiletries were the same brand as those they used in Garbo Palace.

“When did you tell them to prepare all of these well?” Kylie beamed with happiness.

“Last night.” Ethan held her from behind. His arms reached out by her body and picked up the shower gel on the rack. “Do you know what I will do if I miss you, but you’re not home?”

Kylie thought for a while, then boldly replied, “Use your hand?”

Ethan was speechless, and Kylie made a face.

Ethan put the shower gel in front of her. “When I miss you, I’ll use your shower gel, and your fragrance will be all over the quilt.” Kylie took the shower gel over, then opened it to have a smell.

She had to admit that she was touched again.

Kylie smiled. “If I miss you in the future, I’ll use your toothpaste to brush my teeth. It feels like kissing you.”

The man’s big palm pinched her chin to let her lookup, and he leaned over to kiss her. “You must use the toothbrush that was thrown into the toilet by you.”

Uh…

He still remembered the mischief she had done ages ago.

Probably because Ethan was afraid he would lose control of himself, he let her go after a short while of kissing.

“Go, have a rest.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of myself and our baby. You must be busy after you take over Peak Pictures.” Kylie kissed on his cheek, then pushed him walking outside.

“Don’t work too hard,” the man said.

“I won’t.”

“If you feel uncomfortable, call me.”

“I will.”

“Don’t work too long.”

“I understand, nanny.”

“Give me a kiss.”

“Fine.”

The man finally left, but Kylie was worried he might come back again, so she ran to the window and looked down.

The Knight XV, which was as solid as a tank, finally launched, and Kylie watched him going away in her sight. When she just wanted to put down the curtains, she saw the glare flashing.

It was a camera!

Someone was peeping!

Kylie thought for a while, pulling all the curtains up to prevent anyone from seeing the inside of her room, then lay on the bed.

She thought the target of the mysterious person was herself before, but now she was a bit suspicious that the mysterious person’s real target could be Ethan.

Michael already had paid for what he had done. Who else still wanted to kill Ethan?

Or, could it be Dora who loved Ethan too much to leave him?

Kylie was confused. She pulled the quilt over, trying to have some sleep, but heard the sound of weeping from the next room all of a sudden.

“What should I do? Tell me, what should I do now?” It was Lauren’s voice.

“How do I know? Why did you have to annoy Kylie Finch?” It was the assistant director’s voice.

Kylie was cheered up at once. Although she wasn’t interested in eavesdropping, she was curious why they mentioned her name.

“How could I know she had so many powerful men to protect her!” Lauren said in anger. “Chairman Parker is going to shut me out, and you can’t stand aside.”

The assistant director remained silent for a while, then thought of an idea.

“Well, you can have a rest for a while, and I’ll make some calls to see which website needs a model.”

“You want me to do the job of a web model?” Lauren’s tone was changed even. “Those models are all taking pictures in the off-season, wearing swimsuits in the winter, standing on the top of a building in blowing cold wind. I don’t want to do that!”

Seeing her being so ignorant, the assistant director was also annoyed. “Do it or not, I don’t care!”

When he turned and was just about to leave, Lauren suddenly hugged his waist from behind and pressed her head on the man’s back. “Please, don’t be mad at me. I will take the job…”

As she said, her hand kept sliding down and grabbed the trousers of the assistant director.

“Since you’re already here, why don’t you stay with me for a little while longer?”

Accepting her obvious hints, the assistant director soon responded. He smiled and said, “It’s good for you to be smart.”

“I know you won’t leave me alone,” Lauren said, then took the initiative to kiss up.

Kylie shook her head with a resigned look on her face. Lauren was so naive that she believed she could have a bright future as long as she gave the assistant director free sexual service.

However, what she didn’t know was that she was just a plate of dessert or the condiments of life in the eyes of those men like the assistant director.

At short notice, there were footsteps in the hallway.

Kylie’s room was at the end of the corridor, and her next door was Lauren’s. It was reasonable if the footsteps stopped far away.

Nevertheless, the footsteps continued to the end of the hallway.

In that case, the person who came here was looking for her or Lauren.

Kylie sat up from the bed and listened to the sound outside with full attention. However, the sound of a bed knocking against the wall in the next room was too loud and covered the sound outside.

It was quiet for a long time, and there was no sound of knocking on the door, then the footsteps gradually moved away.

The person was gone.

It was so weird.

Kylie jumped out of bed at once, then peeped through the narrow gap between the room door and the frame to the outside.

There was an unidentified liquid flowing on the ground in the public area outside, and a blue flame was jumping on it. What shocked Kylie most was that the liquid was flowing inside through the gap under the door into Lauren’s room due to the inclination of the ground.

Before long, Lauren’s room began to smoke.

Boom!

Kylie quickly ran back to her room, then rolled the quilt to soak it in water in the bathroom. After that, she ran out again with a wet quilt.

The wet quilt was placed on the ground and temporarily controlled the fire. Kylie knocked on the next room door with great force and shouted.

“Lauren? Lauren! Come out now, or you’ll be dead!”

Lauren, who was busy in the bed, looked at the assistant director who was sitting on her and asked. “Kylie Finch? Why is she here? Did she find us having sex?”

The assistant director panicked in shock and rolled down from Lauren’s body in a hurry.

His year-end award was deducted today when he had smoked a cigarette in front of Kylie. If Kylie told Ethan his sexual relationship with Lauren, he might be fired.

“You can’t go out right now!” The assistant director lifted his trousers with one hand and stopped Lauren, who was ready to open the door with another. “You can’t open the door until I’m gone! Remember, don’t tell anyone that I’ve been here!”

The assistant director put on his clothes within seconds, then opened the curtains, escaping away from the window.

However, when Lauren went to open the door, she found that the fire had already burned in. The doorknob was so hot and smoked that she barely could touch it.

“Help!” Lauren didn’t have the time to put on clothes, but shouted in panic, “Kylie Finch, I’m already shut out from the entertainment industry! Why can’t you let me go!”

Chapter 353: Escape From The Burning Fire

Kylie didn’t have time to explain it to her, but knocked on the door harder.

Lauren panicked, then grabbed a piece of clothing to put on in a hurry.

“Kylie Finch, even if I’ll die today, I’ll expose your crime!” Lauren stood at the door and shouted, “I’ll leave a death note and tell everyone that you’re the murderer!”

Kylie, who stood at the outside of the door, was speechless.

She was just kind to save Lauren’s life but suddenly became a murderer.

“Lauren Collins, yes, I did set the fire today!” Kylie said to her across the door. “If you can escape, I’ll tell Chairman Parker not to delete your part in the film!”

Lauren was struck dumb for a second but remained doubtful. “If I can escape, will you help me?”

Kylie didn’t answer her question, and even sneered, “If you can’t, don’t blame anyone, because this is your life!”

After that, Kylie strode away.

Hearing the footsteps moving away, Lauren was more panicked.

It wasn’t easy to escape from the burning flames.

The only exit was surrounded by the big fire, and it was too hot for her to approach the door.

She didn’t dare to escape from the window either, although it looked not high, because she had acrophobia.

Just when Lauren felt hopeless and was about to write down her death note, Kylie ran back again.

This time, not only did she come with the landlord of the B&B, but she also took a fire extinguisher in hand.

“Step back!” Kylie shouted, pulling out the pin, then squeezed the handle sweeping from side to side at the base of the fire.

The fire outside was easily controlled, but she didn’t know what to do with it in the room.

The landlord of this B&B was a middle-aged man. After the dry powder in his hands was sprayed, he slammed the fire extinguisher on the door. Although the door was loosened a little, he still couldn’t open it.

“Try again!” Kylie gave him another fire extinguisher in her hands.

The landlord walked to the door and used the hard bottom of the fire extinguisher to hit the doorknob.

After a while, the door was finally hit open.

Lauren shouted, escaping out. Seeing she just wore a shirt with her legs exposed, Kylie wrapped her in a windbreaker.

“Go downstairs. It’s not safe here,” Kylie said to her.

Lauren was struck dumb. She didn’t understand why Kylie looked so worried now right after she had talked to her with a bad attitude just then.

Lauren even doubted Kylie was pretending. Anyway, she felt so lucky that she escaped from the burning flames and ran downstairs without hesitation.

“It’s too dangerous here. You should leave now!” the landlord shouted to Kylie.

“But can you extinguish the fire yourself?”

“I’ve already made a fire call. Don’t worry about it.”

In fact, it took a long time for the fire truck to drive to the film and television base, and then to this B&B.

Economic losses were inevitable, but fortunately, there were no casualties.

When Kylie returned to her room to take her bag, the temperature in the room was already extremely high. She quickly rushed to the first floor but didn’t see Lauren, who had come down first.

Is she worried that I’ll reveal her sexual relationship with the assistant director, so she left?

Kylie didn’t think further but waited at the door for the fire truck.

It had been a long time that a fire accident had happened in the film and television base, so many of the crews that were shooting stopped when a fire truck arrived. Everyone looked over with curiosity.

There were also some entertainment reporters who heard the news for the first time rushing in and constantly shooting photos and videos of the fire.

Some people even said in an acid tone, “I think this is a good sign. Director Miller’s movie is going to be hot.”

“His actors just stayed in, and it’s soon on fire. I think he has to be responsible for the loss.”

Kylie wanted to call Ethan at the beginning, but he had just returned to his company. If he knew she was in danger, he would come to her at once.

However, the more she wanted to hide it a secret, the more it went abroad.

Some reporters noticed Kylie and surrounded her within a second.

“Kylie, you’ve kept a low profile recently, and even didn’t show up at the latest show of Hamorna TV, but a fire accident happened once you appeared. Do you want to make a high-profile comeback?”

Kylie wiped the dry powder away from her cheek, then said with a smile on her lips, “First of all, I didn’t quit, so there is no such a thing like a comeback.”

She looked back at the window, which was still smoking before saying to the reporter, “Secondly, I reserve my right to sue you. Your words could damage my reputation.”

The reporter was struck dumb for a second but didn’t seem afraid at all. Instead, she continued to bombard Kylie with questions.

“Then, can you explain to us why you suddenly disappeared, which caused The Trailblazer couldn’t be recorded as planned?”

“I wasn’t feeling well back then, so I couldn’t join in the recording.”

“But someone photographed you when you took a cruise on the sea enjoying the scenery. Do you just value your personal pleasure above your job?”

Hearing that, Kylie had a question in mind.

During the time when she was missing, only a few people knew Stephen had abducted her. In addition, they had been on the sea, so it was impossible that someone could have taken photos of them.

Kylie’s looks turned sharp.

The reporter felt a little frightened, then glanced at a place that wasn’t far away.

Although she soon drew her glance back, Kylie still caught some details.

The place was exactly where Kylie had seen the glare flashing.

In that case, the person who had been stalking her didn’t leave but stayed nearby. Was it possible that the person had started the fire at the B&B?

Kylie had an idea in mind.

“Did he tell you to ask me those questions?” Kylie asked the reporter all of a sudden.

The reporter panicked, and she wanted to glance at the place again, but forced herself not to do so. “Who? I don’t understand what you say.” Although she sounded calm, she didn’t dare meet Kylie’s eyes. “I’m a reporter, and I have the freedom of speech and the right to know!”

“Of course.” Kylie shrugged. “I think I also have freedom of speech. Sorry, I don’t want to answer your question.”

“You…” Seeing Kylie was about to leave, the reporter lost her patience. “The assistant director of Dangerous World just ran out disheveled, and you walked out behind him. Is this a coincidence?”

Kylie looked at her and suddenly smiled.

Other reporters saw there could be big news, and all squeezed over reaching out the voice recorder pens to Kylie’s face.

When an actress and a male assistant director came out of the same hotel at the same time, it was very suggestive. What was worse, the assistant director was even disheveled.

Kylie glanced through those reporters. Seeing most of them came near, she answered with a serious face.

“I do have a question that I want to ask you.”

“Please.” The reporter seemed proud because she thought she won.

Kylie pointed at the B&B where the fire was being put out.

“Everyone came after the fire truck entered the film and television base. The question you just asked proved that you were here before the fire truck arrived.”

Everyone didn’t quite understand what Kylie wanted to say. Only the reporter’s face changed a lot.

Without delay, they heard Kylie’s calm, cold voice.

“How do you know in advance that this hotel is going to catch fire?”

 

Chapter 354: Did You Get Hurt?

Everyone turned to look at the female reporter.

Kylie had hit the point.

Most of them stayed outside of the film and television base. When they saw the emergence of big-name stars, they would catch up to have an interview or ask about the progress of the filming.

However, the female reporter had come here earlier than anyone else. How did she know that there would be a fire accident?

Had she started the fire?

The female reporter got into a panic when her peers were all bombarding her with questions. “Don’t listen to Kylie Finch! I saw her, and the assistant director came out one after another with my own eyes. There must be some dirty things that they want to hide…”

However, those reporters apparently had no intention to let her go, and she was surrounded in the center of the crowd.

Kylie gave her a cold glance, then walked away.

It was obvious that this female reporter was just a pawn, but she only had seen the assistant director and Kylie. Where was Lauren?

The only possibility was that she hadn’t been there when the house had been set on fire, and it was the arsonist who had told her that the assistant director came out first.

And when Lauren ran to the outside in Kylie’s windbreaker, the arsonist must have mistaken Lauren as Kylie and abducted Lauren away.

Thinking of that, Kylie changed the direction in which she walked and turned to where she had seen the glare flashing.

She was right. Under one of the thickest big banyan trees was abandoned her black windbreaker.

***

When Kylie went back to the film set, she cleaned the dry powder on her hands and body first, then found the assistant director.

No wonder why the female reporter said he was disheveled.

The assistant director escaped in panic and grabbed a pair of trousers without looking at it. He now was wearing Lauren’s wide-leg pants, but the waist was too thin for him to fasten the button, so his underpants were still bare in the air.

“Ahem!” Kylie coughed a little.

The assistant director then noticed Kylie was there and walked to her.

“Kylie, didn’t you go have a rest?”

Kylie turned her head away, pointing at his pants.

The assistant director found out he had put on the wrong clothes, and felt quite embarrassed. “Um… I… you…” He picked up the costumes to tie around his waist at once.

Kylie stood with her back, facing the assistant director. “Lauren disappeared.

The assistant director was a little surprised, then pretended he was innocent. “Lauren was fired just then. Probably she went home.”

“Lauren didn’t go home, and you should be very clear about it.” Kylie continued, “I just rescued her from the room, but she’s gone now.”

The assistant director didn’t know what to say and opened his mouth after a long while. “Please don’t tell Chairman Parker. I’m begging you…”

“If you don’t want me to tell him, you’ll be responsible for bringing Lauren back,” Kylie said, then walked away without giving him a glance.

She couldn’t let Ethan know it now, so she could only tell the assistant director to find Lauren.

However, just when Kylie walked out, she received Ethan’s call. Once she answered his call, he asked in anxiety.

“Kylie, are you alright? Did you get hurt? Were you scared? Do you know the reason why the fire was started?”

Kylie was surprised that the news went abroad so fast in the Internet age now.

“I’m fine. It was the next room that caught fire. I don’t know the reason yet. Probably it was because of the aging of electrical circuits,” Kylie lied.

Ethan was still very worried about her. “I’ll pick you up right away.”

“Don’t. I’m fine.” Kylie stopped him. “Well, it’s all because of Lauren that I could escape from the fire this time. She went to my room to apologize to me, then found the next room was on fire.”

“Lauren?”

“Yeah, I think she apologized with sincerity. Can we give her another chance?” Lauren did escape from the fire, so Kylie decided to fulfill her promise.

Ethan, of course, understood why Kylie said that.

Nobody knew he had booked a room for Kylie at that B&B. He even told the reception to keep it a secret, so it was impossible that Lauren had come to her room to apologize to her.

Since Kylie wanted to give Lauren another chance, he who always listened to his wife wouldn’t disagree.

“It depends on you,” he said, “but if she bad-mouths you again, I won’t let her get away with it.”

“Sure, thanks.” Kylie had worked in the film set until the early morning of the next day, but Lauren was still nowhere to be found.

When Dinah came to protect her, she was wearing obvious dark circles.

“Did you meet his parents?” Kylie asked.

Dinah sighed and shook her head. “Nope, I went back that night alone. He said he had something to talk about with his parents.”

Kylie patted Dinah’s shoulder and encouraged her. “Cheer up! I think you’ll get Stephen for sure.”

“Me too!” Dinah smiled. “He already handed his clinic over to someone else. It seems he’s going to work in his father’s company today.”

Kylie thought for a while. “Star has told me his parents are expecting him to have children. I think you can have a try.”

Dinah’s eyes lit up. “How come I didn’t think of it.” After that, she looked at Kylie, smiling, which scared Kylie.

“What?” Kylie rolled her eyes.

“Do me a favor.” Dinah approached her, then said in a low voice, “Go meet Stephen’s parents.”

“Me?” Kylie pointed at her nose with confusion, but soon realized Dinah’s aim. “Fine.” They chatted for a while longer before Kylie asked her a serious question.

“Do you know how Dora is doing recently?”

Dinah bit her lips and seemed cornered.

“Kylie, it’s impossible that she can be with Ethan. Ethan never likes her. You don’t need to be worried.”

The more unwilling Dinah was to tell her the truth, Kylie was more suspicious.

“Why are you so reluctant to tell me the latest news about her? Did Ethan hide her somewhere?”

Dinah was struck dumb for a second, then grinned. “Impossible! Ethan will never hide her in the basement…” Dinah blurted it out all of a sudden, then shut her mouth at once.

Kylie was shocked.

“I’ll count to three. If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll call Ethan and tell him that you persuade me to divorce him!” Kylie said to Dinah.

Dinah bit her lips, then finally gave in.

Kylie knew Dinah was afraid of Ethan the most, so she said it on purpose.

Kylie also knew Ethan hated anyone who disagreed on whether she married him the most, so she put the accent on that.

Ever since Kylie had been with Ethan, she gradually learned how to hit people’s most vulnerable part.

Dinah was silent for a while, then raised her head looking at Kylie. “Lord Ethan sent Dora abroad. Although she lives a good life in a foreign country now, her freedom is limited.”

Chapter 355: Strange Reaction

Kylie clenched her hands into fists.

Ethan valued brotherhood. Even if Dora had done something that hurt him, he wouldn’t kill her anyway.

He limited Dora’s freedom, which was a punishment, but was also a way of protection because he knew Michael would revenge himself on Dora too.

Seeing Kylie being so serious, Dinah explained in a hurry, “Please, don’t misunderstand it…”

“I’m just asking.” Kylie raised a smile, then changed the topic. “Have you visited Ken in prison? How is he now?”

“Oh, Ken.” Dinah was relieved when Kylie seemed to be fine and lazily lay on the sofa. “His attitude of confession is very good, and actively cooperated, so it’s very likely that he’ll have a reduced sentence.”

Kylie nodded. That might be the best result. “Can I go to visit him?”

“Please don’t! I’m begging you.” Dinah was nervous and frightened within a second. “If you go to visit him in prison, Ethan will kill me!”

Kylie laughed. “I’m not free these days, but I just want to bring Faith to visit him. She must have a lot to talk to Ken.”

Although Dinah had a strong heart, Kylie had shocked her for quite a few times during a short time.

“Faith? No problem. I can arrange it,” Dinah said, then went aside to make a call.

Kylie, at the same time, lay on the sofa to relax herself.

She seemed to be fine but actually was very anxious.

Since Dora went abroad, who would be the mysterious person that had been stalking her?

Before she figured it out, her phone in her pocket rang.

She took it out and saw the caller was Stephen.

“Hi!” “Hi, Kylie, my parents want to see you,” Stephen said in a gentle voice as usual but was very polite like his parents were right by his side.

Kylie sat up, and Dinah looked to her at this moment. She gave Dinah an OK hand gesture before she said, “I’m sorry. I must stay in the film set these two days.”

The footsteps sounded on the phone, and Stephen might walk aside to talk on the phone, “Just to share a meal with us. It won’t be long. I’ll pick you up later and send you back after the meal.”

Dinah already hung up her call on the phone and came over. Kylie turned the phone on speaker, then said, “Well, I just think isn’t it impolite to see your parents without preparing a gift for the first time?”

On the phone, Stephen’s low laughter sounded. “Don’t worry. I’ve prepared it for you.”

After hanging up, Kylie looked at Dinah. “I’ll go to do you a favor, but you must help me with something too.”

“Of course,” Dinah said with alacrity.

“Help me stop Ethan coming here.”

“Couldn’t I help you with something else?” Dinah pulled a long face.

“What can I do? He’ll come here to see me once he heard the B&B was on fire, so you must stop him for a while.”

“Fine.” Dinah had a high five with Kylie.

Half an hour later, Kylie changed her clothes and waited for Stephen at the door, while Dinah arrived at the Parker family’s old house before her.

A Lamborghini stopped at the door of the film set later, and Kylie sat in at once.

“You’re so sweet that you bought the gift for me!” Kylie fastened the safety belt smiling. “I won’t reimburse you for that to be clear.”

Stephen laughed. “The gift is for my parents, after all. I don’t care.”

“What a great son you are!” Kylie patted his shoulder.

Stephen gave her a glance with his eyes full of tenderness.

“I saw the news today. Was there a fire at your film set?” he asked.

“Yes, a B&B caught fire,” Kylie said. “Director Miller just said smoking is forbidden this morning, but the B&B was on fire right this afternoon.”

Stephen seemed slightly surprised, but he stared straight forward all the time. “Was it because of smoking?”

Kylie answered lightly, then turned to look at him. “I’m not sure, but I heard the landlord said it could be a guest who smoked a cigarette in his room and started the fire by accident.”

Except for Ethan, she didn’t want to tell anyone else about the mysterious person, so she lied when Stephen asked her.

Kylie kept looking at Stephen to catch every expression of his face.

However, Stephen just showed a little confusion, and then his face stayed expressionless. Even his hands holding the steering wheel showed no change.

“Do you think there is something wrong with the fire?” Kylie asked.

“I don’t know.” Stephen glanced at the rear-view mirror, then said to Kylie, “I just feel it couldn’t be an accident because the fire was burning so severely. A cigarette butt can’t cause a fire like that.”

“Who knows.” Kylie shrugged, turning to look at the outside of the window.

From the rear-view mirror, Kylie noticed a car was following them. When Stephen’s Lamborghini moved to another road, the car made a circle but soon followed up behind again.

Stephen should have noticed that too from the rear-view mirror, but he didn’t say it.

Kylie sensed something must be wrong and observed Stephen’s profile on the car window.

Ever since Stephen had taken off his glasses, Kylie felt his eyes were so sharp, like a sharp sword.

Although he looked gentle when he faced Kylie, he seemed very cold when he was with others.

A strange idea dawned on Kylie, but Stephen interrupted her at this moment.

“You can behave normally when we meet my parents later.”

Kylie crossed her arms on her chest. “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? I can wear my leather skirt and T-shirt, which is my usual look.”

After that, Kylie approached Stephen all of a sudden, which scared him, and he moved aside. “What are you doing? I’m driving.”

“Star, do you want me to leave a bad impression on your parents?”

“Of course not!” Stephen said. “My parents have collected all your information on the Internet, and they haven’t been scared away yet.”

Kylie nodded, then suddenly felt what he just had said wasn’t right.

“Why should your parents be scared away just because of the information about me on the Internet? The news on the Internet is all fake!” Kylie argued.

Stephen laughed. “You’re a tough girl, and my mother’s worried we couldn’t get along well.”
