Ch. 46..50: Fatal Kiss Of The Vampire Chapter 46-50

Chapter 46: I Want To Have A Nice Talk With You

7 p. m.

Kylie had finished the day’s work. Although there hadn’t been many shots that day, she had been in almost as many as the leading actress. Her back was in pain for having worn such thick, rough clothing, and for having carried such heavy baggage.

Kylie changed her clothes and removed her makeup. She put on a cap with the brim pulled low. She was still a new, unknown actress, so probably nobody would recognize her.

The filming location was far away from where Kylie lived, but Kylie felt like going for a walk with Pupu. Before she could get very far, a black Audi pulled up beside her.

The car window slowly rolled down. Aiden was smiling at her. “Kylie, let me bring you back.”

Kylie was confused. Hadn’t he already gone? “Thank, but I want to walk the dog.” Kylie kept walking forward without turning her head.

The car sluggishly followed her. “Kylie, I want to have a nice talk with you.”

Kylie sneered. “We’ve talked enough. Do you want to cause me more trouble? If the paparazzi take a photo of me with my brother-in-law, it could go viral.”

Aiden frowned, but he’d become used to her harsh tone and didn’t want to give up just yet. “I have no intention of causing any trouble. I literally want to talk to you about something.”

If Aiden would not leave her alone, there was really a chance she could get caught by paparazzi. Kylie made sure there was nobody else around, then she pushed Pupu into the car, and followed him in.

Half an hour later, they were at a restaurant in town. Aiden had considered many dishes. “These are all your favorites. Eat some. You’ve been losing weight recently.” He actively placed the plates in front of Kylie.

“Let’s get down to business.” Kylie sat at the opposite end, keeping her head down, playing with Pupu, who was beneath the table. Aiden remained silent for a while before taking out a cheque and putting it on the table.

Kylie glimpsed at the three million dollar cheque. She squinted and thought to herself: Break-up fee? Wasn’t it too late for that?

Aiden looked serious. “It was all my fault, but please… please don’t hurt yourself,” he said. Kylie raised her head and smiled. “Wow, why does it sound so strange. I can’t be more protective of myself,” she replied.

“Then what’s going on between you and the boss of Peak Pictures?” Aiden asked directly.

He had hired someone to investigate. The manager of Peak Pictures was a thirty-year-old, unmarried woman, with a primary school degree, but each of her decisions was highly accurate and decisive. Kylie’s background was simple. It was arguable that she might have an affair with a man, but it was difficult to imagine her with a woman. Due to Kylie’s stunning beauty, she was titled “The Most Dangerous Bitch” among the women of Seattle.

“What’s your view then?” Kylie stretched her legs onto the opposite chair, comfortably and lazily. Aiden clenched his teeth and angrily pulled at the chair on which her legs rested. “Kylie Finch! You’ve earned a living on your own for so many years! Don’t tell me that you can easily lead an affluent life, simply as an extra! I know what kind of money you’d need to manage the way you’ve been going lately!”

“Interesting. Now you know how hard it’s been.” Kylie grinned. “Even though I have countless sugar daddies, it’s none of your business.”

If it had been a month earlier, she would have believed that Aiden had changed, and had finally become aware of her difficulties. If it had been a week earlier, she probably would have believed that Aiden was jealous of all the many men he believed was at her side.

But now, she could only assume that Aiden was a dumb fool, and pretended to be considerate towards her when he’d found out that she was about to become popular.

“Kylie, even though we’ve broken up, you still have a place in my heart. You’re like a younger sister or a good friend, but simply don’t refuse me anymore. This isn’t plenty of money, but it’s enough to support your lifestyle for a period of time. Please resign from Garcia Entertainment, stop filming Tea House, and abandon the entertainment industry…”

“Abandon the entertainment industry?” All of a sudden, Kylie became aggressive. “Who are you to ask me to do that?! Your younger sister? Don’t forget that I’m your aunt, Ethan! Do I lack money? Lord Ethan is far richer than you! If you really feel sorry for me, then you can break up with Khloe. Can you do that?”

“Kylie, I…” Aiden’s face became pale. “I can’t do that. Khloe had helped me a great deal… Even though I’m no longer in love with her, I still need to provide her with the best, as I promised.”

Kylie’s heart felt very heavy. “So your promises to me amount to trash, to be dumped into the trash-can whenever you want?” she asked, with sarcasm.

Aiden frowned forcefully. “I’m sorry. If I’ve said anything that you’ve misunderstood, I do apologize! But please don’t blame Khloe for the bad things I’ve done to you. She’s innocent.”

“Sure! She’s the innocent one while I’m the evil one.” Kylie lifted herself up, and Pupu jumped to his feet. “Even if I die in hell, it’s my choice. You’re the last person in the world who’s qualified to tell me what to do, and be a part of my life.”

“Kylie, please listen to me!” Aiden snatched Kylie’s hand. But Pupu, who had been staring at him with dissatisfaction, made a warning sound before he could continue. Out of fear, Aiden immediately loosened his hand.

“Kylie.” He took a step to get in Kylie’s way and insisted: “I admit that I love you deep down in my heart, but Khloe has saved my life. I’ve promised that I would take care of her for a lifetime…”

Kylie forced herself to stop and looked at him with disbelief. “What did you say?”

Aiden sighed and finally spoke his heart. “Kylie, my heart tore into pieces when I saw you with Uncle Ethan. I realized how much I care about you when I lost you. But now it is what it is. We can’t be together anymore…”

“The sentence before that,” Kylie calmly said. Aiden was confused, but repeated himself: “I admit that I love you deep down in my heart, but Khloe has saved my life…”

Before he could finish, a sarcastic smile crossed Kylie’s face. She alternated between shaking and nodding her head for quite a while. Then she smiled at Aiden. “Given that we’ve been together for five years, I strongly suggest that you see an oculist.”

After speaking those words, Kylie walked away.

Kylie finally made it back to where she was staying, with a six-pack of beer in hand. When the night was quiet and peaceful, she sat on the roof of the two-story hotel, holding Pupu in her arms, and drinking in the wind.

Life was indeed full of surprises. Five years ago, Aiden had been kidnapped, but the kidnapper had wanted to kill him, even after they had received the money. But Kylie had rushed to the building that had been lit on fire and had pulled him out, risking her own life.

The two had fallen down, unconscious due to a lack of oxygen. Before, when they had been slowly losing consciousness, Aiden had tightly embraced her and promised to take care of her for the rest of his life.

When Kylie had awakened in the hospital three days later, the police had claimed that Aiden’s rescue had depended on acute action and accurate information.

It had been because of Aiden’s promise that she had pursued him for those five years. However, five years later, he’d just informed her that Khloe had been the one to save his life!

Chapter 47: Am I Silly?

Chapter 47: Am I Silly?

“Am I silly?”

“You’re not only silly, and you’re blind!”

Kylie hugged Pupu’s neck and completely leaned against his body.

Soon after, when all of her beer was finished, her vision began to blur. She saw a familiar figure standing on the roof of the building.

“You’re late… Drink three glasses first…”

Ethan took the empty bottles from Kylie’s hands, and ruthlessly threw them against the roof.

His face was gloomy. After having a smoke, he carried her down the stairs, suppressing the anger in his heart.

When he’d received Kylie’s call, he’d been a little surprised. But what he’d heard was her unclear shouting on the phone: “Lord Ethan, the pocket money was all deducted… Can I… write a blank note…?”

Then he’d hurried to fly by helicopter, to be with her.

Kylie was stuffed into the helicopter. She had been quite happy on the roof but now remained motionless on the back seat. There was an overpowering smell of alcohol spreading over the cabin.

The temperature on the mountain was a little lower, but Kylie was still wearing hot pants, which were tight on her buttocks. The fair, tender legs were moving slightly.

Ethan’s eyes darkened, thinking of the possibility that she had been seen by others today, the way she looked…

The anger that he’d been pressing down sprang up in an instant, making him more and more irritable.

He pulled hard on his tie, while his black eyes stared at her.

“How dare you drink yourself into a stupor!” He hummed and started the engine of the helicopter. When it ascended, Kylie looked uncomfortable. Her eyes closed, and she wanted to cover her ears to block out the noise, but she accidentally rolled off her seat.

The man glanced at her, ignored her, then lifted the helicopter high up.

“You asked for it!” Ethan scolded her. He wanted to teach her a lesson, or she would become more unbridled.

The helicopter simply stopped. Kylie immediately opened the cabin door and staggered outside, squatting down to vomit.

While looking at her miserable appearance, Ethan’s mood improved a great deal.

Even Pupu also kept his distance from her, choosing to watch from far away.

Ethan leaned against the helicopter. Squinting at her slender figure, he asked coldly: “Done?”

Kylie sat on the ground and tried her best to lift her head and look at him. Her eyes were watery and glazed over, which made Pupu feel as though he had wronged her, even though he did not know what mistake he had made.

She pursed her lips and puffed out her cheeks.

Ethan threw away his cigarette. “Damn it!”

He strode up to her, and violently pulled her to her feet. Kylie lost her balance and directly fell into his arms.

As soon as she was stuck against his chest, Kylie felt safe and sound. She held him tight and was unwilling to let him go.

Ethan wanted to push her away, but he did not succeed.

The tall, strong man lowered his eyes and looked at Kylie’s fair and delicate face. She was like fine porcelain, silky, and lustrous. Her curly, long eyelashes slightly moved every time she blinked.

Perhaps because she was aware of being observed, she arched her neck and rubbed her head of fine hair against his chest, whining, exactly like a puppy.

***

After she had finished cleaning, Aunt Lucy saw her master coming up the drive with Kylie under his arm. Shocked, she hurried over to help.

As soon as she approached, she caught a whiff of a sharp odor.

“Did ma’am drink? She must feel bad to have drunk so much…” Lucy worried.

Ethan coldly replied: “She must want to test my tolerance!”

Lucy spoke in Kylie’s favor at once: “Maybe she had trouble at work and just wanted to vent.”

“Vent? Am I just a decoration? I’m her husband! If she was aggrieved she could have told me; there was no need to get drunk alone! Luckily, I was there in time, otherwise…” Ethan grumbled in his mind.

He was still angry at the thought of the last time she had been assaulted. This woman always knew how to drive him crazy.

“I’ll handle her, and you go rest,” he said.

“Yes, Sir,” Lucy answered.

In the second-floor bedroom, Ethan immediately tossed Kylie into the bathtub and turned on the shower. Water sprayed out, hitting Kylie’s body.

Soon her clothes were soaking wet. Her bra was like a sponge, and her black hair stuck against her fair skin.

Ethan took off his coat and gently rolled up his sleeves, staring down at the sleeping woman in the bathtub.

“One, two, three, four, five…” He counted.

“Ah!” Not even making it to ten, Kylie suddenly opened her eyes wide and tried to climb out the tub.

As soon as she climbed out, she was pressed down by a big hand and resultantly sank back into the water.

A low and clear voice, with a hint of coldness, sounded above her head: “Wash!”

Kylie screamed, with her eyes closed: “Help… ‘I’m scared…”

“Don’t pretend to be pitiful!” Ethan said, with a cold expression.

Her tears mingled with the water. Kylie’s little nose turned red, and she kept saying: “I need to pee, I can’t hold it…”

Ethan lifted her out of the bathtub, his face turning darker, but she clasped his leg and prayed, “Mommy… help me take off my pants…”

After hearing these amazing words, Ethan sucked in his lips, and his pretty face froze in an instant.

She had called him “Mommy,” and even asked him to help take off her pants…

Although he was happy to help, this “Mommy” address had instantly extinguished his fire of desire…

He cleared his throat, glanced at the woman who was tightly holding her thighs together.

Even though it was a hot summer night, Ethan hadn’t showered her with cold water, but with warm water, of exactly the right temperature.

Now that she was drenched, the curve of her figure was clearly visible. Her complexion was pink and fair, as if she was a freshly baked cake waiting to be tasted.

Noticing his lack of response, she rubbed his legs with her head, acting a little poor.

He reached for the tap and turned it off. Moving his legs away from her, he said: “The toilet is over there, so go pee yourself.”

Kylie shook her head and remained motionless on the ground, muttering something.

He said loudly: “Didn’t you say you couldn’t hold it?”

Kylie raised her head, and, with blurry eyes, beeped: “Mommy…”

She really didn’t seem to recognize him…

Ethan was speechless. He was so good-tempered only because it was her.

“I’m not your mom! Go to pee yourself!”

“Mommy… help me take off my panties…”

Ethan was furious. Kylie’s hands kept touching and climbing up his leg, mumbling: “I can’t hold it anymore, I need to pee…”

He held back his anger and lifted her to her feet, pulling her pants down with his eyes closed, then pressing her on the toilet. “Pee!”

But Kylie seemed not to hear what he said. With her head hanging down, she talked to herself: “Mom… why, do you leave me… I miss you so much… They all said that I’m not my father’s child… but if you say I am, then I must be… Mom, you said it…” She began to sob.

Ethan’s heart began to soften. At that moment, Kylie abruptly sang out: “I called my momma, she was out for a walk… consoled a cup of coffee, but it didn’t wanna talk… So I picked up a paper, there was more bad news… More hearts being broken and people being used…”

Ethan stood in front of her, motionless, looking down at the woman who was crying and singing, and who kept arousing his desire by rubbing his leg…

 

Chapter 48: Has She Become Transparent?

The little kindness in his heart was driven away by her song.

Ethan wanted to kick her away in a rage, but at the same time, he was greedy for the touch of her hands as they climbed up his leg.

As a result, he stood beside her and continued to listen to her stories about the past and her complaints about the difficulties of life. But he suddenly turned away, with a complicated look in his eyes when he heard Kylie curse Aiden because he’d mistaken her for Khloe.

Walking out to the terrace, he irritably lit a cigarette and took a deep smoke.

Looking over the thick night, he strolled down memory lane.

Five years ago, he had been back in Seattle to deal with some matters, and to visit her in passing.

Looking at the pizza boxes and snack packaging spread out all over the floor, he had been a little worried, wondering how the girl could live like this.

After he’d cleaned up the garbage and taken a bath, he’d lay down on her bed. The door had suddenly opened, and the corridor’s light had encompassed a girl’s figure.

“Shit, I didn’t pay the electricity bill?” She had switched the light on, but nothing had happened.

Then she took off her wig and little leather skirt, and went into the bathroom to take a bath.

At that time, Ethan had had plenty of time to leave, but he hadn’t. He had been quietly listening to the sound of water flowing in the bathroom, and guessing what she had been doing.

Kylie had not discovered him in the room until she lay down on the bed. Unlike other women, she had not screamed, but looked at the ceiling, and said, faintly: “You didn’t find a penny, right? I can’t even pay the electricity bill.” Her voice had sounded lazy.

In the darkness, Ethan had smiled. After all, no thief would do the cleaning for the person he planned to rob.

“But I can give you some information about a rich man, and in return, you can give me a thousand dollars.”

Ethan had not replied or had not known how to reply.

The rich man that Kylie mentioned was her father, Laurence. Ethan had then smiled very faintly, given her a thousand dollars, and left the house.

Ethan was a man of high vigilance. He had known that Kylie had been stalking him, but he had been unconcerned about that and had led her to his home.

Perhaps, for a moment, he had wanted her to know who he was.

However, he had not been strong enough to give her the best.

But to his surprise, the girl had unexpectedly mistaken him for Aiden, whom she then foolishly pursued for five years…

His deep memories were interrupted by a burning sensation on his fingers.

Ethan threw away the cigarette butt and rubbed his burned fingers.

When he returned to the bathroom and opened the door, he was stunned. Kylie had disappeared.

There was nobody in the toilet and nobody in the bathtub. He had only left for a few minutes, but Kylie had disappeared…

Twisting the corner of his mouth, he followed the wet footprints and found that they suddenly stopped when he reached the bedroom.

But she was not on the bed either!

“Has she become transparent…?” Ethan frowned, and, realizing where she might be, he turned towards the wardrobe.

Sure enough, Kylie was sitting cross-legged in the closet, making a mess of his neat clothes, and clutching at her old-fashioned phone. She seemed to be sending a message.

Ethan questioned her with a chilled face: “What are you doing?”

Kylie ignored him and continued to type.

“Come out of there.” Ethan grabbed her by the waist and dragged her out.

“It’s mine!” Kylie rolled her eyes and seized her phone like a madwoman, acting like she was being robbed.

His face turned dark again. “No one wants to take your cracked phone, just come out.”

“You’re cracked, you’re the whole family is cracked!” Kylie grasped at the clothes above her head and threw them out. “Your clothes are cracked! Ugly!”

“Ugly?” Ethan asked in reply. His shirts were all custom-made by famous Italian masters, yet she dared to say they were ugly.

He raised his eyebrows and stared at her cell phone. “All right, yours looks best. Show me.”

Hearing that, and thinking that he was going to rob her phone, Kylie crazily kicked the man who was approaching her. “Get out! Don’t look! You scum!”

She dared to ask him to get out and call him scum!

Ethan suddenly sneered. He smiled an unprecedented chilled smile, with extraordinary sharp eyes. No one had ever dared to describe him with that word.

How would a man like him, who has been through hundreds and thousands of fights, be unable to handle a girl?

He stretched out his long arms, and grabbed her delicate ankles, pulling and dragging her out of the closet, along with the clothes inside.

“Ah…!” Kylie screamed with her eyes closed.

Ethan reached out to cover her mouth, leaning forward. “Shut up!” Her cry was so miserable that the others might think he had done something to her.

But what he wanted to do had not yet begun…

She could not scream anymore; she could only stare at him with her two big eyes, her clothes soaking wet. Ethan stood between her legs, suppressing her.

His eyes became as deep as a bottomless hole. Kylie’s waist was thin as if it could easily break. Her long hair hung down, and water kept dropping from it, hitting his cold heart.

All of a sudden, he lifted her up like she was a child, and got her to ride on his waist. The other hand pinched her chin, straightened her head, and he directly kissed her.

It was the first real kiss between them.

There was still the smell of alcohol coming from her mouth, which made Ethan obsessed but also more irritated. If such a young girl had already become addicted to alcohol, he thought he must be stricter with her.

At the thought of that, he bit down hard on her tongue.

Kylie frowned with pain, and murmured “Uncle…”

Ethan smacked her buttocks, breathing deeply. “I don’t have such a big niece!”

She felt pain and suddenly bit his lips.

“Hiss…” Ethan hummed, anger appearing in his dark eyes.

What a fierce woman, biting him to the point of blood. But she didn’t know that man only became more ferocious with the taste of blood.

“Don’t you dare take another bite!” Ethan snapped, warningly.

Her chin was still pinched between his fingers. The two big eyes opened wide and stared at the man’s cold gaze. Scared, she pushed him off with a rush, then licked her lips.

Kylie thought the taste of his mouth was unexpectedly good… She wanted to try again.

Attracted by her adorable movements, Ethan was stiff; his lower abdomen was burning. If her cell phone had not suddenly fallen on the floor, he would immediately have eaten her up.

“It’s mine!” Kylie struggled to pick it up.

“Mine is yours, so yours is surely mine.” Ethan raised his eyebrows evilly, throwing her on the bed, then bending over to pick up the phone.

“Don’t look…” Kylie rolled off the bed and tried to take it back.

A bad smile appeared on his face, “If you can take it back, you can have it.”

Ethan was tall. When she was barefoot, as she was now, Kylie’s head only came up to his chest; she couldn’t reach the phone even if she jumped.

However, she was not stupid. She climbed up onto the bed and threw herself at him from that elevated position. Ethan staggered when she hit him. Luckily, he had sharp eyes and agile hands, so he successfully caught the woman who was about to fall to the ground.

Kylie fell into his arms. Her head sank against him, and she immediately fell asleep.

Ethan’s lips moved slightly. He adjusted her position in his arms and picked up her cell phone with one hand.

The moment the screen lit up, his angular face became startled.

“What’s this?” He asked himself. To his surprise, she had written about her mood…

Ethan, without any shame at all, began to read her mood record.

But when he saw the first entry, his handsome face turned dark again.

 

Chapter 49: I Have A High IQ

August 13: a sunny day

Saw a bitch and a bastard making out holy shit!

August 14: another sunny day

Finally touched the ass of my dream car! A Knight XV. But the owner is a pervert!

“A pervert?” Ethan squinted his eyes, looking dangerous. He took a deep breath, held back the impulse of choking Kylie to death and continued reading her log.

August 15: blazingly sunny

Did I save the earth in a previous existence? And do I have to save all of humanity in this life? PS: He is impotent and deceives me by saying that he married me just to oppose his family!

“Impotent? I’ll let you try to get out of bed! We’ll see if you call me impotent then!” Ethan turned off her cell phone with a sullen expression. If he continued to read it, he might be so furious that he’ll kill her.

The phone was thrown into the drawer, and his disheveled tie was also thrown aside. Ethan looked down at her and took a deep breath.

He bent his strong body down and pinched her face. Gnashing his teeth, he said: “Just because you saved the earth in your previous existence, doesn’t mean you’re free of me in this life, you idiot!”

Kylie hummed in pain.

He lifted her up, and gently bit her nose, saying: “How dare you write something bad about me on your phone, huh?”

Kylie looked innocent when she slept, making him think that she was obedient.

Thinking of what she might have meant when she’d called him impotent, Ethan was irritated. He looked at the tender girl in his arms and wondered why she would say such vicious words.

His bite of punishment gradually turned to her body. Ethan’s breath became more and more unstable, kissing her body and tearing at her wet clothes.

On the following day, Kylie was in the bathroom, cursing Lord Ethan’s family.

“The bastard! Pervert! Dare to assault me while I was drunk indecently!”

As soon as she had opened her eyes that day, she had seen the hickeys all over her body. Surely, she knew who had made them. Now she was even more certain that he was impotent: biting her like that without making love to her.

She could only remember a part of the previous night: she had been drinking on the roof of the hotel, then she had made a call to someone to complain, but hadn’t expected that Ethan would answer.

As she was about to close the door and take a bath, she saw a soft chocolate creature shove in through the crack of the door.

It Seemed that Pupu had been waiting at the door for her for a while. Her irritable mood was instantly cured. She hugged him and kissed him.

“Pupu, you came back last night too? It seems that he is not all bad.”

Staring at the hickeys on her body, Pupu wagged his tail.

“Good boy, I’m going to take a bath, do you want to join?”

“Woof, woof!”

Outside the door, Ethan was listening to their conversation. His face was rather gloomy, and his emotions were a mess, to the point that he was even now becoming jealous of a dog.

Seeing her always hugging and kissing Pupu, while she only spoke ill of Ethan on her log… He was jealous to death.

Last night he had held back his desire, again and again, to prevent himself from making love to her.

Perhaps he was bigoted, or selfish, or else he had “the first time” complex…

He hoped, one day, that they could wholeheartedly enjoy the process, in a state of pleasure. Plus, it should at least happen when she was conscious. If he took her “first time” away when she was drunk, she would have no idea how powerful he was!

After the shower, Kylie walked out of the bathroom while putting on her bra. Buckling the bra, with her hands on her back, she suddenly saw the man sitting on the bed.

“You…” She stiffened after saying that one word. Her hands were still on her back as she looked at Ethan in amazement.

Her posture was awkward, and, after buckling the bra, she didn’t know where to put her hands.

She had chosen a very thin bra Today because it was so hot when shooting at the Baleney scenic zone. Now that she was excited, her nipples bulged…

While watching her change, Ethan’s eyebrows moved slightly up. He still kept his head low, and his eyes expressionless, to hide his impulse. “What haven’t I seen of you?”

He had no intention of evading the subject at all.

But that’s good, Kylie thought She was bitten all across her body, there was no need to hide from him anymore.

Kylie adjusted the bra, then opened the wardrobe door to block his sight. “Today is not the weekend, so why don’t you go to work? Ah… has my pocket money all been deducted?”

“Negative.” Ethan inadvertently took a look at her beautiful back.

“Oh… Then I’m free now.” She picked out a dress and put it on, zipping it up then turning toward him.

“Still want to drink?” Ethan’s face was instantly gloomy. “Tell me why you love Aiden.”

Kylie thought he must be insane. “I don’t love him anymore.”

“Then why did you love him before?” asked the man, wiping the wet Pupu with a large towel.

“Aren’t you going too far?” Kylie looked at him with surprise. He looked like a big ice-cube, cool and hard, but he was very gentle when taking care of Pupu.

“What if I ask you as his uncle? Tell me, maybe I can help you.” He did not even raise his eyes, imagining that the one he was wiping was Kylie and not Pupu.

Kylie was angry. “You don’t want to know.”

“Maybe I do.”

She took out the hairdryer, blew her hair to half-dry, then threw it at him, asking him to blowdry Pupu’s fur.

When Pupu’s fur was almost dry, she said gloomily: “Because I was blind.”

Ethan stood up and nodded contentedly. “Indeed.” Then he turned around and walked away.

“What a vicious tongue!”

***

In the helicopter, on her way to the Baleney scenic zone, Kylie was reading the news in her seat.

Pupu was acting as a soft pillow for her.

“The most popular actress plays important roles in two TV dramas.

“Khloe Finch doesn’t put on airs and gets along well with the crew members. Her suspected fiancé came to visit.

“Newcomer Kylie Finch is amazingly beautiful, honored to collaborate with “Best Actor” Cliff Benjamin in her first big role.

“At the opening ceremony of Tea House, the evening dress caught more attention than the cast.

“Newcomer Kylie Finch got lots of attention, treating the crew to expensive iced coffee.”

So far the news was good, but as she continued to read, she saw terrible reports about herself:

“Kylie misbehaved in her early years…

“Kylie Finch’s unknown side…

“Kylie Finch got the role by all kinds of means…”

She had known the press would write these kinds of reports, so she was her usual calm self.

Even without the coffee and crystal rose that Star sent her, her previous scandals would have also brought her bad reports.

Even if there was no real evidence, a rumor that was spread by too many people was hard to clarify.

“You’ve got trouble?” Ethan’s low and clear voice sounded through her earphone.

Kylie pulled down the speaker, and, looking at the man who was expertly driving the helicopter, laughingly said: “Lord Ethan, you’re really an all-powerful husband.”

“And you realized it just now?”

Kylie looked flattered, shrugged, and said: “Forget it, you’re so nice to me. I won’t get used to it after the divorce. Besides, popularity comes from gossip!”

After that, she rubbed Pupu’s belly, adding: ” The wise don’t listen to rumors.”

“I have a high IQ.” The implication of his words was: “I believe you.”

Astonished, Kylie leaned forward and lay on her back. “Lord Ethan, are you a pick-up artist?”

Chapter 50: What A Terrible Day For Her

“What?” A touch of confusion flashed across his face; he didn’t understand the meaning of this network terminology.

“I mean… Are you so nice to all the girls?” She tilted her head and waited for his answer.

Under the big sunglasses, there was a smile in Ethan’s eyes. “Only to you.”

As soon as he’d finished, the atmosphere in the cabin became strange. At the thought of what had happened last night, Kylie’s face instantly flushed.

She really wanted to beat herself up; she should have known that she should not bring up such an awkward topic.

Fortunately, Ethan was not insatiable. “The helicopter will be parked in the middle of the mountain. Be careful on the way to the hotel,” he said.

“Don’t worry.”

On the way back to Seattle, Ethan was still a little worried, so he made a call to Nate Bass.

“Send someone to the Baleney scenic zone..”

“Are you worrying about Kylie? A rainbow will not appear before the rain. You will not cherish something if it’s too easy to get,” Nate said in a strange tone.

“My woman is to be loved dearly,” Ethan replied seriously.

“… Ethan, you’ve won.”

Seeing him being so nice to Kylie, Nate’s heart hurt. The attitude between Kylie and himself was completely different.

In the old days, Ethan had left him in the Amazon under the pretext of full development. If Nate had not developed into an excellent escape artist, he would have been food for the crocodiles.

He was wondering why things were different when it came to Kylie…

“OK, OK! I’ll send someone to keep an eye on Mrs. Parker, and I’ll also take care of her personally.”

“Mm-hmm,” Ethan contentedly replied in a magnetic and low voice. “There’s a thirty million dollar business for you.”

“Hmm? My big bro, I have a bad signal here.” Nate could not believe what he’d said. Picking his ear, he asked for confirmation: “You said you’d give me a business? Since you went abroad last time, you’ve paid no attention to me. I’ve depended on myself for the past five years!”

“You don’t want it?”

“Yes! Why not!” Nate suddenly jumped up. “It’s just… you’re suddenly so nice to your bro, I’m not used to it…”

He recalled what he said just now, and tried to figure out the reason for the change in Ethan’s attitude. Is it because I called Kylie ‘Mrs. Parker’? He thought.

Finally, he had discovered Ethan’s weakness.

***

As soon as Kylie arrived at the Baleney scenic zone, she overheard the crew discussing the reports about her. Even the woman who was only responsible for their lunches looked at her with cold eyes.

Presumably, the gossip had spread to the mountain.

The lunch woman began criticizing her: “Being a newbie but making trouble all the time! The gossip even reached the headlines. What nerve! Shame on you!”

The other handymen echoed her: “Later, the reporters will visit the crew. She’s gonna be the headline again. Look at her neck! Tut…”

“Goddess Khloe, I heard that you’re in the same company as her. Does she act like this among the company?

“How could this kind of woman be in Garcia Entertainment…”

Listening to their discussion, a trace of helplessness showed on Khloe’s face.

“The forest is big enough for all the birds to live in, so the company cannot keep an eye on everyone.” As soon as Khloe had spoken, she quickly covered her mouth as if she had spilled the beans. “I mean, there are all kinds of reporters, we can’t take everything they write seriously.”

However, her ambiguous words made everybody believe even more that she was a woman with a messy personal life.

They continued gossiping until the producer reminded them that it was time for shooting.

On seeing the crowd disperse, Khloe sneered and asked Lucas Jackson, who was standing beside her: “Everything’s ready?”

“You can rest assured, I’ve sprinkled paprika all over her costume. Look at the hickeys on her neck, she won’t dare to take off the clothes anyhow,” answered Lucas.

When Kylie entered the dressing room, she was a little shocked; a new actress had been added to the crew.

It was the woman who had played the wife in the Century Building, that time that Kylie had played the mistress. Her name was Lily Lawrence.

Lily had been invited by the crew to play the elder sister of the heroine. Her part in the drama was not very big; she died in the end because her fiancé took a fancy to the tea maiden’s younger sister, the role played by Kylie.

Although her company had agreed, she was extremely reluctant to take on the role. She had just abused Kylie in their last film, and now it was her turn to be abused by Kylie.

That’s why she had pretended to be sick and had been absent from the opening ceremony.

Kylie reckoned that Lily had received a call from Khloe, knowing that she was also in the crew. Those two had a good relationship. The reason why Lily had finally agreed to join the crew was probably that she knew that Garcia Entertainment had invested thirty million dollars in the drama.

Lily was getting dressed. When she saw Kylie come through the door, she immediately made a sarcastic expression and didn’t seem to care whether it was known that they did not like each other.

Lily had a bad reputation in the entertainment industry. She was the mistress of a big boss, and that rich and powerful man had spent a fortune for her packaging, and he’d bought her a nomination for the “Best New Artist.”

But now that she was the “Best New Artist,” she was getting upstaged by a “newbie” and was surely unhappy.

“Isn’t this the gossip queen of our crew? There must be some luxury iced coffee for you. You’re not going to drink the water prepared for us, right?”Speaking these words, Lily threw the cup of water that Kylie’s assistant had prepared for her.

Kylie did not even take a look at her. Instead, she sat down on the chair in the corner and closed her eyes, memorizing the script.

This was what she was like; she never cared about the messes when she was working.

“Why are you acting so superior?! I’m your senior, and you just ignore me?” Lily threw the clothes handed over by the dresser to the ground.

Kylie didn’t even move but continued to memorize her script.

Her assistant hurried to pick up the costume and whispered in Lily’s ear: “Look at the hickeys on her neck, she must have had lots of fun last night. She’s too tired and will fall asleep now.”

Only then did Lily notice that Kylie’s head was resting on the back of her chair, lips slightly open. It seemed that she was really asleep.

“Sleeping so soundly? The bitch must be pretending.”

She was right; Kylie was pretending to be asleep. As soon as she’d seen Lily, she’d known she’d have to deal with her muttering for a while.

Since she’d been the headline for so many gossip reports, it was troublesome for her to quarrel with Lily now, no matter who would have the upper hand. It was much easier to pretend to be asleep.

The dresser knew that Lily was picky, so she carefully asked: “Beauty Lily, your make-up and dress is OK. How do you like it?”

“The costume is so loose, and it makes me look like a middle-aged woman!” Lily vented her anger to the dresser.

“Where is it lost?” The dresser was nervous.

“Everywhere! Looks ugly!”

Even though Lily’s character in the drama was only twenty-three years old, in the old days, a woman who was not married by twenty-three was called a “leftover woman.” So, the costume she was wearing was certainly more mature than she was used to.

Lily kept on being picky and raised her voice. Nevertheless, Kylie still slept safe and sound in the corner.

The dresser dared not answer back but altered the costume as requested, staring at Kylie with anger from time to time.

She certainly knew that Lily was abusing Kylie by ostensibly pointing to her. What a terrible day for her.

Because of the limited space in the scenery zone, all the female artists shared one dressing room. Therefore, if Lily did not go out soon, she could only continue to pretend to sleep.

The dresser almost re-made Lily’s costume, but she still murmured with discontent.

When the deputy director came in to find her, she reluctantly stood up and kicked hard at Kylie’s chair.

It was Kylie’s turn to get dressed. The dresser made noise by messing up the hangers. She rolled her eyes and roared: “Kylie Finch if you want to sleep, you should go home!”

Kylie rubbed her eyes and sat up. “Sorry, I’ll change my clothes now.”
