Chapter 70 Learning the Truth
Taylor gnashed her teeth in hatred but she didn’t dare to do anything to Kristen.
Kristen belonged to Ethan, and with his protection, no one in Nangania would dare to hurt her.
She had used her body to exchange for the company’s financing, and now she had nothing.
She did not know if she was envious or jealous of her. When she thought that Ethan was willing to spend hundreds of millions just to buy a role for her, she was extremely jealous.
“Don’t think that Ethan takes you seriously just because he spent a hundred million on you. You’re just a plaything to him,” Taylor said sourly. It seemed that only by saying this could she calm down.
Kristen didn’t want to talk to her at first, but when she heard 100 million, she couldn’t help but ask, “What is 100 million?”
When Taylor heard this, she found it funny. “Are you playing dumb with me here? He just spent a hundred million to buy you a female lead in Director William’s movie. What a big deal!”
Kristen looked at her incredulously. “What did you say?”
Taylor cracked a smile. “What? You don’t know? Ethan is so good to you. He did so much and still didn’t let you know?”
Kristen’s mind would recall the strange eyes of Director William during the audition that day, as well as his promised to delay the signing, and he personally came to the signing conference. Are these all done by Ethan?
Kristen couldn’t believe it. She pushed Taylor away and strode out. No matter how Taylor called out to her, she didn’t respond.
She returned to the dining table. Her mood had completely changed. Ethan saw that she had something on her mind, “What’s wrong?”
Kristen stared at him without saying a word.
Ethan noticed her abnormality and quickly put down his bowl and chopsticks.
“If there’s anything you want to say, don’t hide it. Tell me.”
Kristen still did not say anything. After an unknown period of time, she stood up and said, “I’m done eating.” Then, she walked out.
Ethan got up and hurried after her. He grabbed her arm, “What’s wrong with you?”Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
She stared into his eyes and hesitated for a long time before asking the question.
“Did you invest a hundred million in Director William’s movie?”
Ethan narrowed his eyes but did not speak. His silence told Kristen the answer. She broke free from his grasp and turned to leave.
Ethan looked at her back and followed her.
“Listen to my explanation.”
Kristen covered her ears and didn’t want to hear anything.
Ethan took her hand and pulled her into his arms. “Can you listen to my explanation?”
Kristen remained silent and stood motionless like a doll, allowing him to hold her.
“I know you want to act in Director William’s movie, so I’m just fighting for a chance for you.”
“Why didn’t you tell me before?”
“I’m afraid that after you know it, you won’t be willing to go.” After all, what Kristen didn’t want most was relationships. She had always wanted to rely on her own strength.
“You don’t understand at all.” After roaring at Ethan, She ran away.
She did not know how long she had run, all the way until her entire body was exhausted. Only then did she stop and squat down on the side of the road.
Ethan had been following her, watching her from a distance.
Kristen only wanted to run away from him, so she flagged a taxi to her apartment. After entering, she locked the door.
At this moment, the room was pitch-black. She hugged her knees and squatted in the corner alone.
After an unknown period of time, the lights in the room were turned on. She looked up and saw Trisha’s face.
She was surprised. “Why are you here?”
Trisha sized her up. Seeing her bad state, she asked, “I should be the one asking you that.”
Kristen took a deep breath, adjusted her emotions, got up, walked up to Trisha, and checked her body. “Are you all right? Patrick said you stabbed him. What’s going on?”
Trisha’s expression darkened when Patrick was mentioned.
“He can’t blame me for stabbing him in the back. I’m already being polite by not giving him a lesson.”
“Are you all right? Are you hurt?”
Trisha felt a bit guilty at the mention of it.
“It’s nothing serious. I’ve rested here for a while and I’m almost recovered. Why are you here?”
Kristen calmed down and said, “I had a quarrel with Ethan.”
Trisha’s face was full of question. “No, Aren’t you in a contractual relationship? It’s just a transaction. Can it be…”
After a brief pause, Trisha continued, “Fell in love?”
Kristen was stunned for a second and said insincerely, “What are you talking about? How is that possible? I just like him because he is rich and handsome.”
Trisha shook her head.
“Forget it, those involved are confused. You just haven’t figured it out yet.”
Kristen pursed her lips and sat down with Trisha. “You know, I came to Nangania to make a bet with Grandpa. I have to get the role and honor by myself, but Ethan interrupted my plan…”
Kristen sounded displeased. Trisha sat next to her and listened carefully before analyzing the situation for her.
“In fact, I don’t think it’s a big deal! He is your boyfriend. If he doesn’t protect you, who will? He just wants to do his best to help you.”
Of course, Kristen knew his intentions, but his intentions had already gone against her original intention.
“Alright, let’s not think about it. Let’s have a good rest tonight.”
“Will you return to the set tomorrow?”
Kristen pursed her lips. She liked this role very much and wanted to continue playing the part, but when she remembered that Ethan had spent a hundred million buying it for her, she felt uncomfortable.
“You have to think about it carefully. After all, this is not a joke,” Trisha said earnestly. Kristen was lying on the bed, looking at the ceiling. After thinking about it carefully, Trisha’s words seemed to make sense.
That night, Kristen tossed and turned, unable to fall asleep. It was until the late night that she fell asleep.
Ethan stayed up all night until dawn, and cigarette butts were scattered all over the ground. Looking at the window upstairs, He felt a little uncomfortable in his left heart.
