87 Chapter 87: I Know Everything

At that moment, her mobile phone suddenly lit up, indicating that she had received a text message.

"I ordered goose liver sauce for you. Come on," Aiden probed.

Kylie's lips instinctively went down in disgust. She bowed her head and replied: "How did you know I would be in this restaurant?"

"I know everything," he replied coolly.

Kylie anxiously looked around the restaurant, but could not find Ethan.

Although she was not sure whether he really knew everything, Kylie could be certain that he was always keeping an eye on her.

"Who are you looking for?" Aiden interrupted her search. His handsome face was puzzled.

"I was just looking to see if there's any paparazzi..." Kylie smiled and asked: "You having dinner with me... won't Khloe be jealous?"

"She knows... and she asked me to persuade you. Kylie, this scandal has had a great impact on you and the company. You should endure it first, but I will help you get back on your feet once these things are over."

"Don't you believe that I'm not guilty?" Kylie smiled, and the dimples on her cheeks made her look more attractive.

"I believe you...but..." Aiden put down his knife and fork. "Grandfather is very angry... If you really want to have a better position in the Parker family. I suggest you change your job."

"Oh? Grandpa also browses Instagram?" Kylie scooped a spoonful of foie gras into her mouth, then, realizing her mistake, she suddenly became elegant. Aiden didn't know what to make of her.

He bowed his head and said: "Khloe came home that day, and updated her Instagram, just..."

"Just tell the other members of the family." Kylie nodded, her eyes mocking.

"Kylie, don't misunderstand Khloe, she didn't mean to ruin you. At that time, she cried when she browsed Instagram. I forced her to tell me. I didn't know that Grandpa and Dad were drinking coffee in the living room."

"You don't have to explain it to me." Kylie shrugged. Her smile was as sweet as spring.

***

At eight that night, the conference hall at Garcia Entertainment was filled with people from various media sources.

They were not particularly interested in the private life of a small artist such as herself; they came because the incident's hero was William.

If the video was true, it would also prove fatal for William.

At 8:05, Kylie appeared at the door to the conference room. She bowed and took a step forward.

"Kylie, are you the woman in the video?"

"Kylie, are you really relying on a male star to become famous?"

"Kylie, you have been a part of Garcia for five years now, and you have never made a difference. Do you hope to increase your popularity with this incident?"

The scene was suddenly a mess, and the public relations team had to try to maintain order. Finally, the people calmed down and gave Kylie the opportunity to explain:

"First of all, I apologize for the trouble and injury caused by this scandal. Moreover, I recorded the video, and the black girl in the video is me. But the man is not a film star; he just looks a lot like someone we know. It was purely my decision, and has nothing to do with the company, or The Tea Maiden crew."

When Kylie finished, the crowd was immediately noisy again.

They had never seen anyone like Kylie take the initiative to admit their mistakes. Other artists had always defended themselves to the very end, even when the evidence was conclusive.

Kylie was relieved and thought that it was all over. She didn't expect that Laurence would have more planned for her.

He asked the department manager, who was responsible for Kylie, to go on stage, and say in front of everyone: "I hope this is the last time. I hope that you can improve. From here on out, behave yourself."

The implication was that Kylie was always doing this kind of thing.

Laurence, as a father, was very cold and aloof.

Kylie did not respond, but she respectfully bowed to the media, then turned on her heel, and walked out the back door.

All of a sudden, the Internet was filled with condemning comments.

Originally, Kylie's style had not been particularly well-regarded. In this case, those who only looked at the surface of things were even angrier. Even Peaking Pictures thought how ridiculous it was to smash the opponent in this way.

When Ethan emerged from his office, he heard some of the news. He looked to Elliot for information. Elliot told him the story, then asked: "Lord Ethan, do we need to help Madame?"

"No hurry," Ethan replied in a low voice. He added that he believed in Kylie.

He had to get permission from her if he wanted to help. Besides, she had vowed that she could handle it, and he wanted to see what she would do.

Of course, he had a responsibility to protect his woman, but she wasn't weak, and he knew that no one could bully her.

Because of the scandal, Garcia Entertainment was once again in the limelight. Although this wasn't helping their reputation, it was better than being forgotten.

Laurence was now getting the popularity he wanted, while Khloe was also achieving her goal of crushing Kylie.

Director Johnson called Kylie on the phone, to inform her that the extra part he had originally added for her was now canceled, due to the fact that the scandal was affecting their ratings.

Almost all the headlines on the Internet were about Kylie. Comments flew from everywhere: "Her performance is shit," "Her character is shameful," "That unrepentant woman..."

At the Parkers, old Mr. Parker was furious after watching the live broadcast and resultantly broke an antique vase from the Qing Dynasty. He also threatened to break both her legs if she ever dared to step into the Parker house.

Kylie, relatively quiet about the whole affair, stood in the bathroom, and carefully did her hair. She was calm because she knew without a doubt that what she had bear would soon be over.

But for now, she would have to be as inconspicuous as a street mouse...

"Excuse me. You are in my way." The cleaning lady moped the floor around where she stood several times, then even wiped Kylie's feet.

"You're really disgusting, so there's no need to put on makeup. No one will invite you to their set. You only know how to lure a man. Bitch."
