Chapter 35
Kylie emerged from her bedroom two minutes later, clutching bag from the convenience store. Trevor was puzzled by her
adion
Tve packed a few herbal teabags,” Kylie said, handing the bag to Trevor. “I made them from an old family recipe, they’re supposed to help you sleep. I haven’t made a lot. You can start with these
She’d read countless books at Felicia’s place and could whip up scient remedies with her eyes closed. She’d even prepared the medicinal soak for Noreen’s feet, which had done wonders for her health.
“More herbal tea Trevor took the bag, catching a faint, medicinal scent. He realized Kylie had stopped him just to give him the herbal tea.
Different kinds of herbal tea have different effects. This blend t’ve made is for better sleep. You won’t find
res, Kylie
said, stifling a yawn. It’s getting late, and I’m off to bed, Goodnight, Mr. Walters. With that, she returned to her bedroom, her fatigue evident.
Of course, she wasn’t exaggerating. Felicia had mentioned those ancient books were rare treasures, not found anywhere else, and their contents were a secret to the outside world.
Trevor’s eyes deepened as he thought. She still hasn’t asked for my help. Is she too shy to bring it up? So she’s giving me a gift first?
He took the bag and retreated to his bedroom. Half an hour later, Trevor emerged with an herbal teabag in hand and headed downstairs to brew a new cup. Soon, a gentle medicinal fragrance filled the air, not overpowering like a concoction that would make one wince just by smelling it.
“Will it work?” Trevor murmured doubtfully. He recalled her massage techniques, hoping the tea would be as effective as her healing touch, with minimal effects like other health teas. If it truly worked for the sake of these teabags and his grandmother, he would help her this time.
The cup of hot herbal tea gradually emptied. Trevor returned upstairs to his bedroom. As he lay in bed, whether it was a placebo effect or not, his insomnia seemed to have eased significantly. It seemed the herbal tea had done its job.
The next morning at six, Kylie woke up and checked the online comments about her situation.
After a night of brewing, fueled by the Lampard family’s PR and the help of paid posters, public opinion had completely shifted, with everyone urging her to make a public apology.
As she was about to edit and post a video on her Instagram and other accounts, a voice message from Kevin popped up on her phone. “Kylie, have you seen Instagram? It looks like the Lampard family’s PR is gunning for you! Melanie is actually part of the Lampard family,” Kevin said, his voice tense.
“This has gotten way bigger than we thought. Don’t be scared, Kylie. I’m on it. These two jerks are shameless, not only denying everything but also trying to smear your name,” Kevin continued, anger lacing his words.
After listening to Kevin’s message, Kylie replied that she wasn’t afraid, and then she began to edit and post the video and
text.
On Kevin’s end, after sending the voice message, he cursed several times, only to be repeatedly tapped on the back of his head. Kevin yelped and turned to see his grandfather, Steve, who had tapped him.
“Watch your mouth early in the morning. Your parents aren’t in Jardora right now, so I’m the one who’ll discipline you!” Steve said sternly.

one who feels the pain. I didn’t curse
Kevin winced and said, “I’m your only grandson. If you hit me too hard, you’ll be the o for no reason, someone’s bullying Kylie, and it ticks me off, Kevin explained.
“Kylie‘ The girl who can restore the antiques you mentioned a few days ago?” Steve was used to Kevin’s dramatics and didn’t take it too seriously.
“Yes, that’s her, Grandpa. Let me tell you. I think she might be even better than you,” Kevin insisted, feeling he wasn’t exaggerating. He remembered Liam saying that he had met many restorers who seemed arrogant but were just average in skill, not comparable to Kylie.
Liam once asked who Kylie’s mentor was, and Kylie only said that she learned from an old lady in the countryside
Steve didn’t take it seriously. Kevin had always been unruly, and there were few people around him who could seriously. His praise for someone was always based on his personal preference.
Moreover, the idea that someone so young could be stronger than many restorers in the industry was even harder to believe coming from his grandson, Steve waved his hand and said, “Get out of here and stop bothering me, you rascal”
“Grandpa, I get up so early every day and run so far to catch the bus; my legs are getting thick. Show some sympathy and give me back my car keys Kevin took the opportunity to ask Steve for his car keys.
Steve didn’t even flinch an eyebrow. “Get lost. Fearing more hits, Kevin ran away quickly.
At the Lampard residence, Melanie wasn’t an early bird. But she was worried about the online situation, so she set an alarm to wake up early.
She was worried that Kylie might still have some evidence. However, the current situation was all under their control, with the most professional PR and legal teams. Dealing with a single Kylie should be a piece of cake. But she and Craig were indeed secretly involved, which made her feel uneasy.
She didn’t know what Craig was hesitating about and why he hadn’t done as she said. She dialed Craig’s number. “Why haven’t you posted on Instagram yet? As long as you deny our relationship, this matter can end.” Melanie questioned.
Craig had been up all night, staring at his phone and waiting for a call from Kylie. But instead of receiving a call from Kylie. Melanie called him.
“My company is aware of this matter and told me not to come to work for now. I might lose my job because of this. I can’t casually post on Instagram to deny it. I need to see what Kylie will do next. She has always loved me and can’t really want to corner me,” Craig said, feeling that he and Kylie still had a chance
He thought as long as he wasn’t caught in bed with Melanie, he could make Kylie believe him again.
Melanie rolled her eyes. “This has nothing to do with your post on Instagram. Doesn’t she always listen to you? After this is over, you can figure out how to coax her, right? Do you want to see my reputation ruined by her?”
Craig was indeed reluctant to see Melanie suffer. “Well Okay”
coax and talk to.
In fact, Melanie was right. He could coax Kylie later. After all, Kylie was easy to c
Kylie looked at the unsuccessful Instagram post and saw that the other accounts were the same, all unsuccessful. She had been reported and restricted from posting anything. Her face became serious. They’ll use any low tactic to shut me up.
Kylie inhaled sharply, trying to steady her nerves. Just then, her phone buzzed with an incoming call–Ethan’s name flashing
on the screen.
“Kylie, what’s the hold–up with the video?” Ethan’s voice was laced with concern.
Chapter 35
Kylie informed Ethan that her account was blocked and that she couldn’t post anything for the time being. There was a pause as Ethan processed this, his silence heavy with thought..
