Chapter 60
With that, others didn’t dare to say anything.
Austin and Ethan never saw eye to eye, but they managed to keep things civil on the surface.
Even though Austin had plagiarized |
paper and many in the company knew it, everyone just turned a blind eye.
Now, Austin directly scolded Ethan being too overweening.
Ethan turned around and threw a strong punch at Austin’s face with a cold face.
He said. “You keep saying that Kylie is your sister, but is this how a brother acts? Kylie is only going to marry someone, and she would never be a kept woman!”
Austin was stunned by the punch.
Covering his face, he looked at Ethan, who was defending Kylie with all his heart. Suddenly, he felt a strange sensation, as if from the beginning, they never wanted to admit Kylie’s talents. It was as if the worse Kylie was, and the better Melanie was. the more comfortable they felt in their hearts.
He would never have the same unwavering belief in Kylie as Ethan did.
“Did you Lampards ever truly treat her as a family? Why would Melanie’s need for a blood transfusion concern her? You repeatedly guilt her into donating blood without considering if her body can cope. Since you disdain her, stop bothering her from now on. And you, Austin, you stole my thesis, and now you dare to show your face to me? Did a dog eat your brain
Ethan rarely engaged in heated arguments, and Austin’s constant provocations, both overt and subtle, were something he could easily disregard. But Kylie was his weak spot. He cannot bear to see his little sister whom he had cared for since childhood being slandered or bullied.
“What nonsense are you talking about!” Austin retorted, suddenly at a loss for words.
Stealing Ethan’s paper was something he regretted deeply. He didn’t know what on earth he was thinking back then.
It was hard for him to refute. He thought, ‘However, what makes Ethan condescending? It is only a thesis
Ethan’s lips curled in a mocking smile.
He looked down on Austin
For several days, Kylie didn’t see Trevor..
A few days ago, Zach sent her a message saying Trevor would be on a business trip for a few days.
During these days, Kylie took some time to go back and have dinner with her foster mom,
Then she visited the school to see Hoard, who was busy getting ready for the exams.
Amanda.
She wanted to visit James on set, but he said the filming environment was too rough and she might be uncomfortable, so he. suggested she wait a bit to visit.
Ethan called Kylie, asking her to arrange a meeting with the person she was going to marry.
Thinking about Ethan’s insistence gave Kylie a headache.

She didn’t know how to bring up this matter with Trevor.
Kylie had been quite busy lately, so she made up an excuse to avoid it, and Ethan didn’t push much.
The last painting by Liam was finished today
Based on Liam’s recommendation, Kylie v
This afternoon, she was going shopping with jessie.
back for an interview at the auction house tomorrow,
Jessie and Henry were going to a cocktail party at eight tonight.
When they met, Jessie complained. I really don’t like attending these parties and socializing, but this time the party is inviting us. Even if I don’t want to go, I have to accompany him. Tonight’s party is the engagement celebration for Ken, the youngest son of the Roth family. Do you know who’s attending’s Trevor, the guy we ran into at the restaurant the other sday. He’ll be there too. Trevor and Ken have been friends since they were kids. My husband went to college with them, and they hang out occasionally. But I haven’t met the two of them before”
Hearing the name Trevor from Jessie’s mouth, Kylie was slightly distracted.
Soon, Jessie walked out of the fitting room wearing a custom–made dress.
Jessie had fair skin and a cute, soothing smile. Paired with a perfectly tailored white dress, she looked youthful, almost like a little fairy
“How do I look? Jessie knew her figure wasn’t sexy, so she always envied Kylie.
The dress she chose lacked a bit of femininity.
Fortunately, she knew Henry liked girls with her kind of personality.
Otherwise, she’d definitely be anxious about her figure.
Kylie was impressed. “It’s really pretty, and it suits you perfectly.
“Then I’ll go with this one.” Jessie twirled twice in front of the fitting mirror.
Even though Jessie didn’t have a stunning figure, she was still a natural when it came to wearing clothes. As long as she chose the right style, she was a real beauty.
After silently praising herself, Jessie suddenly looked past Kylie.
Seeing Jessie suddenly look behind her, Kylie also turned to see what had caught her attention.
On the 60–inch screen, Trevor was being interviewed by a female host..
“Thank you, Mr. Walters, for doing this interview. But can I ask one more question! Are you currently single?”
The man paused for a few seconds and then nodded slightly.
Although he didn’t answer verbally, the nod meant he was single now.
Kylie raised an eyebrow.
The female host was clearly delighted to get this answer. “It’s amazing that someone as accomplished as Mr. Walters is still single. Could you tell us what you’re looking for in a partner?”
“As long as I like her, that’s enough, the man answered decisively

“Holy crap!” Jessie gasped in surprise, pointing outside the shop. We’ve been seeing Trevor quite frequently lately, haven’t we? Kylic, look, isn’t that Trevor? He seems to be with the TV hos who interviewed him!”
Kylie immediately looked over.
There they were, standing at the entrance dcrestaurant, having an animated conversation as they walked in.
Kylie even noticed a slight smile on rec
sally blank face.
It was clear he admired the female host.
“I just remembered who that female host is. It seems like it’s Sophia, the star from my husband’s college, and apparently the campus beauty. She probably knows Trevor, and maybe they’re just using the interview as an excuse. Who knows, they might have been secretly involved all along,” Jessie got excited about uncovering a juicy piece of gossip.
Kylie thought. She truly has a knack for being a detective! See what she’s found out
After discovering that Trevor had someone he liked, Kylie couldn’t quite describe her feelings. She decided it was time to have a good talk with Noreen and plan ahead.
She could tell her brother that even though she had a lightning marriage, slie got out of it just as quickly.
Jessie called Henry to confirm her suspicions.
But it wasn’t Henry who answered, it was his secretary.
“Mr. Hawkins is in a meeting and can’t take the call right now,”
The woman’s voice on the other end was sweet and soft, the kind that could melt any man’s heart.
Jessie’s expression froze. “Has Henry changed secretaries?
Tm Mr. Hawkins’s wife Have him call me back after the meeting
