Chapter 75
Chris and Claude rushed forward. One grabbed Kylie’s wrist, while the other blocked her path completely.
Trying to imprison me?” Kylie raised an eyebrow, looking coldly at Claude standing in front of her.
“It’s for your own good. Stay home. I’ll arrange for you to meet Zach. Once that’s settled and you get the money, you can do whatever you want. Then, you’ll also be my sister,” Claude said with a stony face.
Chris turned to Claude. “To ensure everything goes smoothly, I’ll get some drugs.”
“Alright.” Claude nodded. He glanced at his watch.
He thought. “With a company full of people waiting for me and Dad, I need to return quickly. There are countless urgent matters to handle. As for Kylie, she’d better cooperate; my patience is wearing thin. If needed, I’d use drugs on both Kylie
and Zach?
Kylie’s eyes turned icy. She pulled out her phone from her bag and brightened the call screen for them to see. Zach just heard all of your planning loud and clear. Want to discuss it with him directly?
Claude and Chris paled. “Kylie they shouted in unison. If this weren’t a standalone house and they had no neighbors, their voices would probably be loud enough for everyone upstairs and downstairs to hear clearly.
Samuel overheard their conversation, his face going pale. Just then, Zach’s voice came through Kylie’s phone.
Trying to trick me, huh? Even as a mere assistant, I have plenty of ways to deal with you. What’s the point of picking on woman like Ms. Thompson? I’ve recorded everything you just said about harming me. This isn’t over with the Lampard family” Zach’s voice was chilling and threatening
Kylie knew the family well, so after finishing her call with Trevor, she dialed Zach to let him hear their plotting. If they were/ making such detailed plans, the target should know. She saw it as a good deed.
“Zach, let us explain. It’s not like that. Can we meet and talk?” Claude explained urgently.
“Ms. Thompson, should I call the police for you now?” Zach asked politely, surprising everyone with his respect for Kylie.
“No need to call the police. We’re her family; we won’t harm her. She’s free to go wherever she wants. We never intended to restrict her freedom, Claude replied immediately.
In front of Kylie, Claude had always put on airs, but now he was completely humble. He realized the Lampard family couldn’t endure another blow. If the police got involved, those already eyeing them would pounce at the slightest opportunity. He thought, I had underestimated Kylie
Kylie walked out under the watchful eyes of the Lampard family After she left, their faces were heavy with concem.
“Why does something feel off? Why was Zach so polite to Kylie Austin pondered, furrowing his brow. He had a nagging feeling they’d regret how they treated her today,
“We’ve hit a dead end with Kylie and now clearly offended Zach. Ive got to find another solution quickly,” Claude sighed. deeply.
Samuel’s face was dark with anger. “Ungrateful girl!”
“What do we do now? Kylie is so cunning. And Zach must hate us now. Why did she call him and let him hear our conversation? Had she planned this all along? Zach stood up for her, yet she insists she’s not involved with him,” Melanie murmured.
“She’s really turned against us. Doesn’t want the Lampard family to be good. When have we ever mistreated her for her to

act like this?” Chris was furious.

Austin thought back to what Kylie had said. “Maybe we haven’t been fair to her Looking back, since Kylie returned home, they were always critical, never quite acknowledging her worth the truth was, Kylie had been raised well, was polite, and tried hard with them. The thought made Austin uneasy
Claude said coldly. “Regardless of how we’ve treated her, she’s part of the Lampard family. Instead of helping us, she’s kicking us while we’re down–that’s on her.”
“Claude’s right. Let’s see how long she stays smig” Chris narrowed his eyes, planning to set things straight with James once back on set. He believed James and his family had led Kylie astray and resolved to teach him a lesson.
Melanie looked cautiously at Austin. “Austin, are you upset with me? If I hadn’t stayed home, maybe Kylie would’ve stayed and wouldn’t be so hostile toward us. She couldn’t allow their parents or brothers to go soft on Kylie.
Austin looked at Melame’s teary eyes and felt guilty for doubting her earlier. It’s not your fault. You’re my sister, and you’ll always be my sister. As for Kylie, let’s just leave her be.”
“Yeah, just forget about her!” Chris was still fuming, “She’ll come crawling back eventually after she’s been used up and tossed aside. The thought that Kylie was his real sister made him uncomfortable. He thought. She is such an embarrassment
Just a few minutes after leaving the Lampard residence, Kylie got a call from Trevor. He asked directly, “Did you really tell the Lampard family they should give you 30 million dollars and then you’d come to my bed?”
Kylie slammed on the brakes, her face flushing with embarrassment at being caught in her bluff. She hadn’t thought it through, forgetting that Zach might have been with Trevor, overbearing everything she said.
“I was just messing with them, Mr. Walters. Don’t take it seriously, I know you have someone you like Kylie took a deep breath to keep her voice calm and composed. She thought, This situation is beyond awkward.
Trevor seemed to chuckle, his laughter faint through the phone. Kylie thought it might have been the wind.
“Someone I like? News to me.” Trevor seemed amused and struck up a conversation with her.
“I saw Sophia interview you the other day and heard rumors you two dated in college. Mr. Walters, I’m really sorry, I didn’t?) know you had someone special when I agreed to Mrs. Walters proposal. I’m heading over to Starlit Villa now, let’s talk about the divorce details there” Kylie focused on driving while honestly discussing things with Trevor.
Trevor’s voice turned slightly cold. “Sophia and I aren’t involved”
Kylie didn’t know how to respond, thinking. If they aren’t involved, why attend Gary’s engagement party together? Maybe they are just having a rough patch as a couple
