Chapter 21 You’re Not a Substitute
Through his investigation, Ethan only knew that Kristen met Gavin in the cafe. He didn’t know about anything else.
He did not doubt Kristen’s explanation. After all, according to his investigation, Kristen had lived in Tornzia since she was a child, and her family background was very ordinary, so it was very unlikely for her to know a rich family like the Oliver family.
“Of course, we only met for ten minutes. He thought my image was suitable for their brand, but I was not popular enough, so he refused. But Gavin said…”
Before she could finish her sentence, Ethan interrupted her.
“Enough, I don’t want to hear you talk to me about other men again. Kristen, if you want any endorsement, let Jacob know, and TNK Group will manage to make it for you.”
“ah! It won’t work! We agreed that we won’t use any outlandish tactics!”
There was nothing Ethan could do, but he couldn’t understand what this little ancestor was thinking.
Kristen had finally managed to coax him. She wrapped her arms around his neck and smiled sweetly.
“You’re not angry anymore, are you? If you’re not, let’s eat. I’ve already eaten boxed lunch at work for seven days, and I want to eat a big meal now.”
Ethan warned, “Kristen, from now on, you cannot see another man behind my back.”
“I know!”
Kristen stood up and promised him. The man then took her hand and left the villa in satisfaction.
They came to a five-star French restaurant. To shirk suspicion, Kristen unfastened her seat belt and looked through her bag, only to find that she had forgotten to wear a mask.
She frowned and said to Ethan sitting in the driver’s seat, “You go up and order first, I will go up later.”
Ethan, “…”
“Are you so worried that others will see us together?”
“Although I am a B-list artist, maybe a paparazzi is squatting somewhere to shoot. Just go! It’s not good for either of us once we make a scandal.”
Ethan had no choice but to get off the car.
Others were eager to have something to do with him, but Kristen should want to stay away from him as much as possible outside.
A few minutes later, Kristen walked into the dining room.
However, the paparazzi did not meet them. Instead, they met Taylor and Jason.
Both of them had just arrived at the restaurant and turned around to see Kristen’s face.
Taylor’s smile suddenly froze, and then she said sarcastically, “Oh, isn’t this Kristen? Tsk tsk, how dare you come here with your status?”
Kristen sneered. “If a dog like you can come, why can’t I?”
“You… how interesting, Kristen, why are you pretending? This meal costs more than 100, 000 yuan. Don’t you know who you are? You haven’t received any remuneration. Do you have enough money to pay for it later?”
“It’s none of your business. Miss Davis, just take care of yourself.”
“Well, sister, don’t be angry.” Jason looked at Kristen playfully. “Kristen, it’s not just money that can work. It’s hard to book a private room. Why don’t we eat together? This meal is on me.”
“No, I’ll be too disgusted to eat just by looking at your two faces.”
With that, Kristen reported the room number to the waiter next to her. The waiter led her there directly.
Taylor was livid by Kristen’s words. She furrowed her brows and asked, “She booked a private room?”
It should be noted that this restaurant’s private room costs at least 100, 000 yuan. Even if you had money, it was not available to ordinary people.
“Someone must have brought her here!” Jason was confused as well. He turned around and asked, “Who booked the private room that woman went into just now?”
Wearing a professional smile, the receptionist replied, “I’m sorry, but this is the privacy of our customers, so we can’t reveal it.”Content (C) Nôv/elDra/ma.Org.
“Ha, does she have a backer? I want to see who is behind Kristen!”
Taylor laughed coldly and walked straight to the private room Kristen had just entered. Jason followed her.
“Miss, sorry, guests are eating in the private room. You can’t…”
“Who dares to stop me? Do you know who I am? I’m Miss Oliver of the Davis family!”
Taylor pushed away the waiter who had stopped her and opened the door to the private room.
When she saw the man in a black suit opposite Kristen, her face was full of shock!
Ethan Wharton?
It was Ethan Wharton!
Kristen frowned slightly while she was having her meal and her mood soured.
She had not expected Taylor to be so rude as to barge into the private room.
“Get out.” Ethan’s deep voice sounded.
Taylor came back to her senses and was still shocked.
She thought Kristen must have found some financial backer to get her out of the police station when the crew started filming.
She had thought that the person in this private room was her backer, but who would have thought that it was Ethan Wharton!
No, there must be no relationship between the two of them.
It must be that Kristen was seducing Ethan and trying every means to make him take her here for dinner…
Shameless bitch!
“Mr. Wharton, I’m sorry. I didn’t know you were here. I just met Kristen and remembered I had something to ask her, so I barged into the private room.”
Kristen put down the cutlery in her hand and said unwillingly, “I know. If you have something to say, you can say it tomorrow. Don’t disturb us when we’re having dinner. You can leave now.”
When Taylor saw her attitude, she felt even more disgusted. “Bitch!”
She clenched her fists and walked over unwillingly.
Straightening up her emotions, she smiled charmingly and said in an affectedly soft voice, “Kristen, don’t say that. It’s a rare opportunity to meet you. Mr. Wharton, if you don’t mind, let’s have dinner together, shall we?”
“I do mind.”
The man’s deep voice rang out, and Taylor’s expression froze. The smile on her face was about to disappear, and Jason pulled her back.
“Sister, let’s go.”
“Then I will let you get back to dinner.”
Taylor glared fiercely at Kristen. Her eyes were so intense that she wanted to kill her. Only then did she step on her high heels and leave.
The waiter apologized profusely, and Kristen did not pursue the matter further.
After Taylor left, Kristen sighed. “Taylor likes you so much. When she saw me having dinner with you, she probably thought that I was seducing you. It’s only been a few days for her to keep her nose clean, now she’s probably going to make trouble again!”
She had guessed Taylor’s thoughts correctly, and she looked at the man in front of her with a resentful gaze.
“It’s all your fault for being a playboy all over the place, thus causing me so much trouble.”
A smile flashed across Ethan’s cold face when he heard this.
“Relax, if something is to happen, I will still be here.”
Kristen huffed coldly. No matter how much trouble she had to go through, she couldn’t give up on the person she had chosen. After all, she loves Ethan Wharton so much.
She took a sip of the drink and seemed to think of something.
She then asked, “Speaking of which, Taylor is pretty and comes from a good family. She’s the Miss Oliver of the Davis Family. If you two get married, your group will have a powerful backer. Aren’t you tempted at all?”
Ethan’s face darkened. “Do I need to rely on a woman?”
