The Doted Lady Is So Wild

Chapter 18 On a Business Trip



If others knew that Kristen was Ethan’s woman, they would probably offer her a lot of TV and film projects and endorsements.

Ethan smiled with resignation and pulled her into his embrace, “Kristen, isn’t it good to have a backer?”

“Not good.”

Kristen frowned when she smelled the perfume on him.

She broke free from Ethan’s embrace.

“Don’t hold me. Go hold Taylor. Be her backer.”

Ethan’s eyes flashed with a smile.

“You’re unhappy? You told me to keep my distance from you.”

“But I didn’t ask you to sit next to her. Don’t you know that she likes you? You two are so close to each other, or does Mr. Wharton want to find a new little lover?” Kristen said sourly.

The smile on Ethan’s face deepened. He pinched Kristen’s cheeks.

“What are you talking about?”

“Hmph.”

“What about you? Why are you so close to Iszard? Do you even play games together? Huh?”

Kristen suddenly felt a little guilty, “I was just trying to piss you off. Forget it, forget it. We’re even. You can’t get close to Taylor again. Even if you want to find a new little lover, you can’t choose her.”

She and Taylor were irreconcilable, and what happened today must have something to do with that woman!

“Find a new lover? What do you mean by that?” A trace of displeasure flashed across Ethan’s face as he warned, “I won’t have a new lover. Stay away from Iszard from now on, otherwise, the person to be changed will be the male lead of your TV show.”

The corners of Kristen’s mouth twitched. She rolled her eyes at the arrogant capitalist.

“I understand. By the way, Mr. Wharton, you’re so busy. Why have you come to see me today?”

Hearing that, Ethan looked at his watch, “I’m going on a business trip today. About a week.”

Hearing this, Kristen felt a little upset.

So, he did come here to see her today because they had to separate.

“What time will your plane leave?”

“At six o’clock, you’ve been tired all day. You don’t have to send me off. Ask Anna to take you to dinner later.”

“Oh.” Kristen nodded.

Kristen took out her phone and checked the time. It was 5:30 p. m. She frowned slightly, “Then I won’t see you off. You should leave now, or you will miss the plane, I’ll go meet Anna!”

Just as she was about to turn around, the man grabbed her hand and said in an overbearing tone, “I’ll let the crew have one day off the day I come back. Go pick me up.”

Kristen was surprised. How could this happen?

Ethan lowered his eyes and kissed her white forehead gently.

“Take good care of yourself and wait for me to come back.”

A swift smile crossed Kristen’s face and she planted a light kiss on the man’s lips.

“All right, I need to go.”

She got out of the car. For some reason, her heart was beating a little faster.

They were just sexual partners but why did they look like an affectionate couple now?

Jacob and Anna waited outside until Kristen finally got out of the car.

The two exchanged glances and left with their respective bosses.

Seeing Ethan’s car leave first, Kristen looked glum in the passenger seat.

Anna said playfully, “Kristen, what’s wrong? Are you unhappy to see Mr. Wharton leave?”

“Nonsense! I was just thinking about what we’ll eat later!”

Kristen glared at Anna, but she was confused.

Ethan had often gone on business trips last year and sometimes for a month. At that time, she had felt rather carefree, but now she felt a little empty.

“That won’t do. Kristen, you’re here in Nangania for your career!”

She sat up straight and said to Anna, “Taylor must have been behind what happened today. Send someone to investigate the matter in private.”

Although Mr. Scott had said that he would give her an explanation tomorrow, she knew that Taylor would not leave any clear evidence!

“Kristen, don’t worry. Mr. Wharton has already asked Jacob to investigate this matter in private. I believe that the results will come out soon.”

Kristen nodded.

The next day.

As expected, after some investigation, Mr. Scott found out that it was Cynthia Cherkis, a member of the lighting crew who had drugged the horse’s food at noon yesterday. This led to the horse losing control when Kristen got on the horse.

“Mr. Scott, I did this. I’ll resign right away.”

Cynthia said flatly. Just as she was about to leave, Kristen stood up and stopped her.

“Cynthia Cherkis, is it? Why did you do that?”

Kristen narrowed her eyes. The woman looked at her with disgust.

“I’m a fan of Jason, and I’ve always hated you. I don’t want to see a disgusting woman like you here. I hope something happens to you.”

Mr. Scott also walked over with an awkward expression, “Kristen, that’s right. We’ve checked her Twitter. She’s indeed a fan of Jason. We’ve also found the surveillance footage of her drugging the horse’s food.”

“Alas, I see. Kristen, you can only blame yourself for trying to seduce my younger brother. Otherwise, you wouldn’t have caused so much trouble.”

Taylor sat on the sofa and mocked her.

She casually toyed with her nails with a smile in her eyes.

Hearing this, the people around despised her more or less. Kristen ignored her sarcasm, “Taylor, have you known Cynthia before?”

When Taylor heard this, she was confused.

“I don’t know her.”

“What about now? Are you on good terms with each other in the crew?”

Taylor’s face changed and she stood up impatiently, “Kristen, what do you mean? I’ve already said that I don’t know this lighting director. Do you think that I am her accomplice?”

Kristen smiled faintly and gave Anna a look. Anna immediately took out a piece of paper from her bag.

Kristen took the piece of paper and handed it to Mr. Scott. She walked slowly to Taylor.

In a cold voice, she asked, “You don’t know each other? Then I would like to ask, why did Miss Davis transfer 500 thousand dollars to Cynthia yesterday?”

Taylor’s heart skipped a beat.Belonging to NôvelDrama.Org.

“Something happened to Cynthia’s family yesterday. I accidentally heard her on the phone and learned about it. I lent her the money.”

“Miss Davis is kind-hearted. You don’t know her, but you lent her 500 thousand dollars without hesitation.”

“Yes, my mother is sick and we need money for surgery. Miss Davis is so kind and she lent me money. I am very grateful to her. That’s the story. Mr. Scott, can I leave now?”

Kristen looked at Cynthia with a smile, “Miss Cherkis, your new bracelet is not bad. It’s worth ten or twenty thousand dollars, and the clothes you are wearing are all new, aren’t they? You are usually very simple, but why are you suddenly so extravagant? Didn’t you just say that something bad happened to your family?”

“I…”

Cynthia’s calm face looked panicked now. She clenched her fingers and her heart beat wildly.

The staff of the lighting group also felt that Kristen’s words made sense.

That’s right, Cynthia was usually plainly dressed, but today she was different.

Everyone seemed to have an idea.

Mr. Scott was a little angry, “Cynthia, what’s going on?”

Kristen glanced at Cynthia and sat down in the chair.

She said lightly, “Mr. Wharton told me yesterday that I had to report this incident to him. He will punish this person severely. Do you think that you can get away with your resignation now that the truth has been exposed?”
