Chapter 55 You’re Not Even Qualified to Be a Substitute
Kristen watched helplessly as the car sped toward her. Her brain stopped working and she hurriedly dodged. In the next second, Taylor turned the steering wheel and changed directions.
Taylor screeched to a halt and the window rolled down. She looked at Kristen. “I didn’t mean to bump into you. Look at how scared you are.”
As she spoke, her eyes were filled with contempt.
Kristen’s eyes darkened. “You’re so shameless.”
Taylor opened the door and got out of the car, walking toward her. She looked at her and smiled rudely. “Kristen , So what if I am shameless? Compared with you, I am much better. After all, I can still have a real name, and you are just a substitute. The person Ethan likes is not you, but a woman named Scarlett. He chose you only because you have a similar face.”
This was a little heartbreaking.
If Kristen hadn’t known about Scarlett, she might have been provoked by Taylor. But at this moment, she just smiled faintly and retorted, “What’s wrong with being a substitute? You’re not even qualified to be a substitute.”
Taylor’s expression turned cold. “Who wants to be a substitute? You’re the only idiot.”
“Are you done talking? Why do you care so much?” After that, Kristen was about to leave and ignore her, but Taylor grabbed her unexpectedly.Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.
“Don’t think you can act willfully with Ethan. It’s just a quick thing for me to make trouble for you.”
“Let her go.” Ethan stood at an unknown time and spoke sternly.
Taylor was stunned for a second when she saw him and she tightened her grip. Kristen broke free from her grip and said, “Miss Davis, I’m afraid there’s something wrong with your brain. Go to the hospital and have a good look. Don’t run out like a mad dog and bite someone.”
Taylor wanted to say something more, but Ethan was already in front of her and protected Kristen.
“The Davis Family is already struggling at death. Haven’t you learned a lesson?”
Taylor didn’t understand. In her opinion, after her family had cooperated with the Collins Group, they had solved the family crisis. However, she didn’t know that all of this was just an illusion.
Ethan said coldly, “In a week, the Davis family will no longer exist in the Nangania.”
With that, Ethan carried Kristen into his exclusive black Rolls-Royce and drove off. Taylor stomped her feet angrily, but she didn’t realize he was serious.
The atmosphere in the car was gloomy.
Kristen held Ethan’s hand tightly, “Are you all right?”
She was referring to the death of Mr. Old Collins. Ethan did not reply to her and just looked straight at her, “Don’t mind what she said.”
Kristen said with a relaxed expression, “Don’t worry, I know. It’s not the first time I know that I’m a substitute…”
Before she could finish her words, a warm pressed down on her and blocked what she wanted to say. She closed her eyes and enjoyed this moment of warmth.
After a long while, Ethan released her and said seriously “How many times do I have to tell you that you are not a substitute?”
He spoke in a magnetic voice, and every word fell into Kristen’s heart. He said that she was not a substitute.
She looked up at him and nodded. She smiled. “I know, so I’m not angry with what she said.”
Ethan was relieved to hear her words.
He was really worried that she would be angry with him because of this.
“Alright, no matter when you just need to trust me.”
Ethan promised solemnly. Kristen nodded heavily. “I understand.”
The car slowly drove into the villa where they lived. Seeing them come back together, Aunt Kate showed a big smile, “Sir, Miss Healey, dinner is ready.”
Ethan pulled Kristen to the dining table, which was full of her favorite dishes. She looked at him in surprise, “How do you know my taste?”
Ethan answered mysteriously, “This is a secret.”
Kristen didn’t ask further, but she felt that she had been taken seriously.
After dinner, they went upstairs. Ethan took her to the music room. She was very happy to see this piano that Ethan bought from Yobhel at a cost of 60 million.
Ethan sat in front of the piano and opened the lid. She asked, “What are you doing?”
Ethan stretched out his slender hands and placed them on the keys. Then the “Dream of Love” slowly rang out.
Kristen looked at his hands dancing on the piano keys in surprise. She had not expected he could play the piano so well.
After the song ended, Ethan looked up at her. “This is for you.”
Kristen replied with a smile. She sat down and asked, “May I join you?”
As a result, they cooperated to play the “Dream of Love” again, and the beautiful music echoed in their mind for a long time.
“You have to promise me that you will only play it for me,” Kristen said like a spoiled child. Ethan looked at her affectionately, “I will only play it for you.”
Kristen couldn’t hide the smile in her eyes. She got up and kissed his side face.
However, at this moment, the phone in Kristen’s pocket rang. She quickly came to her senses and took out the phone. When she saw Yobhel’s phone number displayed on the screen, she said to Ethan. “I’ll answer it.”
Therefore, she got up and walked out of the music room.
Kristen didn’t answer the phone until she went back to her room.
“Why do you want to call me?”
Yobhel, who was on the other end of the line, hurriedly asked, “Why did you take so long to answer my phone?”
Kristen had no choice but to find an excuse. “I just had something to deal with.”
He didn’t ask too much. “Grandpa will come to Nangania next week to see you.”
Kristen was stunned. “Grandpa is coming to Nangania. When will this happen?”
“Well, next week, at Mr. Bieber’s business gathering. I’ll send you your invitation card. Remember to come at that time.”
“But now I…” Kristen was about to say that her status was not suitable for such an occasion, but he didn’t allow her to refuse.
