Chapter 196 Support
Ethan’s face sank when he heard how unpleasant Wendy’s words were.
How dare she slandered Kristen like this!
Ethan raised his eyebrows and asked, “Who are you?”
Wendy’s face stiffened. She probably never expected that someone wouldn’t recognize her.
Kristen smiled and introduced themself. “This is Mrs. Riordan. Mrs. Riordan used to be a movie queen more than ten years ago!”
Kristen deliberately emphasized the words “ten years ago”. She would not take the initiative to provoke others unless others attacked her. There was no need for her to be kind to this senior.
“Is that so?”
Ethan raised an eyebrow, “Ten years ago? Aren’t you out of fashion now?”
Wendy’s smile froze on her face. She’s out of fashion?
Even in the entertainment industry, where talented people came out in large numbers, Kristen had to call her senior. It was rude.
Kristen tried not to laugh and corrected him seriously. “Don’t talk like that. Mrs. Riordan is still acting.”
“Is that so? I haven’t seen her before. It seems that the movie queen was not good enough back then.”
Ethan attacked with his tongue and held Kristen’s hand, saying, “Come, let’s go eat something.”
Yvette was furious. She hated the two of them for slandering her mother in public.
“Kristen, we’re still filming. Even if you have someone to rely on, you can’t just leave like that.”
Wendy stopped her daughter and mocked, “Mr. Gulliver, your temper is getting better now. You’re actually putting up with a newcomer being so unruly?”
Mr. Gulliver kept his silence as he ridiculed in his heart. Wendy’s eyesight was getting worse.
How dare she provoked Mr. Wharton? Wasn’t she afraid of being blacklisted?
“That’s right, she has no manners.” Yvette chimed in sourly. At this moment, all she wanted to do was embarrass Kristen, so she cared less about maintaining her image.
Ethan disdained to talk to them. He looked at the director and said, “Mr. Gulliver, I don’t know how long this lead female lead will take. Shouldn’t we take a break?”
“Yes, yes, of course”
Mr. Gulliver immediately responded with a flattering smile. “Kristen, your scenes will be filmed tomorrow. Rest well.”
“Thank you, Mr. Gulliver.”
Kristen thanked him. Looking at the angry mother and daughter pair, she tousled her hair, “Mr. Big backer, let’s go eat.”
Ethan didn’t know what to say now.
After the two of them left, Wendy reluctantly walked toward the director, “Mr. Gulliver was so strict with Yvette just now. Why didn’t you say anything to Kristen Healey? It looks like you are really getting old and your bones are getting softer and softer.”
Mr. Gulliver clapped his hands and said impatiently, “Wendy, I think you’re getting more and more confused about the situation. Who was that? It was Mr. Wharton. Even your boss can’t compare to him. Why are you being so rude in front of him?”
Wendy was stunned. She had her own pride, yet at this moment, she felt a little bit afraid.
She knew that Kristen had a sugar daddy, but did not know how much influence Ethan had in the industry.
Because of the friendship between the two of them, Mr. Gulliver couldn’t rebuke her too much. He just said in a deep voice, “Since you are here, tell your daughter how to act and don’t delay the progress.”
After that, he entered the lounge with a sullen face, leaving the two standing there like clowns.
The other crew members were all well aware of what had happened and hurried off to do their own things, afraid that they would be implicated.
“Mommy.”
Yvette felt wronged and cried. In the past, no matter which crew she joined, she would always be held in high esteem. The media all said that she’s a natural actress, that she inherited her mother’s acting skills.
What was going on now? Why did everything change?
Wendy gritted her teeth and had no choice but to maintain her outward appearance. “Come, let’s go rest.”
Did Kristen Healey think that she could do whatever she wanted in the entertainment industry just because she had protection?
So what if she had someone backing her up? Sooner or later, she would ruin her career in the entertainment industry.
Seeing them leave, Aldrich strolled after them.
When Ethan saw his figure, he finally remembered the purpose of his visit today.
When he saw Kristen being bullied just now, he forgot about everything and forgot his brother-in-law.
Ethan stopped, extending his hand, “Nice to meet you, I’m Ethan Wharton.”
Aldrich did not shake his hand. He just patted his hand and introduced himself casually, “I’m her brother.”
What should come will come sooner or later.
Kristen broke out in a cold sweat. Aldrich’s face had always been on the game page.Property © 2024 N0(v)elDrama.Org.
She wondered if Ethan had noticed. If he found out that Aldrich was a game player, he would definitely send someone to investigate and her identity would be exposed.
Ethan didn’t care. With a smile on his face, he said, “I’ve already booked a restaurant. Let’s go and eat first.”
Kristen wanted to refuse, but Aldrich agreed immediately.
“Okay, let’s go.”
Kristen secretly glared at Aldrich. “Aldrich, what are you planning to do?”
Aldrich pretended not to see anything and pulled Kristen into the back seat of the car.
Anna broke out in a cold sweat and quickly said, “Mr. Wharton, let me drive.”
There were only the two of them here. She didn’t have the guts to let Mr. Wharton drive.
“Let me do it.”
Ethan opened the door and got into the car. Anna quickly drew a cross on her chest and sat in the passenger seat.
“I’ve never thought that Mr. Wharton would be my driver. Oh my god, will my lifespan be shortened?”
When they arrived at the restaurant, Aldrich sat directly next to Kristen.
Anna hurriedly pulled out a stool for Ethan.
After they sat down, Ethan handed the menu to Aldrich and said, “The Feili steak here is good.”
Aldrich didn’t take it. He just looked at Kristen doubtfully and said, “Little sister, don’t you like Chinese food the most? Why doesn’t your boyfriend know your taste?”
Kristen covered her face and lowered her voice. “Brother, you did it on purpose, didn’t you?”
Aldrich said calmly, “Of course, I’m testing your boyfriend on behalf of Grandpa and our brothers. After all, only excellent talents deserve you.”
Kristen gritted her teeth. This was not an investigation, this was a ruckus.
“I know. Kristen likes this steak very much. She only eats Chinese food a few days ago and wants to have a change today.”
Ethan explained patiently, but Aldrich could not accept it. “Anyway, you always have a reason. Why don’t you ask me if I like it or not?”
Ethan put the menu directly in front of him and said, “The Chinese food made by the chef of this restaurant is also good. You can have a look.”
“…” Aldrich was speechless.
How could this restaurant be so indecent? Why did it have both Chinese and Western cuisine?
Kristen pursed her lips and smiled gloatingly.
No wonder Ethan wanted to come to this restaurant. He might have thought that his brother would be picky about Western cuisine.
“Whatever.”
Aldrich coughed in embarrassment. Ethan ordered Western food and Chinese food and completely shut him up.
After dinner, Aldrich requested to return to the hotel.
When he arrived at the hotel, he pulled Kristen and left. Ethan, who was left behind, smiled bitterly.
He hadn’t seen Kristen for two days and had already had a lovesickness disease. It was not easy to see her today, but he could only send her to the door. He felt a little bitter in his heart.
