Chapter 197 Brother-in-law’s Test
Ethan gestured to Anna, “Go get an extra room.”
He couldn’t sleep well without holding her in his arms.
When Anna heard this, she quickly shook her head. “No, Mr. Wharton. You’d better go again tomorrow. Don’t let Kristen’s brother pick any more faults.”
“You’re right.”
Ethan thought it made sense. He glanced at Kristen’s back before turning to leave.
When they entered the room, Kristen looked at Aldrich with dissatisfaction. “Aldrich, have you had enough fun?”
Aldrich crossed his legs and shook his head. “Not yet. Let’s wait and see tomorrow.”
“…” Aldrich was speechless.
Kristen slammed the table. “Leave while I’m still talking to you.”
Aldrich smiled cheekily. “Little sister, why are you panicking? Don’t you have confidence in him?”
“You keep showing your face in front of him. What if he finds out who I am? I made an agreement with my aunt. If you ruin my plan, I won’t talk to you anymore!”
Aldrich pretended to be sad and said, “It’s really amazing. You have a boyfriend, then you don’t want your brother.”
Kristen had no choice but to ignore him and return to her room.
Her fifth brother was always like this. The more she paid attention to him, the more he would take advantage of her.
The next morning, when she opened her eyes, she saw Ethan. Kristen immediately held him in her arms and rubbed against him restlessly. “I missed you so much.”
Ethan chuckled and lay down lovingly with her. He didn’t mind the creases on his suit, which was worth hundreds of thousands of yuan.
Ethan stroked her black hair and said in a soft voice, “Your brother is gone.”
“What? He’s gone?”
Kristen’s eyes widened. Aldrich was gone. It didn’t seem like him.
“Yes.”
Ethan nodded, and then he suddenly thought of something and explained it with a smile. “Before he left, he instructed me to take good care of you.”
“He shouldn’t be so polite, right?”
Kristen saw through everything. She knew her fifth brother too well. He must have warned Ethan a lot.
Ethan nodded with a faint smile. As expected of siblings, they were well aware of each other’s tempers.
He was indeed “warned”, but he felt very happy.
This was the first time he had seen Kristen’s family. After all, they were admitted.
After breakfast, Kristen hurried to the set, but when she turned around, she saw that Ethan had also gotten out of the car.
She was stunned. “You’re not going to work?”NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.
“I’ll accompany you today.”
Ethan had canceled today’s schedule the night before. If he hadn’t suddenly come yesterday, he wouldn’t have known that Kristen would suffer so much on the set.
Today, he was here to back her up.
Kristen understood. Sniffing, she said with a touching expression, “Mr. Wharton, you’re so nice. I’m so touched. I don’t even know how to repay you. I can only devote myself to you.”
“You were mine, to begin with.”
Ethan gave an overbearing proclamation, stepped forward, and held her hand as he walked into the set.
When the crew saw Ethan, they also understood what was going on. After all, Mrs. Riordan was coming today, so Mr. Wharton must have been afraid that Kristen would be bullied.
What a tough man in real life. Small potatoes like them should just sit back and watch.
With Wendy’s guidance, Yvette’s acting was much better today.
Kristen didn’t lose at all, but she was still criticized by Wendy again and again in public.
Ethan felt angry just seeing this, but Kristen was very modest. She repeated again and again without a single complaint.
In the end, Mr. Gulliver couldn’t stand it anymore. He pulled Wendy and said, “It’s enough, you can pass.”
Wendy smiled lightly. “I’m tempering her. Are the rookies so delicate these days? They cannot even listen to senior’s words, can they?”
Kristen wiped her sweat and said with a smile, “Yes. If what you said is true, I will accept it humbly. Mrs. Riordan is such a big star. She won’t deliberately put me on the spot. Otherwise, she will be a villain. Mrs. Riordan, don’t you think so?”
Was she indirectly calling her a villain?
Just as Wendy was about to flare up, she saw Ethan. Thinking of the news she found on the Internet yesterday, she understood that her husband was no match for him.
Having struggled in the entertainment industry for so many years, she knew what moderation was.
She suppressed her anger and did not say another word. She just sat by the side and watched.
Kristen had very few scenes and had been wasted by Wendy for a day. After filming, she fell directly into Ethan’s arms.
“I want to sleep.”
Ethan glanced coldly at Wendy and left with Kristen.
Back in the RV, Kristen lay in Ethan’s arms and fell asleep.
Ethan held her in one hand and sent a message with the other.
Back at the hotel, Anna held her phone with an angry face.
“Miss Oliver, they’ve gone too far. How dare they add more scenes to Kristen.”
The added scenes were not beneficial at all, and everyone could see it. Wendy wanted to take advantage of her seniority to bully Kristen.
“Tell Mr. Gulliver that if what happened today happens again, he can forget about broadcasting this TV series.”
After saying that, Ethan walked into the room and slept with Kristen.
Mr. Wharton was full of charisma!
Anna screamed in her heart. Now she had confidence. She exaggerated the words and passed them to Mr. Gulliver. Finally, she said earnestly,
“Mr. Gulliver, you know that this is not our fault. Miss Healey’s temper is already good enough, but you’re getting more and more out of line. How could Mr. Wharton not be angry? Please think about it carefully. Miss Healey is only the fourth female lead in this television series. She really doesn’t care if she’s acting or not.”
After that, she hung up the phone directly and did not give him a chance to speak.
Anna had been an assistant for so many years and knew how to bargain.
Mr. Gulliver surely understood Mr. Wharton had the ability to prevent the television series from being released. It was obvious who he should help.
When Kristen went to the crew the next day, Wendy was already gone. Kristen’s filming went well and finished before noon.
Kristen wanted to go home and catch up on sleep, but Yvette stopped her.
“Kristen Healey, don’t be complacent.”
Yvette glared at Kristen. She was wearing a small red dress and looked like an angry bird.
Kristen crossed her arms and raised her eyebrows. “You don’t want to keep your image anymore? To be honest, you’re a good actress. You can take a role like this next time.”
“Kristen, how dare you insult me?” Yvette gritted her teeth and was about to slap her.
Kristen took a step forward and said coldly, “Have you forgotten the taste of those two slaps?”
Yvette pulled back her arm and took a step back, looking at her warily.
Kristen could’t be bothered to waste time with her and warned her, “I don t want to argue with you when filming because I don t want to affect the progress. If you reject to be nice, I don t mind giving you two more slaps.”
After that, she raised her chin and strode away.
Yvette was completely intimidated by her imposing manner and didn’t react until she was far away.
“Ah~ Kristen Healey, I’m not done with you.”
