Chapter 721: Kylie Lambert Provokes Juliet
Rumors had long circulated in the industry that Kylie Lambert's meteoric rise was fueled by unsavory means. She had never believed such gossip; during her time as a top star, she had been the subject of rumors herself. Juliet had always dismissed such talk with disdain. However, today, when she heard Kylie Lambert disparaging Tina, she couldn't hold back. The repeated mentions of the Reed family were too much for her to bear. In a heated moment, scathing words escaped her lips.
Kylie Lambert's face turned from red to green to purple as she watched. She opened her mouth, wanting to apologize, but looking at that face, she found herself speechless. Kylie's delicate features nearly twisted as she exclaimed, "Fine! Juliet, well done!"
She had warned the Langdon family to hold back! Now, her reputation was ruined! And the people on that side, she couldn't touch. Juliet, no wonder she could be friends with Tina, both were absolute scoundrels! "I won't let you get away with slandering me!"
Kylie's eyes flashed coldly as she grabbed Juliet's hand and suddenly pushed her towards the trailer steps. "Kylie!"Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
The agent outside, seeing this, changed color dramatically. He rushed to the trailer, finding Kylie Lambert with a pained smile and teary eyes, "Miss Reed, I know you don't like that I took your endorsement, but in the entertainment industry, everyone relies on their own abilities. How could you treat me this way?"
Juliet thought to herself, "Wow, can you even play it like this?"
If she weren't the victim herself, she would have admired Kylie Lambert's acting skills. Her gaze hardened as she coldly watched Kylie Lambert. Just as the crew finished shooting, many staff members were moving around. Hearing the commotion and seeing two popular actors involved, they approached like mice to cheese, phones in hand.
Kylie Lambert was helped up by her agent, appearing to have twisted her ankle, and leaned weakly on him. The agent, Huang Feng, looked at her and turned his eyes indignantly, "Miss Reed, we have respected you enough. We've always yielded to you, not wanting any conflict! And yet, at the party, you helped Miss Tina bully our Kylie, and now you've even pushed her down the stairs!"
"Even a sycophant isn't as devoted as you, cozying up to Miss Tina just for an endorsement? We don't want it anymore, it's all yours!"
As the crowd around them grew, even some starting live streams, Robert continued, "But we won't let today's incident slide. Miss Reed, this is intentional injury. We'll see you in court!"
Kylie Lambert spoke in a delicate voice, "Stop, Robert. Don't say that. It wasn't her intention, it was my fault for stepping forward. But I didn't expect the Reed family would come to me for an endorsement. Miss Reed, don't worry, I'll call Mr. Reed right now, I won't let you be wronged."
"That's too much! And I thought Juliet had a good temper, how could she do this?!"
"The granddaughter of a murderer, how good can her temper be? There! She shows her true nature!"
"As for the affairs of the entertainment industry, nothing is certain until the last moment. What makes Juliet think the endorsement should be hers? Where does she get the gall?"
"If she becomes the spokesperson for the Reed family, I definitely won't buy their perfume. Who knows if it might kill me!"
Agent Harry frowned as he listened to the surrounding chatter. He glanced down at the two pretentious individuals below, his sharp gaze sweeping over Kylie Lambert's ankle. This woman really went through with it. She actually sprained her ankle-a delicate heiress, where did she get such courage?
"Are you done?"
Juliet looked around, squinting against the flashlights. At this moment, it was clear as day to her. Kylie Lambert came today just to ruin her reputation. No wonder she kept provoking earlier. But how did she know about the Reed family's affairs, hadn't Tina kept it under wraps?
Everyone thought the downfall of the Reed family was because of her grandmother. In the eyes of the public, even Jasper Reed wasn't the main culprit. Yet, Kylie Lambert seemed to know everything?
Thinking this, Juliet spoke with a hint of probing, "Miss Lambert, you seem very familiar with my family's affairs; then you must know Tina is my sister."
"You keep saying you took over my endorsement. How about I call my sister right now and see what really happened?" she chuckled.
"Or do you think, Miss Lambert, that you have such charm that you could make my cousin side with you against me?"
The listeners nodded in agreement.
"I forgot, Tina really is Juliet's sister."
"How is that possible? Tina is from Ensford, and Juliet is a true Ashbury native, how could they be sisters?"
"That you don't know. The Ensford Reed family and the Ashbury Reed family are originally from the same lineage, and I heard Tina's biological father isn't the man raising her now. Her real father is Jasper Reed, the head of the Reed family who was ousted."
"It reminds me, there were rumors online about Tina bullying Kylie Lambert. The Reed family wouldn't want someone who clashes with their own daughter as a spokesperson."
Listening to the rising and falling discussions around, Kylie Lambert remained composed, "Miss Reed, you fancy your brother-in-law. Tell me, is that reason enough for Miss Tina to fire you?" Juliet's eyes widened in shock.
She had hidden her feelings well; how could Kylie Lambert know?! Even Tina didn't know she liked Jared! "You..."
Juliet opened her mouth to retort but faced Kylie Lambert's assertive eyes, she found herself speechless.
Kylie Lambert scoffed, "Miss Reed, Tina has been so good to you. If it weren't for her, how could you have made a comeback? I can't believe you fell for your own brother-in-law."
Pretending to wipe away tears, she continued, "If Tina hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known. She told me to come here today and tell you all this. She doesn't want to see you again. Tina, it's for your own good that I say this much. I don't blame you if you don't believe me. If you're angry, you can take it out on me. I have no power or status; do as you wish."
Kylie Lambert was beautiful, different from Juliet's vibrant charm. Her beauty was a harmless, innocent kind that made everyone believe she couldn't possibly harbor any ill intentions. Her tearful plea moved everyone present, eliciting their sympathy.
