Chapter 42 Don’t Provoke Me Anymore
Kristen looked at Ethan. She hadn’t expected this man to terminate all cooperation with the Davis Family for her.
Just as she was about to say something, Ethan asked in a low voice, “What is your relationship with Kayes?”
Hearing this, Kristen said in surprise, “Ethan, you don’t believe me?”
“It’s not that I don’t believe you.” Ethan looked at her out of the corner of his eye, asking, “What happened just now?”
Kristen had already prepared her words. She calmly said, “Indeed, I met Mr. Thomas when I was in Tornzia. I wanted to audition for one of his works at university, but I wasn’t selected. Maybe Taylor saw my private conversation with Mr. Thomas before, so there was a misunderstanding.”
“What about what happened in the lounge just now?”
Kristen explained the ins and outs of the matter to Ethan. Xenos Wood had prescribed a kind of medicine for her in the past, which was especially used to deal with philter. Because of what Jason had experienced a year ago, she would usually bring that kind of medicine at banquets, so Kayes was fine.
“Then how did you leave the lounge?” Ethan stopped the car and listened carefully to her explanation.
“I… jumped down from the third floor.” Kristen felt a little guilty.Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
After hearing this, Ethan subconsciously held her hand.
“Do you want to die?”
Feeling the pain, Kristen gasped.
Ethan quickly let go of her hand and pulled up her sleeve. There was a cut on her fair arm.
Kristen hurriedly said, “I accidentally scratched it when I jumped down.”
However, the height of the third floor was very simple for her. This injury was caused by the two when they fought last night.
“Mr. Thomas is fine, but I don’t want everyone to see me in the same room as him, so I…”
Watching the wound, Ethan furrowed his brows, asking, “Are there any other injuries on your body? I’ll have Xenos examine you.”
Kristen quickly shook her head and said, “There’s a lawn behind the building. I only have a scratch on my hand. Don’t bother Xenos. All right, let’s go back. I’m sleepy.”
Kristen was worried that Xenos would be able to tell that it was not a recent injury.
In the end, Ethan put down her hand and started the car again to leave.
“Don’t do such dangerous things again.”
Kristen didn’t care. She said smugly, “I’m awesome. I dare to jump down even if it’s the fifth floor.”
“Kristen.”
Hearing Ethan’s unhappy tone, she quickly said, “Okay, okay, okay. I won’t jump.”
After returning to the villa, Kristen was worried that Ethan would discover other injuries on her body. After he went to the study, she quickly changed into her pajamas after taking a shower.
When Ethan came back from the study, Kristen had already fallen asleep on the bed. He pulled her into his arms from behind and hugged her tightly as if he was afraid that She would disappear.
……
When Kristen woke up the next day, Ethan had already gone to the company. Kristen had a meeting in the afternoon. After lunch, Anna came to pick her up.
Kristen had thought that she would meet Taylor and Jason again, but they had not come. After the meeting, Aimee, her manager, called her to the office.
“Miss Winter, what’s the matter?” Kristen sat down on the chair opposite her casually.
Aimee glanced at her and said coldly, “I heard that you want to audition for a new movie by Director William. Kristen, although you’re a little famous now, you still don’t have the qualifications. I picked out a few scripts for a few new movies and dramas. Take a look and give up on Director William’s movie.”
“No, I won’t give up on this movie.”
The condition had been quite good when she had signed a contract with Kristen a year ago, but not long after, Kristen had been bribed by Taylor. She had directly restricted Kristen’s development.
“Kristen, I’m doing this for your own good. Do you think you’ll have a chance? If you fail the audition, you’ll be laughed at by the anti-fans. You’ve overestimated yourself!”
“Are you doing this for my own good, or is it because Taylor is worried that I will succeed in the audition? You know that, right? All right, don’t play any tricks on me. We’ll terminate the contract in a month.”
After saying that, Kristen stood up and left. She put on her sunglasses and walked out of the company, only to see a man in his forties walking toward her.
“Hello, Miss Healey. I’m Carly Davis’s father, Sheldon Davis. Can I take up some of your time? Let’s talk.”
“Kristen…” Anna was worried about her and wanted to ask her to leave, but Kristen said directly, “Wait for me in the car.”
She wanted to see what Sheldon wanted to talk about.
The two came to a cafe near The Stars Entertainment. Sheldon was the first to say, “Miss Healey, I’m sorry about what my daughter and son have done. I didn’t educate them well. I’m really sorry.”
“You didn’t educate them well?” Kristen sneered. “Mr. Davis, haven’t you been conniving them in secret?”
Sheldon’s face froze.
“Well, you didn’t come to me to apologize, did you? If you have something to say, just say it.”
Kristen took a sip of coffee and looked at him with folded arms.
Sheldon glanced at her and said directly, “Today, TNK Group’s all collaborations with the Davis Family are terminated. You might not understand, but although the Davis Family has suffered some losses, the losses of TNK Group have been more severe.”
“So, you asked me to persuade Ethan to change his opinion.”
“Yes, after this, I’ll give you one hundred million, please leave Ethan and Nangania.”
“To be honest, this is the funniest thing I’ve heard since I came to Nangania.” She laughed out loud, and then said sarcastically, “Do all the members of the Davis family like to work with money?”
Previously, Jason had wanted to spend money to own her. What a joke.
Sheldon frowned slightly. “Kristen, I think you haven’t been with Ethan for long, have you? He’s only interested in you for a while. He can’t possibly give you a hundred million.”
“You are a smart person. With this money, you can have better development in other places.”
Hearing that, Kristen smiled again.
“Mr. Davis is generous to his daughter, but you’re wrong. I’ve been with Ethan for a long time. Why do you think he won’t give me 100 million? Besides, do you think that your daughter will have a chance if I leave?”
Sheldon was shocked and angry at the same time. “You and Ethan have been together for a long time? How is that possible?”
As if sensing his confusion, Kristen calmly said, “I just don’t want to rely on others to fight for it. Otherwise, do you think Taylor can limit my development for a year?”
“Mr. Davis, I won’t persuade Ethan to resume working with you, nor will I leave. I’ve reminded Taylor in the past, but now I’m warning you, don’t provoke me again.”
After saying that, Kristen didn’t want to be entangled with him anymore. She put on her sunglasses and got up to leave.
This was originally a kind reminder, but Sheldon only felt that she was extremely arrogant.
“The two companies have cut off all cooperation and many rumors are going around. This will affect the Davis Family more than just money.”
