Chapter 40 Kristen Disappears
Jason Davis and Flora were standing next to Taylor. Jason was the singer for the theme song of this drama, so he was invited as well.
As soon as they met each other, Taylor’s face darkened. She said unhurriedly, “Kristen, something happened on the Rocky Mountain that night, you did that, didn’t you?”
When Taylor woke up in the hospital that day, the doctor had also examined her. Nothing had happened, but the photos were uploaded online, and rumors were circulating. Everyone felt that she had been tarnished.
Taylor’s mental state had also been affected. It took a long time before she dared to appear in front of the public.
The culprit was this Kristen in front of her!
Anna immediately said, “Taylor, what are you talking about? We don’t understand.”
Kristen was not in the mood to tangle with Taylor. She walked away. When she passed her, she whispered, “That’s right, but you’re the culprit, Taylor. I’ve advised you not to mess with me.”
As soon as she finished speaking, she turned around and left.
Taylor’s expression immediately darkened.
Jason didn’t say anything. He just looked at Kristen’s face, which was full of unwillingness. He then asked, “Sister, what should we do now? I think your news is probably fake, right? I just took a look at Kayes. He’s so old. How could Kristen like him?”
“She doesn’t want me but an old man. Kristen isn’t that stupid, is she?” Jason felt that something was wrong.
Taylor gritted her teeth and said viciously, “I saw it myself. There’s no mistake. Both of them are from Tornzia. Maybe they’ve been together for a long time.”
She narrowed her eyes slightly and looked in the direction of Kristen. “We’ll know if it’s true or not very soon. It’s just Kayes. Kristen dares to be so arrogant in front of me. I’ll ruin her tonight!”
Kristen bumped into Mr. Scott and said with a smile, “Mr. Scott, thank you for giving me this opportunity.”
“Kristen, don’t mention it. You fought for this opportunity, and you didn’t disappoint me. I hope we can cooperate in the future.”
Kristen picked up her glass and was about to propose a toast when a hand stopped her and snatched the glass from her hand. A familiar voice drifted into her ear.
“I’m sorry, Mr. Scott, Kristen can’t drink. I’ll drink for her.”
Kristen watched as Ethan appeared out of nowhere. Looking at Mr. Scott’s expression, she hurriedly said, “I… I can’t hold my liquor well. I’ve had drinks with Mr. Wharton once before… Thank you, Mr. Wharton.”
“I see!” Director Wang didn’t point it out and said respectfully, “Mr. Wharton, cheers.”
After they had a glass of wine, Kristen left with Ethan. Fortunately, there was no one around. Otherwise, the relationship between them would be exposed.
“Ethan, what are you doing?”
“You can’t drink.”
The man’s domineering voice rang out. Kristen was about to rebut when she remembered that she had said her period was coming. Oh my god.
She sighed and could only say fiercely, “I see. I won’t drink. Stay away from me.”
Ethan, who had always been disliked by Kristen, was used to it and watched her leave helplessly.
The scene of them being together was seen by Taylor again. She was full of anger and cursed Kristen a thousand times in her heart!
After having a little food, a staff member came to tell Kristen that Kayes was waiting for her in the lounge.
“What is it for?” Kristen didn’t think much of it. She sent Anna away and went upstairs.
When she arrived at the lounge, she saw Kayes sitting on the sofa. Before Kristen could react, the door behind her was slammed shut and the sound of being locked could be heard.
“Kristen, is there something wrong?”
Hearing Uncle Thomas’ confused voice and looking at the closed door behind her, Kristen knew it was another conspiracy.
“It’s Taylor. How did she know that I have something to do with Kayes Thomas? What does she want?”
Kristen walked up to him and asked calmly, “Uncle Thomas, I suppose we’ve fallen into someone’s trap. Are you feeling well?”
Kayes rubbed his glabella and said, “Now that you mention it, it does sound a little weird. I can’t drink, but I only drank one cup tonight. Now I feel very dizzy and very hot.”
With that, he suddenly understood and hurriedly said, “Kristen, stay away from me and find a way to contact someone to open the door. What should I do? I didn’t bring my cell phone.”
Kristen narrowed her eyes slightly. Her phone was in Anna’s hand. If things went as expected, Taylor would open the door later with her people… It would be another rumor then.
However, she, Kristen, would not let Taylor get what she wanted!
At this moment, downstairs, Taylor went to seduce Ethan again, but the man’s attitude was still very indifferent. He left without even glancing at her.
Taylor felt defeated, and Flora walked over with a smile on her face.
“Taylor, you are amazing. The two of them did have an affair. They ran to the lounge after hearing the staff member’s words.”
A smile flashed across Taylor Davis’ eyes. “What a pity. Kristen didn’t drink anything tonight, so I didn’t have the chance to start with her.”
Only Kayes was drugged. However, since the two of them had an affair and they were in the same room alone, could Kayes resist the temptation?
“Okay, let’s go. It’s almost time.”
After Taylor found the director, she smiled and said, “Mr. Scott, it’s getting late. Let’s organize everyone to take a group photo. I’ll post it on Twitter later.”
“Okay.” Mr. Scott nodded and ordered the staff to organize all the actors.
Everyone was gathered together. There was no need for investors to participate, but Ethan frowned slightly when he saw that Kristen was gone.
Soon, the staff found out about that. Someone said in a hurry, “Mr. Scott, We can’t find Kristen.”
“Send all staff to look for her,” Ethan said, “get the hotel surveillance footage.”
No one noticed the nervousness in his voice.
Mr. Scott hurriedly ordered, but unfortunately, only the monitoring in the lobby was good. The other parts of the hotel were broken. After a round of searching, no one saw Kristen. Then, someone found that the screenwriter, Kayes, had disappeared, too.
At this moment, a staff member jumped out and said, “I just saw Miss Oliver and Mr. Thomas entering the lounge together…”
As soon as he finished his words, the whole audience burst into an uproar. Everyone was talking about it. However, there were still a few people who jumped out to protect Kristen and Kayes.
“What nonsense are you talking about?”
“Miss Oliver and Mr. Thomas, how is that possible?”
“Which department are you from? How dare you tarnish their reputations like this,” Taylor said coldly.
“I haven’t slandered them. I saw it. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the lounge to see if they are in that place.”
Just like that, the two of them echoed each other, drawing everyone’s attention to the lounge.
