Loving A STRANGER Chapter 84
Advertisement
Lily's expression became a bit stiff, but she continued to insist: "I'd rather attend her funeral than even pretend to care about her."
Khloe was just frightened, thought Lily. What's the big deal? Sympathizing with Kylie was just a temporary solution. She would just invite the crew over for a party, and everyone would be on her side once again.
Khloe found that talking to Lily was no better than talking to a brick wall. So, she decided just to let it go. She could only pray that no more mistakes would be made.
Kylie would yet be brought to shame. There's no way she would be able to reverse the trend of public opinion.
If Lord Ethan watched the video on Instagram, then they would surely break up.
There's no way that he would tolerate proof that his woman was having an affair.
As she thought this over, Khloe beamed with pride.
Meanwhile, Kylie was given a chair in which to rest. She was looking at the ground when she saw a pair of white shoes stop in front of her.
Kylie slowly looked up to discover that Lily's assistant, Faith, was the one standing in front of her.
"I'm fine. Please tell Lily not to worry." Kylie's immediate thought was that Lily must feel too ashamed to go see. So, she must have sent her assistant instead.
But Faith's eyes turned red after hearing Kylie's words.
Kylie felt that something must be wrong.
"You…"
Faith walked two steps forwards, then stopped right in front of Kylie. "Kylie, can I be your assistant instead?"
"What are you talking about?" Kylie, tilting her head, suspected that she heard it wrong.
What is she doing?
Is this Mission Impossible? A dark war? Or is Faith a spy?
Actually, Faith had trained many actresses before. She was a famous broker in the entertainment industry. For reasons nobody knew, she had suddenly announced that she would quit, and go abroad to study.

However, when she had returned from being abroad, she quietly decided to work as Lily's assistant. Nobody knew the reasoning behind this decision.
Perhaps she understood Kylie's surprised expression. Faith smiled helplessly and said, with a deep breath:
"I have waited a long time to leave her. But I signed a contract saying that she must be the one to terminate the agreement…"
Faith looked at Kylie seriously. "I know that you can't trust me now. But I'd like to try. Will you consider my proposal, if you think I'm trustworthy?"
Kylie responded, with a smile: "I'm actually in an embarrassing situation right now. This morning I learned that I no longer have an agent."
Faith also smiled. "You were freed this morning. I was fired this afternoon. Clearly, we're destined to be together."
Kylie nodded with a smile. "Man struggles upwards, and water flows downwards. Why would you choose me?"
"Because you are destined to be extraordinary. I have been paying attention to you for a long time. I have confidence in you."
Kylie suddenly remembered something. "Someone in the crew was always making trouble for me, but there was always Someone else who often, secretly, helped me. It wouldn't..."
Faith smiled mysteriously but offered no explanation.
The two shook hands.
When Kylie was looking over her script, Faith whispered: "The fans who are outside the door are all there because Khloe told them to."
"How do you know?" Kylie's eyes continued to stare at the script. She didn't want anyone else to see what was going on.
"Because I have another ID mixed in with William's fan group."
"How many IDs do you have?"
"A lot... In order to express my loyalty, I want to give you another big gift."

They were done with shooting the horse scene. Julian used the take in which Kylie appears to shock the horse.
The next scene is the one in which Miss Tea prepares for her wedding. Becky and Angela meet at the banquet.
This scene was much more simple.
"Action."
Red lights were hanging in the garden, and there were pink draperies along the roof. Everywhere was a festive pink; even the trees looked strong and vigorous, even though it was winter.
Lily passed under the arch and saw Kylie sitting at the main table.
Kylie saw her, and her eyes suddenly became cold. There was a bit of arrogance in her tone. "Here, you come."
Lily quickly swept over and sat in front of Kylie. "Today is a big day. Let's have a toast."
As she said this, she picked up the flagon that was on the table.
Lily had been defeated by Kylie just now. How could she give up? So, she had bribed the property manager to let her use the cups before the scene.
One cup was filled with water, whereas the other was filled with hallucinogens.
Now Kylie would be confronted by an embarrassing situation. She would have to pay the price.
Lily pretended to pour out two glasses of wine, and then she picked up the cup without hallucinogens. She smiled and said to Kylie: "Let's wish our sister a happy marriage."
"If our elder sister knew that today's wedding was your idea, I don't know what would happen." After that, Kylie clasped her cup and drank its contents.
Lily said coldly: "You can't frame me! Your man is a thief. If you make a fuss about it, it'll all be your fault."
After that, she gulped down the contents of her own cup.
Poof. Immediately after drinking it, Lily spat as much of it out as she could. She looked sharply at the property manager.
Why was her water so bitter?
"Cut." Julian said, "Again."
"Here you come."
"Today is a big day. Let's have a toast."
Lily's hands were a little shaky. She poured herself a glass of water. "Let's wish our sister a happy marriage."
"If our elder sister knew that today's wedding was your idea, I don't know what would happen." After that, Kylie clasped her cup and drank its contents.
"You can't frame me! Your man is a thief. If you make a fuss about it, it'll all be your fault."
Poof. Lily once again felt the effects of her drink.
"Lily, what's the matter with you?" Julian looked at her angrily. Kylie's performance had been very good, but Lily seemed stuck.
"You spit out the water twice. Is there a problem with the water?" Kylie reached for her glass.

Blair Nys: Blood and Benevolence
Blair is a young man and even of royal heritage. As such his life has followed a strict plan since birth. Only for it to suddenly, in the time span of a finger snipping, change. Connections to another world opened up. Humans with powers made of the wildest imaginations, stepped out of them, calling themselves cultivators. Naturally, earth’s population went into an uproar. One piece of information created an especially great stir. The cultivators were there to pick disciples. Millions rushed to them, and Blair wanted to be one of them. There was just one problem. His lord father was strictly against interaction with those magical beings. He always dreaded a foreign power gaining influence in his court. Well, the old man never changes, and now it was the same as ever. His sister wasn´t even allowed to study abroad. However, all his senses told Blair that the future lay in the cultivator's hands. His plan was to gain knowledge, power, and maybe influence. Then he would return. One night he simply vanished in the darkness, away from his father’s claws. Will he succeed? That is hard to tell. The immortal world is an unforgiving place, even worse than earth. It’s just that Blair doesn’t know that yet. Can he survive there, and gain a footing in the new era of qi and godly hermits? Only time will tell, and Blair has to fight for every minute. Authors note: Give the story a try. It’s my personal blend of qi, cultivation, and struggles of morality and power. If I can deliver on all that is another question, but I will give it my best. As a further note, I am not using any of the usual strict realms and extreme power differences. It’s more about gathering and refining qi. Whoever uses his chances, sneak attacks, intuitions, and skills in a better way wins. However, having more or better qi will help, but I am not at a point where I have written a lot of that, so I might promise too much. Thanks for reading so far and checking my synopsis out, now you might give the story a try. Have fun. The picture is from JCK5D (Pixabay)
