Chapter 36 Stuck in a real bind , Kylie was unable to release the video , keeping the truth under wraps .
Noticing Ethans quiet concern , Kylie decided to take action .
Tm gonna find us a lawyer .
Kylie , lawyers in Jardora probably wont take your case .
The Lampard familys legal team is well known , and their PR is top- notch .
Ethan said , his voice heavy with concern , his face serious Kylie held her phone , lost in thought .
Anyone watching her would see the tight grip she had on it , a clear sign of her frustration .
Maybe you should talk to your biological parents and show the video to them .
They might be able to help you and on this from getting worse .
Ethan advised .
It was an idea his friends had come up with .
He knew Kylie didnt want to face Samuel and Julie right now .
After all , Samuel and Julie were backing Melanie and were unapologetically against Kylie .
Ethan wondered how they would react if she did meet them .
It seemed so unfair .
He felt helpless , like a hard pill to swallow .
With moist eyes , Kylie murmured .
Til think about it .
Dont worry about this for now .
I know youve got your own stuff going on .
My issue isnt a big deal .
I can handle it .
I appreciate your concern , Ethan , but Ive grown up .
Im not the kid who cries at every little problem .
Ill face these challenges head on .
She was supposed to handle this well but didnt expect to worry her family .
On the other end , after Ethan hung up , his eyes were also filled with emotion .
After talking with Ethan .
James called .
After Kylie gave him a quick update , he offered to come over .
She declined , saying she could handle it , and she told James to focus on work .
Once off the phone with James , she checked the time it was already half past six .
She changed her clothes , went downstairs , and grabbed a yogurt from the fridge .
She sprinkled some cereal on top and ate it straight from the container .
Just then , Julie called Kylie looked at Julies name on her screen , remembering what Ethan had said .
She felt a pang in her heart , wondering if she should give her another chance .
You finally answered ! Do you realize your mistake ? Youre my daughter , after all .
If you admit your mistake , well forgive you this time .
The online gossip will fade .
Your dad and I will send you abroad for a while .
Just behave and dont cause any more trouble , understand ? Julie said quickly , her voice a mix of relief and annoyance .
When Julie saw the call connect , she felt a sense of relief , but her pent up frustration came out in a rush of words .
Kylies cold voice replied , The photos are real , and I have videos of them at the mall .
Julie was taken aback for a moment and then responded in disbelief , What are you saying ? Seriously ? No way .
Thats impossible , Melanie has always been virtuous , not like you , just moving in with Craig casually .
Kylies heart turned cold , and she sneered , Melanie filled your head with that , didnt she ? End the call and check your WhatsApp messages .
Melanie was the type to spin a tale just to smear her name a textbook example of how a guilty conscience couldnt handle innocence .
A few minutes after they hung up , Julie called again .
Done viewing? Kylie asked .
Julie replied , Mel is destined for a prosperous marriage ; this cant ruin her future .
Kylie , listen to me .
Lets put this behind us .
I wont demand an apology , but you must not discuss this with anyone else .
Consider this a debt Mel owes you .
Ill talk to your dad , and well make it up to you .
They probably just had a dose moment .
It was nothing serious .
173 Chapter 36 A passionate kiss ist serious ? Your values are really messed up shouldnt have had that much hope for you , Kylie said before ending the call .
Her heart , already battered by past wounds , had briefly fluttered with hope at Ethans words .
But now , she realized shed been wrong to hold onto any illusions about her birth family As Trevor came downstairs , he overheard her call and her words After hanging up , although Kylie didnt shed any tears , she looked like a wounded young animal , pitifully tending to its injuries alone .
Trevors blue eyes deepened , a shadow passing through them as an old memory had stirred .
He knew the feeling all too well the solitude of healing from lifes knocks .
The sound of his footsteps on the stairs startled Kylie .
She looked up at Trevor , her eyes still filled with unreso and sorrow , which suddenly met Trevors blue eyes , causing him to pause , Recognizing her vulnerability , Kylie quickly averted her gaze .
Trevor strode over , noticed her low spirits , and said , The herbal tea you gave me last night was incredibly effective .
About an hour after drinking the tea , his restless and melancholie mood had nearly leveled out , and he had drifted off to sleep without realizing it .
Kylie nodded nervously and said .

Tm glad it helped .
Ill prepare more when I run out .
I have things to do , leave .
so Ill take my She didnt want anyone to see her flustered and helpless side .
Grabbing her bag , without even a glance at Trevor , she hurried to the door, changed her shoes , and left Trevor frowned , his gaze returning to the yogurt container on the table that Kylie hadnt had time to throw away .
everything were fine , she would have made herself a nutritious breakfast in the morning Her eyes , as vulnerable as a wounded fawns , haunted him , and Trevors expression turned to ice .
Glancing down , he checked the message from Zach that had just popped up on his phone Trevor found out that Kylie hadnt fought back against the Lampard family online , not because she was lacking proof , but because shed been muted on social media .
The Lampard family had blocked her from speaking out , and to make matters worse , her own mother had turned a blind eye , opting to side with them even after the truth came to light it was a double betrayal that left him feeling a chill .
Trevor tapped his fingers on the table a few times and then dialed Zach .
Mr.
Walters , what are your orders ? Zachs tone was a bit urgent .
Feeling a streak of good fortune since swapping out his pendant Zach decided to try his luck on a scratch off ticket yesterday .
To his surprise , he hit a few hundred bucks the biggest win hed ever scored .
It was the kind of unexpected cash grab hed never encountered before in his life .
Before , if Kylie hadnt given him a heads up , he could have ended up really unlucky like losing his life while wearing that pearl pendant .
Now , seeing Kylie getting picked on and knowing the real story , he felt a pang of guilt for not stepping in to help .
Guilt kept him awake last night .
Watching the Lampard familys paid posters manipulate the truth and lead people astray filled him with rage .
Yes , he knew he had to hold back .
Without Trevors green light to support Kylie , he couldnt just jump in and take drastic 2/3
