Chapter 40 Noreens words left Trevor at a loss for a response .
He could only say , Ill reach out to her .
If shes too swamped , we can reschedule for next week Do that , Noreen insisted .
Kylies heen looking weighed down .
She could use a break .
As her husband , you should be looking out for her more .
Got it ? Sure , Trevor said curtly .
Once he was off the phone with his godmother .
Trevor took a moment to scan the online chatter about Kylie .
After confirming that Zach and the team handled things well , he tried calling Kylie .
The line was busy , to Trevor set his phone aside .
A few minutes later , his phone rang .
It was Kylie .
Mr.
Walters , you called earlier ? Kylie asked .
Grandmas got friends visiting her at the hospital , and were supposed to hit the hot springs .
If youre free tonight , Ill swing by and get you , Trevor said , his naturally cool tone conveying through the phone .
Kylie picked up on a subtle hint of reluctance in Trevors voice .
She guessed it was Noreen who pushed him to invite her .
Al hot springs trip was something one would share with a close friend or a loved one .
No wonder Trevor sounded less than thrilled Tm already booked tonight , and I cant back out .
Im really sorry , Kylie replied , being honest a When Trevor had called , shed been on the line with Ethan .
Hed invited her to dinner , mentioning it had been too long since theyd caught up .
With the dust settling on the Craig and Melanie situation and the evidence laid bare , Melanie .
wouldnt be causing any more waves .
It was the perfect time for them to reconnect and talk .
Trevor , hearing the rejection through the phone , simply raised an eyebrow , Alright , Ill tell Grandma .
Thanks , Mr.
Walters , Kylie said .
You bet .

Trevor responded .
After the call ended .
Trevor gazed at his phone , his eyes clouding over .
He thought to himself , She doesnt want to go to the hot springs with me ? A hint of disappointment crossed his mind .
He loosened his tie , tossed the phone aside , and picked up a business proposal from the stack nearby .
No hot springs and no wasted time exactly how he liked it .
Back at the Lampard residence , chaos reigned .
Samuel and Claude werent present , but Austin and Chris were home , confronting Melanie with their phones .
Slumped on the couch , Julie had been in a daze for an hour .
With tears welling up in her eyes , Melanie looked at her brothers as if shed been terribly wronged Tm being framed .
1 dont know these people , and thats not me in the video .
The photos and leaks were mostly accurate .
They showed her entering a hotel with Craig , but not in bed with him .
As long as they werent caught in the act , it couldnt conclusively prove that she arid Craig had been intimate .
Is it really not you , Mel ? Julie kept searching online for photos and videos , feeling more and more disheartened with each one .
Mom , its really not me .
They must have doctored it and used Al to swap faces .
Mom , I think Kylie planned this all along .
She planned to break up with Craig and then how to deal with me .
Shes got another man to help her .
Melanie had her excuses ready Chapter 40 If Kylie didnt have help , how could public opinion on the internet have shifted so quickly ? I underestimated her , Melanie thought .
She once thought Kylie was all about Craig , and even if they had a falling out , it was just a lovers quarrel .
It seemed Kylie had already found a patron Austin frowned Chris , after hearing Melanies words , realized something and slapped his thigh .
Tve underestimated Kylie .
Theres no way photos , videos , and so called college bucklies could turn the tide in an hour .
She must have found a powerful .
backer Shes pretty .
No surprise there Austins expression was gloomy .
This incident had already brought shame to the Lampard family .
I believe Mel wouldnt stoop to liking Craig .
It must be Kylie , jealous that we favor Mel more , and thus hatched this plot discredit her .
This matter … I need to think it through .
We cant let her truly ruin Mel : Chris furrowed his brows .
Julie looked at her two sons and then at Melanie , hesitating to speak .
She wondered if it was really Al face swapping , but the doubt was fleeting .
Seeing Melanies pale face and considering she was the child she raised , Julie felt she couldnt be lying .
Could Kylie really have found a sugar daddy ? How could she stoop to being someones kept woman ? Julie thought , feeling quite uncomfortable .
Chris , let the PR team come up with a solution that benefits everyone , and also consider Kylies situation , Julie said after a moment of thought .
Melatue was taken aback , looking at Julie in surprise .
She thought Julie was starting to feel pain for Kylie Yes , shes found a backer , and now with this misunderstanding between us , Mom is worried about her and me .
Lets find solution that works for everyone and put this matter to rest quickly , Melanie cried , nodding as if she were considering Kylie and Julies feelings .
Mel is always considerate , Julie said with a sigh .
Austin said with a dark face , If she really has found a backer , I will absolutely not acknowledge her as my sister .
Its too shameful ! A Lampard cannot be reduced to being someones kept woman .
Well , someone made such a big move in Jardora to solve this matter for her so quickly .
Im afraid the backer Kylie found .
Im afraid hes around Dads age .
Melanies eyes spun around as she began to speculate , thinking her backer must be an old In the entertainment industry , this kind of thing is not surprising .
Even men with no deep background can be kept , not to mention girls with some looks .
But its just disgusting when it happens so close to home , Chris said , also turning grim Julie , who had just felt some sympathy for Kylie , seemed to be disgusted too after hearing her sons and daughters words .
Shes been back for not long and shes already causing so much trouble .
Tve got an idea ! Chris stared at his phone .
As he saw the PR departments plan , the clouds of worry on his face immediately cleared up .
At 7 PM in a barbecue restaurant on a bustling street , Ethan arrived ten minutes earlier than agreed and already ordered the barbecue and drinks .
When Kylie arrived , the grilled skewers had just been served .
The aroma of barbecued meat filled her senses , awakening her Inner foodie .
Back in high school , while Ethan was in college , he would work part time , save up some money , and then take her , James , and Hoard to the barbecue stalls because the prices were reasonable , and the taste was delicious .
Chapter 40 I was just craving soinebaberne .
You always know me best .
Fin .
Kylie said with a grin .
Ethan looked at Kylie , who was smiling like a little foodie , and he hid the worry and speculation in his eyes .
Then dont just stand there , come sit down , and dig in .
Ive ordered a lot , enough to satisfy your cravings SEND GIFT
