“Mr. Tristan?”
Lorelei’s knees went weak immediately.
Based on her identity, there was no way she would ever have a chance to see Tristan. Since Clayton said this man is Mr. Tristan, that must be him. He’s a legend and a myth in Jipsdale. Not only is he ruthless, but he’s also cold-hearted.
Fortunately for her, she managed to grasp Clayton’s shirt just in time. Otherwise, she would’ve slumped to the ground.
“Mr. Tristan, out of respect for me, would you be willing to let this slide?”
Either way, Clayton had to protect Lorelei because she was his woman.
“Out of respect for you?”
Tristan thought he had just heard the funniest joke in the world. “Mr. Zales, I barely know you. What kind of respect do you expect me to have for you?”
Tristan took Sophie’s phone from her hand and pressed a few buttons. Just like that, he managed to switch on the phone.
There were a lot of people nearby, but no one said a word. They were all looking at Tristan and wondering about he was doing with the phone.
After he switched the phone on, he pressed on the photo album.
After looking through the photos, he tossed the phone to Lorelei. “Ms. Crawford, please check if there’s any photo of yours in there, will you?”
Lorelei’s hands were trembling at that point. Even if there were photos of her in there, she wouldn’t dare to say it.
However, she could not fine any.
“I…”
Lorelei couldn’t even spit her words out. Most people in the entertainment industry would pay her the utmost respect. Hence, she had a false sense of superiority.
That day, however, she had gotten herself into deep trouble, and there was nothing she could do to salvage the situation.
“I’m sorry. I must’ve been w-wrong,”
Lorelei stammered.
“Well, why are you apologizing to me for? You’ve got the wrong person.”
Tristan crossed his arms and looked down at her.
“I’m truly sorry, little girl. I’ve misunderstood you. Please forgive me, okay?”
Lorelei apologized.
The crowd was stunned. Who is this man? How did he make Clayton’s girlfriend beg for forgiveness?“Now you’re sorry? Where did your arrogance go?”
Sophie scoffed. She despised people like Lorelei. Since she dared to act haughtily, she should just maintain it. She’s apologizing just because Tristan showed up. She’s just a disgusting coward.
Lorelei’s legs could barely support herself, and she dropped to her knees. “I’m sorry. I get it now. I won’t do such a thing again.”
Despite always being an arrogant person, Lorelei had no choice but to kneel and beg for forgiveness in front of Tristan.
While that was happening, Clayton merely stood beside her and kept quiet.
“Let’s go!”
Tristan was unhappy with himself. If I didn’t answer the phone in the car just now, I wouldn’t get caught up for so long, and she wouldn’t have to endure everything on her own.
She took the initiative and held his hand. It was as if she knew he was blaming himself for what had happened. “I’m fine, really. I’m not bothered by what they said.”
For some unknown reason, the more time she spent with Tristan, the more she didn’t like to see him blaming himself.
“Clayton, I—”
Lorelei knew how embarrassing that was, but that was the only thing she could do in Tristan’s presence.
Clayton interrupted her speech by saying, “Lorelei, I think this is the end for us. Don’t come looking for me again.”
With that, Clayton went to his car and drove away.
Lorelei panicked because she never expected things to turn out that way. If she knew that would happen, she wouldn’t dare to mess with Sophie.
“Clayton, I know I was wrong.”
Lorelei was on the verge of crying. What is my life going to be like now that I’ve crossed Mr. Tristan? I’ve already sacrificed so much to get to where I am today.
“Well, you know who Tristan is, and what he’s capable of. Yet, you went on to mess with his woman. You’ve got balls, all right.”
He wasn’t scared of Tristan. However, he wasn’t willing to make an enemy out of Tristan in public for a girl’s sake.
By then, the crowd was looking at her and murmuring among themselves. They were all talking about how Clayton had just dumped Lorelei.
Clayton pushed through the crowd and left. She didn’t dare to imagine how her life would be without Clayton by her side.
Cecelia was livid when she saw the news that day.
Unlike others, she knew who Lorelei was fighting with because she recognized Sophie at a glance. “Lorelei is getting more and more ballsy, isn’t she? Her bullying is getting out of hand!”
I’ve been busting my chops the whole afternoon because of the new movie, and Lorelei was busy bullying Sophie.
“All right. Calm down, okay? Judging by the situation, I’m sure Ms. Tanner has already taught her a lesson. Isn’t that good enough?”
Her agent tried to calm Cecelia down because it was foolish to cause trouble right after the release of the new movie.
However, Cecelia couldn’t let it slide. “I know Soph is capable, but how could I not do anything knowing that she was bullied? I must do something for her as a friend.”
Her agent was feeling rather helpless.
“Give me my phone. I need to teach her a lesson so that she knows what not to do,”
Cecelia uttered.
Cecelia had never been involved in feuds in the entertainment industry. For Sophie’s sake, however, she decided to have a go at it.
Her agent was reluctant to pass Cecelia her phone. “Cecelia, why don’t we just focus on making movies? Why must you waste time having feuds with other celebrities? I don’t see the point of it.”
“Well, that’s because I’m doing it for Soph. Quick! Give me my phone.”
Cecelia knew her agent was unaware of the relationship she had with Sophie. Hence, Cecelia knew why the agent had advised her against doing so. However, it was something she was determined to do.
Upon seeing how determined she was, the agent shook her head and passed Cecelia her phone. I hope this doesn’t cause too big of a problem. The movie had just been released, and we have two of the main characters fighting against each other. I don’t see how this will look good on any of them.
Cecelia proceeded to upload a tweet on Lorelei’s wall before giving her phone back to her agent.
The agent’s lips twitched when she saw what Cecelia tweeted. Wow! Cecelia knows what she’s doing, doesn’t she? Those are some nice words!Cecelia tweeted: Ms. Crawford said Soph was trying to take a photo of her secretly. Does she not know that Soph was the one who booked ten thousand showings in the afternoon? Considering that, would a person who had booked ten thousand showings take a photo of someone secretly? Who does Ms. Crawford think she is?A few moments after Cecelia tweeted, it was retweeted a hundred thousand times.
All of a sudden, Lorelei was the talk of the town.
When Lorelei finally arrived home, she saw her agent waiting for her with a grim expression.
“What’s up?”
Lorelei didn’t know what had happened on Twitter.
“Lorelei, how famous do you think you are?”
The agent was enraged. The movie was just released, and she had already done such a thing. Does she know how damaging this is?“What is it?”
Lorelei thought she had already had enough bad news on her plate. What else can happen?“See for yourself!”
The agent passed Lorelei her phone. Lorelei’s facial expression changed dramatically when she saw the tweet Cecelia had uploaded.
“What should we do now? I didn’t see this coming! Hey, you’ve helped me ever since I joined the entertainment industry. Will you help me deal with this now? I really don’t know what to do. I didn’t know that girl is associated with Mr. Tristan.”
Upon hearing that, the agent finally realized how Sophie could book the showings from Cecelia. “What? Mr. Tristan? Are you talking about the ‘Mr. Tristan’?”
