Chapter 115: Involved In The Negative Reports
Ethan stared at Kylie and William expressionlessly. Ignoring William, Ethan turned to Kylie, “You can go get changed. Breakfast is ready.”
Kylie turned around and finally faced Ethan. She gulped at Ethan’s expression; even though he seemed to have no expression, Kylie could detect the underlying anger and confusion in his eyes. Nodding at Ethan’s request, Kylie walked back to the house, leaving William with a fleeting glance.
William watched Kylie walk back with anger. She was a bitch; how dare she lie to his face more than once? She had told him that her marriage to his uncle was just for the show! So what was all this? How could she explain the loving looks and the kisses? Kylie Finch, you damn liar!
Kylie walked back to her room and changed out of her nightgown. Her heart was still rushing from her talk with William. Her life was exactly like a Twilight zone. First, she had that strange dinner with William, Nate, and her husband, and now William randomly showed up at her house drunk and insisting, no demanding, to tell him she did not sleep with Ethan! Was she in a strange dream?
Trying to get rid of all these thoughts from her head, Kylie walked downstairs and into the kitchen. Their kitchen island was set with a grand breakfast. Several types of juices, tea, coffee, waffles, jam, and eggs, were tastefully set on plates for two making Kylie’s stomach growl. While she was admiring the spread and thinking about frying some bacon, Ethan walked inside and hugged Kylie from behind, making her jump.
“I’ve told you, don’t do that,” Kylie whined like a child.
Ethan lifted her onto the island, almost knocking the glasses down. Kylie embraced his neck with her legs swaying, “Since you can’t ‘eat’ me now, I need to cook something to fill up your stomach.”

Khloe threw down the latest issue of Extreme Luxury in anger on the table.
“Bitch!” Khloe spat out, spit flying out from her mouth.
Hearing the commotion, Aiden’s mother, Taylor, walked down the stairs towards the fuming Khloe.
“What happened, Khloe, everything okay?” Taylor called out softly.
Khloe, at hearing her voice, quickly schooled her thoughts and expression into nonchalance.Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
“Oh, Taylor! I didn’t see you there. I’m sorry. I’m…you know…my pregnancy emotions are just getting out of hand sometimes!” Khloe spluttered out, trying to seem flustered in front of Aiden’s mother’s inquisitive eyes. At the same time, Khloe tried to shuffle the papers in front of her in order to hide the magazine cover.
“Really? You seem rather annoyed at someone from your yelling,” Taylor asked skeptically. Taylor had always seen Khloe as a pleasant and stable-minded young girl, not at all showing these random angry outbursts as she did now.
Taylor adjusted the bandage around her wrist with impatience appearing in her eyes. Khloe was adept at understanding others, and she knew Taylor well enough to see her become irritated. Thinking quickly, Khloe pouted and came close to Taylor, massaging her shoulders carefully.
“Well, the thing is Taylor, I’m going to compete for the Oscars, but my older sister ruined all of this for me,” Khloe pouted, pretending to fake cry even though she wanted to rip apart Kylie’s face rather than cry pathetically.
It worked just as Khloe had thought. Immediately, Taylor turned around and started to comfort Khloe, patting her back, “Don’t cry. Tell your mother what has that bitch done recently?”
Khloe had been deeply involved in the negative reports these days, and Aiden had told his family the woman in those sexual tapes was not Khloe herself but a substitute actress to protect Khloe. So, in Taylor’s eyes, Khloe still remained innocent.
Khloe picked the magazine up and handed it to Taylor, “That was supposed to be me on the cover, but Kylie stole this opportunity right from my hands. And she’s even claimed in front of my face that she is going to snatch both my job and Aiden from me!” Khloe sobbed out loudly. “Such a famous and high-end magazine replaced me with my older sister, who has no fame; she is nothing compared to me! Kylie has to be behind this! But there has to be someone helping her! She’s not smart enough to think all this through!”
After she had finished ranting, Khloe took a closer look at Taylor, wanting to know her attitude from her expression. Taylor frowned gently as if being upset by what Khloe was saying.
Thus, Khloe decided to add fuel to the fire, “Mom, it doesn’t matter actually that I’ve lost my job. I don’t care about that. What I am worried about is Kylie taking Aiden away from me. Aiden now feels guilty towards her already since he has found out Kylie is the one who has saved his life, not me. Mom, you know, my older sister has a messy personal life. If she keeps being around Aiden…I mean, what if Kylie has a STD…I mean, she does work around a lot…” Khloe hinted to Taylor.
Taylor’s frown got deeper and deeper as Khloe continued on talking. When she uttered the word ‘STD,’ Taylor’s mouth formed an ‘o’ in horror. Aiden was her only son and the heir to their property, as well as the Parker Family business. If anything happened to him…no, she could not even bear the thought! There was no way Taylor would allow that tramp Kylie to win her son’s heart. Over her dead body!
Taylor looked over at Khloe as a plan started to form in her mind.
“Who the hell does Kylie think she is! Don’t worry, dear; I’ll handle everything, you don’t need to worry. Don’t overburden your mind with this crap!” Taylor hugged Khloe. “Come on, let’s go to the hospital, we’re almost late for your appointment.”
Khloe nodded gloomily in response even though she was cheering from the inside. She had succeeded in bringing Taylor to her side, who would no doubt be her biggest ally in defeating Kylie.
“Um…Mom? I’ve already contacted a private doctor to take care of me until the baby is born. I don’t feel comfortable going to a public doctor…Hope you don’t mind?”
