Chapter 815
Alone and ousted to the bustling street, Lindsey’s elegantly tied hair had come undone in the struggle, now haphazardly cascading over her neck.
Her face flushed with frustration.
Filming nearby at the Emperor Hotel, Kristy spotted a familiar yet disliked figure at the entrance.
Seeing Lindsey in her current disheveled state, Kristy almost failed to suppress her laughter.
Unaware of her surroundings, Lindsey was absorbed in responding to a message from Nancy when she was abruptly interrupted by a sneering voice.
“Well, well, if it isn’t Lindsey Stewart the famous agent!”
Lindsey met Kristy’s scornful gaze, and the latter scrutinized her before letting out a derisive snort, covering her mouth theatrically.
“Look at you now.
How the mighty have fallen.
Seems like you’ve been given the boot.
”
Lindsey’s demeanor turned icy as she encountered Kristy, a highly unwelcome situation.
Running into Kristy now felt like adding insult to injury.
“Oh, you’ve truly outdone yourself this time.
What happened?” Kristy feigned, looking around.
“Didn’t your boyfriend come along? Or did he bail on you because you were unfaithful?”
Kristy was thoroughly amused as she taunted, “Or perhaps you excel at managing your company and talents, capitalizing on their popularity to enhance your fame while engaging in clandestine affairs with your male talent? Lindsey, you certainly seize every opportunity that comes your way.
”
Lindsey reached her limit with Kristy’s mockery.
Her gaze narrowed as she spoke firmly, “Miss Chase, I appreciate your interest, but kindly attend to your own matters.
My interactions with my talents are not your concern.
Perhaps it would be wise for you to address your own issues.
I’ve noticed your frequent changes in companions.
It might be prudent to exercise discretion.
You wouldn’t want to catch something unpleasant,” Lindsey replied, casually adjusting her hair with a subtle smile dancing on her Lips.
Kristy was left dumbfounded.
Lindsey’s words struck a nerve, leaving her seething with anger and embarrassment.
“Don’t talk rubbish.
”
“Whether I’m talking nonsense or not, you’re well aware of the rumors surrounding your exploits,” Lindsey said with a knowing smile, watching as Kristy’s face paled in response.
In reality, Lindsey just said those words casually.
There had been rumors circulating about Kristy’s tumultuous personal life, her frequent changes of partners, and her tendency to gravitate towards wealthy patrons.
During her time with Vitality Entertainment, such rumors were swiftly quashed, barely making a ripple.
However, since her transition to Gallop Entertainment, Kristy had found herself constantly under the scrutiny of tabloids.
Unlike its predecessor, Gallop Entertainment adopted a more public-facing stance, dismissing the rumors as unfounded and threatening legal action against the media.
However, observing Kristy’s reaction, Lindsey couldn’t shake the feeling that where there was smoke, there Likely existed a fire.
This led her to contemplate the veracity of the allegations and how much truth they held compared to mere fiction.
“What are you talking about? How could I possibly know that?” Kristy raised her voice, trying to mask her uncertainty.
Lindsey shot her a quick, impassive glance and stated firmly, “Miss Chase, let me offer you some advice.
Misdeeds inevitably surface.
What goes around comes around.
”
Feeling cornered, Kristy clenched her fists in frustration.
“Spare me the sanctimony, Lindsey.
Who knows what skeletons you’ve hidden in your closet to have so many people deliberately gunning for you? You’re in no position to worry about me when you can barely save yourself? You certainly seem to attract a lot of attention!”
Lindsey’s expression darkened as she said more intensely, “Are you implying that someone is purposefully singling me out? Tell me what you know.
”
Realizing she had said too much, Kristy panicked briefly.
“It’s all just speculation.
Rather than fixating on that, you should figure out how to explain your association with that male artist to everyone.
”
Responding calmly, Lindsey stated, “My relationship with Sumner is transparent and aboveboard.
I’ll gather evidence and set the record straight myself.
Can you do the same?”
Lindsey’s sharp comeback left Kristy speechless.
To Gallop Entertainment, she was merely a disposable pawn, protected superficially for the company’s image on minor matters.
But they wouldn’t hesitate to discard her when faced with more serious issues that could jeopardize the company’s interests.
Ultimately, her destiny lay in the hands of others.
Pursing her lips, Kristy glared at Lindsey.
“Don’t just talk tough.
Let’s see how you worm your way out of this scandal!”
With those words, Kristy spun on her high heels and stormed away.
The confidence Lindsey had mustered deflated like a burst balloon, and she staggered back a couple of steps.Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
Perplexed, she struggled to understand why she consistently ended up in such frustrating scenarios.
As her phone rang, it caught her off guard.
Lately, she had grown more attuned to its ring.
After seeing Domenic’s name on the screen, she answered the call.
