Loving A STRANGER 162 Chapter 162: She Needed To Take Her Revenge

Lucas gave her a concerned look as he observed her reaction on what he spilled. For a few moments, Kylie didn't say anything at first and seemed to think the right answer would speak to him. 

Faith was tr.i.m.m.i.n.g her fingernails into a wastebasket but, once Lucas had his say, she felt she needed to have hers. "The entertainment industry is changing so fast," she said, "and there are so many new artists breaking out every day. Fame comes, and it goes. Our audience is finicky. You may be on top of the world today, but before you know it, you could be so much fuel for fodder. Furthermore, from the industries' perspective, as long as they are making money, they couldn't care less who is making it for them – they couldn't give a s.h.i.+t who is making it for them. Certainly, Laurence doesn't care if you succeed or not," she pauses for a while and stares at Kylie. 

"He is a very cunning man," Faith continued, "but Kylie should get the last word. Sooner or later, she will have fifty-one percent of the shares, and then she will be in charge. Of course, Laurence thinks that Khloe will eventually take over, but he is too blinded by his love for her to see how dumb she is – and, on the other end of the spectrum, he is too blinded by his hatred towards Kylie to see how smart she is." She sighed after blurting her opinion.

"The man is a dolt," Lucas added, speaking of his old employer, "Khloe can't compete with Kylie. Kylie is better looking than Khloe is. Kylie has a kinder heart. Her skin is soft and flawless. Khloe's face looks cold and stiff. There is no visual appeal to her, and she isn't even a good actress. I can't accept the fast why she became an actress, first and foremost,"

Upon hearing Lucas's opinion, Kylie suddenly said, "I think she had plastic surgery, and that is why her skin is so tight. She has been asked before if she did and she said she didn't, but I think she's lying. Obviously, n.o.body at her age wants to admit that they've had plastic surgery. Will an actress in today's generation tell the public that they've undergone plastic surgery?"

"I agree with you. Living under your shadow," Faith said, "Khloe must feel a lot of pressure to be more than she actually is. She even exerts a lot of effort to grab Aiden from you," A loud wave of laughter came out from Faith's mouth. 

They were still chatting about Khloe when Ethan came out of the kitchen with a second round of food. The big muscular man looked silly with his pink cartoon ap.r.o.n on, and everyone, including Ethan, had a good chuckle.

Kylie took the dishes from his hands and put them on the table, and then she walked back to him and put her arms around his waist. She looked up at him and said, "You must have heard what we were talking about…"

Ethan nodded, but he didn't say any words. 

Kylie quickly lifted her arms and snaked it to Ethan's neck, "Then, are you thinking what I'm thinking?"

Ethan ruffled her hair, smiled, and said, "I think you thought that we need to fight fire with fire. After all, we both aim for revenge, isn't it?"

Kylie smiled at her husband, "It is almost as if you can read my thoughts. You deserve some reward from me," A seductive look came across her eyes. It melted Ethan's heart while looking at his little wife. He can't easily flirt nor kiss her in front of their visitors. 

 When Kylie had first auditioned for the Tea Maiden, Khloe had given her too much praise. By doing this, she had set Kylie up to fail. In front of everyone, she had spoken highly of Kylie and publicly expressed high expectations for her. Then, when Kylie failed to live up to the hype, it was Khloe who was given the part of the leading lady, and Kylie was cast as a supporting actress.

Because the press had expected that Kylie would be cast in the leading lady's role, when they heard that she hadn't been, they suspected that it was because of some character flaw. Thinking about this, Kylie had set her mind to the task of figuring out a way to play the exact same trick on Khloe. 

Kylie knew all her wicked ways to make her appear evil in the public eye, and her step-sister would look a victim. She couldn't let her ruin all her plans. She was much better and smarter than Khloe. The only one who helped her was her beloved father, who did nothing but condemns her as a stubborn daughter. If only Laurence knew how much she was hurting, he might have realized the wrong things he had done to his own family. Kylie can't forget her mother's agony, and she can't let go of her own father. She needed to take her revenge. 

"What do you suggest we do?" Ethan wondered.

"Let's remain silent for now," Kylie replied. "The more positive attention Khloe gets, the worse off it will be for her in the end. It is like my mother used to say: 'The bigger they are, the harder they fall.'

"Exactly," Ethan said excitedly. "The Bible says something similar: Pride comes before a fall, and a haughty spirit before destruction."

Listening to Ethan preach, Lucas looked to him and then back to Kylie. "This," he laughed, "sounds like a lot of fun!"
