Divorce Anxiety
Chapter 99

Nancy knocked on John's head. “Hey! Speak properly!”“Haha... I meant I'll be counting on Kate'scooking to fill my stomach,” John explained, rubbing his head.Not bothered by John's choice ofwords at all, Kathleen went to the kitchen to prepare the food.The others did not idle around. Theyproceeded to clean the dining table, and then assisted Kathleen in the kitchen.In the meantime,Kylie went to see Cain. “I want to quit!"Speechless, Cain looked at her. “Are you sure?"Kylie saidangrily, “In any case, I don't want to be in this show anymore! Why don't you guys tell Kathleen tobe polite to me? I can't stand her!"Cain replied, “You should just quit then. You can't afford to offendher. Do you think we can?“Kylie responded grimly, “Mr. Dodson, you guys are cowards!"Cain let outa sneer. “Cowards? Kathleen has done nothing wrong. What's there to talk about?”Is it true thatKylie has lost her mind?Cain added, “If you wish to quit, get your manager to talk to us.” Then, heignored her and turned around.Kylie was indignant. She actually wanted to stay in theshow.However, she did not want Kathleen to outshine her.Even if Kathleen had won the AcademyAward for Best Actress, Kylie did not want to lose to her.During their first encounter, Kylie could tellthat Kathleen would be the biggest threat to her in the show.Kathleen was exceptionallygorgeous!She was practically a shining star!Kylie was very envious of her.We're both actresses. Whydoes she get all the attention and fame? I didn't think she'd be such a tough opponent.At thatmoment, her phone rang.She went out to answer the call. Her manager snapped at her over thephone, “Are you nuts? Why did you offend Kathleen? Why did you complain to Mr. Dodson? This isa live broadcast. I can't clear your name even if I want to!"Kylie pursed her lips. “It's just a livebroadcast. What's the big deal? She may have won the Academy Award for Best Actress, but I'm apopular actress too."Her manager was speechless. “Did you knock your head? Samuel debunked therumor right after you accused Kathleen of being abandoned by him. It's obvious that he is still inlove with her even though they're divorced! Moreover, Christopher is her fiancé now. Can you affordto offend her?"“I don't want to lose to her!” Kylie replied in dismay.“Suit yourself! Quit if you wantto. You breached the contract. You pay the price. It'll be threefold the amount of your remuneration.The representative from Astra Entertainment is dealing with the management now. Your bad daysare coming!"With that, her manager hung up the phone furiously.Kylie was dumbfounded.Why isn'tthe company defending me? The drama starring Steve and me is on air right now. I'll be famoussoon. I'll be generating lots of profit for the company! How could they give up on me? What shouldI do now?After dinner, Kathleen and the others went back to their rooms.The production teamprovided them with accommodation right next to the restaurant.it was a three-storybuilding.Kathleen and Nancy would be staying on the third floor.They were given one roomeach.Kathleen's belongings had been delivered by the time she returned to her room.She openedthe cases, took out her pajamas, a towel, and some toiletries, and went to take a shower After that,she sat by her bedside and picked up her phone.Charles had texted her: I've contacted Kylie's talentagency. I intend to acquire it.Kathleen replied to his text: Why do you always acquire companieswithout reason? Where did you learn that?Charles texted: Haha! Samuel almost acquired it before Idid. Fortunately, I'm one step ahead of him.Pursing her lips, Kathleen texted back: What does thishave to do with Samuel?Charles: Samuel posted on Twitter and took up the responsibility for thedivorce between you two. As a man, I respect him for that."Kathleen: Let bygones bebygones.Charles: What Samuel did to you was horrible. How can we let go of him so easily?Kathleen: What do you want to do?Charles: I'll hire ghostwriters to slander him!Kathleen: Do untoothers as you would have them do unto you, Charles. Drop it. I won't be in touch with him in thefuture.Charles: You're such a softie. You almost lost your life because of him. He made you lose twounborn children. Most importantly, he's keeping Nicolette somewhere safe. Do you know aboutthat?Kathleen's heart throbbed in pain.l haven't looked into it this year since I know that Samuel willnever leave her alone. There's no sign of her in Jadeborough ever since my return. However, I knowthat she’s most certainly under Samuel's protection now. He loves her so much. He'll never let hersuffer. He's probably thinking of keeping her safe until things have settled down. What a faithfulman.Kathleen: We didn't come back to deal with these, Charles.Charles: I know. Don'tworry.Kathleen: Good. Don't be swayed by your emotions.Charles: Vanessa will be attending abanquet. Do you want to go?Kathleen: Yes. Inform the production team for me, please. I want tomeet her.Charles: Okay. Leave it to me.With that, Kathleen put down her phone, stood up, andwalked to the mirror.Looking at her reflection, she lifted her hand and touched her face.No wonderNicolette and I look so alike. When Kathleen went downstairs the next day, she realized thateveryone else was sleeping in due to the exhaustion the day before.She decided to go to thekitchen to make some food.To her surprise, someone else was already there."You're awake, Kate.”Kylie stared at her as though nothing had happened between them.Unconcerned, Kathleen ignoredKylie.“I'm sorry for what happened yesterday, Kate. It's all my fault. Can you forgive me?” Kylie said,putting on an adorable face Kathleen's expression remained cold as she kept quiet.Has Kylie realizedthe error of her ways overnight? Impossible! Even I replace it hard to believe. Kylie must be willing tocompromise because she has something to gain. Someone like her will eventually stab you in theback when you don’t even know it."Kate?” Kylie looked at her with pitiful eyes.Kathleen remarkedcoldly, “You'll learn from your mistake when pigs fly, Kylie. When you addressed me so intimatelyyesterday, I was wondering just how audacious you could get. Everyone knows about your age.Furthermore, we aren't close. How could you address me that way? You wouldn't have called methat if you've really learned from your mistake."Kylie had intended to address Kathleen intimately inorder to gain the latter's favor.Kathleen paid her no mind.However, she decided to teach Kylie alesson when she realized that Kylie was still putting on her pretentious act.Kylie bit her lower lip."How should I address you then?"Kathleen was cold. “What do you think? Didn't your parents teachyou?"Feeling aggrieved, Kylie asked, “What does this have to do with my parents?“Kathleen repliedcoldly, “I'm just reminding you that your parents should have taught you basic manners. If you stilldon't know, that's your problem. Has your brain shrunk, or have you suffered a memory loss? Youshould consider medication. How can you make it if you have such a weak memory at such a youngage?"Kylie was at a loss for words.At that moment, Steve entered the kitchen. He frowned. “Why areyou still here?"“Steve, help me persuade Kate. She doesn’t want me to call her that. How else shouldI address her?” Kylie attempted to drag Steve into the smokeless war.
