Chapter 7 Brent, You’re Really Ruthless

The international supermodel didn’t think that far ahead. She just wanted to live in the moment and make Brent and Hillary pay for what they did.

At noon, on the eve of Rainer Entertainment’s meeting, Brent took her to a surprise candlelit lunch at the downstairs Western restaurant. Lilian sat down with his help in front of a table. adorned with red roses and candles without showing any emotion.

“I ordered your favorite sirloin steak for you…”

Lilian was stunned and speechless. She had been with Brent for almost five years, yet he couldn’t remember her preferences.

“What? Don’t you like it?”

Just as Lilian was about to speak up, a tall chef dressed in white approached them holding a tray and said to Lilian: “Miss Moore, we have fillet steak today which is your favorite dish. On behalf of Defei Western Restaurant, I wish you happiness on your wedding day.”

Brent’s face changed slightly upon hearing this but he couldn’t react much except changing plates for Lilian: “Have your taste buds changed?”

“Thank you but we haven’t gotten married yet!” Lilian ignored Brent’s comment but turned to the chef instead: “But thank you so much! You remembered my preference after only one. time!”

The polite chef left while Lilian shifted her gaze back.

“I’ll remember next time…what my wife likes!” Brent seemed like he was talking more to himself than anyone else.

“Eat quickly; we still need to go over some documents later.” While keeping calm on the surface, Lilian sneered inwardly. During this interval though she received an SMS from Kevin named ‘0819, which meant yesterday when they got married.

“The steak was sent by me; it means congratulations on our marriage,” read Kevin’s message.

Lilian chuckled then replied under the table: “How did you know where I was?”

“I can replace out if I want to,” Kevin replied calmly.

Lilian looked around but couldn’t see Kevin’s figure. Although she didn’t know how he managed to send this thoughtful gift, Lilian could feel his presence like that of an emperor – impossible to ignore or refuse.

“Lilian, what are you looking at?” Brent interrupted her gaze and asked with suspicion in his chestnut eyes.

“Nothing…” Lilian shook her head and changed the topic calmly: “Brent, when should we register our marriage again?”

“After this storm passes. You know Hillary is up for the Top Ten Model Award; it’s a great opportunity for her career. Luckily we have you; otherwise…Hillary might be ruined.” Brent poured red wine into their glasses then raised his cup towards Lilian.

“I’ll make sure to pay you back twice as much.” Lilian smiled softly with shallow dimples on her cheeks making her look even more beautiful.

But at this moment, Brent couldn’t see anything else except Hillary who had been. whispering sweet nothings in his ear for years. He wouldn’t notice any hidden meanings behind Lilian’s words either.

“Lilian, you’ve suffered…”

Lilian understood that this was the only sweet talk before letting her take all the blame but it was also poisonous.

“And after the press conference later today, contact your agent Sylvia. It seems like dealing with someone like her can only be done through legal means.”

“Okay.” Lilian smiled as sweetly as spring water flowing down a stream but thinking about. taking action against Sylvia was impossible!

At 2:30 pm in Rainer Entertainment’s lobby, various fashion media people had already gathered there and were very interested in what Lilian would say publicly since she retired from modeling suddenly and signed with Rainer Entertainment instead while replacing Hillary on stage which made them curious about why she did all this. Lilian had been very low-key since her retirement, making it difficult for people to replace any negative news about her.

This was the perfect opportunity. At three o’clock in the afternoon, Lilian appeared under the protection of her bodyguards, dressed simply and elegantly. She walked slowly up the steps and turned to face the media with grace. The reporters immediately clamored to ask

questions.

“Lilian, you are ranked first on the internet news hot list. Are you buying your way to the

top?”

“Lilian, both you and Hillary are models for Rainer Entertainment, but it’s been Hillary who has been getting all of the attention at events lately. Have you been sidelined by Rainer Entertainment due to dissatisfaction with Hillary’s popularity?”

“Lilian, are you just trying to create a buzz?”

In response to this sudden chaos, Lilian’s team immediately stepped forward to maintain

order and finally gave Lilian a chance to speak.

“Firstly, I want to apologize publicly for any damage that my personal actions have caused our company’s reputation as well as for all of the speculation surrounding Miss Hillary.”

“The hf Crown Star fashion show was my own decision; I went without informing either my company or Miss Hillary beforehand. This had nothing whatsoever do with my company or Rainer Entertainment or Miss Hillary.”

“I… did indeed try creating some buzz! But my agent knew nothing about it; she was only being used by me. At this time I will take full responsibility for everything that happened. here today and thank everyone for their supervision.”

As soon as Lilian finished speaking there was an uproar throughout the entire room….

The journalists were all stirred up because they had never seen an artist so straightforwardly admit their mistakes like this before. Most people would be eager clear themselves of blame but instead she took full responsibility herself without implicating her agent or anyone else. from her company including Hilary.

Lilian thought that would be enough but she didn’t expect Brent still had another trick up

his sleeve: In order prove that she was trying create hype he got the artist director to his sleeve: In order prove that she was trying

deliberately walk up beside her and say to the media, “This isn’t the first time this has happened but… I and our company are willing to give you one last chance, Lilian. We hope that you will learn from your mistakes and focus on being a model.”

“This isn’t the first time” was meant to refute Sylvia’s statement accusing her of using every opportunity she had walking for Hillary as an opportunity for self-promotion.

Brent, you’re really ruthless.

Lilian didn’t say anything but bowed deeply in front of the media before leaving with her team’s protection…

For a while there were angry voices all over social media; after all Lilian had admitted everything so straightforwardly that it was easy for people to see what was going on. Even inside Century Studios they were discussing this matter as if it were a joke.

After Kevin finished his meeting he heard about what had happened and turned around looking at his assistant in confusion. The assistant then told him about how Lilian held a press conference word-for-word: “Mr. Alexander, do you want me to take any measures. against Miss Moore?”

“Not yet; let’s see how she handles things.” Kevin replied softly. He’d already said before that he was curious about Lilian’s reaction because he’d intervened twice before so this time he wanted to see what kind of person Lilian truly is.

Is his wife really going be brought down by these kinds of schemes?
