Chapter 933 Hung Up
Sophie stood there silently, an icy smirk playing on her lips. Did she just say that Ysabelle got hurt because of an oversight? How could she say that? I can’t believe she’s shameless enough to show up
When the paparazzi spotted Sophie, they quickly gathered around her.
“How is Ms. Lombard doing?”
“Is Ms. Lombard severely injured? Will it affect her recent developments?”
here.
Despite the barrage of questions from the paparazzi, Sophie silenced them all instantly with a single glance.
“Ms. Miller, Ysabelle is presently taking some much-needed rest due to her injury. If you have any inquiries, kindly direct them to TS Entertainment’s lawyer.”
Right then, Sean showed up.
He pulled out his name card and gave it to Elena.
“I’m TS Entertainment’s lawyer, Sean Burton.”
The paparazzi were so taken aback that they promptly forgot to snap any photos. None of them had anticipated Sean to be the lawyer representing TS Entertainment. After all, he was renowned for his impeccable track record in the legal profession.
Elena’s face paled. She had been with Lucas long enough to hear about Sean’s reputation.
Given his frequent involvement in high-profile cases, nobody had expected that he would take charge of Ysabelle’s case this time.
“I’ll leave this to you. I will accompany Ysabelle as her emotions are currently unstable.” Sophie’s voice was so loud that the paparazzi could hear her clearly.
Elena clenched her fists.
She must’ve said that on purpose! She’s the third daughter of the Tanner family, the CEO of TS Entertainment- undeniably beautiful, yet seemingly devoid of compassion.
“You were the one who caused harm to Ysabelle, right? Don’t worry. You’ll receive the court summons soon,” Sean said, his voice sounding melodious. However, an ominous undertone lingered, adding a menacing quality to his words.
Elena’s assistant, Stella, panicked instantly, for Sean looked really scary.
“Mr. Burton, how are you related to TS Entertainment? Why did you accept this case?”
Sean was unwilling to answer any questions and left without saying anything. He had never liked talking to the media.
Having heard about his reputation, no one dared to provoke him.
While Stella might have accumulated considerable experience working for Elena over the years, their opponent this time was Sean, a formidable force to reckon with.
“Ms. Miller, what should we do? You have to help me. This was your”
Elena gave her a slap that stopped her short.
“What is wrong with you? You’ve been working for me for so long. I can’t believe you did this behind my back. Stella, this is completely unacceptable!”
Stella stared at Elena incredulously.
“Ms. Miller, what are you talking about? Didn’t you tell me to do that? Are you putting the blame on me now?”
She’s guilty of intentional assault.
Elena’s anger was palpable. “Stop spouting nonsense. Why on earth would I instruct you to do such a thing?”
If she continues talking nonsense, I’ll make sure she pays the price.
The paparazzi promptly understood what was going on. Stella wouldn’t have done that without Elena’s order, but Elena was pinning the blame on her.
Clearly, Stella was going to take the fall for Elena.
Ysabelle’s fans had also arrived after they learned about the incident. Filled with rage, they vented their anger by hurling the items they were holding at both Elena and Stella.
A chaos descended.
Ever since her debut, Elena had always enjoyed popularity and appeared before the public in fashionable attire. This was the first instance she had been subjected to such treatment.
Eventually, the security guards of the hospital intervened and prevented the crowd from attacking them. allowing Elena and Stella to make their escape in their car.
Inside the secure confines of the car, Elena began trembling with fury.
Her reputation had been utterly destroyed.
“Stella, you’ve been working for me for quite some time, so I expect you to understand what needs to be done. If you take the blame for me, I can help your family out,” Elena declared coldly.
She was determined to extract herself from the incident.
Stella dared not look at Elena for the latter looked really scary now.
“Ms. Miller, I’ve been loyal and dedicated to you for a long time, giving my utmost effort. Please, you must help me. You asked me to do this!”
How could she pin the blame on me?
I’m a celebrity. I can’t let this taint my life,” Elena replied indifferently.
“But if I confess to doing that, what will become of me? Who else will dare to hire me in the future?” Stella finally realized the consequences of her actions.
Chapter 933 Hung Up
“I’ll give you five million,” Elena snapped, thinking that should be enough to shut her mouth.
“Ms. Miller-
“That’s enough. You know what I’m capable of, don’t you? You should know what to tell the reporters later.”.
Lucas should’ve found out about the matter, but he didn’t bother calling me. He doesn’t even care about me. He never cares about me. What the f*ck did I do?
Xandra wasn’t at all surprised to receive Lucas’ phone call. When she arrived at the cafe where they were supposed to meet, Lucas was already waiting for her there.
“What would you like to drink? The same as usual?”
Xandra shook her head. “No. My preference has changed now.” After all, nothing in this world remains unchanged indefinitely. “You must be here for Elena.” Xandra didn’t like beating around the bush and preferred to go straight to the topic. “I can’t help you. Do you know who Ysabelle is? She’s the daughter of the Lombard family, who owns Lombard Group. You must’ve heard of Mr. Tristan, right? No one can help Elena this time.””
“I’m not here for Elena. I’m here for you,” came Lucas reply.
“Me?” Xandra leaned back on the couch as a smirk played on her lips. “If you’re here for me, I’m afraid I’ll have to disappoint you. I’m doing just fine now.” It was true, as she could now attain everything she desired.
Lucas pleaded, “Xandra, come back to me. I need you.”
Xandra shook her head.
“If you’re not here to discuss Elena’s matter, I’m afraid we have nothing else to talk about, Xandra stated firmly. The coffee had just been served, but without even taking a sip, she promptly rose from her seat and prepared to depart.
Lucas quickly went after her and grabbed her hand.
“Xandra, do you really have to be like this?”
“I gave up completely when I walked away three years ago. Lucas, I don’t love you anymore, so you no longer have the power to hurt me.”
When she was still in love with Lucas, he possessed the ability to inflict pain upon her effortlessly.
However, now that her feelings for him had faded into thin air, nothing he did could cause her any harm.
After leaving the cafe, Xandra made her way to the hospital.
Observing her expression, Sophie exclaimed, “He went to see you!” It was clear who she was talking about.
“Yeah.”
“Are you still hung up on him?”
“Of course not. Every girl is bound to come across at least one seam in their life.”
