Chapter 22 I won't hurt others unless they hurt me first

"Do you know that Brent asked me to host the platform event?" Lilian turned her head in surprise and looked at Sylvia, thinking that Sylvia had told Kevin. However, Sylvia quickly shook her head to indicate that she had nothing to do with it.

"In this circle, as long as I want to know, I can find out."

At this moment, Lilian seemed no longer surprised why Kevin could reach the top of the entertainment industry. So she smiled at Kevin and said: "Don't worry, you have given me all your weapons. I will definitely solve this matter satisfactorily."

Kevin didn't say anything but just reached out and touched Lilian's hair.

After finishing the advertisement shooting, the three returned to Los Angeles together. However, on the plane, Lilian and Kevin rested together side by side. After getting off the plane though they walked away from each other like strangers. Brent even sent his new agent Elena to pick them up.

At the airport exit, Elena was wearing a light purple chiffon skirt with ten-inch high heels on her feet. She wore sunglasses and kept looking down at her watch while holding onto someone's arm impatiently exuding an air of impatience all over her body as if she were an international superstar who should be welcomed instead of picking up clients.

Lilian saw a sign with her name placed next to Elena's feet but completely ignored Elena herself and walked out of the airport directly with Sylvia.

Sylvia chuckled silently; Lilian was becoming more temperamental day by day. But halfway through their journey back home in their car ride together,Lilian received a call from Elena: "Lilian where are you? Didn't we agree for you guys' flight landing time is twelve o'clock?"

"I'm already on my way back to Rainer Entertainment," replied Lilian in a flat tone.

"Didn't you see me when you came out of the airport?"

"I did," Lilian replied calmly without any emotional fluctuations.

"Then why didn't you look for me?" Elena was driven crazy by Lilian's attitude.

"You were wearing sunglasses. I thought you were here to walk the runway..." Lilian sarcastically retorted back at her.

"... "Elena was blocked and turned red with anger, so she had no choice but to hang up the phone and rush to the company instead.

Although Elena had been in this industry for a long time, her vision was very short-sighted. Therefore, her reputation as an agent has always been notorious within the circle. This time Hillary invited her over specifically to deal with Lilian, but unexpectedly she got scolded by Lilian before even meeting her face-to-face.

So she felt resentful that now that Lilian is just an outdated model who dared not put herself under Elena's eyes?

...

Twenty minutes later, Lilian arrived at Rainer Entertainment first and pushed open Brent's office door directly upon entering: "I'm waiting for your explanation." She said while placing both hands on Brent's desk. "So it’s true between you and Hillary right?"

Brent stopped his work and hesitated for a moment before cunningly changing topics: "You just got off the plane; how come you came straight to the company?"

"How long has it been?"Lilian continued with what they were talking about earlier. "How long have you been together with Hillary?"

"Lilian!" Brent suddenly shouted loudly,"I am really fed up with you! Do you know how annoying you are? Can’t You do something like pleasing men like Hillary does? Which woman is like You who keeps nagging every day?”

Lilian slowly withdrew her hands and looked at Brent teasingly; Her emotions seemed much calmer than what Brent expected: "What are you two treating me as? Toys?"

"Lilian, let's break up... I am indeed with Hillary now, and we truly love each other." Brent told Lilian about this matter as if he was telling a stranger who had nothing to do with him. "Don't blame me either. Love is irrational. From now on, we will only have a superior-subordinate relationship. I am your boss, and you are my artist!"

Lilian sneered and curled her lips; her emotions were much calmer than what Brent expected: "So you don't plan to release me from the contract then? Because if you let me go, Hillary will never see the light of day again."

"I'm sorry... You still have to wait for three years.""Is it because of this that you arranged such a platform event for me?" Lilian continued to question.

"With your current status, this platform is more than suitable for you," Brent replied, sitting back in his chair and opening a file. "If there's nothing else, you may leave. Also, Elena is your new agent. From now on, you must follow her arrangements."

Five years of effort just for the sake of a dog!

Lilian couldn't say she wasn't heartbroken, but more than anything else, she was filled with anger.

"Do you know what happens to ungrateful people in the end? They don't have a good ending." After saying this sentence, Lilian turned around and left Brent's office. Of course, her belief that Rainer Entertainment should disappear from the entertainment industry was also firm and strong.

Lilian returned to her own resting room when Elena rushed back from the airport without even knocking on the door. She went straight in and pointed at Lilian while scolding her: "Do you even know that starting today I am your artist? Do you still want to be a model or do endorsements? How dare you treat me like this... Are you stupid?"

After hearing these words from Elena, Lilian suddenly stood up from her chair step by step and approached Elena: "Repeat those last four words again?"

"I asked if you were stupid?" Elena arrogantly repeated herself as she spoke. But before she could finish speaking those words again,Lilian slapped her across the face with force,"This slap is teaching how to behave properly."

Elena was shocked;her eyes widened as if readying herself for retaliation.But then,Lilian took out her phone and showed negative news about Elena:"I have many photos like these on my phone.If I decide to send them to four media outlets based on those last four words,you will be ruined."

Elena paused briefly,somewhat unclear about what Lilian meant. Then she saw the evidence of her seducing a director on the screen and suddenly felt confused.

This couldn't be true! How could Lilian have these photos? She was so careful... It must be fake!

"I know Hillary is behind you. If you weren't too much, I wouldn't bother dealing with an agent like you, but...you don't seem to know your place..." Elena began to feel afraid;her hands started shaking.She would never have agreed to torture Lilian if she had known that Lilian had something on her.

So she immediately changed her tone and knelt in front of Lilian: "Lilian, I didn't mean to treat you this way. Please don't send those photos out or else my career will be ruined..."

Lilian looked down at Elena and then told her seriously,"I'll only say this once: If someone doesn’t offend me,I won’t offend them.But if they do,I’ll pay them back twice as hard.From now on,you do your job well,and I'll do mine.If you want to play tricks or use schemes against me,I'm willing to accompany you,but the price won’t just be exposing these few pictures."

At that moment,Lilian's demeanor was full of determination and dominance,making it difficult for Elena who thought that Lilian was a pushover before,to adapt."I understand everything now.I know what should and shouldn't be done."Elena was completely intimidated by how serious Lilian appeared.

After venting earlier,Lilian's emotions had basically returned to calm.So,she asked Elena calmly:"How long is the time frame for arranging my commercial platform?"

"You...You're going?"Elena didn't quite understand what Lilian wanted.

"Just tell me when,"Lilian repeated her question from earlier.
