Loving A STRANGER Chapter 84
Advertisement
Lily's expression became a bit stiff, but she continued to insist: "I'd rather attend her funeral than even pretend to care about her."
Khloe was just frightened, thought Lily. What's the big deal? Sympathizing with Kylie was just a temporary solution. She would just invite the crew over for a party, and everyone would be on her side once again.
Khloe found that talking to Lily was no better than talking to a brick wall. So, she decided just to let it go. She could only pray that no more mistakes would be made.
Kylie would yet be brought to shame. There's no way she would be able to reverse the trend of public opinion.
If Lord Ethan watched the video on Instagram, then they would surely break up.
There's no way that he would tolerate proof that his woman was having an affair.
As she thought this over, Khloe beamed with pride.
Meanwhile, Kylie was given a chair in which to rest. She was looking at the ground when she saw a pair of white shoes stop in front of her.
Kylie slowly looked up to discover that Lily's assistant, Faith, was the one standing in front of her.
"I'm fine. Please tell Lily not to worry." Kylie's immediate thought was that Lily must feel too ashamed to go see. So, she must have sent her assistant instead.
But Faith's eyes turned red after hearing Kylie's words.
Kylie felt that something must be wrong.
"You…"
Faith walked two steps forwards, then stopped right in front of Kylie. "Kylie, can I be your assistant instead?"
"What are you talking about?" Kylie, tilting her head, suspected that she heard it wrong.
What is she doing?
Is this Mission Impossible? A dark war? Or is Faith a spy?
Actually, Faith had trained many actresses before. She was a famous broker in the entertainment industry. For reasons nobody knew, she had suddenly announced that she would quit, and go abroad to study.

However, when she had returned from being abroad, she quietly decided to work as Lily's assistant. Nobody knew the reasoning behind this decision.
Perhaps she understood Kylie's surprised expression. Faith smiled helplessly and said, with a deep breath:
"I have waited a long time to leave her. But I signed a contract saying that she must be the one to terminate the agreement…"
Faith looked at Kylie seriously. "I know that you can't trust me now. But I'd like to try. Will you consider my proposal, if you think I'm trustworthy?"
Kylie responded, with a smile: "I'm actually in an embarrassing situation right now. This morning I learned that I no longer have an agent."
Faith also smiled. "You were freed this morning. I was fired this afternoon. Clearly, we're destined to be together."
Kylie nodded with a smile. "Man struggles upwards, and water flows downwards. Why would you choose me?"
"Because you are destined to be extraordinary. I have been paying attention to you for a long time. I have confidence in you."
Kylie suddenly remembered something. "Someone in the crew was always making trouble for me, but there was always Someone else who often, secretly, helped me. It wouldn't..."
Faith smiled mysteriously but offered no explanation.
The two shook hands.
When Kylie was looking over her script, Faith whispered: "The fans who are outside the door are all there because Khloe told them to."
"How do you know?" Kylie's eyes continued to stare at the script. She didn't want anyone else to see what was going on.
"Because I have another ID mixed in with William's fan group."
"How many IDs do you have?"
"A lot... In order to express my loyalty, I want to give you another big gift."

They were done with shooting the horse scene. Julian used the take in which Kylie appears to shock the horse.
The next scene is the one in which Miss Tea prepares for her wedding. Becky and Angela meet at the banquet.
This scene was much more simple.
"Action."
Red lights were hanging in the garden, and there were pink draperies along the roof. Everywhere was a festive pink; even the trees looked strong and vigorous, even though it was winter.
Lily passed under the arch and saw Kylie sitting at the main table.
Kylie saw her, and her eyes suddenly became cold. There was a bit of arrogance in her tone. "Here, you come."
Lily quickly swept over and sat in front of Kylie. "Today is a big day. Let's have a toast."
As she said this, she picked up the flagon that was on the table.
Lily had been defeated by Kylie just now. How could she give up? So, she had bribed the property manager to let her use the cups before the scene.
One cup was filled with water, whereas the other was filled with hallucinogens.
Now Kylie would be confronted by an embarrassing situation. She would have to pay the price.
Lily pretended to pour out two glasses of wine, and then she picked up the cup without hallucinogens. She smiled and said to Kylie: "Let's wish our sister a happy marriage."
"If our elder sister knew that today's wedding was your idea, I don't know what would happen." After that, Kylie clasped her cup and drank its contents.
Lily said coldly: "You can't frame me! Your man is a thief. If you make a fuss about it, it'll all be your fault."
After that, she gulped down the contents of her own cup.
Poof. Immediately after drinking it, Lily spat as much of it out as she could. She looked sharply at the property manager.
Why was her water so bitter?
"Cut." Julian said, "Again."
"Here you come."
"Today is a big day. Let's have a toast."
Lily's hands were a little shaky. She poured herself a glass of water. "Let's wish our sister a happy marriage."
"If our elder sister knew that today's wedding was your idea, I don't know what would happen." After that, Kylie clasped her cup and drank its contents.
"You can't frame me! Your man is a thief. If you make a fuss about it, it'll all be your fault."
Poof. Lily once again felt the effects of her drink.
"Lily, what's the matter with you?" Julian looked at her angrily. Kylie's performance had been very good, but Lily seemed stuck.
"You spit out the water twice. Is there a problem with the water?" Kylie reached for her glass.

Forced Development (What does it truly mean to live a fulfilling life?)
To get things started I would like to admit that this story does not bring much new to the table when it comes to the over-saturated Litrpg genre in terms of things like mechanics and power systems. Then what exactly am I trying to bring to the table with this work? A nice slow-paced novel about people maturing and growing older think of it as the re: zero or jobless reincarnation of Litrpgs. A story that tries to take into consideration how a worldwide system would affect the economics and culture of a world. A story that is much more character-focused than the typical heavy progression-focused novels this genre is known for. The RPG system, like any good power system, is there to actually explore the themes of the story and not just as a plot device for characters to get stronger. This is a story where we will see the growth of the Mc from being a baby to when he dies of old age. With plenty of heart-racing actions and intriguing plot developments along the way. Exploring themes like; What does it mean to improve at something and what does it mean to mature as a person? How does magic, the constant threat of monsters and people so much stronger than the average joe that they can destroy countries affect one's culture both on the micro and the macro scale? How people are affected by the culture in general? Generational trauma Nature vs Nurture Talent vs hard work What is morality, society, and people's opinions on both? What does it mean to be human and what does it mean to be alive in the context of a world with multiple sapient species vastly different from one another in basic biology? All these questions are going to be explored from multiple angles using the system as a catalyst for those discussions. So if any of does questions sound interesting to you what are you waiting for, I'm sure you are going to love this story. PS - Chapter come out every Friday at about the same time.
