Loving A STRANGER Chapter 369

"Check it." Ethan wore a serious face.
Kylie grabbed his hand and pressed it with great force for a second to tell him everything would be fine.
If this Dora wasn't real, where was the real Dora? When did she be replaced?
It was an unacceptable mistake in Ethan's eyes.
In fact, it was easy to find out whether the person was real Dora by unzipping her clothes.
When the video call was over, Kylie told Ethan Lauren had been missing.
"The last person Lauren saw was Harry. Is it possible that Lauren replaced Dora?"
Ethan frowned, then kissed her on her forehead to comfort her. "The film will be in theaters tomorrow. You can focus on the premiere and leave other things to me."
Just when the media was publicizing the film without sparing any effort, a piece of shocking news threw a bomb in the entertainment industry.
William, the national Prince Charming, cheated on Kylie!
The public opinion condemned him one-sidedly, and people all felt sorry for Kylie, and Kylie became the headline of the hottest entertainment news again.
"Why didn't you discuss it with me beforehand?" Kylie called William, lying on the bay window, enjoying the sunshine.
"Do you think I can turn down my Uncle Ethan's order?" William sounded quite aggrieved on the phone. "One of us must be the bad guy. Could you post a line saying 'let bygones be bygones' on you Ins?"
"You'll lose countless followers if I did that," Kylie sighed. "Why don't we say that we already separated and broke up with each other?"
"I don't think it's a good idea," William said. "Remember, you owe me a favor!" "Don't worry. I can help you gain more chances from your Uncle Ethan so that you can be successful again."

"Please don't! Don't mention my name before my Uncle Ethan. I want to live a few more days..."
"Ha-ha, ha-ha," Kylie snorted with laughter. "Oh, I have a new call coming in. Bye."
Kylie received another call. It was from Lucas. "The movie premiere will begin at eight pm. Faith is with me now, and we're coming to pick you up."
"Come and help me choose a formal gown. I seriously don't know which I should wear." Because the weather was getting colder, the first set Ethan had chosen for her was a black women's suit of neutral style, but Kylie was afraid it wasn't suitable for her.
The second set was an evening gown with a long train. Considering that her shoulders would be cold, Ethan also had prepared a long-haired velvet shawl for her. She would look like a noblewoman in the royal courts of Europe after putting it on. However, it was a little over in Kylie's eyes.
The third set was her favorite denim collection with a pair of white sneakers. She would be full of energy and feel comfortable wearing it. However, Kylie thought people might find out she was pregnant now because she didn't wear high-heels.
When Kylie was trying the gowns, Faith pushed the door open, walking inside.
"Wow, even a pair of simple jeans Lord Ethan has prepared for you is the limited version!" Faith said with envy.
"I think this black gown is very special." Lucas pointed at the dress on Kylie.
"Me too!" Faith agreed.
Kylie looked at herself in the mirror, but still felt it wasn't perfect enough. She grabbed her hair and pressed it behind her head. "What do you think if I cut my hair short?" Both Lucas and Faith were struck dumb.

There were many actresses with short hair, but Lucas thought long hair was more changeable.
Although short hair looked great too, there were a lot of limits.
However, Faith approved of it. "I support you! Probably Kylie will be more popular with short hair."
Since they couldn't come to an agreement, Kylie called Ethan at the end. She told Ethan her idea. To her surprise, Ethan was very supportive.
"I think you must be more charming with short hair."
"Great!"
Before long, a professional hairstylist came in person and cut bob for Kylie. After it was finished, Lucas and Faith were stunned, because Kylie looked so much like Audrey Hepburn now!
The hairstylist smiled, seeing stunning Kylie, and said, "You have the perfect face shape! And it suits you so well."
Faith took a picture of her and sent it to Ethan.
Within three seconds, Kylie received a new message from Ethan.
"I want to f*ck you."
Kylie flushed, then deleted it.
Seeing Kylie being shy, Faith jokes, "What did Lord Ethan say? Did he say you're stunning?"
"Nope," Kylie said. "He says it's ugly, and he wants to change a new woman."
Lucas appreciated Kylie's beauty crossing his legs. "Even though you cut all your hair off, Lord Ethan wouldn't change a new woman."
Faith posted several photos of Kylie with short hair on Ins with a simple line below. Let bygones be bygones.
Within seconds, thousands of people re-posted it.
Kylie's fans went to condemn William under his Ins in the following hours, blaming him for everything.
Even William's fans thought Kylie must feel heart-broken so that she cut her hair short.
Amid criticisms, William became the headline of the hottest entertainment news once more.
Therefore, once Kylie arrived at the hall where the movie premiere was held, she received William's message. Thanks! I've been on the headline twice within a day.
Kylie had mixed emotions because that wasn't her idea, after all.
Ten minutes before the beginning of the movie premiere, Faith opened the door and helped Kylie get out of the car. The spotlight flashed in an instant.
Kylie was wearing leather shoes with thick heels and walked like a powerful queen, which attracted much attention from people in the hall.
Some reporters bombard her with questions about William, but Kylie just smiled at them without saying a word.
When Kylie walked on the red carpet, she was in a quite good mood.
It was her first time that she walked down the red carpet with a strong sense of pride. And for the first time, she had a feeling that she was the focus of people's attention.
After Kylie signed her name, the leading actor and actress of Dangerous World arrived too.
Once the Best Actor, along with the Best Actress, appeared, another round of endless shutter sound sounded in the hall.
Sally was wearing a long black dress, and her skin was shining with the luster of collagen. She didn't seem like a 40-year-old woman at all. In order to match Sally well, Cliff left a mustache on his face and looked much more mature.
After shooting together, they walked into the hall one by one.
When Kylie turned around, she saw Lauren by accident, which was quite a surprise.
As an actress whose part was deleted from the movie, she actually hadn't been invited. However, Kylie didn't have time to think about that now and pulled Lauren's hand at once.
"Lauren, where have you been? We're all worried about you."

The Madec Legacy
The dawn of Emotion Based A.I.s is here, John is the fifth test subject to have an AI implemented in his brain, and so far the first one to survive. Blinded by the dream of immortality, the researchers push the tests to inhumane standards. John is obligated to take part in sessions of torture designed to test the limits of the AI influence over the physical and mental health. What was supposed to be a new beginning in life turns into living hell. An (un)lucky twist ends his life. John then reincarnates with his AI in a new world where a System influences the interaction between Magic and Matter. With seemingly limitless potential and a game-like system influencing the world, the hero sets on his journey. --AUTHOR NOTE, PLEASE READ-- I will state here my promises to you, potential reader: 1. No harem! I don't trust myself to make a harem feel natural or healthy, I never met any person who has a personality that can adapt and live in a harem for reasons that are not monetary, so I can't draw inspiration from real life. Sorry!; 2. The enemies will not be bland and illogically mean. Some may feel like that at first, but I will take great care in fleshing them out, trust me. You may end up hating some, but you won't be able to deny that they had their reasons for what they did; 3. I am using a paid (and expensive) automated editor tool, and I take longer to write because I take my time in editing the stuff. I am aiming to improve and I will not shy away from constructive criticism, nor take offense for no reason; 4. Characters will die and will suffer, some will get over the tragedies and improve, others will not be as resilient. 5. This novel has a lot of ground to cover, it is neither a short story, a manual on crafting, or the script of some action scene. There will be both time skips and oversimplifications of some actions for the sake of moving the story forward. Time skips will be more prominent in the first 30 chapters. I will describe crafting processes and fights with more detail if they are essential for the chapter; 6. If I took my time describing something, it's because it is important. I hate novels that waste time describing useless stuff. If you skim over something, the chances are that something in the future will not make sense. I am an adept of "Chekhov's gun" principle; 7. I already have 31k words on my auxiliary documents, I have a plan for the story, and I will not be making changes even if someone ends up noticing some foreshadowing and figures out what will happen. The story comes first. 8. I have a wife, a job that demands 9h every day and courses related to my job (lawyer) three days of the week, it's unlikely that I will be able to do mass releases at all. I will have a healthy amount of chapters to be able to post at least 1 chapter every day continually. Don't worry. 9. I will read all the comments. I will listen to all you have to say and will try my best to accommodate demands as long as they do not hamper the path I prepared. 10. There is an arc that spans the entire novel. Each volume will be an arc in itself while progressing a little bit of the main arc. Every arc will have one or more main antagonists. I think that's it! Thank you for reading it all. Have an awesome time reading my first novel!!

Life of a Core
After a disembodied voice had told him he was what amounted to an exceptionally talented rock, it had been hard to not let it go to his non-existent head. Until, random chance had decided to give him a square kick in the minerals. Which had in turn forced him to fend for himself in an unknown land, all while he attempted to make sense of his place in the world. Truthfully though, all he had really wanted to do from the start had been to bury himself a hundred feet below the ground and be left to his own devices. Yet, for one reason or another, nobody ever seemed willing to leave the dungeon-building core alone long enough to actually make one. Each chapter will average around two to three thousand words, the release schedule is still a WIP but you should expect the first six chapters to be released over the next six days. This is planned out as a dungeon building fiction, but don't expect it right off the bat! The story is a depiction of the everyday adventures (alongside an overarching plot) of what I imagine a dungeon core would experience when thrust into a random environment where everything and everyone tried to covet or eat him. I also really enjoy reading the comments and reviews people leave and would love to get some reader involvement with the story itself, likely through polls at the end of each chapter. I hope you enjoy my story! (If you feel like some of the characters seem familiar, you may have read some older work I wrote a while back under a different account. If you happen to be one of my old readers and recognize the similarities, I'm happy to have you back!)

Years passed and he grew up in a caring and warm home, developing a passion for all magical beasts, choosing the path of a Summoner as his way of life. While his love and knowledge also grew boundless, his practical abilities clearly pointed out his complete lack of compatibility with that school of magic, but he never wavered in his resolution. Follow Asterios as his life of perpetual failure and bullying suddenly takes an unexpected turn, after just seconds short of his death, a powerful summon answers his call and saves his life. Wait... doesn't it look like... A GIRL?! Are those animal ears and tail?! ★━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━★ Release schedule: Two times a week is the goal. Most likely Tuesday and Friday. What to expect:A quite chill fantasy adventure with an MC devoted to summoning magic and fantasy beasts, slowly getting rid of his title of the Weakest Summoner (sudden strength gain but with progressive development), lots of exploring, magic, encounters, lots of character development, quite some fluff and feel-goods and perhaps a lovely harem of Monster Girls (not too many). It's a quite light story.
