During these days, people at school have been discussing this lame girl, and many of them even envy her, which made her very angry.
“If you judge someone’s eligibility for love based solely on their appearance and physical health, then you are underestimating Brian and showing your own shallowness!” Valda finished speaking and left the restroom without bothering to pay attention to Lexi.
Lexi stared at Valda’s back and heard her classmates saying, “Lexi, what if she tells your cousin what you just said?”
“That’s right, if your cousin helps her instead of helping you, his cousin, wouldn’t you be at a big loss?”
“Did she come here to eat today? Is she here with your cousin?”
Several classmates were discussing with each other when Lexi suddenly shuddered.
If this woman really goes to her cousin to complain, won’t she be in even more trouble?
At this thought, she immediately hurried out of the restroom with quick steps.
Valda naturally walks slowly, while Lexi hurried over and caught up with her in no time.
“Valda, are you planning to go to Brian’s place to complain?” Lexi blocked Valda’s path and asked.
Valda looked at her coldly and said, “If I want to talk to Brian about something, it’s my freedom. Since you dare to speak up, why be afraid of me talking to Brian?”
“You really are a petty person, only capable of making complaints behind others’ backs? Just because your leg is injured, does that mean you can’t handle criticism?” Lexi said angrily.
Valda’s gaze grew colder as she spoke, “You keep saying that I have a lame leg and leave me no face, but do you know that the more you do this, the more others will look down on you!”
To outsiders, Lexi is considered a relative of the Hart family and should have been united with them.
However, her actions have only made her a laughing stock in the eyes of others.
“Looking down on you is one thing, but why do they have to look down on me? Let me ask you, did you say a lot of bad things about me to Brian and my aunt and uncle, which is why they still refuse to let me go to the Hart family?” Lexi asked fiercely.
During this period, her parents visited the Hart family several times, but every time they brought up the topic of lifting the ban on her visiting the Hart family, they were refused by her aunt and uncle.
This made Lexi hate Valda even more.
Valda said calmly, “Instead of maliciously speculating about others over there, it’s better to think about why things have turned out this way.”
Valda spoke and turned to leave, but Lexi stopped her again.
“You caused this whole thing, are you just going to walk away from it? You have to fix it. You need to tell Brian, Aunt and Uncle that this is all your fault. I didn’t do anything wrong, why am I the one who can’t be a part of the Hart family?” Lexi confidently stated.
Valda was almost amused by Lexi’s behavior. Lexi was clearly in the wrong, yet she tried to appear as if she had a valid point.
Valda didn’t want to argue with Lexi anymore, so she took out her phone and dialed Brian’s number directly.
“What are you doing? Who are you calling?” Lexi asked nervously.
“Do you want me to talk to your brother Brian for you? I can call him right now. If you have something to say, you can tell him yourself,” said Valda.
“You–” Lexi felt that Valda was clearly trying to embarrass her and show her intimacy with Brian. So she raised her hand and directly knocked Valda’s phone out of her hand.
The phone fell to the ground, and the other end of the phone had already been answered.
Lexi didn’t notice anything, she just stared at Valda and said, “Valda, if you don’t solve this problem, do you believe that I will make your other leg lame too?!”
Valda is now angry too. Although the other person had been disrespectful to her before, she had still considered that they were a relative of the Hart family. But now, the other person’s words are beyond what can be excused by their young age.
This is simply malicious!
“You can go ahead and try, see if you can cripple my other leg too. Lexi, even though you’re still in school, you’re already in your twenties and an adult. You should know what actions are considered criminal. If you really want to commit a crime, I will definitely send you to jail without mercy!” Valda fearlessly stated.
Lexi blushed deeply at these words and couldn’t come up with a retort. She became angry and raised her hand to hit Valda.
Valda instinctively moved to avoid the hit, but then someone grabbed Lexi’s wrist, causing her to cry out in pain.
“How dare you try to cripple Valda’s leg again?” A cold voice suddenly rang out.
Valda turned her head and saw that Brian had appeared beside her, holding Lexi’s wrist tightly.
“Brian…” Lexi cried out in pain, “My hand…it’s going to break…let go…”
But Brian seemed to ignore Lexi’s pain and said coldly, “Tell me, how do you plan to cripple her? How dare you say such things to the woman I hold in my heart?”
A feeling of fear arose in Lexi’s heart. This man in front of her made her feel a bit unfamiliar.
The Brian she knew before was cold and distant, but he wasn’t so aggressive, as if his gaze alone could kill.
It was as if she had touched a nerve, and he was about to take her life in the next moment.
It was only at this moment that she truly began to feel afraid.
“I…I’m scared, Brian. I spoke out of turn, I was just talking nonsense, I didn’t really mean to do anything. Please spare me, Brian. I won’t say those things again next time…” Lexi said intermittently, her face turning pale. The intense pain in her wrist made her feel like passing out, but at the same time, the pain kept her from fainting.
At this moment, the girls who had previously gone to the bathroom with Lexi also came over and were stunned by the scene.
Wasn’t it said that Brian is Lexi’s cousin? Why is he now glaring at Lexi with an angry expression, even seeming to want to crush her hand?
For a moment, no one dared to step forward.
After all, he is the prince of the entertainment industry. If he really angers him, he won’t be able to survive in the industry.
anymore.
As more and more people gathered around, Valda quickly said, “Brian, you should let go first.”
“She wants to hurt you,” Brian said coldly. Just hearing this was enough to drive him crazy.
“But she hasn’t hurt me yet, right?” Valda said. “Besides, I think she’s the one who’s hurt more now!”
As she spoke, she raised her hand and grabbed the hand of
Brian, who was holding Lexi’s wrist. “Okay, she’s learned her lesson this time and probably won’t dare to do anything to me again. But if she does come after me again, I won’t stop you from dealing with her however you see fit.”
Brian’s fingers finally loosened and he turned to look at Valda. The cold expression on his face was replaced with a worried look. “Are you really okay?” he asked.
“I’m fine,” Valda shook her head. “She just threw my phone on the ground, she didn’t hit me.”
Brian pursed his lips and glanced at the phone on the ground. He took a few steps, picked up the phone, and then held
Valda’s hand. “Let’s go, the food is almost ready.”
“Okay,” Valda replied.
Just then, Brian stopped again and looked at Lexi, who was still holding her wrist with a painful expression on her face. “If you do this again, even your parents won’t be able to protect you in the future. My bottom line is not something you can challenge!” he warned.
Lexi’s face turned even paler. Brian’s words were undoubtedly a public humiliation for her, especially in front of her classmates.
In school, she had always been known as Brian’s cousin and had a good relationship with the Hart family. She was also very popular with her cousin.
Now, her image in school had completely collapsed.
Lexi’s lips trembled and she wanted to say something, but nothing came out.
Brian had already left with Valda, holding her hand.
Lexi’s classmates looked at each other in confusion. Although they didn’t say anything, their expressions towards Lexi had already changed.
Valda and Brian returned to their private room. Valda checked her phone to see if it was damaged from the fall. After confirming that her phone was okay, she breathed a sigh of relief. As she looked up, she met the gaze of those deep phoenix eyes.
“What’s wrong?” she asked.
“What happened exactly? What did Lexi say or do to you?” he asked, his eyes flashing with a cold anger that showed he was still not over what Lexi had done.
Valda didn’t hide anything and directly explained what happened when she met Lexi Lambert in the bathroom, what Lexi said, and briefly mentioned the reason for the conflict.
After listening, Brian furrowed his brows slightly and said, “It seems like she really thinks too highly of herself.” In the future, he will have to give the Lambert family a bit of a reality check and make them understand some important principles.
“Okay, I’m fine. After what happened today, she should be scared too,” said Valda, changing the subject. “I’m hungry, we should eat some vegetables quickly.”
While speaking, she lowered her head and started working.
He looked at her eating with gentle eyes and said, “But it was good that you called me when something happened today.” If he hadn’t received that call, would Lexi have really ended up calling Valda?
As soon as he thought of that possibility, his disgust towards
Lexi increased a bit more.
“I told you, if I ever run into trouble, I’ll call you first,” Valda smiled and said, “So you can trust me, I won’t be stupid enough to get into trouble.”
He looked at her smile and couldn’t help but curve his lips.
Her smile always seemed to easily infect him, and his mood would improve with it.
“Alright, come on, let’s eat. The wontons today are pretty good,” she said, spooning up a wonton and taking a bite to show how delicious it was.
His eyes darkened, “Okay, I’ll try it.”
But instead of reaching for a spoon, he held her face and, to her surprise, leaned in and kissed her lips, tasting the flavor of the wonton in her mouth.
Valda’s eyes widened suddenly, her face turning as red as a cloud at sunset.
Goodness, who tastes food like that!
After finishing their meal, Brian and Valda left the private room and went to the parking lot to retrieve their car. There, they ran into the Lambert family, who were hurrying over with Lexi by their side.
The Lambert family rushed up to Brian as soon as they saw him and said, “Brian, our daughter Lexi was wrong to disrespect Miss Theller today. However, Lexi is still your cousin, and you almost broke her hand today. Let’s just let this matter go. I…I will make sure she apologizes to Miss Theller!”
“No need to apologize,” Brian refused outright, “If she keeps trying to insult Valda over and over again, then there’s no need for this kind of apology.”
“On Lexi’s side…”
“But in the future, don’t tell anyone that she’s my cousin or anything like that. If I hear you say it, don’t blame me for not showing mercy.”
As soon as he said this, the Lambert couple’s faces immediately turned extremely ugly, and Lexi’s face was even paler.
If that’s the case, it means that the Hart family will no longer provide her with any assistance in the future. She won’t even be able to benefit from the Hart family’s reputation. How will she continue to thrive in the entertainment industry?
Cousin’s words shattered her dream of becoming a big star in the entertainment industry and making a lot of money. It can even be said that he destroyed her promising career prospects.
“Valda, it must have been you who added fuel to the fire and said something, that’s why Brian said such things to me!” Lexi said angrily to Valda, then turned to Brian with a pitiful expression and said,
