Chapter 169 – My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

Filed To Story: My Accidental Bride Is a Fashion Circle Queen Novel

Lisa felt like she was being strangled as a million possibilities flashed through her head.

Upon entering Xanthe’s home, Lisa found her grandfather chatting to Xanthe with a kind smile under the bright hanging lights. She felt a fire boiling up inside her, like a volcano ready to erupt.

“President Lopez…what is the meaning of this?” Lisa’s voice was a little shaky.

Hearing Lisa’s voice, Xanthe and Lisa’s grandfather both turned their heads. Xanthe stood up welcomingly and greeted Lisa, “You have been so dutiful towards Emma that I wanted to reward you. So, you don’t mind that I invited your grandfather over, right?”

“Lisa, President Lopez has been extremely kind to me. She’s been treating me like a part of the family, you definitely need to thank her,” the old man smiled happily. He was wearing a new set of clothes and waving at Lisa.

Lisa looked at Xanthe angrily as she clenched her fists. She wanted to ask Xanthe if she still had any humanity left in her.

She didn’t even let a 78-year-old elder off…She even wanted to use a 78-year-old!

“Holden, take Lisa’s grandfather to get some rest. I have something I want to discuss with Lisa,” Xanthe looked at Lisa threateningly; her eyes were piercing like an icy cold dagger.

Lisa wanted to drag her grandfather away, but she knew…if she didn’t grant Xanthe her wish, she would not be able to leave.

“In that case, you guys have a good chat, I will go rest. When a person gets old, they become useless…just sitting in the car a little bit makes me tired.”

After seeing her grandfather disappear into the distance, Lisa finally asked, “What do you want?”

“Can’t you tell what I want?” Xanthe moved away from Lisa and returned to sit on the sofa. “I want to use you – it’s that simple. But what could I do to make a loyal dog like you abandon Emma? The only thing I could think of was family!”

“Lisa, you’ve been in this industry for more than a couple days. Haven’t you seen methods like this before? Isn’t it normal to you?”

Lisa held back her tears. Even though she had a good nature, she couldn’t stand up against Xanthe’s humiliation and intimidation, “Just tell me what you want, don’t go around in circles.”

Xanthe let out a laugh as she lifted the bottle of wine off the table in front of her. As she walked over to the window she said, “I want to know all of Emma’s secrets.”

“For example?”

“In the LM commercial. Who does the back belong to?”

Lisa lowered her head and smiled before replying, “Someone from the Miller family.”

Lisa made up something random, “After all, you know that Emma is an heiress of the Miller family. Who else could she get? She can only get someone from the Miller family. But, she couldn’t let the other people from the family know, so she had to keep it a secret. If you think about it, if it was any other artist, they would be dying to be exposed. How could they disappear without a word?”

Xanthe turned and glanced at Lisa; her eyes were cold, but she seemed to have accepted this explanation.

“What type of background does Emma have? With what man does she have such a close relationship?”

“Apart from being an abandoned Miller family heiress, what other background could she possibly have? If she really had a strong backing, would she allow you guys to opp**ss her?” Lisa replied in a ridiculing tone. “As for men, she’s quite close to the editor of TQ, they’ve had dinner a few times – but they aren’t in ‘that’ kind of relationship. Maybe Emma likes George Benedict, but…Editor Benedict is not interested.”

After hearing her last sentence, Xanthe approached Lisa and grabbed her chin, “Emma obviously said she has a man and they are living together.”

“She’s never admitted to living together…she just admitted to being in a relationship.”

Xanthe glared at Lisa before warning her, “You better guarantee that all you’ve said today is the truth. Otherwise, your grandfather…he’s getting old and weak…”

“I’ve said all I can, what else do you want? If you don’t believe me, you can go investigate…” Lisa responded helplessly. “Emma has always depended on herself. She has never thought about using anyone to advance nor has she thought about being a threat to you.”

“Too bad her existence alone is a threat.” Xanthe sculled all her wine in one go before saying to Lisa, “I don’t expect you to do too much. Just this once, I want you to prevent Emma from going on A-List Chats. As long as you succeed, I’ll let your grandfather go.”

Lisa was silent for a little while before sneering, “Are you that confident I will betray Emma?”

“Lisa, although I’m not familiar with you, I’m sure you won’t disregard the grandfather that brought you up over an outsider.”

“What do you want me to do?”

“I don’t need you to do much. Just…when the time comes, I want you to hold back Emma. It’s that simple.”

Xanthe threw out her mission and claimed it was simple.

However, to Lisa, if she really agreed to Xanthe’s suggestion, she would be destroying her humanity. In reality, no matter what predicament one was put in, they always had the choice to make the right decision.

If with a little p**ssure, one changes who they are, then aren’t they worse than an elastic band?

“I know you and Emma are like sisters. But, Lisa…I can do anything.”

Lisa gave a bitter smile. If she still wasn’t aware of how far Xanthe could go, she would be too slow!

Xanthe could! do! anything!

“I will not betray Emma directly.”

“I knew this would be your response…how about this, Danika has a show that day and her assistant is on break. Why don’t you go be Danika’s assistant?”

She was Emma’s assistant, yet Xanthe wanted to lend her out to Danika…

Her motive was clear. Danika wasn’t going to go easy on Lisa.

If Emma found out Lisa was being bullied, how could she still care about going on the talk show?

“Fine, but I have one request. That night, I need to send my grandfather off.”

“Fine.”

After speaking, Xanthe turned around and said in a ridiculing tone, “I must say, there’s no such thing as absolute loyalty. Everyone has their motives…”

That night, as Lisa left Xanthe’s home, her mind was empty.

But as she thought about Emma, she still had a glimmer of hope. Before dawn, it had always been hard to see things clearly. But if one closes their eyes a little, they will be able to get through it.

That night, Emma headed home from the hotel. Thinking about the visit of Lisa’s grandfather, she decided to give Lisa a call, “Have you picked up your grandfather? Are you happy?”

“Yes, I’m extremely happy,” Lisa replied as she wiped her tears. “Emma, you have Zephaniah by your side. For the next couple days, just pretend I’m on holidays…”

“So naggy. Have you got enough money?”

“I have enough,” Lisa almost choked. “You will be going on the program in 2 days, remember to be careful. Xanthe is not easy to deal with.”

With the mention of Xanthe, Emma’s smile disappeared. All along she had thought Lisa was overjoyed by seeing her grandfather, but the strong nasal sound coming from her voice, was definitely the result of opp**ssion and not happiness…
