Billionaire’s Missing Darling

Chapter 699

Today’s livestream room was extremely lively. Everyone was discussing Sharon’s embarrassing incident.

Although the public relations team had managed to suppress the trending topic, there were too many people watching the live broadcast, and it was impossible to silence them.

Even Louis’ mother, Lydia, knew about it.

She called Louis and, with restrained anger, said, “Louis, do you remember what you promised me back then?”

Upon hearing her words, Louis’ expression turned cold, and he replied in a low voice, “Mom, you…”

Lydia interrupted with impatience, and this time, she was truly furious. “Do you know that because of you, I’ve become a joke in the upper-class society? How many people are laughing at me behind my back?”

“When you insisted on marrying Sharon and even gave up on the marriage alliance, I gave in because we could not bear to reject you. You’ve always been sensible and outstanding since childhood. It was the first time you had pleaded with me and your father.”

“But there was a condition: you had to work even harder to make up for the losses caused by not pursuing the marriage we had arranged!”

“But now, look what you’ve done,” Lydia continued. “It’s one thing that Sharon embarrassed herself, but the fact that you embarrassed yourself and her is another. Are you trying to infuriate me to death?”

She took a deep breath, and her voice turned hoarse. “Do you have nothing else to do? The Phil family business spans various industries and different kinds of scope. Are you so idle that you can easily engage in those deals? You even have the spare time to accompany Sharon on variety shows?”

“Participating in variety shows is fine, but at least you should have a plan in mind. First, to shape a positive and relatable public image, to increase

your popularity with the public. Second, to promote the Phil family.”

“But what did you do? You only know how to embarrass the family!” Lydia exclaimed, her frustration growing. “Do you know that the variety show producer has already filed a complaint to your grandfather? If I hadn’t acted quickly and intervened, he would have found out about this, and you can imagine how disappointed he would be in you!” NôvelDrama.Org content.

Lydia continued, her anger intensifying, “For no reason, why did you have to pick a fight with that young star, Kelly? The Phil family invested in this variety show to make money, not to pamper you like an emperor!”

“Look at you. How many times have you resorted to schemes? Can you handle Kelly? Are you brainless now? The producer and your uncle warned you not to mess with Kelly. Don’t you even think about why?”

“Louis…” Lydia was utterly disappointed. “I never thought you would be this arrogant!”

With that, Lydia hung up the phone with a loud slam.

Louis, still holding his phone, was lost in thought for a while before slowly regaining his composure.

Sharon walked up to Louis with a troubled expression. “Louis, did you see it? The way everyone looked at me just now, they were all looking down on me! And that Kelly, what is she so pleased about? She’ll have her share of misfortune sooner or later.”

Louis, who had previously found Sharon’s temper cute, like watching a child throw a tantrum, now stared quietly at her.

He suddenly felt that she was foolish. Could it be that when she saw Kelly in her eyes, all she could feel was jealousy in her heart? Why was she so

shallow?

Louis turned his head and decided not to pay attention to Sharon.

Despite Sharon’s usual lack of intelligence, she was particularly sensitive to Louis’ emotions. She immediately realized that he was not happy.

She quickly came over and carefully tugged at his sleeve. “Louis, are you tired?”

Her face was full of worry, and her tone was filled with self-blame. “It’s all my fault. I can’t do anything well. I’ve troubled you.”

Louis adjusted his tie and, with a tone of suppressed impatience, said, “Mother has arranged for you to meet the etiquette teacher.”

Upon hearing this, Sharon’s face changed, and she looked at Louis in disbelief.

Was he despising her? He knew that she hated those so-called aristocratic etiquettes. He knew that she loved freedom and did not want to be like those so-called noblewomen who had no thoughts of their own. She wanted to achieve her career. He had said that he would support her, but they had only been married for a short while. Had he forgotten his promise?

Sharon suddenly let go of Louis, and a stubborn look appeared in her eyes as if she were a warrior fighting against feudal and malicious forces. “I won’t meet the etiquette teacher. If I ever learn etiquette, it will be for acting, not for those so-called social gatherings!”

Louis was starting to have a headache. He did not expect Sharon to think this way. He rubbed his temples and was about to explain.

Sharon had taken a step back and said each word with determination, “Louis, you said before that I am free to choose what I want to do. I like acting. I want to become an internationally renowned actor. I will never give up on this dream.”

With that, she turned resolutely and walked away.
