As soon as he thought of that possibility, his disgust towards Lexi increased a bit more.
âI told you, if I ever run into trouble, Iâll call you first,â Valda smiled and said, âSo you can trust me, I wonât be stupid enough to get into trouble.â
He looked at her smile and couldnât help but curve his lips.
Her smile always seemed to easily infect him, and his mood would improve with it.
âAlright, come on, letâs eat. The wontons today are pretty good,â she said, spooning up a wonton and taking a bite to show how delicious it was.
His eyes darkened, âOkay, Iâll try it.â
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.
Valdaâs 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, âBrian, our daughter Lexi was wrong to disrespect Miss Theller today. However, Lexi is still your cousin, and you almost broke her hand today. Letâs just let this matter go. Iâ¦I will make sure she apologizes to Miss Theller!â
âNo need to apologize,â Brian refused outright, âIf she keeps trying to insult Valda over and over again, then thereâs no need for this kind of apology.â
âOn Lexiâs sideâ¦â
âBut in the future, donât tell anyone that sheâs my cousin or anything like that. If I hear you say it, donât blame me for not showing mercy.â
As soon as he said this, the Lambert coupleâs faces immediately turned extremely ugly, and Lexiâs face was even paler.
If thatâs the case, it means that the Hart family will no longer provide her with any assistance in the future. She wonât even be able to benefit from the Hart familyâs reputation. How will she continue to thrive in the entertainment industry?
Cousinâs 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.
âValda, it must have been you who added fuel to the fire and said something, thatâs why Brian said such things to me!â Lexi said angrily to Valda, then turned to Brian with a pitiful expression and said, âBrian, I donât know how much bad things Valda said about me to you, but itâs not true. I didnât say much about her, but she said I slandered her and even threatened to send me to jail.â
Valda shrugged and replied, âI didnât say anything that wasnât true. Youâve been spreading rumors about me and I had to defend myself.â
Lexi retorted, âI never spread any rumors about you! Youâre just trying to make me look bad in front of Brian.â
Brian interrupted, âOkay, okay, letâs calm down. Lexi, Valda, I donât want to hear any more accusations.
Letâs just focus on finding a solution to this problem.â
At this moment, Lexi directly turned the tables.
Brianâs gaze became increasingly cold as he spoke, âThe things you said today are enough for me to have you arrested.
Or I could call your classmates over right now and ask them what they heard!â
Lexi was taken aback, âBrian, do you really believe Valdaâs words like that? Iâm your cousin, weâve known each other for so many years, donât you believe me at all?â
âValda is the one I want to spend the rest of my life with, why wouldnât I believe her over you?â Brian coldly retorted, âSo donât challenge my bottom line again, otherwise the next time we meet might be in court!â
After saying this, Brian took Valdaâs hand and got into the car, leaving the Lambert family of three standing there, looking at each other in confusion.
