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
1/3
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!”
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.
