In the Lap of Luxury

Chapter 468 Framing Lydia

Kayla was stunned. She looked at Lydia in disbelief. "How dare you slap me?"

The onlookers were shocked, too. It had happened too quickly, and no one had been able to react in time.

"Yeah, so what? You're a little slow, aren't you?"

"You!"

Before Kayla could say anything else, someone in the crowd shouted, "Mr. Lewis!"

Kayla's expression changed when she heard that. She raised her head and saw Caleb a short distance away, leaning on the door frame.

He had a calm expression on his face. No one could tell what he was really thinking.

Kayla felt her heart skip a beat. She asked cautiously, "Hi, Caleb. When … When did you get here?"

Lydia felt a chill go down her spine when she heard someone calling out to "Mr. Lewis". Once Kayla addressed Caleb, Lydia immediately understood who the man was.

Had he seen everything? He must be furious that she had slapped Kayla, right?

Lydia lowered her head. She didn't want to embarrass herself in front of him. She walked away without saying another word.

Seeing that, Kayla strutted over to Caleb. With an aggrieved look, she said, "You saw that, right, Caleb? That woman hit me for no reason!"

Tears flowed down her cheeks as she spoke.

None of the onlookers dared step up and tell the truth. After all, she was a powerful woman. No one wanted to get on her bad side.

Caleb looked at Kayla and said emotionlessly, "She hit you?"

Kayla nodded.

"Caleb, that woman's a lunatic. Her employee brought the wrong necklace, and I broke it by mistake. But she forced me to pay 30 million dollars for it anyway. I just complained a little about it, and she slapped me."

Kayla's statement removed all the blame from herself. She wasn't sure how long Caleb had been there or how much he had seen.

Right now, she couldn't ruin her image before Caleb, which had taken her many years to build. After all, Caleb was the third son of the Lewis family.

His status was extraordinary, and he had an untouchable position in the entertainment industry. A man like him was someone she would want by her side.

She was trying so hard to get closer to him so she could be in a relationship with him someday.

Caleb remained expressionless when he heard her. Yet he couldn't help but feel deeply disappointed. He hadn't expected her to be such a good actress.

"Is that really what happened?" Caleb asked. He wanted to give her a chance to think about it again.

But Kayla didn't pick up on that. She said resolutely, "Celeb, I would never lie to you! That woman is mad. She hit me in front of everyone. I'll get the best lawyers and sue her to her last penny!"

Seeing that she was unrepentant, Caleb didn't say anything more.

He turned and left after saying, "Do as you please."

Kayle was dumbfounded and frozen in place. Then, she started to feel uneasy.

…

Meanwhile, Lydia exited the backstage area. She went to the lobby and met Grace.

Grace noticed her glum expression and asked in concern, "What's wrong? Did you manage to exchange the necklace?"

Not wanting Grace to worry, Lydia nodded.

She said slowly, "The necklace is unusable now. I have to fix this. If there's nothing else, I'll be heading back first."

Lydia left after she said that. Grace stood in place, confused. What had happened? This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

After a while, Caleb appeared. He saw Grace and immediately asked, "Did you see Lydia? Where did she go?"
