Perfect Marriage with My Substitute Wife

Chapter 95

Kylie’s face turned pale when she saw what her manager sent to her. When did this program become a live broadcast? Isn’t this supposed to be a recorded broadcast?

Little did she know, it was all a plot designed by a bossy superior.

He wanted to see someone in particular right away, so he’d bought the program’s copyright for five hundred million.

Since he was the program’s owner, the production team would have to do as he wished.

After all, no one in Jadeborough dared to mess with Samuel.

Soon after, Nancy and the rest were also informed.

Nancy breathed a sigh of relief. Luckily, I didn’t say anything I shouldn’t have said just now. Kylie is just reaping what she sowed.

Steve and John were safe as well because they didn’t say what they weren’t supposed to.

Kathleen furrowed her brows when she saw the text Charles sent to her.

Why did they suddenly change it from a recorded broadcast to a live broadcast? This is ridiculous. Don’t we need additional technical support now that we’re doing a live broadcast?

With that in mind, she walked outside to have a look around. That was when she saw a few production trucks parked at the side of the road. She instantly knew where the trucks had come from when she saw the logo of Macari Group printed on them.

Kathleen held her forehead at the sight of that. My instincts were right! This must be Samuel’s doing! Has he gone mad?

Kylie returned with a grouchy expression on her face. When she saw Kathleen, she dared not to talk to her with the attitude and tone she’d used before.

Steve strode over as well and asked, “What now?”

With a pale face, Kylie grumbled, “What do you mean? Am I the only one doing the program? What are you asking me for? Why can’t you guys figure it out?”

Steve was stumped. None of us said we weren’t going to find a solution. She was the one who took it upon herself, no?

Kylie realized she’d spoken in an aggressive tone, so she uttered in an apologetic tone, “I’m sorry. I’m just worried. I just want the dinner to be done well.”

“It’s all right.” Steve frowned.

Right then, Nancy approached them and suggested, “Worse comes to worst, we’ll just prepare some home-cooked dishes. That’s the best we can do.”

“What do you guys know how to make?” Steve queried. “Scrambled eggs?”

Kylie and John were just about to say something, but they immediately silenced themselves.

Nancy, on the other hand, uttered softly, “I only know how to make soup. We can’t possibly prepare soup only, can we?”

“If there’s no other way, why don’t we reserve a table at another restaurant?” Kylie suddenly came up with an idea that she thought was brilliant.

In response, Kathleen stared at her and asked monotonously, “The production team only allocated four thousand to spend. If you were to reserve a table at a restaurant, wouldn’t we use up all the money? It’s

not like we can collect money from the people who are eating, right? If we were to spend the money today, how about tomorrow?”

Kylie bit her lips and retorted, “What, then? Since you’re quick to shut me down, why don’t you come up with something instead?”

Kathleen looked at her calmly and said, “Kylie, I’ve rejected your idea because we have to abide by the rules of the program. Since there aren’t any feuds between us, why are you so critical of me? If you keep this up, don’t blame me when I bite back.”

Kathleen’s imposing presence had intimidated Kylie.

Although Kathleen was usually gentle and sweet, she could be frightening when she was angered.

If Samuel was around, she could lose that imposing aura of her, but that didn’t mean she was willing to get pushed around.

Kylie was stunned. In one way or another, Kathleen was still Christopher’s fiancée. If the program they were doing was a recorded broadcast, she couldn’t care less if Kathleen were to complain to Christopher. However, she had no choice but to restrain herself because they were doing a live broadcast.

Hence, she uttered pitifully, “I didn’t say anything offensive, did I? Why would you say that to me?”

Meanwhile, comments started flooding the chatroom.

What the f*ck? I’ve never seen a person as shameless as Kylie!

Indeed. Kylie is the one who’s offending people here and there. How could she turn around and accuse others?

Luckily, this is a live broadcast. If they were doing a recorded broadcast, Kathleen could be said to be bullying Kylie after some editing.

I refuse to accept the rumors of Kylie being romantically linked with Steve! She’s neither worth it nor qualified!

“That’s enough.” Steve’s patience was wearing thin. “Can we talk about the important matters instead?”

“Steve, I was just trying to lessen your burden.” Kylie started acting pitifully again.

However, Steve was getting sick of her.

“If it’s a dinner, I think I have an idea,” Kathleen uttered plainly.

“Really?” Steve looked at her in bewilderment. “Are you able to get a chef to come?”

“No.” Kathleen shook her head.

Steve fell silent sheepishly.

“I can cook, though,” Kathleen added coldly. “However, I’ve gone to the kitchen to look around just now. There are things I need. We need to buy them.”

“Sure!” Steve looked at her and asked, “Are you sure you’re able to do it?”

“Yes.” Kathleen nodded.

“You can cook? Why didn’t you say so earlier?” Kylie looked at her disdainfully.

“Did I get a chance to speak?” Kathleen replied coldly. “You were busy ordering me around, right?”

Kylie was stunned.

Kathleen ignored Kylie and said to Steve, “I need two assistants in the kitchen.”

“I’ll do it!” John exclaimed enthusiastically.

“I’ll help as well. I can make soup and make your life easier,” Nancy said.

Kathleen nodded. “Okay. Let’s go to the kitchen.”

With that, Kathleen led them to the kitchen. Content © NôvelDrama.Org.

Steve shifted his gaze toward Kylie and ordered, “Don’t just stand there. Go and set up the table.”

After Steve said that, he went to the kitchen to find the others.

Kylie stomped her feet in anger. What’s going on? If Kathleen knew how to cook, why did she get me to find chefs? She’d embarrassed me!

At that moment, they were all busy in the kitchen.

Kathleen put on an apron and looked at Steve. “Please get someone to buy the things I need. After that, find out how many people are we cooking for, and see if any of them have allergies.”

“Oh, okay!” Upon hearing that, Steve understood Kathleen knew what she was doing. “I’ll go now!”

He then passed Kylie a list made by Kathleen and said, “Go and buy what we need according to this list.”

After that, he went to look for the production team.

Kylie was utterly displeased when she was looking at the list.

Why do I need to go? Why can’t Kathleen go instead? She’s the one cooking, right? She should go and buy the ingredients herself!

Since she had cameras pointing at her, she didn’t dare to show her anger.

Hence, she left with the list.

When Steve returned, he said to Kathleen, “We have eight diners.”

“All right.” Kathleen nodded and started to get busy.

Meanwhile, Nancy and John were assisting her by rinsing the ingredients.

As for the preparations of the ingredients and cooking, Kathleen did it on her own.

An hour later, Kathleen looked at Steve and asked, “Where are the things I asked for?”

“I’ve gotten Kylie to buy them, but she’s not back yet.” Steve was also getting anxious because the sky had darkened.

After John went outside to take a look, he returned panting and yelling, “Bad news! The mayor and his entourage have arrived!”

Everyone was taken aback.

So soon? Our dishes aren’t even done yet!
