Captivated by the Ruler of the Underworld
Chapter 299 I'm Happy to Indulge Her

Lela left, and Cosmo watched her back, feeling increasingly strange.

As soon as Cosmo looked away, she saw Richael glance at her and then turn her head. Cosmo instantly calmed down.

Richael, once an award-winning actress, had married into the wealthy Gomez family.

Lela was with Richael, so Lela is part of the Gomez family.

Finally, Cosmo realized the girl's identity-the same Lela who had caused trouble at Stellar Entertainment before, and now she had the support of the Gomez family. Cosmo had assumed the matter was resolved since the Gomez family didn't dig deeper into it. However, running into Lela here was unexpected. Suddenly, Cosmo felt a bit scared.

The scene of Cosmo getting beaten up last time seemed to still linger in her mind.

Ruby sensed Cosmo's unease, held her hand, and asked in confusion, "Cosmo, what's wrong?"

Why did she look so frightened?

Today was Ruby's award day, and this look wasn't perfect. Ruby felt uncomfortable but pretended to be concerned.

Cosmo snapped out of it, patted Ruby's hand, and said, "It's nothing. Nothing. I was distracted."

It was like she was comforting herself.

Cosmo gradually calmed down and began to recall the whole incident.

Lela must have heard her voice just now but showed no expression.

If it had been the previous version of Lela, she would have already attacked Cosmo upon realizing she was sitting behind her. But this time, she didn't.

According to the Gomez family's usual approach, if they had wanted to retaliate earlier, they would have done so, but they didn't.

The previous incident with Flora was so sensational, and Richael, who was part of the entertainment industry and married into the Gomez family, must have known about it.

But Richael didn't show any malicious look just now, which might mean that the matter was over.

It must be over.

Ruby saw Cosmo gradually calm down, her frown easing, and she stopped paying attention to her, focusing her eyes on the stage.

Meanwhile, Lela, wearing Bluetooth earphones, walked to the bathroom.

She opened the door, went in, sat on the toilet lid, and took out her phone to start operating.

Instead of going backstage, Lela opted for a more discreet approach, hacking into the internal system and directly broadcasting the video.

In the luxurious lounge on the other side, Burl watched the slender figure in the surveillance and then looked at Sylvester, who was tapping on the computer.

Burl was speechless. Holding a glass of red wine, he turned his head to look at Sylvester's handsome profile and said, "Sylvester, do you think this is interesting?"

He suddenly called him, saying he wanted to go to the Starlight Awards ceremony. Burl thought Sylvester had changed and wanted to have an affair with a female celebrity.

Unexpectedly, he brought him here to watch Lela.

Burl continued, "Sylvester, why are you doing this?"

Sylvester's long fingers left the keyboard, and he sneered, "People without partners don't have a say."

Burl couldn't argue.

A sense of sadness enveloped him.

Sylvester smirked, staring closely at the award ceremony in the surveillance camera. Seeing Lela get up and leave, he raised an eyebrow. "Lela is venting her anger. I need to watch her and help her anytime, anywhere." Burl felt speechless.

After a long time, Burl reluctantly said, "Sylvester, aren't you afraid of leading Lela astray?"

Sylvester finally turned his head to look at Burl, his eyes fierce and arrogant. "Lela is very smart. She knows what to do and what not. Besides, if she's up to something bad, I'm happy to indulge her." Burl was completely speechless.
