“What are you up to this time, Crystal?” I asked through clenched teeth as I tried to suppress the burning anger within me.
Crystal broke into a sinister grin. “What do you think I’m up to? I just want to piss you off as much as I can! You got pretty bold with someone like Sabrina supporting you, huh? Thanks to her spreading my scandal everywhere, people have been pestering me about it since my return! Heck, they even went as far as trying to have the press interview me! She should’ve seen this coming before trying to ruin my reputation!”
Hearing that made me tremble all over in anger, and I was about to make my way toward the pregnant woman when Crystal grabbed me by the arm. “I know it’s normal for men to fool around before getting married, but… For a pregnant woman to expose the truth at the wedding in front of everyone? Isn’t that just exciting? Do you think Sabrina will choose to accept the fact that her groom was sleeping around, or will she call off the wedding altogether? Go on, take a guess! I’ll even reward you for getting it right!”
She’s seriously planning on sabotaging a wedding this grand? I couldn’t believe how far Crystal would go to get revenge on Sabrina for sticking up for me. “Crystal, this is between you and me! Just come at me and leave Sabrina out of this!”
“Oh, that simply won’t do! Sabrina has to pay the price for messing with me, and you’re not going anywhere unless I say so, Yvonne!” Crystal said with a twisted grin on her face. I thought about asking for help but realized there was no one else I could trust. There’s no telling how people would respond to this. If someone decides to start yelling and cause a scene, I’d be playing right into Crystal’s hands!
“You’re crazy! You’re really crazy, Crystal! How could you do such a thing? Aren’t you afraid of karma coming back at you?” I tried my best to brush her arm off, but she maintained a firm grip and held a knife to my waist.
“Stop struggling or I’ll stab you. It’d be a shame for you to die now that you’ve finally married Christopher, you know? Think about it, Yvonne. If you die, Monica will steal Christopher, and you wouldn’t be able to do a thing about it! Tsk, tsk, tsk… It’d be such a tragedy!”
I froze upon hearing that and didn’t dare move a muscle. This isn’t like Crystal at all! As someone who always prioritizes her image over everything else, there’s no way she’d take a huge risk like this! Something must’ve happened to her without me realizing it and changed her completely!
In my state of anxiousness and desperation, I softened my tone and pleaded with her, “Please don’t do this, Crystal! You can take your anger out on me however you like, and I won’t even utter a single word of complaint! Please, you have to stop that woman!”
Regardless of whether that woman’s story was true, her words were most certainly capable of ruining the best day of Sabrina’s life.
“Oh, I wouldn’t dare hurt you! You’re the apple of Christopher’s eye, remember? I’d be dead if I so much as laid a finger on you!” Despite what she said, Crystal kept that knife pressed against my waist and gave it a light jab.
The ceremony was coming to an end, and it would soon be time for the ring exchange. I began to sweat out of anxiousness as I prayed for Christopher to show up and notice the state I was in.
“Have you gone mad, Crystal? Why are you doing this?”
“Like I said, I want to make you suffer! But since you’re begging me so nicely, I’ll be kind enough to make you a deal. Have Christopher go on stage and announce that he’ll marry me. After that, I want you to get down on your knees and tell everyone that you’re the selfish, shameless homewrecker instead! You do that, and I’ll have someone take the woman away. What do you think?”
