Standing close to the billboard, I saw everything unfold before my eyes. I can’t believe Crystal would come out here alone. What is she thinking? She’s just gonna make this worst.
“Oh, so you’re Crystal, huh? I heard you’re a little sl*t!”
“Not only that, but I heard she’s also the reason why the two brothers are having a fight.”
“That’s old news. Have you guys heard of the recent news about her? They say that she was fooling around with a bunch of men at Jetroina. You’re such a goddess, Crystal, to be able to satisfy multiple men at once like that.”
“Hahaha!”
Crystal was being disparaged and ridiculed by the crowd surrounding her. Suddenly, a journalist came out of nowhere and started taking pictures of her. Due to the copious amount of people surrounding her, it was very hard for Crystal’s driver to escort her out of there.
“You’re incredible, Ms. Yates. Even after that whole incident at the wedding ceremony, you still have the courage to walk out here. What do you plan on doing next?”
“Mr. Lucas is still single. Are you going after him next? You were spotted with him at a café recently.”
Crystal had a vacuous look on her face while being pushed around by the crowd. She was reticent to say anything to the journalist. Her pale white face made her look like a body without a soul.
That look on her face reminded me of the time I was surrounded by journalists. Fortunately for me, I had Christopher to back me up at that time.
“Enough, what more do you guys want from me? It’s not like I’ve done something bad to any of you. So stop pestering me, okay? Beat it!” Crystal was livid. In the heat of the moment, she gave the person beside her a strong push.
“Ow! Help! my leg! It hurts!” An old man in his sixties fell onto the ground and held onto his leg.
“I can’t believe she would harm an innocent old man! Call the cops! We must send her to jail.”
Despite the huge crowd, Crystal’s eyes somehow found their way onto me. When our eyes met, she gave me a minatory look and yelled out loud, “You! It’s you, isn’t it? You’re the one who set this up. I’ll make you pay for this, Yvonne!”
I have a bad feeling about this. I quickly took a step back from the crowd. Struggling in the crowd, Crystal added on, “You think you’ve won, Yvonne? No! Let me tell you something, It will take way more than this to bring me down. Mark my words, I’ll make you crumble in front of me one day.”
Due to the dazzling flashes of the cameras, the crowd was unable to open their eyes. Crystal, who was dashing toward me, ended up getting pushed onto the ground. In spite of that, she continued to yell at me.
Upon hearing the sound of police sirens, I finally came back to my senses. Oh yeah, I’m supposed to meet up with Christopher. I should get going. He’ll be mad at me if I let him face his date alone.
I immediately turned around and ran toward the café. On my way there, I called Natalie and informed her about Crystal’s situation. This is the best I can do to help, Crystal. The rest is up to you.
Upon entering the café, I was greeted by Christopher’s impatient face. He was exuding a menacing aura around him.
I let out a chuckle and waved at him before dashing over to his seat. He’s definitely mad at me. I’ll need to find a way to pacify him later on.
“Mr. Lane, Mrs. Lane said that we should get engaged once we’ve become familiar with each other. We should set our engagement day for the first of October. I have looked into the weather forecast. The weather on that day will be perfect. What do you think?” the woman queried with a delighted look on her face.
