Chapter 269 Chapter 269 Close to the Truth I lowered my head, refusing to say anything. Meanwhile, Emma directly changed the topic. "What do you hope to achieve by coming back? You're not going to ask us to support you financially, are you?" 'Nothing like that. I still want to work in the design industry." Crystal pulled out her old and heavy laptop from a few years back. "Take a look at this. I applied for its design patent two days ago. It looks good, huh? "You two have no idea how hard it was to successfully apply for a design patent somewhere as remote as my hometown. I'd have better odds at winning the lottery." I studied Crystal's designs and suddenly thought that she was actually quite competent. She had been out of the industry for such a long time, but her designs were still quite fresh and innovative.

It was even more impressive when I looked at Crystal's old laptop. I nodded in all seriousness. "You might've been isolated, but you managed to pull it off. The universe is bound to have reserved sbig roles for you to play in life." "Oh, no. I don't need the mental torture, and I certainly couldn't stand it if taking on the role means I won't get to have good meals." Crystal munched on a piece of fried chicken and pointed at her design.

"If Harmon Group is doing the cross-province project, I'll let you use my design patent for free. However, you're going to have to providewith three meals every day." In truth, Crystal's designs met a lot of the current project's requirements in multiple areas. What was more, it involved new types of materials that couldn't be found commonly.

Crystal said that there were a number of manufacturers in her town. It was just that they didn't have the opportunity to maximize their output.

Crystal thought about how she had studied architecture in college for four years. She couldn't just spend her days building someone else's career. That was why she quit her job without her family's knowledge.

"Is Harmon Group still hiring? Even if I can't work as a designer, I can do mundane jobs for you. I'm the best when it comes to photocopying and printing documents." Crystal looked so confident that it madeburst into laughter. She had always been honest, naive, and self- assured. She cfrom a small town, and the people there were very conservative. That was why her family raised and doted on her like they would a boy, even if she was the only daughter in the McCall family. With that said, she wasn't just slap-happy like a man. She was also thoughtful and meticulous.

Crystal brought up Amelia once more. When she saw that Emma and I remained tight-lipped, she squinted her eyes suspiciously. "Did Eva catch Amelia in the act of seducing Leonard? Were you part of the hunt, Emma?" I took a sharp breath and parted my lips, but I didn't say anything. On the other hand, Emma responded honestly and nodded. "That's about the size of it." "Are you for real?" Crystal stopped eating altogether. She started asking Emma about the long. and short of the whole situation.

Emma merely gave Crystal a brief rundown. Afterward, Crystal resumed her normal demeanor immediately.

"Letguess. Amelia even drugged Leonard and had his baby. He's now unconscious, and the Harmon family is forcibly stopping you from stirring up trouble with Amelia because they want to keep the only descendant of the family. Have I got it right?" "D-Did you plant a bug on me, Crystal?" Honestly speaking, I didn't think Crystal could fill in so many details on her own. I was completely taken aback.

Crystal was the de facto leader in our dorm room. So, she carried an air of authority about her the entire time. She even clicked her tongue.

"That's how most of the go. With that said, Leonard should've woken up by now. Then, he would kill off Amelia mercilessly and scrape his way through winning your heart." "Leonard's almost dying. Do you think he's in the mood to win my heart?" I also picked up sfried chicken. My meal got tastier when my friends were around me.

Crystal grumbled that I was too naive as she continued eating. After all, Emma and her could see it and I was e the only one who couldn't. To make matters worse, I handed the diamond over to Amelia and gave her the opportunity she needed.

"You should've givena call. I would've cback at all costs to back you up. begs question. Wh. That bed anther 19 Why did you go to Manovia back then? You didn't cback with a rich guy, either."!

Crystal suddenly put down her fried "Are chicken and stared atwith unblinking eyes. "Are your going to tellthat you got a terminal illness like the female protagonists from romance usually do?" I licked my lips and frowned. She was pretty close to the truth.
