The Enticing CEO’s Chosen Bride

Chapter 1130

No one would have thought they’d bump into each other under these circumstances.

Crysti was still recovering from her injuries, but she didn’t want to be cooped up in the hospital. There was a

celebration party today where Chloe planned to officially announce her joining Starlight International, so she tagged

along.

Despite being wheelchair–bound and somewhat immobile, Chloe had Miles doll her up anyway. Her gorgeous

forehead was on full display, contacts replacing her usual glasses. Her beautiful features stood out even more now.

Dressed in a white dress with a thin blanket covering her legs, Miles‘ meticulous styling made her look completely

different from before.

If she weren’t sitting in a wheelchair, if it weren’t for her somewhat familiar eyes, Philip wouldn’t have recognized

her. He would never believe that the woman before him was the same Crysti who used to follow him around.

.

Surprise flashed in Philip’s eyes, his body stiffening slightly. Melindá, quick to notice his reaction, gritted her teeth

and gave Philip a hard tug.

Crysti glanced at Philip, her gaze lingering on his arm where Melinda was holding on to him, before shifting her gaze

away. She was acting colder than a stranger.

Cicely stood by, witnessing Crysti’s demeanor, her eyes slightly shifting. Pretending to be strangers? A smirk tugged

at her lips before her face turned serious again.

“Let’s go in,” she said nonchalantly. Her assistant pushed Crysti past Philip, with Cicely following behind calmly.

From the same elevator they came out of, two more people emerged.

The man was tall and handsome with a solemn face, and the woman was stunning, resembling a goddess.

Philip’s gaze followed Crysti, even after they had long left, he couldn’t take his eyes off her. Seeing this, Melinda was

boiling with rage!

Upon entering the hotel, they were met with sneers and mockery. Now seeing Crysti, who appeared to be a

completely different person rendered Philip speechless.

Everyone’s attitude towards her changed overnight, even Philip. It was all because of her shameless father!

Crysti purposefully dolled herself up today, just to rub it in her face!

Despite the sudden turn of events, how could she have accepted it so quickly? From heaven to hell, and now the

only person she could rely on, Philip, was acting this way! Even though Philip eventually composed himself, Melinda

was still fuming.

Upon seeing Crysti at the banquet hall, all the artists who used to follow her were now swarming around her.

“Crysti, congratulations on signing with Starlight International

“I heard you were personally invited by Ms. Summers, Crysti. You’re on fire! Don’t forget about us. Ms. Summers

has such a sharp eye!”

“I heard that Ms. Summers has already arranged a role that fits you perfectly. You’ll be a star in no time.”

Crysti just politely smiled in response.

In this competitive environment, it’s hard to tell what’s real and what’s not. Faced with all these fair–weather

compliments, she could only respond with a polite smile. She didn’t enjoy being fawned over. If she did, she

wouldn’t have left home to follow Philip, taking insults and doing all the grunt work. But what she didn’t care for was

something others cherished and enjoyed. Melinda watched her from a distance, grinding her teeth in anger.

At that moment, some people noticed the pair and compared them to Crysti, their faces turning weird. Crysti

inevitably saw the two of them, a cold laugh in her heart and a smirk on her face.

Her subtle expression ignited Melinda’s rage. She marched up to Crysti’s wheelchair, blocking her path.

Crysti frowned, looking at the two people in front of her, her gaze icy and piercing, causing Philip to feel a bit

disoriented. “Crysti…”

“What do you want?” Before Philip could finish his sentence, Crysti cut him off with a cold tone.

Seeing Crysti’s cold and disdainful attitude, Melinda sneered. “What’s with the attitude, Crysti? Being signed by

Starlight International wasn’t something to be proud of. Your cold and condescending attitude, what’s the deal? Is it

because Philip dumped you? He gave you a chance and you didn’t have the ability to make it big. On top of that,

you’re a good–for–nothing who can’t help him in any way. Have you looked in the mirror? What gives you the right

to act so superior? Oh, you think you’re amazing now because you’ve changed your image? You’re still a useless

waste!”

Melinda grew more and more agitated as she spoke, venting all her pent–up anger from her family’s bankruptcy on

Crysti.

Crysti watched as Melinda blocked her path and started making a scene, gritting her teeth. She was never one to

have thick skin. A couple of whispers behind her back–would make her blush, not to mention now, being yelled at in

public.

Everyone’s attention was now on them. Philip, being a man who valued his dignity, tried to pull Melinda away. “What

are you doing!”

“What? I called her a good–for–nothing. Was I wrong?”

Philip didn’t respond, seemingly agreeing with her.

After a moment of silence, Melinda sneered, “See, you think so too.”

“That’s enough, stop fighting. Everyone is watching us!”

“Let them watch! Didn’t they invite me here to humiliate me? Isn’t this grand event meant to announce Crysti’s

upcoming success? Let everyone watch and see when Crysti will make it big!”

Crysti clamped her mouth shut, eyeing the woman in front of her who was on the verge of losing it. A cold smirk

suddenly appeared on her frosty face.

“Me, good for nothing? Melinda, how exactly did you manage to stand your ground in the entertainment industry

with your so–called real talents and

skills?”
