Chapter 1134
“She used to be so damn snooty, acting like she’s too good for anyone. Crysti never acted like that.”
“But in my opinion, the most despicable one has got to be Philip! He had Crysti right by his side but chose Melinda
for some investment? Some guys really have terrible discernment, ditching a golden opportunity for some measly
stuff!”
That hit Philip right where it hurts.
Melinda didn’t even compare.
“I watched Crysti take care of him for years with my own eyes! He was always snapping at her, giving her the cold
shoulder, only Ms. Watson was patient with him!”
“Everybody knows they were dating, and Philip cheated on her during that time, even had a kid with Melinda, and
announced it publicly at the hospital. Talk about irresponsible!”
“And Melinda, knowing they were a couple, still had to stick her nose in!”
The sarcastic comments came wave after wave, leaving Philip and Melinda looking worse than a dog’s dinner. They
felt regret and humiliation wash over them, wishing they could just disappear.
Looking at the pair in front of her, Crysti felt a sense of relief.
She had always tried to avoid conflicts, being patient when she could, never putting others in a tough spot unless it
was absolutely necessary. Tonight, she felt the most satisfied she had in years.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtShe thought she would be heartbroken over Philip choosing Melinda, but she realized she didn’t feel much for Philip
now.
The only feeling left was seeing the shock in his eyes when he found out her true identity. He was shocked because
her true identity was far more valuable than Melinda’s.
She even considered compromising with her family when she saw how hard he was working for his new show, how
stressed he was trying to raise funds. If she pleaded tearfully, her parents would surely relent, and if all else failed,
she could turn to Claud, who could offer the money with a flick of his fingers.
She was just one step away, just one step.
And before she even made a move, he betrayed her for Melinda.
“Good thing I didn’t reveal my true identity to you earlier.” Crysti said coldly, “I always wanted to accomplish
something together with you through my own efforts. For you, I was even willing to give up my privileged life,
hoping for a genuine relationship. But turns out…”
She laughed at Philip, “Thanks for teaching me a lesson, showing me how cheap and untrustworthy your love is!
You even sold yourself out for a show’s/ investment!”
Philip felt utterly humiliated under her mocking laughter.
“I’ve never felt superior for being a part of the Watson family. I’m just luckier than others. What people yearn for, I
can have with a snap of my fingers. Things that come too easily don’t seem to mean much to me. I thought I had to
work hard and make sacrifices for what I want. And thank you Melinda…” She turned her gaze to Melinda. “Thanks
for reminding me that being born lucky is a strength. Everyone wants to get what they desire with ease. Working
hard is a lifelong thing, and getting what you want is also a lifelong thing. Looking back, I don’t know what I was
thinking, having the opportunity to enjoy good fortune but choosing to face hardships instead…”
Neither Philip nor Melinda could say a word.
Crysti took a deep breath, “Melinda is pregnant now. To avoid causing her any further distress, Philip, you better
take er and leave. Otherwise, if anything happens, the blame will definitely fall on me. I can take it, but I doubt you
guys can…”
Crysti’s expression turned icy, “So, off you go! The farther, the better. Melinda, you think you’re so capable? Let’s
see who’s more capable, you or me!”
Melinda’s face changed at her words. She sneered at Crysti. “Why are you always competing with me? Still have
feelings for Philip? A man who could be easily taken away by me, you still can’t let go?”
Crysti laughed coldly, “Competing with you for him? You’re overthinking. I just can’t stand you two, what makes you
think I have to put up with his betrayal and your insults?”
Claud smiled subtly beside them. Although it was somewhat beneath him to quarrel with these petty people, they
needed to know that the Watson family was not to be messed with.
Philip was speechless, staring at Crysti’s beautiful face.
Melinda turned pale. She felt a wave of panic, and as she looked around, she spotted Chloe on the stage, smiling
down at them. A chill ran up her spine.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe remembered her only confrontation with Chloe, who had even threatened to blacklist her. She thought it was
ridiculous at the time, but now
she felt fear.
Chloe didn’t blacklist her directly, instead, she brought out Crysti to stop her at every turn. Now, Crysti was probably
unmatched in the entire entertainment industry.
Seeing there was no more drama to unfold, Chloe called up the artists attending the fashion week, including
Jeanette and Winston.
The attention gradually shifted to them.
When Melinda and Philip left, no one.noticed.
Chloe had to socialize at the party, and Cicely, as Crysti’s manager, was introduced to Claud.
Please take good care of her.”
Cicely smiled, “With you here, it shouldn’t be too troublesome.”
Crysti chuckled on the side, “Though it’s my brother who’s supposed to be looking after me, now it feels like you’re
the one being taken care of?”
“If no one’s giving me a hard time, I’m obviously going to be happy,” Cicely admitted frankly, raising her glass to
Claud, “Mr. Watson, looking forward to your care.”
As she spoke, her delicate eyebrow’s curved into a smile. The words she spoke sounded no different from normal,
but her voice, naturally soft and flirtatious, seemed to be alluring at all times.
