Chapter 106
Crystal’s words made Emma burst into laughter. She laughed heartily and sarcastically, only stopping when she saw Crystal gritting her teeth.
She then looked at Crystal and commented sarcastically, “Crystal, remember when you kept hyping up the scandal between you and Trevor, as well as the time you forged a pregnancy ultrasound to destroy our marriage? Have you ever thought about why I did not pester you about it?”
Emma‘s makeup today was a little harsh, so when she stood in front of Crystal and spat those words aggressively, Crystal was intimidated.
She had always regarded Emma as an insignificant and transparent being, or a pushover who could withstand any type of bully.
At this moment, however, she was a little shocked by Emma‘s stance.
“You–” Crystal raised her finger and pointed at Emma, speechless. Her shoulders trembled violently because of her suppressed anger.
Emma‘s words hit her on the spot, making her guilty and embarrassed.
She was right. Back then, Crystal was desperate to destroy Emma and Trevor‘s marriage, so she purposely stirred up trouble but did not expect that one day she would be counterattacked by Emma.
Emma added, “You caused a lot of damage back then, but I never did anything to you until today. I think I have made myself clear many times. I‘m currently working with Trevor, and there is nothing more to our relationship than that.”
The process of clearing her name was clearly exhausting. Not only did she have to clarify with Crystal and Arianna, but she had to show her current status clearly to Alice as well.
Sadly, they did not believe her, as if Trevor was such a sought–after dessert.
Indeed, she had also been crazy about this dessert, but that was all over.
She looked at Crystal coldly and questioned, “Do you think I should give up the pursuit of other handsome men? Or is it not great to be a screenwriter? Why would you think I would return to Trevor? With all due respect, just because you want your ex back, doesn‘t mean I want him back too”
Her words were full of disgust for him. If she disliked him, that meant she was mocking Crystal‘s choice, so the latter felt so upset that she lost control.
Just as Crystal was about to step forward and scratch Emma‘s indifferent face, the washroom door was suddenly kicked open!
Emma and Crystal looked up at the same time to see Trevor standing outside with a cold expression.
Crystal‘s legs instantly went limp, and she almost collapsed to the ground, while Emma raised the corner of her lips into a mocking smile.
Looking at Trevor‘s expression which was filled with ardent killing intent, it was most likely that he had overheard the conversation between Emma and Crystal, especially about the fake pregnancy ultrasound.
Emma never thought of bringing this up in front of Trevor, so she never expected that he would find out in this way.
The truth would come to light sooner or later. Since Crystal did something as despicable as that, she should pay the price for her actions.
Besides, it was the women‘s washroom after all, so Trevor did not step in.
Standing at the door, he stared at Crystal with a chill all over his body and questioned, “What do you mean by fake pregnancy ultrasound?”
Crystal‘s whole body was trembling fervently. In addition to the smeared makeup on her face as she turned pale with Trevor‘s appearance, she looked even more frightening
After watching the situation, Emma decided to leave first. Anyway, it was Crystal‘s evil deed, so she would have to explain it to Trevor herself.
However, before she could step out of the washroom, Trevor dragged her back and questioned her in an unfriendly tone, “Where do you think you‘re going?”
Emma frowned slightly. He might be really angry this time as he exerted so much force on her arm that she felt pain.
After struggling a little, she responded calmly, “President Bateson, this is a matter between the two of you. I don‘t think it‘s appropriate for me to stay here.”
