Tristan grumbled, “Crystal, be more respectful to your elders. You come from a family of well-educated doctors, so you should understand these principles. Mom, please don’t get angry. Crystal just graduated. She isn’t familiar with the rules of the world.”
A scornful look flashed across Veronica’s face. “That’s why I told you that a person’s background is extremely important. A girl from a small family like her will never be quite up to standard.
He immediately said, “Mom, please overlook it! Give her a chance!”
Then, Veronica waved her hand dismissively. “Forget it; I can’t be bothered to waste my time on this. Since my son asked me to, I’ll give you another chance. Pack up your things and go to my son’s department right now. I’ll handle the rest. Also, don’t you dare use our family name to show off to others before this matter is confirmed.”
At that moment, Crystal finally seemed to understand what was going on. So, she blurted out, “Wait! Mrs. Fields, a-are you trying to make me your daughter-in-law?”
Veronica sneered in response, “Things aren’t confirmed yet. Don’t make it sound so certain. Although your parents’ work is acceptable, they still can’t match up to my family. Whether or not you become my daughter-in-law will depend on your performance!” Tristan nodded too. “Crystal, my dad actually wants me to marry the daughter of a company chairman. But, I don’t have any feelings for her. Rather, I fell for you the moment I set eyes on you. So, you need to do well and make my parents accept you!”
At this point, Crystal was so furious that she smiled and pointed at Tristan as she said, “Dr. Fields, please don’t trouble yourself. Hurry up and go to that chairman’s daughter. I am not worthy of you. Anyway, I still have work to do. I’ll be taking my leave!”
Then, she turned to leave. However, Veronica became enraged and roared, “Stop! What’s with that attitude?! What’s with that manner of speech?! Is that how you talk to your elders?!”
Similarly, Tristan anxiously said, “Crystal, h-how can you act in this manner? This is my mother!”
Crystal retorted, “So what if she’s your mother? It’s not like she’s my mother! Dr. Fields, do you think of yourself as some sort of God? Do you think all women are scrambling to marry you? Let me say this; you’re not worth my time! The two of you should leave. Please stop being an eyesore here!”
Upon hearing those words, Veronica exploded in anger. “What are you saying?! How dare you speak to me in that manner?! Believe it or not, I can kick you out of the hospital at will! I can even make your parents lose their jobs!” Thus, Crystal sneered, “Well, I’m looking forward to it! Hmph; I’ve never met people as shameless as you. Are you threatening me because I rejected your son? Go on then; try it. Don’t go easy on me. I want to see just what you are capable of that you can make my parents lose their jobs!”
Veronica was furious beyond words. She yelled in anger, “B*tch, you’re asking for it! Fine! Just you wait! I’ll make it so you come groveling at my feet later! Let’s go, Tristan! A woman like that doesn’t deserve to enter our family!”
In response, Tristan glanced at Crystal regretfully. “Crystal, beauty isn’t everything. There are many beautiful people in this world, but those that can marry into wealth are few. Do you know what kind of opportunity you’ve just missed?”
All of a sudden, Crystal burst out laughing so hard that she doubled over. “Oh, my; I didn’t know. Did I just miss the opportunity to marry into wealth? Tsk, tsk. Looks like I really don’t have much luck in that aspect. Dr. Fields, thank you for your kindness. Still, marrying into your family? Just forget it; hahaha…”
