Chapter 1601


    With the man''s words further fueling the crowd''s outcry, everyone gave Crystal odd stares. The women


    looked at her with contemptuous eyes, while the men looked at her with ridicule and lust, as though she


    was a minx that didn''t mind getting together with a married man.


    Standing at a distance, the crown prince wore a stern expression and was about to step in when


    Phoenix stopped him. "Hold your horses. Let''s wait and see what happens next."


    The crown prince stayed silent at Phoenix''s suggestion, as he assumed thetter might have a n of


    his own.


    Crystal''s face was red from the crowd''s insults. She was so irked her body trembled all over. "Don''t


    make things up! It''s because I''m displeased with Nevend Pharmaceuticals stealing Cunningham


    Pharmaceuticals'' recipe that I''m even standing here. That''s why... even in shame... I''m here speaking


    up for Cunningham Pharmaceuticals," she added in a hurry.


    The man beside Daniel sneered, "Who do you think you are? Who gave you the right to speak for


    Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.


    Cunningham Pharmaceuticals? Did you think that just because you''re close with Matthew, you''re


    qualified to speak up for Cunningham Pharmaceuticals? Let me remind you that Sasha Cunningham is


    the one who owns Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. You''re only a shameless mistress at best. You''re not


    qualified to speak for them!"


    The crowd chimed in as well.


    "My word! Are girls these days so shameless?"


    "She really thinks of herself as the legal wife when she''s only a mistress? She''s trying to meddle with


    someone else''s family affairs?"


    "Hah, what else won''t she do now that a woman like her is reduced to a mere mistress?"


    "How can someone with such good looks act so shamelessly?"


    "So unscrupulous. I''m sure it''s because of the money.'' "Really? With how pretty she is, maybe I should


    give her some money too?"


    As the crowd''s insults grew worse, Crystal was close to tears.


    Matthew frowned deeply and was about to step in.


    However, Gregory spoke up first. "You''re Joseph Harrison''s granddaughter, Crystal Harrison, am I


    right? I remember you. There was a time when your grandfather brought you here to Stonedale to visit


    me. Ah, how innocent of a child you were back then. It''s reallymentable to see just what kind of


    person you''ve turned out to be. However, you should mind what you say, even if you are the


    granddaughter of Joseph. Today is a joyous day for Nevend Pharmaceuticals, yet here you are


    using us of stealing from Cunningham Pharmaceuticals. This is an act of nder! I have already


    made it clear that Nevend Pharmaceuticals will take legal action against those who nder us!"


    Hisst sentence was spoken with a cold tone, as though he was truly angered by Crystal.


    The crowd joined in once more. "That''s right! She should be tried by thew!"


    "So what if she''s Joseph''s granddaughter? Does that give her the right to simply use someone?"


    "How dare she nder Dr. Huntington! We should have your grandfather here to kneel and beg for


    forgiveness!"


    As the crowd continued their uproar, members of the Ten Greatest Families of Stonedale gradually


    surrounded Crystal. Co?tent of Drаmа?ovels.cоm


    Her face red with anger, Crystal bellowed, "I''m not lying! I''m telling the truth! W-What gives you the right


    to ask me to leave?"
