Charlie asked directly. “Did Crystal say something to you?”
Emily lowered her head and didn’t speak
Charlie paused briefly, instructing the driver to tum around. He then addressed Emily. Til arrive at your
ce m apprimatily ten minutes. Come domatales, and we can have a face to face conversation
With that he ended the call
Emily stared at her phone, a wave of mgret washing over her She realized that her impulsive decision
to call had potentially worsened the situation inte resolving it
A few minutester, she went out the door, not alerting Crystal, and quietly went downstairs alone
She waited downstairs for a minute when Charlie’s car pulled up in front of her The window rolled down
and Charlie sat in the back, looking at Emily and saying
“Get in
Emily walked around to the other side and got in the car
Charlie’splexion turned pale as he questioned, “What did Crystal say to you?”
Emily shook her head and responded, “It’s not her fault it was our mistake for using your wine without
asking for permission”
Charlie sneered, “Did she im that I look down on her and despise you all, which is why I discarded
the wine?”
Feeling uneasy, Emily replied, “Regardless, it was our fault. Im willing topensate for it.”
Charlie’s expression grew darker, and he stated, “Emily, we’ve known each other for quite some time
now. Don’t you understand the kind of person I am? Do you truly think I care about a bottle of wine?”
Emily humedly said, “No, it’s just that I feel guilty!”
Charlie didn’t say anything more, opened his phone, and showed Emily the messages Crystal had sent
him. The day before yesterday, and yesterday, she’s been messaging me non-stop. Just take a look for
yourself!”
Emily took hold of the phone, her hands trembling as the scrolled through the chat history. Her
Charlie spoke up, his voice filled with honesty. “Honestly, I could have arranged for you to meet Crystal
in person so you could witness her true character. However,! deemed it too repulsive. I don’t wish to
subject myself to such disgust, nor do I want to put you in an ufortable position.”
Anger surged through Emily, causing her to tremble. It wasn’t just anger, she also felt a deep sense of
humiliation. Crystal hade to care for her as her sister-inw, yet she had been betrayed and made
to feel utterly humiliated.
But now, her brother’s fiancée, the woman about to marry her brother, was actually hitting on Charlie!
This made her feel like she had lost all of her dignity in front of Charliet
Moreover, Crystal had been hitting on Charlie just before sheined to her. It was just that Charlie
didn’t respond. Crystal was so furious that she deliberately bad-mouthed Charlie and stirred up trouble
between Emily and Charlie
She looked at the shameless words and pictures Crystal sent, feeling her head buzzing. She didn’t say
anything, couldn’t even say a word, put down her phone, got out of the car, and strode towards the
building!
As Emily ascended the stairs, herplexion was pallid, and her hands trembled with a mix of
emotions. She approached Crystal’s door and knocked, intending to confront her
However, when Crystal opened the door and Emily saw her face, a wave of disgust washed over her,
rendering her unable to articte the questions she had in
mind
Emily carefully reflected on the past two days. She realized that Crystal had been lounging on the
couch, indulging in shows and idle conversations, without making any substantial meals for her. Most of
the meals consisted of takeout, purchased with Emily’s own money
Yet, whenever Crystal learned that Charlie wasing over, her demeanor would instantly transform.
She would proactively go grocery shopping, meticulously apply makeup, and try on different outfits.

“What’s the matter? Why are you silent?”
