Chapter 77


    “Crystal!” Lyle seemed overwhelmed as he held on to Crystal’s hand. “I didn’t know you’re still in love


    with me. I’m sorry for everything. It’s all my fault.”


    “Lyle, it’s not your fault I fell for you, but love is forever. We’ve known each other for ten years, became


    a couple for two years, and broke up for two years. I tried to forget you, but I couldn’t do it. I’m sorry,


    Lyle. I should have restrained myself from expressing my love.”


    The two of them hugged and looked at each other affectionately. I, on the other hand, was getting


    used and forced to apologize. Lyle had also long since forgotten what he said about living a good


    life with me.


    I would have relented in the past. However, I was surprisingly calm instead of sumbing to pressure.


    I sneered as if I just watched a good show and pped.


    “This is so touching. But why am I not aware that I broke you two up? You want me to admit I’m a


    homewrecker? Dream on!”


    “Miss, why do you insist on making things difficult for Crystal when she’s such a nice girl?” A stranger


    spoke up, displeased. I shot him a look and suddenly recalled that I had met him at Crystal’s partyst


    time.


    No wonder he looked so familiar. He appeared as Crystal’s senior whenever she was interviewed for


    her paintings that were published in the news. He was also the one who had pushed me into the waterContent ? N?velDrama.Org 2024.


    when I was a kid. He was Benjamin’s brother, Benson who had been out of the picture for quite some


    time.


    “Eve!” Lyle walked over and pulled me into his arms, ignoring the fact that I was struggling to get away


    from him. I almost vomited when I caught a whiff of Crystal’s perfume on him. “Crystal is leaving soon.


    Why can’t you agree to such a simple request? We can live a good life after this, okay?”


    I pushed him away forcefully. There wasn’t even a glint of disappointment in my eyes anymore. I only


    felt numb and wronged after everything. I pointed at myself and asked, “Crystal, oh Crystal, how


    affectionate of you. Her career is important, but mine’s not? Don’t you know I’m the one who’s going to


    get hurt if I agree to this?”


    “But you don’t even have a job. No one would care.”


    “So you’re saying I should be wronged because no one cares about my existence? Mr. Smith, is that


    what you mean by living a good life with me? You expect me to submit to you when I’m being called a


    homewrecker? I’m sorry, but I don’t need that. Have you forgotten what you wrote in the divorce


    papers?”


    I would never forget it. The photos he took were enough to ruin the rest of my life when I wanted a


    divorce. “You took so many pictures of me with countless men. I didn’t even know I had so many


    boyfriends. Moreover, they’re all good friends of yours. Call them all over since you like to get cheated


    on so much. Let’s try it. It’s the perfect opportunity since I don’t even know some of their names.”


    I felt like I was going crazy. Things had taken a turn for the worse in such a short time. I pushed Lyle


    away and ran out of the hospital. Fu** his true love, fu** his good life. These two fu***** can do


    whatever they want, I don’t care anymore.


    As for Crystal trying tomit suicide, I found it very funny. It was tantly obvious to me that she was


    putting on an act. How could she evermit suicide when she was such a coward? She was simply


    asking for sympathy to clear her name.


    I hailed a cab back to the apartment on my own, locked the door, and buried myself under the sheets.


    Lyle wouldn’t being back home tonight anyway. I was so tired of the never-ending quarrels and


    schemes.


    It was as if my cousin was deliberately going against me. She would create trouble whenever I had


    peace of mind. Sometimes, I really don’t get why she does it. She’s sessful in her career, pretty, and


    surrounded by eligible bachelors.
