Chapter 85


    At that, I smelled something fishy. How could people who don’t like to gossip ever exist in this


    world? But I felt even weirder when I realized that the threedies who gossiped about me yesterday


    had gone missing. After handling some paperwork, I could not help but ask a colleague beside me


    about their whereabouts.


    The colleague shrugged. “They made a big mistake in the reports yesterday, so they were fired.”


    Upon hearing that, my instincts told me that they were fired because they gossiped about me


    yesterday. But, this is not mypany. Why do I have such special treatment?


    However, it was merely a passing thought. Anyway, it was a good thing for me. I was just an ordinary


    person. Even if people discovered my identity, no one would pay attention to a haggard wife. They


    might as well pay attention to a prettydy like Crystal.


    Everything in the office progressed smoothly that day. After work, I took a cab to the Smith residence.


    Since the news on the Inte had gone viral, I thought Sharon must have known everything. Now that


    things hade to this, I guessed she wouldn’t insist on asking me to get along with Lyle anymore.


    I knew Sharon was kind to me. She didn’t disdain me and even asked the man whom I’ve had a secret


    crush on to marry me. However, this man didn’t love me nor care about me at all, so I thought it was


    time to end our marriage.

    “Mrs. Smith, Old Mrs. Smith was just talking about you,” said Josephine enthusiastically as she opened


    the door for me.


    “I miss Grandma too. Oh, I brought her a box of tea. It can help to reduce blood pressure. Remind her


    to drink it every day. Here you go. Brew a pot of tea for her.”


    With that, I passed the tea to Josephine. When I passed by the yard, I saw Lyle’s Porsche was parked


    under the tree. I frowned as I queried, “He’s back?”


    “Yes. Mr. Smith is here to visit Old Mrs. Smith today, and it just so happens that you’re here too. Old


    Mrs. Smith will definitely beam in delightter,” said Josephine with a smile.


    I hesitated for a little upon hearing that but eventually decided to enter the house. Since I was already


    here, how could I leave without seeing Sharon? Anyway, it might not be a bad thing that Lyle was here.


    I could take the opportunity to let Sharon know about my rtionship with him so that she wouldn’t


    force us to continue our marriage.


    This marriage must end! I didn’t mind if Lyle loved Crystal or anyone else—it’s none of my business.


    Soon, I reached the garden. When I was about to knock on the door, an argument was heard in the


    room.


    “Grandma, why do you dislike Crystal? She is a talented and knowledgeabledy, fitting the profile for


    the daughter-inw of our family. Aspared to Yvonne, she is much better. If it weren’t for you, I


    wouldn’t part with her for two years and couldn’t be together until today.”


    “Then tell me what’s bad about Eve. She is loyal to you and always takes good care of you. Does she


    ever give you problems after she married you? When I was sick, it was Eve who stayed up all night to


    take care of me, and you were messing around with other women at that time!”


    At that, Sharon red at Lyle with disappointment and barked, “You little rascal! Even my


    granddaughter-inw treats me better than you!”


    “Grandma, I know you like Yvonne. But why should I sacrifice my happiness? Back then, if you didn’t


    change the painter’s name of Autumnal Panorama from Yvonne to Crystal and forced Crystal to make


    the decision, she wouldn’t go to Anndur.”


    Hearing that, my eyes opened wide. What did I just listen to? My application to St. John’s University


    was sessful, but Sharon changed my painting to Crystal’s name? So this is the truth?


    At that moment, I thought there couldn’t be anything worse than that. However, I did not expect that


    something more tragic was awaiting me.


    Sharon picked up a teacup and smashed it on Lyle’s head as she roared, “As you said, she left you for


    the sake of her future. If she didn’t want to go, am I even able to force her?”


    “You persuaded her to write her name on Yvonne’s painting and recorded a video as evidence. Then,


    you said you would post it online to tell everyone that she impersonated Yvonne if she didn’t agree to


    your request and leave Avenport. You’re the one who set Crystal up!”
